Quote from: Quo Vadis Petre
You should use those words against those pro-+Fellay supporters and +Fellay himself who regularly denigrate +Williamson ("like uranium," "has Alzheimer's disease," mentally not there, etc.) and the SSPX-resistance priests.

They will indeed have to answer for their words and their thoughts. No doubt about it. They are not exempt.

QVP was talking about the quip, below, but I didn't want to post it twice....

Quote from: Cronier
My point still stands as before:

At the forefront of our minds we should say to ourselves, "Were I to die at this very moment would I die in the state of grace?" If we harbor ill will toward anyone we most certainly are not in the state of grace. How much more does this apply if we harbor anger, ill-will toward a priest and/or bishop? Many traditional examinations of consciences list the deriding of a priest, religious, or bishop as a sin against the 4th commandant. It is also most assuredly a sacrilege because these men are consecrated to God.

Please, everyone, let us all keep death in mind so that we can keep from sinning, in word, thought or deed.

It disturbs me that you appear to be equating ill will

with expressing alarm at Menzingen heading in a bad

direction. You seem genuinely concerned that

someone will die in a state of preferring to defend the

Faith over preferring to practice false obedience.

That's a really good reply, MiserereMeiDeus. But I'd like to know how you
were able to understand who the "4th COMMANDANT" might be.

Maybe I've seen too many Hogan's Heroes episodes.

I hope that those who are so critical of the SSPX priests and its leadership are not hypocrites who attend their Masses and receive their sacraments. In other words, do you use the priests you so disdain as sacramental vending machines while anonymously trashing them in a public forum?

Who is responsible for all this mess in the SSPX ? Do you really think this is the faithful, legitimally scandalized by the attitudes of the authorities ?

The authorities are responsible for this mess and no-one else. Honesty leads to this conclusion.

Regards.

Interesting! This from a district superior, representative of an organization, declared by the pope himself not to have canonical recognition from Rome, or to be able to offer licitly the Sacraments of the Church licitly. The priestly ministers of sspx do not have valid Sacraments, according to the Holy See. So if we who have broken away from sspx are "protestants," or "protestanters," (everyone chuckle), then that protestant rebellion began 40 years before anything called "The Resistance" ever surfaced.
Poor Fr. R. He's a plastic, battery-powered priest, operated remotely from Menzingen. Please, Fr. R., go home! :shocked:

LOL! Maybe it's because I've been a professional proofreader and copy editor. I automatically assumed that the writer meant 4th Commandment, which applies to honoring not just one's earthly (i. e., biological) parents, but "Father" priest and bishop as well.

And of course, I did not mean to discount the sinfulness of bearing animosity toward even the vilest of sinners. Hate the sin, not the sinner, an' a' that.

Once given, a gift is. no longer in the power of the giver. Is banishment from the chapel you built and financed charitable? No. Has there been a gross miscarriage of justice? Yes. Did not Our Lord suffer likewise? How numerous are the saints who passed from this world banished from the orders: or foundations of their making! Don't complain; rather, rejoice to be found worthy of suffering for Christ! You are amidst saints. (Or is it your priority to be vindicated by man?). Readers, please grant one another benefit of doubt and room to change mind. "The greatest of these is CHARITY.". St. Paul, I Cor. ch. xiii
