If we're praying that the employer follow through on his job offer, it would be nice for US to also know that we have a gentleman's agreement that we got the job.
In other words, Bishop Fellay should tell us that he's made a secret deal, and we're just praying that it goes through. You know, "transparency".
Any good leader is transparent on things of this nature. Abp Lefebvre certainly was.
In fact, far from sharing this information with us, Bishop Fellay went on record saying there wouldn't be a deal!! How does that show good faith?
Matthew-
I happen to agree with you. But mismanagement does not equal blasphemy.
Pax tecuм,
Sean Johnson
mismanagement? really?
Well, I don't exactly disagree with your OP either. I wouldn't use the word "blasphemy". I don't know what % of Resistance supporters, CI members, etc. would use that term to refer to the latest Rosary Crusade.
But especially in light of his public "backpedaling" statements in late 2013/early 2014, one would have to grant: deceptive, cynical, etc.
And that "judgment" is reached by evidence in the external forum, logic, and the nature of things.
Okay, if you don't like the word, '
blasphemy', (and I don't like the word, "mismanagement,") then maybe you'd like the
vocabulary of the Faithful of Bogota, Columbia, who have publicly voiced their support of their staunchly Traditional, forthright and wise pastor,
Father Fernando Altamira:
doctrinal deviation
secret involvement in subversion
submission to apostate, modernist, blind and erring Rome
this subversive intention is not justified
to achieve 'regularization' they used constant ambiguity:
ambiguity of language
abuse of authority
excessive diplomacy
secrets
political calculations
strange tricks
By way of the Rosary Crusades they:
manipulate the piety of the faithful
manipulate the good will of the faithful, etc.
sowing doubt and confusion among the faithful, and
a total loss of confidence in the superiors
this constitutes a
grave and unprecedented situation in the Society
this
tactic of ambiguityMODERNISM *the synthesis of all heresies* (the Grand Sewer of heresy)
that was introduced into the Church post-Vat.II
is now influencing the decisions of the Society of St. Pius X
the same cunning and brutality used when it occupied Rome (post Vat.II)
false obedience
The battle for the Truth is no longer the priority of the Society leadership
it is no longer the combat of the Society leadership
Priests with unshakable courage to take up this battle are expelled:
through
illegal judgments without sufficiently clear doctrinal answers proving a
liberal contamination in the leadership of the Society
giving rise to interests other than
defense of Faith and
the principles of ABL
The Superior General has gone soft against the errors of Vat.II
demanding a false, illusory obedience
this involves a grave betrayal of the Truth, which is Christ Our Lord
This deviation from the truth puts the battle inside the SSPX
instead of outside where the real enemy SHOULD be
Ancient enemies of the Church are praised and defended
SSPX leaders have ceased denouncing:
the new
heretical doctrines and the
liberals and the
modernist hierarchy who spread them
The action taken against Fr. Altamira is
gravely unjust and
unfounded
LIBERAL DRIFT of the SSPX
SELF-DESTRUCTION of the work of ABL
this is the WORST CRISIS in the HISTORY of the CHURCH
[From TheRecusant #14, Feb. 2014, p. 16-17]:
~ the
doctrinal deviation of the SSPX
~ the SSPX leaders were
secretly involved in efforts to [subvert] the work of ABL
~ [subvert] = to place [it] in submission to
apostate, modernist, blind and erring Rome~ this intention of the SSPX authorities was
not justified before the faithful in
a frank and transparent way~ [to achieve 'regularization' they] made use of a
constant ambiguity of language, abuse of authority, excessive diplomacy, secrets, political calculations and
strange tricks~ like the launching of
Rosary Crusades which manipulate the piety and good will of the faithful, etc.
~ [this] has sown
doubt and
confusion among the Faithful
~ [it has therefore] generated a
total loss of confidence in the superiors~ All of this constitutes a
grave and unprecedented situation in the history of the Society.
~ this
tactic of ambiguity (lead us to believe that)
~ (the same organization the pre-conciliar Magisterium denounced and condemned, the well-known nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr that occupied Rome and)
introduced modernism (the synthesis of all heresies) into the Church, is influencing the decisions of the Society
~ (the same)
cunning and brutality [used when it occupied Rome through Vat.II]
~ trying to destroy the Society by means of
false obedience~ the battle (against the enemies of Truth, in defence of the Faith) is
no longer the combat of the leadership of the Society or its priority
~ [but] priests who have had the courage to remain unshakable in the truth have been expelled
~ (by means of)
illegal judgments ~ (and)
without being given
sufficiently clear doctrinal answers~ (proving a)
liberal contamination (in the leadership of the Society)
~ (giving rise to)
interests other than the defence of Faith (and the principles of ABL)
~ The Superior [General] has
softened the previous position of categorical rejection of Vatican II~ all
obedience regarding the seeking of unity with apostate Rome is
false, illusory, and involves a
grave betrayal of the the Truth which is Christ Our Lord
~ (Because of the)
deviation of the authorities (of the Society) the
battlefield seems today to be
inside the Society and not outside where the real enemy is
~
powerful ancestral enemies of the Church are feared and even praised and defended (while Fr. Altamira is attacked)
~ the
leadership of the SSPX have ceased denouncing and resolutely fighting the new
heretical doctrines and the
liberals and
modernist hierarchy who spread them
~ (We reject) as
gravely unjust and
unfounded (the action taken against Fr. Altamira, his dismissal as Prior of Bogota and his transfer out of Colombia)
~ (Because Fr. A. resists) any change in Catholic doctrine (we follow him in that)
Resistance~ (We reject) the
liberal drift of the SSPX ~ (We are witnessing the)
self-destruction of the work of ABL ~ [this is the]
worst crisis in the history of the Church P.S. The term "mismanagement" falls flat, in context, a LIMP NOODLE.
