7 Mars 2013 : Communiqué du Supérieur du District de France :
mise au point à propos d'une lettre anonyme

"Une lettre prétendument signée par 37 prêtres du district de France a été publiée il y a quelques jours sur un site anonyme.

Après avoir pris le temps de procéder à des vérifications, nous sommes maintenant en mesure d’affirmer qu’il s’agissait là d’une affabulation.

S’il est malheureusement vrai que quelques prêtres se sont laissés effectivement aller à des menées anonymes et gravement subversives contre l’autorité de la Fraternité, jusqu’à vouloir obtenir la démission de ses Supérieurs, ils ne représentent qu’un très petit nombre.  

Trois d’entre eux ont dû être immédiatement relevés de leur apostolat.

Nous exprimons  notre peine d’autant plus profonde de cette attitude qu’elle ne se fonde sur rien d’objectif (*). Ces prêtres se sont laissés emporter par une méfiance irraisonnée contre l’autorité de la Fraternité lorsque celle-ci ne fait que continuer son rôle de maintien et de défense de la foi dans la grave crise que traverse l’Eglise.  

En ce mois de mars où la Fraternité saint Pie X se consacre à saint Joseph, elle place plus que jamais sa confiance dans l'aide surnaturelle que le patron de la sainte Eglise n'a jamais manqué de lui obtenir.

Quoiqu’il en soit de cette épreuve, la Fraternité continue sereinement son travail apostolique, dans la fidélité à la ligne que lui a donnée S. Exc. Mgr Lefebvre son fondateur, pour tout restaurer dans le Christ.

Abbé Régis de Cacqueray, Supérieur du District de France

(*) les positions inchangées de la Fraternité ont notamment été rappelées par Mgr Fellay lors de la conférence qu'il a donné à Nantes le 1er mars dernier et par mon éditorial de la Lettre aux amis et bienfaiteurs du 3 mars."


Translation into English:

March 7th: Communiqué of the Superior of the District of France : Clarification about an anonymous letter

"A letter, supposedly signed by 37 priests of the district of France was published several days ago on an anonymous website.

After taking the time to check this out, we are able to say that it was just a confabulation.

If this is unfortunately true that a few priests did anonymous and gravely subversive actions against the authority of the Society, so that they could obtain the resignation of their superiors, they represent only a small number [of priests].

Three of them have been immediately relieved of their apostolate.

We express our deep sorrow about this attitude, since it does not rest on nothing objective (*). Those priests have been moved by irrational distrust against the authority of the Society when it [the Society] only continues its role of maintaining and defending the faith in the serious crisis that the Church is going through.

In this month of March, as the Society of Saint Pius X is consecrated to Saint Joseph, it hands its confidence in the supernatural help that the patron of the Holy Church never missed to grant.

However hard this trial is, the Society peacefully continues its apostolical work, in faithfulness to the line that his Excellency Archbishop Lefebvre, its founder, to restore everything in Christ.

Father Régis de Cacqueray, Superior of the District of France

(*) The unchanged positions of the Society have been reminded by Bishop Fellay in the conference he gave in Nantes on the 1st of March and by my editorial of the letter to friends and benefactors of March the 3rd."

What personal comment can I do about this communiqué ? That the authorities can't get away with lies and manipulations. God sounds the hearts of everyone. We don't go far with God when we lie, especially if we are Churchmen: they know that God sees them. I let God judge of this. But I can't trust Society authorities in their internal catastrophic management, maneuvers and manipulations. I have for years now, felt manipulated by the Society authorities. And by praying and talking to God to see the truth, I maintain it. Bishop Fellay, by his last word about the priests and saying not to look for the Internet, is locking his faithful up in his lies and manipulations: I am just so happy to be free of his control and not to do what he says, without feeling guilty : I am not guilty Bishop Fellay. If there is someone guilty, this is rather you. You don't impress me. Though I still go to their mass, since I agree with their last conferences (what they said). Contradictory isn't it ? The problem is: the Church has big problems everywhere and I don't see a better place: the SSPX is the only place where Vatican II is denounced with no compromise (necessary if we are catholics).

I am aware that our judgements have a so little importance. Then, let God make me the right judgement and the right things. In Christ.

Very disappointing on Fr. Cacqueray's part, but not surprising!

Indeed. With the Rothschild-Gutmann money behind the SSPX they are very much compromised.

Is this part of what Father de Cacquery wrote?

4) Has a contageuos disease been released from Menzingen that impairs SSPX superiors from talking straight???

Whilst not a Superior, I had a Society priest initially dismiss me as a child, who had read "internet rumour". When I cited facts the cleric changed his tune and knew I was not going to back down. He stated he would raise matter with his Superior.

I wouldn't get too annoyed. The Society will close ranks. I am not that bothered about the politics of the SSPX. They are not the Catholic Church.

But I can't trust Society authorities in their internal catastrophic management, maneuvers and manipulations. I have for years now, felt manipulated by the Society authorities.

Well stated and how tragic priests have manipulated the laity. Shame on them. I am disgusted a priest would manipulate laity.

Even a priest of the Society I spoke to wanted me to believe I had made up material I read to him. As it was factual information he had no choice but to discuss with his superior. What annoys me is he made me to be a liar or that I had read some rubbish to the internet. The difference between him and I is he is the one wearing the clerical collar.

Are they facing up to the turmoil in their pious union or are they trying to blame others?

There is no point in lay folk getting annoyed and Fr Boyle deemed it best not to get involved in SSPX politics.

Unless a member of the SSPX third order which I wouldn't recommended joining laity are not under the control of the liberal Bishop Bernard Fellay. The third order have limited obedience to him. I had considered becoming involved in the third order but a friend prudently advised me not to join. Good advice.

Just an honest question (not trying to argue here), why would you not recommend joining the Third Order?  

After reading that letter, all I can say is:

Get a shovel and some tall boots!
