Full Conference HERE

I may be the victim of delusion.  That's entirely possible.  It may be that prejudice against Bp. Fellay and the Society is now so deeply embedded in my psyche, that I can not view the situation objectively.  Nevertheless, accompanying the words of the Superior General, I seem to hear in the background a distinct hiss of the Serpent.

I would think the sspx could provide a precise written update to the state of the society than an hours long anguish.

Stgobnait:

I wouldn't even look at it, I have only to look around my Chapel to know the state of the society.

Well, exactly.  We had only to observe what was going on in our own sspx chapel to understand the true state of the society.
Yes, a written report would have been preferable.  But Fellay, apparently, went into one of Menzingen's business accounts and extracted enough cash to fund an expensive flight to the US, in order to address his people face to face.  On arrival, we know he visited at least one chapel.  Did he visit others?  Who knows?  In any case, Ignatius, it wasn't an "(hour's) long anguish." It was more like two and one half hours of anguish.  I plunged into its gray depths for almost that  period of time, and am now decompressing.
Surely, captive trads will eventually wake up.  But I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

Unbelievable, that some people think the SSPX hasn't changed. Bishop Fellay has us pegged all right -- we have the old "SSPX" position whereas he has a CONSERVATIVE NOVUS ORDO position.
He doesn't speak about the "Crisis in the Church", "Conciliar Church", etc. which is second nature for any TRADITIONAL Catholic.

Here's your proof, boys and girls. He criticizes the Resistance precisely because we are what the SSPX used to be, and then he proceeds to attack and mock the position.

Does anyone not see this bait & switch?  What happened to "The Resistance is all full of it, they're seeing things that aren't there, people that have given up on their spiritual lives, etc."

No, he has started telling the truth now on this one topic. He hates and is disgusted by HIS OWN FORMER POSITION and sees it LARGE AS LIFE in the Resistance -- and he hates it.

Good observations above. Bp. Fellay does seem to mock those Catholics, or rather Resistance priests, whom he accused of being stuck in the reality of the sufferings of the Church, and thus they have run away. But how can he say such a thing, when the Resistance priests simply adhere to what +ABL believed after he consecrated the four bishops?

I just finished listening to the entire two-and-a-half hour long talk by Bp. Fellay, which I recommend doing, if only to see how Bp. Fellay does not follow the thinking of Archbishop Lefebvre.

Not once in the whole talk does he make any mention at all about the "conciliar church." He makes no distinction at all. How can this be, when +ABL frequently made the distinction? Bp. Fellay keeps mentioning the suffering Church, and equates the suffering church with Our Lord's suffering on the Cross, and that we must not run away from the Cross, or the Church. But he makes a poor analogy, IMO. The Church is currently occupied by Modernists who do not reflect Our Lord in His suffering, which Bp. Fellay says nothing about. It was still Our Lord and God on the Cross, but the men who inhabit Rome do not care about Our Lord on the Cross.

Also, Bp. Fellay explains the history of the SSPX, and he also talks about the problems of the Council. He gives a long explanation of how communism and Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ have infiltrated the Church, but not once does Bp. Fellay say anything about modernism, except when he talks about the 2009 negotiations, when the SSPX accused the Roman side of the negotiation of being modernists. That's it. Nothing else at all about modernism, in a very long talk about the SSPX, the Council, and the state of the SSPX. That in itself is quite disturbing.

Bp. Fellay goes on and on in the last 40 minutes or so about how the faithful cannot reject the Church, and that's why he keeps going back to Rome, because he cannot reject the Church. Well, which church is he talking about? The conciliar church? Or the Catholic Church? It's difficult to say, since he apparently doesn't believe that there's such a thing as a conciliar church, or modernism, due to a lack of referring to them. It's almost like he's telling the faithful to not run away from the SSPX and join up with the Resistance, or with sedes. He doesn't say this outright, but he seems to infer it. He says that God is with the SSPX.

I could write more, but it would be nice to see the views of others who have listened to the whole thing. Not fun, but useful.

Sean Johnson chimes in:
(oops, I posted this in the wrong place. Still, it helps to show the SSPX's new orientation, so I'll leave a copy here.)

Friends-

Fr. Paul Robinson (SSPX) has recently written a book titled "The Realist Guide for Religion and Science," for which some information can be gleaned from this website promoting the book:

https://therealistguide.com/

On the following link, you can read an unbelievable 2-page Foreword, which seems to partially rehabilitate JPII, BXVI, Francis, and the deceased modernist Fr. Stanley Jaki as "moderate realists."

https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/be041786-0638-4702-8262-80efb99dfec3/downloads/1c5r4kp28_40515.pdf

Never mind that John Paul II espoused phenomenology (i.e., Objective truths exist, but human reason cannot access them, only their various manifestations, or "noumena.");

Never mind that BXVI was primarily a Hegelian.

Never mind that Francis (Francis!) is completely a-systemic, and the Foreword quotes him thusly:

"Pope Francis has also affirmed that realities are more important than ideas, and this flows from the doctrine of the Incarnation."

Let that quote, coming from an SSPX-promoted book, sink in: "Realities are more important than ideas."

This is the pollution coming from Bishop Fellay's ralliement: A practical accord (i.e., a reality) is more important than doctrine (i.e., ideas).

SSPX priests are being infected by their Superior General, and Fr. Robinson very obviously wanted to show the Vatican just how open the new SSPX is to conciliarist modernism.

And the deceased Fr. Stanley Jaki (whose organization has written this Foreword for Fr. Robinson)?  

A thorough modernist, for whom science was superior to religion, having made many statements which implicitly deny the possibility of true miracles, such as this one regarding the miracle of the sun at Fatima:

"According to St. Thomas Aquinas a miracle in the strict sense is 'something done outside the order of the entire created universe.' According to Jaki, the fact that the event occurred and still inspires the faithful to this day is the greater miracle."  http://www.catholicstand.com/fr-stanley-jaki-on-the-fatima-miracle/

And in Jaki's introduction to the English-language translation of Abbe Augustin Barruel's masterpiece "Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism" (which Weishaupt's conspiracy against altar, throne, and society), he makes this bewildering statement:

"The teaching of Thomas Aquinas and of Bellarmine, that the people were the ultimate source on earth of political authority and power, was not something that Barruel would fully appreciate." (p. xiv)

Some of you in this email are quite well read on St. Thomas Aquinas, and I should be extremely surprised if he ever taught such a thing!

Nonetheless, these are the people Fr. Robinson wants to promote his book: All of them conciliarist modernists to the man.

Obviously, the neo-SSPX is losing its mind (and its faith).

As time marches on, you can expect much more of this.  It is only natural.

Cardinal Cottier would be quite pleased to see the "progress" Menzingen is making towards conciliarism, as he once counseled regarding Campos: "What is important is that there no longer be rejection in their hearts...we must be patient...gradually, we must expect additional steps, like concelebration...reconciliation carries within itself its own internal dynamism [self-censorship]."

Indeed it does, and Fr. Robinson's book is one more piece of evidence of that "dynamism."
