BRAVE PRIESTS
As a number of you will know, Fr Fernando Altamira is a young Argentinian priest of the Society of St Pius X, working in Bogotá, the capital city of Columbia in South America, who several months ago took a clear and public stand against the betrayal of the Faith and of Archbishop Lefebvre’s Society by Bishop Fellay and his team in Menzingen, Switzerland. Walking out of the Society’s Priory to found an alternative parish nearby, Fr Altamira was followed by the large part of his previous parishioners. As I was able to observe in mid-April, he is a pious, intelligent and hard-working priest, popular with the people. For his pains he is being “excluded” from the SSPX.
Anyone who doesn't know about Fr. Fernando Altamira in Bogotá, is really missing out. And if you speak Spanish fluently, you would do well to acquire any of his printed sermons and lectures in Spanish. You will think these things must have been written by St. Teresa of Avila or perhaps St. Ignatius Loyola. But the subject matter is all current events. The words appear to be falling from heaven itself. You won't believe your ears. You'll have to read it again and again, out loud.
He wrote to Bishop Fellay, protesting that his “exclusion” is invalid. He sent a copy of his well-argued protest to a veteran priest of the SSPX who understands too well how the modern world operates to be fooled by Bishop Fellay. Here are Fr Jean-Michel Faure's wise comments:-
Like the great Fr. Girouard says so well, the time has come when an expulsion from +F is a badge of honor, for he only expels the very best of the SSPX priests.
Here are words of Fr. Faure, which +W no doubt wishes that he had written himself, but if he had, he would have received much more hatred and scorn from the Menzingen-denizens. As it is, he merely quotes Fr. Faure, and we are left wondering, will we soon be addressing him by a new title?
“It is obvious that there is a problem in the Society of St Pius X. Liberals took control, and they want to be integrated into the structure of modernist Rome. And, as Fr Pfluger has said, they want to expel all anti-liberals opposed to their Operation ѕυιcιdє. One more proof of the on-going Recognition of the SSPX by Rome is the churches that certain bishops of France offer to Bishop Fellay, for the Requiem Mass of Fr Lagneau, for the Jubilee Mass of Fr Marziac, on various occasions the Basilica of Lourdes, the Confirmations in Corsica, and so on.
Note:

“Secrecy is the mode of operating worthy of a liberal politician who wants to bring his electors around to a goal directly opposed to what he had promised in order to get elected. By a series of ambiguous statements skilfully graded to advance little by little, the politician brings the great majority of his followers to accept the conclusion [that's] opposite to what they were convinced of to begin with. It is Machiavellian deceit, lying and hypocrisy, pure and simple.
I'm glad I'm not the only one convinced that +Fellay's favorite 'spiritual' reading includes not only
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli, but
Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. Now I have been vindicated. I don't have to wonder any more. Maybe he also enjoys Saul Alinsky's
Rules for Radicals, that is, in his spare time.
“For this Superior General the end justifies the means, and to attain that end he does not hesitate to take positions repeatedly condemned by Archbishop Lefebvre. What would the Archbishop say of him and his two Assistants ? That they are idiots, childish, naive and disobedient, that they are making the Society commit ѕυιcιdє and that they are betraying the fight for the Faith. And they are going to hand over to the modernists in Rome the fruits of so much generosity and so many sacrifices made by the faithful.
Memorize his words and be prepared to quote Fr. Faure at the next Fellayite dinner party. Get ready for a food fight. It might do some good.
“The modernists in Rome have never backed down on their demands that we accept the Second Vatican Council and the legitimacy of the New Mass.
“In 1975 the Rector and professors of Écône advised the Archbishop to accept the Council in order to save the Mass, and they ended up rebelling and quitting the Seminary in August of 1977.
“Today the three ringleaders in Menzingen go so far as to accept the legitimacy of the Lutheran Mass.
“As the three of them say, the Society’s reluctance to go along makes us very annoying to our “new friends in Rome”, while to wait for the conversion of Rome is unrealistic, as far as they are concerned.
More sugar-coated pearls of wisdom for your Fellayite friends whose slumber needs to be disturbed.
“For sure and certain God alone can clean up this situation, totally different from the situation of the Church when it was reformed by St Pius V.
“Like the Captain [and his bridge] of the Titanic, Bishop Fellay and his headquarters will bring the Society’s Operation ѕυιcιdє to a successful conclusion.
You can save that one for the cheesecake or the fondue, as you choose.(I think that Wessex is starting to rub off on Fr. Faure!!! HAHAHAHA)
“Blind leaders of the blind. But anyone who is not blind must resist this ѕυιcιdє, and keep the Faith.”
If only the Society had more priests as clear-sighted and courageous as Fr Altamira and Fr Faure !
Kyrie eleison.
When liberals destroy,
how much we need Priests clear in mind,
and brave in word and deed !
Hey, maybe the Resistance could use a bishop or two like these fine priests?
