Did Archbishop Lefebvre soften a bit after the election of JP2?  Yes he did.  He was optimistic that he would be better than Paul VI.  Then things soured again at the time of Assisi, which ultimately led to the consecrations.

This attempt to suppress the reality of the "hard line" days is incredibly disturbing.  Let the Archbishop speak for himself.  He was of course entitled to change his mind, but the truth does not change.  He said what he said at the time.  Let the record stand.  And people are entitled to disagree with him.  It reminds me of Orwell's 1984.  In addition, he delivered most of these in public, and they were meant for public consumption and edification.  While it may be legally permitted, it's not morally acceptable for them to suppress this stuff.  Now, if there things in there contrary to faith and morals, then perhaps there would be reason to suppress them.  Perhaps the SSPX consider these sermons to be scandalous to the faithful, and are judging +Lefebvre ... all the while exploiting him and the devotion people have to him whenever it benefits them.

There is something about X that doesn't smell quite right to me.  I speculate, (as I have before), that X and higher ups in the "Resistance," including, perhaps, even Bp. Williamson himself, have these sermons and "much, much more."  They are well acquainted with these docuмents and know exactly what they contain.  But for one reason or another, these same 'Resistance' folks work actively to suppress the material themselves- out of fear, perhaps, or self-interest.  They could at the very least allude to the sermons from time to time and reveal generally what ABL was saying at the time, and why specifically Fellay & Co. are so hell bent on keeping them out of general circulation.  But that never seems to happen.

Dear Mr. Hollingsworth-

You are very likely going to experience the consequences of your obstinacy and incomprehension.

Do you seriously believe that Menzingen would just sit by while Mr. Kimmage gives away the store on CI??

That Menzingen would sue the family of ABL, menace Avrille, but leave CI unmolested (even though Menzingen monitors CI 24 hours/day)??

I 100% expect Matthew to receive a letter from US District legal counsel within the next 30 days.

When that happens, let us talk again about who/what doesn't "smell right."

This will be my last post until then.

Methinks that X is annoyed that the sermons will not be in the hands of "trusted laymen" because of this.

All the hallmarks of a priest attached to the idea that we must have an organisation in the resistance, or at least is yearning for his days in the SSPX.

Father, (if you a priest) those days are over! The SAJM nor the MCSPX won't undo that.

This is the will of God: loose independent pockets. Don't frustrate it.
