  • From Hollingsworth, the greater.


    September 21, 2013
     Feast of St. Matthew

     OPEN APPEAL TO THE SUPERIORS OF THE SOCIETY OF SAINT PIUS X

     Your Excellency, Bishop Fellay and Society of St. Pius X Superiors,

     In the face of a Pope in the Chair of St. Peter, wielding the sledge-hammer like a second Goliath, dismantling and smashing what is left of the Traditional Teachings of Christ and His Mass, your silence has become alarming and has become a cooperation in extinguishing the Catholic Religion and His True Adoration from the face of the earth.

     The “children” of the Society of St. Pius X have cried out for 40 years in this last hour, led by the most child-like Archbishop Lefebvre, who loved and defended his Father’s honor. The time has come for the “stones” of the street; the most unworthy, unglamorous, despised and the “off-scouring of the world” to cry out. Those of the SSPX Resistance can no longer be silent in the face of the present leadership of the Society, shamefully silent at the most necessary hour! All our letters, appeals, filial rebukes have been returned with silences, monitions and expulsions.

     All of us who were alive under our saintly Founder, Abp. Lefebvre, remember his letters to the priests and faithful, his sermons crying out against the abominations of the Ecuмenical Assisi Meeting, the Pope’s scandals against the True Faith and Our Lord Jesus Christ, the True God! All of us remember hearing these, like a beacon of light in the darkness of the modern apostasy. A voice of the fearless Good Shepherd roaring out, like a second David or Samson, to protect the flock of Christ from the masked wolves inside. These wolves, tearing out the Faith of Tradition and ripping out the hearts of those consecrated to God, with the fatal blows of Religious Liberty, Ecuмenism, Collegiality, the baneful New Mass and all the artful lies to seduce the handful of Traditional Communities into the Conciliar Church.

     The catechism teaches there is a time when silence becomes gravely imprudent, reckless and even cooperates with sin and darkness. That time is now! From the SSPX pulpits, websites, magazines, articles, etc. comes a shameful silence. A silence that uses the “liberty of prudence” as a cloak for malice, a silence equivalent to those passively standing by, while their mother is defiled and violently ravaged by the very ones vowed and ordained to defend Mother Church!

     The reason for this guilty silence is now known to all the world. It is expressed in the General Chapter Statement of July 14, 2012, which was the “Vatican II Revolution” within the last bastion of Catholic Tradition. In it, the Society binds itself to the six Conditions for the canonical normalization. An agreement with whom? With the Conciliar Church! The Archbishop was never silent about the Pope’s scandals and respectfully wrote to him, defied his ecuмenism and sins against the Faith, before the whole world, and even resorted to drawings showing the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II being excluded from the gates of Heaven for leading the world to believe that the gods of the gentiles are not devils, as at Assisi!

     Now, Pope Francis has surpassed his predecessors in scandals against the Faith by the ecuмenical call for prayers for peace from all religions, celebrating the ecuмenical rite in St. Peter’s; by the unheard of scandals of World Youth Day in Brazil; with the shameful dancing of bishops who, like salt that has lost its savor, have become the laughing stock of the world, worthy to be stepped on for betraying the True God. His sweeping statements on atheists, the divorced, the Sodom and Gomorrhites, clerical celibacy, etc., etc., have misled millions of souls into error and, no doubt, sins. Sins that seem “not so bad,” since according to him, even “atheists can go to Heaven,” and “who am I to judge the gαys?”

    Since the new policies of the Society fit the new principles of compromise, now it has lent its hands to abolishing what is left of the True Faith and Adoration of God from the face of the earth, by its shameful silence!

     It is useless to pretend that the seeking a “canonical normalization,” an “agreement,” “recognition,” a “union” with Modernist Rome can be pleasing to God, before Rome’s conversion to Tradition. The six Conditions themselves, betray the clear teaching of our Founder who insisted that we never have to ask permission to preach Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ, Crucified! That we openly preach against Vatican II errors and prelates who attack the Faith, because Christ Himself gave that command to the first Pope and Bishops. Archbishop Lefebvre would shudder with horror at the thought of the Indifferentism subtly expressed in the six Conditions and would absolutely condemn the new policy of silence and expulsion of his priests who speak out, against a false union with the Conciliar Church that is aggressively wrecking the Faith and Mass of All Time.

     Would he approve of your calling the New Mass “legitimate” or “legitimately promulgated” (which is the same thing)?

     Would he approve of all the statements on the Council “not being the cause of errors,” Religious Liberty being “limited,” 95% of the Council acceptable, that the teachings of Vatican II “enlighten” and “deepen” Catholic Tradition?

     Would the Founder approve of your signing the Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012, which undermines everything he fought for to save the Faith?

     Would he approve of the acceptance of the New Code of Canon Law without the clear distinctions he laid down?

     Would he approve of the personal Prelature of the Society that submits to the present Roman authorities, who he called “dishonest men” seeking to remove Christ from society? Have his warnings been forgotten when he said: “With the See of Peter and posts of authority in Rome being occupied by anti-Christs, the destruction of the Kingdom of Our Lord is rapidly being carried out, even in His Mystical Body here below…That is what has brought down upon our heads persecution by the Rome of the anti-Christs. This Rome, Modern and Liberal, is carrying on its work of destruction of the Kingdom of Our Lord, as Assisi and the confirmation of the liberal theses of Vatican II on Religious Liberty prove…” (Abp. Lefebvre, Letter to Future Bishops August 29, 1987).

     Would Abp. Lefebvre even recognize his Society today when its leader says: “Vatican II is no longer in people’s heads,…fewer and fewer believe it”? “We have observed a change of attitude in the Church…towards Tradition,” or “Within the Society some (like Abp. Lefebvre himself!) are making the conciliar errors into ‘super heresies’”…or “the present situation in April 2012 is quite different from that of 1988”? That, having said and signed all these ambiguous statements, compromises and decisions, none of them have yet been rejected or condemned? None of them, neither clearly nor publicly!

     Would Abp. Lefebvre look favorably on the expulsion of a bishop that he himself sent as rector of the Seminary in the USA and being fully aware of his “unpopular views,” chose him personally to be one of his bishops, as well?

     Your Excellency, the grave dangers against the Faith which you have placed the priests and faithful into, by accepting what you yourself condemned 11 years ago, demand a response from your subjects. The Archbishop’s words ring ever true: “It is not the subjects who form superiors, but the superiors who form the subjects.” Now that your position is clearer, as you expressed to the Holy Father, Benedict XVI, “I committed myself,…and I do intend to continue to make every effort to pursue this path in order to arrive at the necessary clarifications, clarifications for the personal Prelature to be carried out,” knowing, moreover, that Rome has not converted back to Tradition, demands the Resistance to your boldness.

     Since Vatican Council II, the Popes had a right to our resistance and disobedience because of dangerous errors on the Faith, so more and more people are seeing that you force us to do the same because of your new direction, acceptance of the legitimacy of the New Mass, New Code, Vatican II in the light of Tradition, etc. This is unheard of in the history of the SSPX!

     Since you are deaf to your sons’ appeals, and fail to condemn your statements and persist to punish any who warn you or the faithful, you oblige the priests of the Resistance all over the world to pick up where you left off. You oblige us to continue the work of Abp. Lefebvre which is nothing other than the work of the Catholic Church, “without bitterness and without compromises.” The words of Our Lady of Quito, Ecuador seem frightfully so true, that “the Church will be full of those who accept compromise,” when we need to be the ones to cry out, fight, combat openly the evils of Conciliar Rome, leading many souls into apostasy and to Hell-fire. The glory of Christ the King demands it! The COMMON GOOD OF THE CHURCH demands it!

     For the love of your soul, your Excellency, please hold an urgent General Chapter. Condemn the new policies and compromises with Vatican II and the New Mass. Return to the stand of Abp. Lefebvre on all the points listed above, resign yourself, and let there be a true son of Abp. Lefebvre to replace you, Fr. Faure, for instance. This alone could save the Society. Otherwise, the work of Tradition will peacefully continue, if it pleases God, in the SSPX Resistance, Marian Corps.

    “If the children will not cry out, the very stones in the street will cry out!”

    The Faith may be compromised and betrayed by men, but
     the True God does not die!
    VIVA CRISTO REY!

    Immaculate Heart of Mary, hasten Thine hour of Victory!

     Sincerely in Christ the King,

     Fr. David Hewko

  • Now Hewky,
    We know of no reports of "stones... crying out".

  • Maybe it is a smart and prudent move to stay silent.

    Seems to me that Pope Francis is increasingly making Conservative Catholics, (who could tolerate Benedict's nuanced approach, always seeing things in a positive light), NERVOUS.  They are having more trouble doing this today with Francis at the helm.  He's clearly a modernist through and through.

    I spoke to some at Mass on Sunday and even the Priest who is a new mass and old mass sayer but conservative, was confused by Francis's latest statements and not really heartened by very much at all, that has happened in this pontificate. If he makes women deacons and then turns one into a Cardinal, the SSPX will double in size overnight, just as the Anglican church destroyed its credibility when it ordained women and then queers.  People have limits.

    Maybe the best strategy is to let thinking conservatives work it out for themselves and start going along to SSPX masses, where they will find many of the hardline elements which would have put them off are staying at home or having mass in a "resistance chapel".  Once they have been going for a few weeks, or months, and find that the SSPX are not as right wing as they thought, they will stay.  Puppy dog close.

    Just a thought.  Silence might be a great strategy while Francis is hanging himself with his own rope.

  • I have a sneaky feeling that Francis is going to do something completely off the wall, which will shock the conservatives and please the progressives and cause the CINOs to lose what vestiges of faith they had left.  We are only a few months into this pontificate and he looks like he has at least another 5 years to go.

    What would Sun Tzu advise in such a circuмstance?

    Interesting thoughts ggreg.

    What to do next ?

    To me, Father Hewko represents one holy, masculine response to the atrocities, both in Rome and Menzingen.

    Once there was a time when the SSPX would stand-up and denounce the Papal clown acts and other horrendous scandals.

    Poor Bp Fellay. He is not the man with the spine to do so.

    There needs to be a formation of Traditional Catholic clergy and men who stand up to it all.

    Surely they will attempt to crush us, but better to die with our boots on, fighting for our Lord

  • I do not understand.
    If the founder of the society wouldn't acquiesce, then why is Bp. Fellay willing to do so?  It is out of line with his superior's wishes, so doesn't that make him automatically disobedient to his superior? I thought being obstinately in opposition to your superior would get you removed from your order.

    How did Fellay end up at the helm??

  • Denouncing them did not have that much effect did it?

    What Pope changed his schedule or ditched some joint prayer meeting or his modernism as a result of the SSPX's denunciation of him?

    JP2 was clowning around his whole pontificate.  B16 brought in the MP but other than that his pontificate was pretty confusing and pretty much went along with the way he had behaved in the previous 20 years.

    Even the SSPX pilgrimage to Rome did not elicit a particular good response.  We have tried complaining and denouncing.  Did not work.  We have tried praying for them and talking to them with no noticeable effect.

    Seems to me the one thing the SSPX hasn't tried is shutting up and saying nothing.

    Of we take Fatima literally then the SSPX is only a lifeboat.  It does not take us to any port.  The honour of saving the Church has been left to Our Lady, according to a matter-o-fact reading of the Fatima messages.

    Our Lady said at Fatima, on July 13th, "Only I can help you." For the purists who want the exact words of Our Lady, She was speaking in the third person, and She spoke about Our Lady of the Rosary, but She had not yet identified Herself as the Lady of the Rosary, and She said, "Only Our Lady of the Rosary can help you."

  • To "shut-up" and go underground ?

    Hmm... I have to think about this.

  • Conservatives are not traditionalists. They compete with progressives and liberals for leadership of the new order. Out goes Ratzinger, in comes Bergoglio; the revolution has further to go and is certainly not looking back.

    In some way, Bp. Fellay is a victim of events. Ratzinger was going to make it easy for him to join the new order conservatives once the Society stopped being hostile. GREC and Krah's neo-con links were preparing the way for a quiet assimilation. However, it was time for Rome's progressives to have their turn and they pulled the plug on convoluted applications. The Society of Bp. F is now trapped. It cannot go forward unless it dumps more of its past; it cannot backtrack much without revealing it was more a political vehicle than a serious trad organisation.

    All in all, forty years have gone down the chute for some people. Others saw the Society's failings and less than convincing stance. The Recusant wisely emphasises ABL's conclusions at the end of his life and has an opportunity to continue in the same vein where he left off. It is very much a salvage operation; the Society can keep its knee-jerk attentiveness when Rome calls; the Resistance can continue the pursuit of a very necessary Catholic mission, independent of conciliar Rome.

  • To say  ' the society has stopped being hostile ' is surely an understatment. I suppose its difficult, to criticise the concilliar church, when they have allowed you to use their ' tables ' for your Mass's. :thinking:
