Beloved in Christ the Lord.
Today's Gospel describes how a great crowd gathered around our Savior, and the Lord Jesus' heart was moved by the thought of hunger—physical hunger, but above all, spiritual hunger. All those who, in search of the truth, had left their homes and come to the desert, having traveled a long, arduous journey. And today we hear from the lips of the Lord Jesus these moving words: "I have compassion on this crowd, for they have been with me for three days now. And they have nothing to eat. I have compassion on this crowd." Words that have resounded through 2,000 years of the history of the Catholic Church, the Church of Christ, as a testimony to God's love for every person who seeks the truth, who is not afraid to set out on a journey toward the true God. Toward God, the One who said of Himself: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Dear faithful, we Catholics, through the sacrament of Holy Baptism, have been—as Saint Paul the Apostle reminds us in today's reading—buried with him in death, Buried with him in death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so too we might walk in newness of life. But we are well aware of this, and the older we get, the more we realize that during our time here in this earthly wilderness, we cannot establish any permanent home. We cannot settle here forever, but at most pitch a tent and stay for a short time. And during this stay in the earthly desert, we feel hunger and need spiritual nourishment, so that we do not falter on our journey toward the true God, toward our Father, who is in heaven.
In today's Gospel, we hear how the worried apostles respond to the Savior: "Where can we find bread in this desert?" They have only seven loaves, but this was more than enough for the Savior to feed and sustain thousands, millions of souls throughout the world. For after all, these seven loaves of bread, which we hear about in today's Gospel, symbolize the seven sacraments of the New and Eternal Covenant, through which God grants us His grace.
Baptism, which washes away our original sin, brings us to life in sanctifying grace. Confirmation, through which we are strengthened by the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost for the spiritual battle. The Most Holy Sacrament, which contains within itself the very Giver of grace, our Lord Jesus Christ, whom we receive in order to become like this divine food. The Sacrament of Penance, which gives us the opportunity to regain the life of grace whenever we commit a mortal sin. The Anointing of the Sick, through which the Lord God prepares a soul afflicted by physical suffering to attain its ultimate goal, that is, eternal life. The priesthood, through which God grants a share in the priesthood of Christ to chosen men, so that they may offer the most holy sacrifice and administer the other sacraments. And finally, the seventh sacrament, marriage, which is essential to ensure the continuation of the human race, to populate the earth and the kingdom of heaven.
Dear faithful, but how terribly dramatic this anxious question of the apostles sounds: "How can anyone in the desert feed people with bread in our times?" in our times, in which it is so difficult for us to find sacraments celebrated validly and with dignity. We must be fully aware that since the sacraments bestow upon us God's grace, the devil hates the sacraments. And the devil and his servants are doing and have done everything they can to abolish the sacraments, to eliminate the most holy sacrifice of the Mass.
You are well aware of what happened in the 1960s and 1970s of the last century. And that is why you are here, because you do not want to participate in a Judaized, Protestantized rite, which was imposed on Catholics after the Second Vatican Council and the second Novus Ordo Missae, about which Cardinals Ottawiani and Bacci wrote in 1969, stating that given the new elements open to various interpretations, hidden or implied in a suggestive manner, both as a whole and in detail, it clearly departs from the Catholic theology of the Holy Mass.
Dear faithful, we are here thanks to the fact that the great son of the Holy Church, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre did not lack the courage to stand up in defense of the Catholic faith and the Catholic Holy Mass. He did not lack the courage to pass on what he himself had received: the grace of the Catholic priesthood. And all those who in recent days have begun to bark like obedient dogs, spitting on his person and his memory—so often hailing from the circles adult circles, should remember that if it weren't for Archbishop Lefebvre, if it weren't for the fact that he consecrated four bishops in 1988, there would be no problem today with the of all time, the Tridentine Mass, because this problem would have been resolved biologically by modernist Rome. Priests who celebrated the Catholic Mass, who had valid ordinations, would simply have died out.
So, my dear friends, we need to devote a few words today to this event, which took place last week—and I am thinking here of the latest episcopal ordinations in the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X, which took place on July 1, July, where once again four bishops were consecrated by Won. For, my dear friends, this festival of malice continues, this festival of vilification. And we must, my dear friends, realize this, because time and again we hear the words "schismatic," "schism," "disobedience," "excommunication." Rome is issuing yet more worthless docuмents signed by Fernandez. What are we really dealing with? Well, my dear friends, with the fury of the devil and his servants. The fury of the devil and his servants, who hate the Holy Mass, hate the Catholic priesthood.
I remember it myself; even today, it has been exactly 9 years. It was a few days after my first Mass in 2017. On July 5, I had the dubious pleasure of meeting a certain Novus Ordo priest, who attacked me, began insulting Archbishop Lefebvre, Bishop Williamson, and me, saying that we are schismatics, that we do not recognize the Pope, and that we are excommunicated. I said, "But Father, aren't you ashamed to use words like 'schismatic'? After all, you are a follower of the Vatican Council, and you preach that all religions are equal. You preach that all religions lead to God. You preach religious freedom, that everyone can believe whatever they want. Aren't you simply ashamed to use a word like 'schismatic'? And he fell silent. And he fell silent.
And my dear friends, once again in these discussions—which are surely taking place somewhere out there and will continue to take place with the lay clergy of the post-Vatican II Church, it is worth making them realize how absurd it sounds when they accuse someone of schism. How absurd all these decrees and little decrees about excommunication sound. After all, for you, salvation is everywhere. After all, the post-conciliar Church proclaims that one can be saved without baptism. One can be saved as a Muslim, a pagan, or a Jew. Everyone will be in heaven anyway. You talk about separated brethren, and suddenly, when the topic of the Mass of all time comes up, that word pops out [snort] schism.
And look, my dear friends, this behavior that we observe from Roman officials—this outrage, this tearing of garments, yet another set of letters from the Roman Lennon Fernandez——a fine duo of heretics and apostates—who weep so bitterly over the tearing of the garment that is the body of Jesus Christ, the mystical body of Jesus Christ, the Holy Church. And somehow it didn't bother them when, in Rome, a woman appeared dressed as the Archbishop of Canterbury, Ms. Mulali from Great Britain. When she assumed office—not an office, but yes, that is how the Archbishop of Kantenbery was presented—it was then that the Roman Lenon addressed a message to her, in which he wrote to the Most Reverend and highly venerable Sarachmulali, Archbishop of Canterbury.
I send Your Reverence my prayerful greetings on the occasion of your assumption of the office of Archbishop of Canterbury. I know that the office to which Your Reverence has been elected is momentous and entails responsibility not only within the Diocese of Kantenbery, but also within the entire Church of England and the Anglican Communion as a whole. I ask the Lord to strengthen Your Grace with the gift of wisdom. I pray that the Holy Ghost will guide you in your ministry to the communities entrusted to you, and that Your Grace may draw inspiration from the example Mary, the Mother of God, and so on, and so on. In closing, with these fraternal, with these fraternal sentiments, I invoke upon Your Reverence the blessings of Almighty God as you take up Your Excellency takes up your momentous duties. And may the Holy Ghost descend upon Your Excellency and make your service to the Lord fruitful.
What nonsense. What Holy Ghost, what reverence. Someone is dressing up as the Archbishop of Canterbury. Someone broke away from the Catholic Church 500 years ago and continues this schism, this heresy, this blasphemy. And today, Leo XV sends his greetings and invokes the Holy in the service of the Lord. Which Lord? And this apostle of Lucifer arrives in Rome, where she is received with honors. She conducts services in so-called Catholic churches, in St. Peter's Basilica, in the Clementine Chapel, located right next to St. Peter's tomb, and bestows blessings, where supposedly Catholics and bishops bow down and humbly receive this blessing from the hands of this impostor, this pompous old woman. The next day, she is received at the Apostolic Palace by Leonard—joint prayers, audiences, courtesies. Where were Leon and Fernandez then, to tell her that she is a schismatic, that she serves the devil, that she leads souls to hell? Where were they then, dear faithful?
We must say this clearly and unequivocally: those who occupy Rome today are not Catholics; they are traitors to Jesus Christ; they are servants of the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr. And who is the schismatic in this situation? Is it those bishops, priests, and faithful who wish to preserve the faith, the Traditional Mass, who wish to believe and pray as the Church has done for 2,000 years? Or those who carried out the coup, who rejected everything the Church has done for 2,000 years and introduced a new religion—the religion of man—with a new Mass rite and a new order of the Mass, which is nothing other than an expression, an outward manifestation of this new, false religion of man. Who here is the schismatic? Who has broken with the Catholic Church? Certainly not Archbishop Marcel Lefr. But those traitors, those abominable traitors, servants of Satan.
And Archbishop Lefer was right when he said that whoever wishes to preserve the faith, whoever wishes to save his soul, must sever all ties with the conciliar church. It was not Archbishop Lefer who coined the term "conciliar church." This term was included in a letter he received in 1975 from Bishop Benelli in Rome, who, on behalf of Paul VI, demanded acceptance of and submission to the teachings of the conciliar church, which is not the Catholic Church, but a counterfeit of it. a wretched counterfeit.
And of course, my dear friends, we must realize there is another problem. While these ordinations were in no way a schismatic act, they were not a break with the Catholic Church, it must nevertheless be clearly stated that the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X committed a grave error. It committed a grave error—or rather, two errors.
First, my dear friends, we must remember that the highest law of the Church is salus animarum, the salvation of souls. And this necessity, to which the traditionalist bishops refer, poses a threat to the salvation of souls. This threat can be of two kinds. The preaching of heresy, erroneous teaching, or a threat to the validity of the sacraments. These two situations justify the consecration of bishops and the ordination of priests contrary to the provisions of canon law. Inter Arma Silent Leges. In times of war, the laws fall silent. So says one of the principles of Roman law. The provisions intended for peacetime cannot be applied during war. The law cannot become an instrument for killing the Church, for killing souls. The law is servile in nature.
So, my dear friends, the problem is that the Society of Saint Pius X is more interested in *salus fraternitatis*, the survival and continuity of the Society, than in the salvation of souls. In this entire argument, there has been no reference to the essence of the problem, to the threat—the mortal threat—that the new, false, post-conciliar religion and the questionable sacraments introduced after the Second Vatican Council pose to souls.
second. Without addressing this fundamental problem, one cannot justifiably invoke necessity. Necessity does not lie in the interests of this or that congregation, nor in the desire of this or that fraternity to have its own bishops. What is at stake, my dear friends, is necessity from the standpoint of the interests of the entire Church.
And the second mistake committed by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X is that its superiors agreed to sit down at the table with someone like Cardinal Fernandez. How can one sit down at the table with an apostate and discuss with him the future of the Catholic congregation, the future of the Catholic Church? What can one expect from a servant of the devil? What kind of candidates could such a man approve? Well, certainly not Catholics. Certainly not Catholics.
And may God grant that the leadership of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X recognize these two errors and decide to make amends, to strike their chests, and to apologize for the fact that for over 20 years they have engaged in ecuмenical dialogue with modernist impostors, which was essentially a trap, a trap into which the Society has fallen.
Dear faithful, how relevant the simple and clear words of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre remain today. So different from the ambiguous platitudes we hear from the lips of post-conciliar clergy. For Catholics, it is impossible—for psychological, pastoral, and theological reasons—to abandon the liturgy, which has always been a true expression of the faith that nourishes their piety and to accept in its place new rites conceived by heretics without exposing that faith to very serious danger. One cannot endlessly imitate Protestantism without becoming a Protestant. The intention was to bring about a rapprochement between Catholics and Protestants, but it is clear that it is rather the Catholics who are becoming Protestants than the other way around. The new Mass itself embodies a Protestant concept and leads to Protestantism. It is precisely for this reason that we see no possibility of celebrating it in our seminaries.
My dear ones, we are [sigh] witnesses to an incredible attack by the devil on the Catholic Church, to which Christ Himself entrusted the mission of sanctifying souls. The devil desires nothing more than to deprive people of access to the sacraments validly and dignifiedly administered. For he knows perfectly well that a person surrounded by enemies, attacked on all sides by evil, can very quickly and easily give in, lose their spiritual strength, stray from the path leading to heaven, and fall into his clutches. That is why we must constantly pray for salvation, for the coming of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of the Most Holy Virgin Mary.
We do not know what other nightmares the modernist clique occupying Rome today will bring upon us. But one thing is certain: God will not endlessly tolerate post-conciliar sacrileges, heresies, and blasphemies, which strike at His most holy majesty. And let us recall, my dear friends, the words outlined by Pope Leo X in the exorcism he wrote at the end of the 19th century. veritum constitutomatis pastore where the See of Blessed Peter and the Chair of Truth were established for the enlightenment of the peoples There they have established the throne of abomination and their godlessness, so that by striking the shepherd they might scatter the sheep. These words of Leo XI are prophetic words.
There, where Catholics should expect light, teaching, true teaching. There, where they should expect to receive spiritual sustenance, spiritual nourishment—there today lies the abomination of desolation, the abomination of abominations. There, Lucifer's throne is prepared.
And Archbishop Lefebvre is right to say that if he was punished, if penalties were imposed on him by the conciliar church, if he was suspended, excommunicated by the conciliar church, then this is the greatest proof that he is a Catholic. And indeed, he wanted nothing to do with the conciliar Church, with the false Church, with the false Mass.
We, too, my dear friends, are here because we wish to remain faithful to Jesus Christ; we wish to remain faithful to His Church. We are here because we do not want to be schismatics, who cut themselves off from the Catholic Church. We are here because we wish to remain Catholics until our last breath. In this faith we wish to die, and may it so be, with the help of God's grace. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
