Time To Fight;
Excellent ! Perhaps those truly seeking knowledge and enlightenment will study these docs. Most do not realize that the powers that be ( both in the conciliar church and in the SSPX, now in the SSPx-MC), have endeavored mightily to frame the arguments so the faithful only come to their ( SSPX') conclusions. That's what they have been using the retreats for the past forty years-- to ensure that you hear only their arguments, under the veil of silence. Its been quite successful. Even up to the very minute, literally, of the consecrations, priest members were "hoping" and "expecting" an agreement! An agreement with who? An agreement with what church? The Archbishop said those in Rome had placed themselves OUTSIDE the Catholic Church.
Six Bishops of the Orthodox Ukrainian Rite declared, over two years ago, that Ratzinger, of his own actions, statements, and beliefs, had excommunicated himself from the Catholic Church.
But the confusion continues. Father Pfeiffer, in his " Candlemas" sermon this past Sunday, states. quite correctly and quite clearly, that" two thousand years ago ( time of Simeon ), the High "Priests" did not recognize Jesus Christ!" ; " The priests did not recognize Christ"; "Just like the Pope (sic) today does not recognize Jesus Christ!" " The bishops(sic) do not recognize Jesus Christ!"
" They say atheists are going to heaven; they say we can't judge (the sin of) ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity";
"The pope(sic) himself does not think of Christ!"
Father goes on to say that St Augustine wrote, "there is no peace without Christ"-- this is how Simeon, who recognized Christ, was able to then die in peace. Father says, " The priest MUST know this! The man of God must know there is no peace without Christ!" He recalls that St Augustine states "that it is the DUTY of the priest to carry Christ, to express Christ, to preach Christ!"
And we know that Christ, Himself, addressed the heathens and heretics who had taken over the temples, telling them "You do not hear me because you are not of My Father; rather you are of your father, the devil, whose works ye do!"
It is absolutely incomprehensible that 'bishops'(sic) or 'popes'(sic), who do not know Jesus Christ, and know Him not because their father is the devil, who constantly do the works of the devil, NEVER doing the works of Christ-- it is incomprehensible that anyone could consider them bishops or popes of the Catholic Church.
Yet-- that is the position which they are trying to fashion: These people, who do not follow Christ, who do not even know Christ, who do not preach Christ-- these people are our leaders in this church! It is an unbelievable, unsupportable position. Without realizing it, they are allowing the leaders of Rome , and the leaders of the SSPX , to frame the arguments, to stage the discussions, to set the terms. Following them will lead right into the lap of Rome.
However, it's a well established principle, that once something is settled, and has been ruled upon-- it is settled! We don't need to keep re-hashing it until the cows come home. The Church has settled the issue a long time ago of who is a heretic, and of who is excommunicated, ipso facto. That's the reason the (the old ) SSPX said the "so-called" excommunications were invalid and non existent. it was a settled matter of many , many years that an episcopal consecration performed without papal mandate because the consecrators believed the church was in a state of emergency and there was no one functioning as a Catholic pope (as Bp. deCastro Meyer and Abp. Lefebvre believed); that this act was not an excommunicable offense. Long settled!
Its also a settled matter that John XXIII was not Catholic, was a heretic and modernist; that Paul VI, an open communist, was not Catholic; that Wyjtola was not Catholic; that Ratzinger was a heretic; and that this last one is a communistic revolutionary. We don't have to keep going over it. But the resistance wants to stay in the camp of the SSPX, instead of waking up the faithful and letting them be free from the dark ideas of modernism.
Now, those who have recognized that the persons in Rome have left the Catholic Church, and therefore operate without any concern whatsoever of that conciliar organization, are not , themselves, living the Catholic faith. They have, in many, many, cases, become protestant denominations. They are little islands of worshipers, unconnected in any way to the faithful of Jesus Christ throughout the lands. And they, in many cases, eschew any such connection, keeping a close-knit, tightly wrapped group, isolated from any notion of One, Catholic and Apostolic. And here is the rub:
Yes, the SSPX priests, in general, do a better job of bringing people into the SSPX church, which sets them up for going into the conciliar church. They just bring them in with more love or affection for the latin liturgy, and more shallow obedience to their priests, then most Novus Ordinarians have.
The people, however, are starving for truth. I'm not talking about Novus Ordo's. I'm talking about the average, run of the mill Mom and Dad, the wage earners, the office workers, the typical person-- they know something big is wrong! They know something serious is wrong! They are moving from "church" to "church", looking for someone who will give them answers; they don't find the answers, and they move on to the next place. Where is the Catholic Church? Why is it hiding? The Novus Ordinarians have no answers because they have no faith--- most of them, as Father Pfeiffer says, do not know Jesus Christ. The "trads", independent from Ecclesia Dei and the SSPX, have bunkered down years ago, stay within themselves, and have accepted almost no mission to "preach the gospel" to all nations.
And the SSPX-MC? LIsten to Father Voight's sermon for this past Sunday, Candlemas Day. He read the Gospel of John, Our Lord asleep in the boat "We Perish", Our Lord sleeps. "Why do you fear-- oh you of little faith"--- don't you know God is directing everything-- he will fix everything?" This is like the "Adelaide" sermon Bp. Fellay gave on his " World Explanatory Tour" last year. "Yes, it's bad, its disgusting... all these heresies, all these perversions in the Church, all the presbyters attacking boys, all the sacrileges in the liturgy-- but it's just like Our Lord, beaten and bloody and dead-- taken down from the cross and given to His Mother--this is all in God's plan-- He will take care of it all!" These are defeatist messages. These are pacifying messages.
And , look at the latest web site of the resistance group. It's masthead says:"Where we listen to both sides of the story!" But then the body of the 1 st page says "The Internal politics of the SSPX is strictly the domain of the priests members of that Society...." Therefore, YOU faithful have nothing to say! This is a priest's internal political matter ( and I think, therefore, they have already voted with their feet!). And, with respect to "listening to both sides of the story", they say, however," We try to stay away from open and un-moderated forums. They are frequently overrun with SeVacs (Sede Vacantists) and Feenyites. While they may have a right to express their opinions, We don't support those venues here."
So who preaches the gospel " in season and out of season" to those that are searching, and looking, and questioning, and needing salvation? The Moonies, The Dalai Lama, The protestant sects, the fundamentalists, the Mormons, the Moslems. This is what fifty years of this stupid, nefarious in-fighting has wrought. And then we just wring our hands at how bad the world is getting! Woe unto us, friends, who take this faith and just hide it under the rug. Every single group that compromised with the devil has lost--- Every single one of them. Quite a track record!
