    GOOD NEWS

    The first piece of good news is that Queen of Martyrs house in south-east England is being bought these very days. At first the purchase price seemed out of reach, but two telephone calls to a French and an American benefactor promptly raised about two fifths and another quarter respectively of the sum needed, and suddenly the purchase came within range. About another seventh part came from the many benefactors of the St Marcel Initiative, I emptied out several piggy-banks of my own, and finally an Asian benefactor put us over the top.

    Resounding thanks to every one of you that contributed, because the smaller donations are not to be scorned. God does not look only on the amount. Maybe only when he sees enough widows caring enough to pay in their widows’ mites (Lk.XXI, 1-4), does he inspire the benefactors capable of the larger donations. With God, spirit leads matter, and not the other way round. But do please pray for the three benefactors mentioned above, to whom we are all indebted. Especially I think of the house being able to serve as a refuge for priests to visit, as an island of sanity.

    For indeed the second piece of good news is that the betrayal of the Faith by the leaders of the Newsociety of St Pius X is becoming clearer, little by little, to SSPX priests. One by one, some of the best of them are being alienated and then excluded by the Newsociety. It pretends that they are leaving of their own free will, or for purely personal reasons, or that they are being excluded for their disobedience. Never of course will these traitors in SSPX headquarters admit that it is their own treachery which is driving these priests out. Yet one after another they are declaring that their problem with the Newsociety is one of doctrine: the official SSPX docuмents of April 15 and July 14, 2012, and June 27, 2013, demonstrate that the Newsociety leaders are abandoning Archbishop Lefebvre’s glorious fight for the Faith in exchange for a mess of Conciliar pottage.

    Thus in South America a capable and devoted SSPX Prior is refusing a change of post obviously designed to control and silence his opposition to the sell-out by Headquarters, and he writes to his District Superior that his refusal is for purely doctrinal reasons. In Austria a long-suffering and faithful former Prior gives five serious reasons for his departure from the SSPX, and all that the First Assistant finds to reply is that his reasons are “beneath consideration”. In France above all, a group of priests have met together and issued a public declaration of allegiance to the doctrinal stand of Archbishop Lefebvre, and they have placed their priesthoods at the disposal of parents needing education for their children, of young men needing formation for the priesthood and of souls needing the sacraments. It has taken time for the priests in France to begin to react, but the reaction should be all the stronger for the delay. Archbishop Lefebvre was fond of quot ing the French proverb which says that time does not respect anything done without it.

    Have patience, dear readers. God is not in a hurry, nor is he mocked (Gal.VI, 7). If the SSPX misleaders try to console themselves that the priests departing or excluded represent only a small minority of the total of some 500 SSPX priests, how little they understand the power of truth ! They have abandoned it, and it is abandoning them – inexorably. God have mercy on us all.

    Kyrie eleison.

    This might be a first, but here this EC got 5 up-thumbs already but this thread has no replies;  and meanwhile, there is ANOTHER THREAD ~ one that has no copy of this EC - CCCXL, yet does have several posts replying to the content of this EC - CCCXL.  

     :reporter:   :reading:   :furtive:

  • Probably because the subject was made known before the EC, therefore the comments and thread was created before we received the EC.
    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...

    In a sermon from just the other day, Fr. Pfeiffer said that truth has power when it is made known, and falsehood has power when it is kept secret.  




    Here is a list of keywords from this EC:


    Queen of Martyrs house in south-east England ... an island of sanity.


    the Newsociety of St Pius X


    [The Treacherous Newsociety]


    being excluded for their disobedience


    Archbishop Lefebvre’s glorious fight for the Faith


    a mess of Conciliar pottage


    refusal for purely doctrinal reasons


    beneath consideration


    the SSPX misleaders





    Key principles contained herein:


    Never of course will these traitors in SSPX headquarters admit that it is their own treachery which is driving these priests out.



    One after another, they are declaring that their problem with the Newsociety is one of doctrine: the official SSPX docuмents of April 15  [+Fellay's AFD] and July 14, 2012 [The GC Statement], and June 27, 2013 [the SARD - Silver Anniversary Re-Declaration], demonstrate that the Newsociety leaders are abandoning Archbishop Lefebvre’s glorious fight for the Faith in exchange for a mess of Conciliar pottage.



    a change-of-post obviously designed to control and silence his opposition to the sell-out by Headquarters [if this keeps happening like this, we need an abbreviated title for this nefarious and Machiavellian tactic of change-of-post!]



    [Never, of course, will these traitors in SSPX headquarters admit that it is their treacherous arbitrary Machiavellian changes-of-posts are aimed at controlling, and are designed to control and silence, opposition to their sell-out to modernist Rome.  We Need To Develop Our Vocabulary!]



    [pause for commercial break -- recall Fr. Pfeiffer's sermon, above:  Truth has power when it is made known, and falsehood has power when it is kept secret.]



    his refusal [Fr. Rioult's?] is for purely doctrinal reasons



    In Austria a long-suffering and faithful former Prior gives five serious reasons for his departure from the SSPX, and all that the First Assistant finds to reply is that his reasons are “beneath consideration”.  
    [It might be nice, for the record, if someone could post these "5 serious reasons" (in French they would be called, "Les cinq raisons graves."]



    In France above all, a group of priests have met together and issued a public declaration of allegiance to the doctrinal stand of Archbishop Lefebvre



    It has taken time for the priests in France to begin to react, but the reaction should be all the stronger for the delay.



    [A French proverb says that] time does not respect anything done without it.
    [...............and that would be.................????? ---- Temps ne respecte pas tout acte accompli sans lui?]



    God is not in a hurry



    truth is inexorably abandoning the SSPX misleaders



    Truth is inexorably abandoning the SSPX misleaders.



    Truth is inexorably abandoning the SSPX misleaders.

    actually, threads are not "created" -- only God CREATES -- man just makes.



    Therefore, members are posting replies on threads without thinking about where their replies belong, and without any awareness of how readable it's all going to be in the future.  



    It's as though they're posting out of HABIT and without REFLECTION.   :surprised:   How could THAT be POSSIBLE!?!?



    These two threads should be MERGED, but I doubt that's going to happen because it's too time consuming for the moderators.

    There should be a feature for them to press one button, and confirm the action, that merges specified threads automatically.  This IS 2014, after all.

  • I am glad that the Bishop still has big benefactors. I thought they all abandoned him and stayed with Bishop Fellay. God bless them.
    R.I.P.
    Please pray for the repose of my soul.

  • its certaintly something of a miracle, to have succeeded in such a lofty endeavor, in such a short space of time, i confess, i did not think it would be done. then we see, with God, all things are possible.
    i wonder if it has an attic..... there may well be some looking for a place to stay..... :smile:

    Yeah, after he mucks it up the rest of the way and the Newsociety gets subsumed into Newchurch and they send him packing because he's of no more use to them, Bishop Fellay can come, hat in hand, appealing to +W for mercy, and can then go live in the attic.  All English manors have an attic.  It's for insulation, both temperature and tempers --- that is, for relatives in exile.

  •  :dancing-banana:I wouldn't want Bishop Fellay living overhead in my attic!
     St. Francis Xavier threw a Crucifix into the sea, at once calming the waves.  Upon reaching the shore, the Crucifix was returned to him by a crab with a curious cross pattern on its shell.
