  • Wrote this many weeks ago. Less than a week later we helped one of the faithful priests that came our way. God provides. Although written in a  state of great distress, wondering how to serve God properly, it applies even moreso now than then. I display it again. Let's stop hiding!!!

    Friends,

    Please take out your book "Open letter to confused Catholics" by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and read page 146. Actually pages 129 to the end directly apply to us today but page 146 is particular to what we wish to express.

    There are two semi valid reasons for not making a stand. Reasons that really shouldn't exist for too long. The first being the question how. How do I go about a public resistance? Do I stand on a rock and start preaching? Of course not. This is one of our problems currently. Stand up and walk out when a priest praises Bishop Fellay's errors or his "grace of state" in a sermon? That we will do next time it happens. But is it enough? We want to fight for Our Lady. Her time of victory is very soon. Wouldn't it be great to KNOW we have fought for her?

    The second reason for not standing up is the loneliness of standing up by yourself. We are from a very large parish. This parish, this town is lethargicly (if there is such a word!) quiet. There is no talk of it. It is like a ghost town spiritually with NOBODY willing to be put in the spotlight as a whipping boy. My family and I wouldn't mind but those two things are pulling us back. That along with the fact the devil will single us out for horrible things. But with Our Lady on our side that doesn't bother as much as the first two reasons.

    We live about 5 hours from an "independent" priest. We use to travel exactly that long in our early days of being Traditional. We can do it again. There are ways around unjust censures and expulsions but if it were just us being expelled it wouldn't make as much thunder and it would wake up so few people. As Archbishop Lefebvre said "The truth does not depend on numbers and numbers do not make the Truth." The day and time will come when we finally figure out a way to make our resistance known publicly and then maybe the others will gain courage too. This is what happens when the sheep are without a shepherd.

    We MUST resist! We MUST fight for our Lady! My wife heard a sermon by a priest who refuses to fight because he needs to "obey" his superiors. In the sermon he said he is glad there was no agreement with Rome because of the new Archbishop that doesnt beleive in the virginity of Our Lady. He made it sound like this: "I am glad there was no agreement with Rome because if there was I would have to accept that the virgin Mary is not a perpetual virgin and I really believe the opposite." ..... WHERE IS COMMON SENSE? You Priests need to read "Open Letter to Confused Catholics" Pages 129-136. Page 133: "For it is a master-stroke of Satan to get Catholics to disobey the whole of Tradition in the name of obedience." This poor priest is rather strong on a great many things but he is weak. Very weak indeed when he faces "obedience" Remember, it was this "obedience" that greatly contributed to the success of the infamous "vatican II" (soon to be wiped out by our blessed Mother) and the devil is simply replaying the same trick now. Shouldn't we know better?

    We have written much here. If you are still reading please do let yourselves be known as we will do shortly. I told my wife perhaps we should wait a couple of months as we plan on moving next spring. She looked at me and said "What if it is too late?" What if our Lady will already have claimed the victory by then? We will be left out in the cold. If we still get to heaven we will not be part of that great company that stood up for God and our Lady in the darkest crisis of the Church!

    The only thing we are wary of is being called in to a priest's office. We must refuse to have anything to do with modernist conversations or debates about the current situation because satan is very active with this illusion and we wouldn't want to be infected. Part of a battle is not just the offensive but also the defensive.

    Hence our thoughts we now display on the internet hoping that one day soon we will no longer have to "hide" on the internet feeling like we are accomplishing something of value. Let's all of us who wish to follow our Lady make a stand. You will find there will be no more time for internet opinions. Sure, now we use it because now we are trying to gather the "troops" together. Fight with us for God and His Mother.

    Have suggestions on how to go about eliminating the two "reasons" for not coming out? Post them! Want to fight with us? Let us know! Send a "personal" message. This website is probably being watched but thankfully prayer and sacrifice and standing up for a good cause is not reproachable. At least not in God's "eyes".

    It can still get worse. What will tomorrow's religion be if we do not resist?

    VIVA CHRISTO REY!!

  • I am all for making a stand, when I believe I am doing God’s will.  That being said I think just the ACT of taking a stand can be right timing or wrong timing.  Because we love the Faith we can easily stand at the wrong time, on the basis of our emotional response to what is going on. So I truly believe we need to be people of prayer, prayer, prayer.  I know that sounds a bit trite but if we get out ahead of God in our parishes we may lose our ability to go to mass another day (or days) and actually spend more time in purgatory when God would have had us stay with the sacraments longer, but we had to take our stand and we didn’t wait on Him and His timing. I believe this is what Bishop Williamson has been doing.  Waiting for clarity from God on what He wanted him to do and when.  Nothing is really clear today in the parish I go to.  We have a priest that doesn’t make strong statements on the crisis and is a good priest, so taking a stand seems wrong at this time.  However, if I was in one of the parishes where the priest was brow-beating the congregation about the internet, and criticism of +Fellay I would perhaps already have taken a stand.

    IMO I don’t believe we will be left out if we are praying on a daily basis for wisdom and guidance to be doing God’s will in this situation.  This isn’t black and white.  Like you say it’s quiet in your parish.  That is the way it is in my parish too, but it wasn’t that way in Mexico during the Cristeros’ time.  They were killing priests, hunting down people who had mass in their home, etc.  And during the Vat2 changes they HAD to resist and walk away because the Vatican was changing the sacraments.  I think this is the time for prayer, and waiting unless we have a situation that is definitely something we have to react to.

    Every day we are running out of time. If you can ambush your parish with the Truth then why not??? There are sooooo many martyrs who did not have the benefit of the Blessed Sacrament in their last days. God's grace is not limited to His Blessed Sacrament. More time in purgatory? Wear  your scapular and be faithful to your rosary. There are promises attached. We will win this battle. But the more we've been given (Like the grace to be able to see) the greater the account we must[/b][/u] give! Our Lord did not hide. He spoke openly to all and even told His accusers that He was always speaking openly to all.

    In our present modern world most people believe their opinion is right. I realize this is true everywhere. Even I am guilty of it so many times. But Our Lady asks us to fight for the Faith and so we must.

    You will find Our Lord will not abandon you if you charge over the hill for His honor and glory.

    How in the world do you get that conclusion?

    This has nothing to do with Face Book.

    Or getting an account there.

    Just click the above link.

    It takes you to a free PDF.

    Trads!


    Do you buy gasoline from Petroleum Companies that pay for world wide Abortions and Birth Control?

    They all do. You don't buy gasoline do you?

    Or Food Products sold in Grocery stores, all of which promote ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, Bestiality, and abortion?


    Or manufactured clothing the profits of which support the reduction of people on the planet?

    I've only read 20 pages so far, but so far so good.  (I guess the Malachi Martin haters will disapprove, because he said it sums up 30 years of what he'd been getting at.)
