Father Rafael Arizaga STATEMENT OSB
(Of the Monastery at Silver City, New Mexico)
Electronic Translation:
Server I declare Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Guadalupe and the Lord our Father San Jose, only willing to live and die for their love. Moved with these provisions writing this public statement to make it clear my reasons for action, which I have not been moved for contempt, or personal interests or others, but for the love of teaching and charity.
My motor action were those words Garrigou Lagrange:
"The Church is intolerant in the beginning because he believes it is tolerant in practice because she loves. The enemies of the Church are tolerant because they believe the principles and are intolerant in practice because they do not love. "
Catholic principles we have received from Archbishop Lefebvre are the engine, the heart, the reason for the SSPX, and the greatest treasure we have inherited from him, and through which we have received in full force and integrity of Catholic religion. The love of this doctrine has led me to trust in the teachings of Bishop Williamson so special. His advice wisely guided me to continue in my beloved Monastery Silver City and encourage loyalty monastic life, knowing that she's the best way to serve the Church in the Benedictine vocation sublime. The intolerance of the principles necessary moved me to lean on Bishop Williamson, while tolerance of charity took me to continue in my beloved Monasterio.Desgraciadamente my superiors decided that this course of action was not possible. On Sunday February 24 I closed my doors to my surprise Monastery. MI crime? Following Bishop Williamson. I do not want to attack me or my Father Monastery spiritual, Rev. Father Cyprian, they are not modernists, they intend to give everything to God and be holy, your generosity is unquestionable. The problem was rather the misunderstanding of what the greatness of the doctrine. The doctrine priority over everything else. Doctrine that is solidly grounded in Bishop Williamson, especially, but not exclusively. This has been demonstrated by the fact that his teachings and his comments Eleison never been refuted. This love of teaching made ​​the condemnation of Bishop Williamson Chairperson being also about me being his friend and his son, was my sin. My search for wisdom through spiritual direction, with no desire to leave my monastery, only to be confirmed in the faith to continue my defense of faith as a soldier of Christ must be, in order to better help Thus my Monastery, was the cause of my expulsion.
Charity asks me not to condemn or SSPX or my Monastery Silver City, only God can judge, I forgive you all for the injustice perpetrated on me. At the same time I beg all those whom I have offended, forgiveness, especially the Reverend Father Cyprian, who never stop loving and who always pray in a special way, hoping and praying that the Divine Providence we reconvenes . I declared enemy of anyone. I plead only intolerant of sin, and enemy of liberal doctrine, sinned against elprimer commandment, since liberalism is blasphemy in action that has infiltrated, no doubt, in various parts of the SSPX.
For charity for my poor soul implore His infinite mercy of God, and all of you, my brothers in faith, fraternal charity appeal for her to pray a lot for your server.
With God's help we will soon open a monastery and now I ask for your help. Receive all Catholics who are intolerant and tolerant doctrine charity.
Yours forever in our Holy Father San Jose.
