#45: Contradiction (Pflugerian Forgetfulness Continued):

In the previous post, we demonstrated that Fr. Pfluger's contention that, "None of us, amongst the superiors, could have imagined in 2006 that...the Pope would declare that the “old Mass” was never abrogated, that it had its place within the Church" was confusing, in light of the Cor Unum #85 (October - 2006), in which Bishop Fellay spoke of an "imminent arrival of a motu proprio which would replace that of 1988 so as to give more freedom to the Mass, an equal right to the new Mass."

But the careful reader may have noticed the use of ellipses (...) in the Fr. Pfluger quote.

What was edited/omitted in my presentation of the Fr. Pfluger quote?

Here is the full quote (with the omitted words bolded):

"None of us, amongst the superiors, could have imagined in 2006 that the Holy See would remove the 1988 decree of excommunications and that by a Motu proprio, the Pope would declare that the “old Mass” was never abrogated, that it had its place within the Church.

Was the phrase in question omitted because, at least as regards the "excommunications," Fr. Pfluger was being accurate?

In 2006, was it true that the superiors of the SSPX had really never seen the revocation of the "excommunications" coming?

Hardly.

On January 31, 2009 Bishop Fellay told the French Monde et Vie:

"I expected it since 2005, after the first letter requesting the lifting of the excommunication which I had sent at the request of Rome itself. Because it is clear that Rome did not ask for this letter in order to refuse to lift the excommunication."

#46: Change (Fr. Fahey Gets Zapped):

In 2009, following in the wake of Bishop Williamson's "h0Ɩ0cαųst interview," the SSPX went into worldwide damage control mode: Many books touching upon the "Jєωιѕн question" were removed from chapel bookstore shelves; SSPX websites were quickly filtered and expurgated for content (particularly for anything authored by Fr. Denis Fahey, who had been the standard bearer for the Kingship of Christ in SSPX circles for decades); and the works of Fr. Denis Fahey in SSPX publishing houses suddenly were "out of stock" (never to be replenished).

Today, were a Catholic to go to the Angelus Press website seeking the magnificent works of Fr. Denis Fahey, they would only find a couple "Out of Stock" notices (as in long out of stock), such as this one:
https://angeluspress.org/collections/vendors?q=Fr.%20Denis%20Fahey

But I could find nothing that was "in stock," even though all of Fr. Fahey's works are readily available from other publishers such as Loreto and elsewhere.
http://loretopubs.org/fr.-denis-fahey-complete-set.html

And were one to scour the SSPX.org articles index for something from Fr. Fahey, they will come up empty. In fact, the only article on the subject of the Jews which I could find there, by any author, was this one:
http://archives.sspx.org/miscellaneous/judaism_and_church_before_and_after_vatican_ii_vennari-1-11-2013/judaism_and_church_before_and_after_vatican_ii_vennari-1-11-2013.htm

(See this link - search for yourself) http://sspx.org/en/articles-index

Broadening my search worldwide, I found another article on (but not by) Fr. Fahey on the SSPX/Asia website, here:
https://www.sspxasia.com/Docuмents/Catholic_Sermons/Fr-Denis-Fahey-and-Vatican-Secret-Society.htm

At the end of this 3rd party biography of Fr. Fahey are recommended three of his books, but there are no links to them, as one might formerly have expected.

And supposing I have missed a book available here, or an article still posted there, the very least that can be said is that the SSPX has severely curtailed its media material regarding the Jews in its quest for canonical "regularization."

It no longer matters that the works of Fr. Denis Fahey expound better than almost any other the full social doctrine of Christ the King, and were (and still are) powerful tools for making converts to Tradition, such as Bishop Salvador Lazo (who explicitly attributed his conversion in part to the works of Fr. Fahey, stating):

"Reading these books gave me a better idea of the crisis and confusion in the Church today. It became clear to me who are the real enemies of the Catholic Church. Fr. Denis Fahey pinpointed them when he wrote: "The enemies of the Catholic Church are three. One invisible, Satan, and two visible:

тαℓмυdic Judaism

That Judaism is the visible chief enemy of the Catholic Church, is evident from the Church history, from words and deeds of individuals, and groups and the teachings of the тαℓмυd of which the Kabalah constitute the basis of Judaism."

http://archives.sspx.org/bishop_salvador_lazo/my_return_to_the_traditional_mass_part_1.htm

But the SSPX realizes Judaism has a tight grip over the Vatican, and the latter cannot accept to "regularize" a group perceived as anti-semitic. So Fr. Fahey had to go.

Moreover, Fr. Fahey's works represent a direct challenge and rejection to Nostrsa Aetate and Dignitatis Humanae at a time when the SSPX is going soft in these areas, as proven by Bishop Fellay's "Conflict Zone" interview with Tim Sebastian, or his earlier cited comments regarding Vatican II's religious liberty being "very limited."

#47: Change (Worldliness):

Sometimes, no words are necessary:

PS: I was going to finish by posting the 2013 pic of the Sanford, FL priests riding roller coasters at an amusement park, but it looks like it was memory-holed as well:

The story was posted on Cathinfo here: https://www.cathinfo.com/sspx-resistance-news/sspx-going-to-mainstream-recreation-parks!/

And the link to the pics was here (but no more): http://sspx.org/chapel_news/sanford_fl_3-8-2013/sanford_fl_3-8-2013.htm

#48: Change (More Worldliness):

“In order never to be guilty of any unedifying act, the priest must regulate his actions, his movements and his habits in harmony with the sublimity of his vocation. He who on the altar almost ceases to be mortal and takes on a divine form, remains always the same, even when he comes down from the holy hill and leaves the temple of the Lord. Wherever he is, wherever he goes, he never ceases to be a priest, and the serious reasons that compel him always to be grave and appropriate accompany him with his dignity everywhere.

“Hence he must have that gravity that will ensure that his words, his bearing, and his way of working arouse love, win authority and excite reverence. For, the very reasons that oblige him to be holy make it a duty for him to show it by his outward acts in order to edify all those with whom he is obliged to come into contact. A composed and dignified exterior is a powerful eloquence which wins souls in a much more efficacious manner than persuasive sermons. Nothing inspires greater confidence than an ecclesiastic who, never forgetting the dignity of his state, demonstrates in every situation that gravity which attracts and wins universal homage.

“If, on the contrary, he forgets the holiness of the sacred character which he bears indelibly impressed and engraved on his soul, and if he fails to show in his outward conduct a gravity superior to that of certain men of the world, then he causes his ministry and religion itself to be despised. For when gravity is wanting in its leaders, the people lose respect and veneration for them.”

-Pope St. Pius X

Recipe for Holiness: St. Pius X and the Priest, (Lumen Christi Press, Houston: 1970), “Dignity and Propriety,” pp. 81-2.

The SSPX goes to Sea World...for Lent (Does the priest furthest to the left look familiar?):

When visitors, and especially priests, come to one of our houses, they have to sense an atmosphere of gaiety, of simplicity, of concord; of firm attachment to the truth, but also goodness, charity, indulgence, openness of heart toward those who come to visit, in order to bring them closer to our Lord.

-Priestly Holiness by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre

#49: Contradiction (On the Use of Satire):

In 2017, some anonymous Romans plastered 200 posters around the city which satirized Pope Francis's war against Tradition, saying:

"Ah, Franky [referring to Pope Francis using a Roman dialect form of Francis which suggests great familiarity], you’ve put Congregations under supervision, removed priests, decapitated the Order of Malta and the Franciscans of the Immaculate and ignored Cardinals… But where in all this is your compassion?”
https://insidethevatican.com/news/newsflash/letter-7-2017-posters-pope/

Indignant, the SSPX lept to the Pope's defense, denouncing the use of satire as an acceptable means of combating the crisis in the Church and Rome:

"And again, we could laugh too - if the subject was not so dramatic, if the person and function of the Pope were not involved, and if all this was not an expression of the chaos in Rome.
Is This a Proper Way to Combat the Crisis in the Church? Further, and as we have touched on before, we cannot support this passive-aggressive and disrespectful method of "correcting" the Sovereign Pontiff.
https://sspx.org/en/news-events/news/satire-new-way-combat-the-crisis

But is it true?

Is satire really an unacceptable means of combating Roman (and papal) modernism?

Archbishop Lefebvre sure didn't think so.

At the time of the Assisi event, the Archbishop personally sent these two satirical cartoons to Pope John Paul II, with the following words:

"Holy Father,

Be so good as to meditate on these two pictures, since you are deaf to the anguished appeals which we have filially addressed to you. Deign at least not to offend gravely and in public against God's First Commandment: the salvation of your soul is at stake! Preach Jesus Christ, as did the Apostles, even at the cost of their lives. That is the fervent and filial wish of those who still remain Catholic.

Marcel Lefebvre,

Bishop Emeritus of Tulle."

(-Williamson, Bishop Richard N. Letters from the Rector, #41 and #42)

Obviously, if the use of satire with regard to the person of the Pope was acceptable to Archbishop Lefebvre, but not to Bishop Fellay, then this is but yet another contradiction between the old SSPX and neo-SSPX.
