Sorry for not posting sooner; internet in my area was down for a while.
I intended to write "rejected". Because one becomes rejected by Our Lord for our unfaithfulness in our love for truth, doctrine. [It is] at the level of doctrine where we win or [lose] the battles for Our Lord. [For] Our Lord said: He who is not ashamed of Me before man, I will not be ashamed of him before My Heavenly Father.
I want to point out that Father Castellani has not been promoted by the SSPX in the last years, more than that, he has been [abandoned], and there is a main reason why it is so.
Father Leonardo Castellani sees not [we would say, "he does not see"] a temporal triumph of the Church between now and the 2nd Coming of Our Lord.
This is a most telling principle. For it was in the time of Our Lord, too,
when the Pharisees and the Sadducees did not want to see a spiritual
triumph of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but a temporal triumph, that they
crucified Him, or, that is, demanded that the Roman soldiers would do
so lest the Jєωs would instigate a riot or 'ιnѕυrrєcтισn.' And
ironically, the man that they allowed to be released instead of Our Lord,
Barabbas, was an ιnѕυrrєcтισnist! (Cf. Mk xv. 7) It was like, "Either you
release the ιnѕυrrєcтισnist and then get ιnѕυrrєcтισn, or else we will raise
an ιnѕυrrєcтισn - but either way, Romans, YOU GET ιnѕυrrєcтισn!"
And so too the Modernist Menzingens, demand of the Society priests,
either you cooperate with our worldliness and therefore with the world,
or else we'll release you from your SSPX prison and then we'll raise
our ιnѕυrrєcтισn in the faith without you!
The Jєωs rejected Our Lord in his day, because they wanted a temporal
kingdom when He had proffered a spiritual kingdom. The SSPX appears
to be doing the same thing today, taking sides with the world, against
the firm principles handed down to them by their own founder, ABL.
The [He] says that nowhere in the Apocalypse [is] there is a mention of a temporal triumph, but on the contrary, [is found there] the warning that even "the saints will be overcome" [cf. Apocalypse xiii. 7]. He rather places that triumph after Our Lord's 2nd Coming, wherein it would fit the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the period of peace which, he says could be short or long, we do not know.
This is an important point. Because the view of the SSPX of a coming triumph, even before the AntiChrist, causes them to be over-optimistic about the whole crisis. Whereas the crisis, according to the Apocalypse, according to reality, and Fr. Castellani, will be [worse and worse] as time passes, ending with the Antichrist. And here [enters] our position in the [Resistance] as very realistic, because we do not see anywhere conversión or revival.
For this reason the SSPX is not promoting the realistic views of Fr. Castellani; she wants to think that a "Spring time" [is] coming over the Church, using the very same words of Bishop Fellay.
When Bishop Fellay talks like
that he is regurgitating the
words of JPII. This is not new. For over 30 years ago now, the
Modernists in apostate Rome have been using this language,
the "New Springtime" in the Church! And what we
have seen is not growth, but decay!
This is a most interesting message, Enoc. I hope you don't mind
repairs of your spelling. I don't mind doing that because it helps
me to read what you're saying. And I do want to understand it.
