What His Excellency Bishop Fellay relates is wonderful news, the Tridentine profession of Faith is a magnificent Creed authorized for centuries by Holy Mother Church that eloquently summarizes the essential truths of our Faith.
It WOULD be absolutely
wonderful if it were true. I believe this to be not only a lie, but an impossibility. The Modernists asking the SSPX to take the Tridentine Profession of faith? You can believe it if you want. That was not possible even under BXVI, but Francis? A heretic who claims Luther was right about justification and that Proselytism is a grave poison against ecuмenism and rejects dogma and whose first commandment is ecuмenism? Good luck to you in Rome. The Tridentine Profession of Faith stands in
total opposition to Rome. Have the Romans converted? Have they renounced their heresies?
Marie Auxiliadora, are you aware of the Catholic teaching on the respectful submission owed to Papal Encyclicals and other docuмents of the Authentic Ordinary Magisterium? Bp. Fellay said, "what we call the authentic Magisterium ... it is true per se that we owe respectful submision to magisterial docuмents, an Encyclical for example. It is normal to receive this docuмent respectfully, since it is issued by the supreme authority. In itself the phrase is not shocking, it is even Catholic". What exactly is objectionable in this? I think you've already concluded Bp. Fellay is wrong even before reading what H.E. said.
The "Profession of Faith" that he took could not be the Tridentine Profession of Faith. The only P.F Rome has insisted on as non-negotiable is what +Fellay calls the “profession of Cardinal Ratzinger” where "Abp. Lefebvre had stumbled on a remark by Cardinal Ratzinger that had added something to the usual profession of faith" (of JPII). That "remark" refers to the paragraph:
" Moreover, I adhere with religious submission of will and intellect to the teachings which either the Roman Pontiff or the College of Bishops enunciate when they exercise their authentic Magisterium, even if they do not intend to proclaim these teachings by a definitive act."May I remind YOU, that AMORIS LAETITIA is an act of the "authentic Magisterium" to which " religious submission of will and intellect" is to be given "even if they do not intend to proclaim these teachings by a definitive act."? Who rejects the Ecclesiastical Traditions? Maybe not now, but wait!

And therefore we truly balked at this profession of faith. Well, as it turns out, they no longer demand it of us! They ask us to recite the old one that is called the Tridentine profession of faith of Pie IV. In the docuмent they call it the “profession of the Council Fathers”. Yes, the Council Fathers—in other words, all the bishops gathered at Vatican Council II—made, at the beginning of the first session, a profession of faith that is the traditional profession of faith. Just as the Mass that was celebrated during the Council was the old Mass….
I believe that in "The Docuмent" from the Romans, they
camouflage the “profession of Cardinal Ratzinger” under the name “profession of the Council Fathers”. I think this is an insult from H.E. to the intelligence of faithful and members. Again, you can choose to believe, I don't.
