SSPX Bishop Tissier Resoundingly Rejects Fellay's Attempted Sellout to Newrome
and Specifically Calls Ratzinger a "Modernist" (Heretic)
On June 13, 2012, on the very day it was reported that the SSPX's Superior-Dictator Bp. Fellay was meeting with Benedict-Ratzinger in Newrome, the Society's Bishop Tissier de Mallerais released to the press a statement in no uncertain terms that he would have nothing to do with Fellay's sellout. First off, he nails Benedict-Ratzinger's maligned motives for a sellout:
[Ratzinger] ... is a Modernist (heretic). His Programme speech of December 22, 2005, is a profession of that the truths of the faith cange according to the dominant ideas of each era.... His real intention in integrating ourselves
[the SSPX] into the Conciliar orbit can only be to bring us back to Vatican II.
Tissier further rejected the notion of the SSPX's "reinstatement" into the New Order sect:
The word "reinstatement" is wrong. The Society of St. Pius X has never left the Church. It is at the heart of the Church. Where the preaching of the true Faith is, there is the Church. The project of "formalization" of the SSPX leaves me cold. We do not need it, and the Church does not need it.... We would not like to put our light under a bushel by our integration into the Conciliar orb. The status being proposed, a Personal Prelature, similar to that of Opus Dei, is a statute for a state of peace. But now we are in a state of war in the Church. It would be a contradiction to want to "regularize the war".... Archbishop Lefebvre said in 1984: "We will not place ourselves under an authority when that authority has full power to destroy us." And I think that is wisdom.
Tissier then goes on to describe the "defects" of Modernist Rome as: "a liberal sect that has renounced the true Rome of Christ the King, a Rome that was doomed by all the popes until the eve of the [Vatican II] Council." He goes on to warn about the practical consequences of a sellout:
The experiences of groups that have joined the leadership in today's Rome is that all, one after the other, including Campos and the Good Shepherd, have been forced formally to accept the Second Vatican Council. And we know what happened to Bishop Rifan, of Campos, who now sees no objection to celebrating the "New Mass" and forbad his priests to criticize the Council!
Tissier then goes on to denounce the New Order sect, led by Ratzinger, as of the Devil (Beliel):
"What concord hath Christ with Belial? For what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?" (2 Corinthians 6:15), says the Apostle [St. Paul]. This [the New Order] is a new religion that is not Catholic. With this faith we want no compromise, no danger of corruption, even any appearance of reconciliation. And it is this appearance that we would give by our so called "regularization."
