AN UNNOTICED ABANDONMENT OF PRINCIPLES

   Remembering is often a thankless task, and we can cite the wise words of the great Martin Fierro, since now most priests and faithful have forgotten or do not know them:

"Memory is a great gift,
excellent and most meritorious;
and for those who fear that history
may cause them discomfort,
let them know that to forget evils,
is also a way of remembering."

So many do not blush when some severe uncategorical statement arising from a holy intransigence reaches their pure, chaste and burning ears:  that Monsignor Fellay and his top management team have vilely and miserably abandoned their posts.  Such are many District Superiors like Father Trejo, who with arguments (reasons) devoid of any logic or intelligence, dismiss as unbalanced the few priests (including the one now speaking) who have had the courage to tell things as they are, and even give warnings before they are confirmed by the facts.

For many other priests (among them several Priors), everything said with firmness and conclusiveness shows a lack of respect for authority, not comprehending that an unnatural authority, like salt that has lost its savour, is only good to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.  At least this is what the Holy Scriptures say:  "But if the salt should lose its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is no longer fit for anything but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot by men." (Matthew 5:13)

In any case, everything is going according to plan, as Monsignor Fellay states quite clearly, according to successive carefully measured steps that are  not taken suddenly but only after careful consideration (carefully cooked up), so no one should be surprised or shocked by them.  Like the frog who will jump out if thrown alive into boiling broth, but who when put into lukewarm water that seems to be a mild relaxing bath, is then tempted to buy a good bar of soap in order to be all clean and perfumed, in which comfy bath he (the frog) remains until, little by little (relaxed with the heat that puts him to sleep) when he reawakens he finds himself completely drowned in the boiling water and cannot react or jump out of the water, but remains floating in the water that has been heated up for him, sweetly and slowly, until he is completely boiled.  With the frog ready to be eaten.

We remember the famous declaration made by the Superiors of the Fraternity of St. Pius X on July 6, 1988 ( concerning the excommunication latae sententiae of Monsignors Lefebvre, de Castro Mayer and the four bishops they had consecrated on June 30 of the same year in Econe), in their Open Letter to Cardinal Gantin, Prefect of the Congregation of Bishops, who were (dutifully) required to note the parody of excommunication, and wrote to Cardinal Gantin thus:  "Eminence, with the gathering together of the Superior General, Superiors of Districts, Seminaries and Autonomous Houses of the Fraternity of St. Pius X, wish to respectfully express to you the following reflections.  You believe your duty, as indicated in your letter of July 1st last, is to make known your excommunication latae sentenciae of His Excellency Monsignor Marcel Lefebvre, his Excellency Monsignor Antonio de Castro Mayer and the four bishops they have consecrated this past June 30th in Econe. [Now comes the good part.]  You yourself may wish to judge the worth of a declaration that comes from an authority that, in its exercise, breaks with its predecessors through Pius XII, in worship, teachings and the government of the Church."

This declaration seems to have been already cancelled (forgotten), since these words in themselves confirm the verification of a break or schism on the part of the authority that brandished the excommunication, since in its exercise such authority already broke with the Church of all times represented by every Pope through Pius XII (inclusively), thereby themselves producing a schism in worship, doctrine and the government of the Church.

But that is not all that they reproached Cardinal Gantin with, and with him the entire official Roman Curia, who they themselves judged:  from which side was the rupture to be found, when they said to him:  "As for ourselves, we are in full communion with every Pope and every Bishop who has preceded the Second Vatican Council, celebrating exactly the Mass they codified and teaching the Catechism they composed, opposing the errors they condemned many times in their encyclicals and pastoral letters.  You may therefore judge for yourself from which side the rupture comes.  We are extremely saddened by the blindness of spirit and hardening of heart of the Roman authorities."  But this is also not all, as if this were little, since they went on to say with firm and tenacious boldness (something no longer said):  "We never wish to belong to that system that calls itself the Conciliar Church and defines itself according to the Novus Ordo Misae, indifferent ecuмenism and the laicisation of society.  We take no part, nullam partem habemus, with the pantheon of religions in Assisi; our own excommunication by a decree of Your Excellency or by that of some other dicastry would be nothing more than the irrefutable proof thereof."

Ay caramba!  They are speaking as if those others were excommunicated along with the six Bishops, and like this would be the seal of their own orthodoxy, something that is today never thought nor said.  But we continue with the valiant proclamation that is today so often contradicted:  "We ask for nothing better than to be declared ex communione from the adulterous spirit that now spreads through the Church of the past twenty centuries; excluded from impious communion with the unfaithful."  Eureka!  What valiant words of paladins, what Quixotes and defenders of the good, the true  and justice, that is today brilliant by its absence, since so many have become feminised, weak and timid, since today they say that these excommunications are an affront, an ignominy and an obstacle against the apostolate; they close their doors, forcing us to leave this infamous etiquette and leaving themselves to appear like some zoo (which is to say, like animals in zoology), and other such things, all of which is to be found in the Letter of Monsignor Fellay of January 31, 2009.

All of the preceding shows that today there is another view, another vision, another conception among the leadership of the Fraternity, which is to say, that they have been mentally violated and abused by the imperative of the Modernist and Anti-Christian Revolution.  They have gone from being wise virgins to being foolish virgins, although very little virgins, with neither lamp nor light, crazy and stupid, condemning themselves by their madness and imbecilities.

Yes, sirs, they are perjurers!  Once they asked to be excommunicated in a show of solidarity with Monsignor Lefebvre and Monsignor de Castro Mayer and yet today they ask the contrary.  The worst is they publicly and solemnly thank the paternal and kindly attitude of Benedict XVI, recognizing his magnanimous gesture in favour of Tradition, wiping his face clean of the spittle they themselves once put there, including toasting him with champagne, as Father de la Rocque did with supine imbecility, he who was one of the theologians in the doctrinal dialogues with Rome, posing with an enormous bottle of champagne.

All of this is aberrant, denigrating, buffoonery that is good for nothing except for being cast out and trampled on like the salt that has lost its reason for being (its salinity).  In 1988 they valiantly asked to be excommunicated from the adulterous spirit of the New Post-Conciliar Church of the Pantheon of religions in Assisi and today they retreat into the spurious and vile meddling of dialogues in search of fornicating accords with error.  They resemble the Great Whore of Babylon, fornicatress or prostitute who fornicates with the Kings of the Earth, already without valour, integrity and doctrinal purity in order to say, as they have said (in the past) in the aforementioned letter:  "To be publicly associated with the sanction they hurl against the six Catholic Bishops, defenders of the faith in its integrity and its totality, must be for us a distinction of honour and a sign of orthodoxy before the faithful."  This distinction of honour and sign of orthodoxy is today a stain, an infamy, a dishonour, etc.  In fact this glorious stigmata was abandoned by unanimous petition and benevolent acceptance according to the plan of gradual and progressive reinsertion suggested by modernist Rome.  We must not forget it was Cardinal Castrillon-Hoyos who, like a Medusa or siren, so astutely and viperously whispered into the ears of Monsignor Fellay when he said:  "I shall write to the Pope asking him that he lift the excommunications."  (Sermon of Monsignor Fellay at Flavigny on February 2, 2006.)

This makes us recall what was stated in the suppressed passage of the exorcism of Pope Leo XIII:  There where is constituted the blessed Seat of Peter and the Cathedra of the truth for the light of the Gentiles, there shall be put the throne of the abomination in its impiety; for when the Pastor is beaten, they must also annihilate the flock."  This is also what was proclaimed by Our Lady of Salette when she said:  "The Church will be eclipsed" and that "Rome shall lose the faith and be the seat of the Anti-Christ."  This also concurs with what Pope St. Pius X said referring to the mission of the Church and her sacred duty of maintaining on this earth the doctrine of truth and its empire:  "When this doctrine can no longer be kept incorruptible and the empire of truth is no longer possible in this world, then the Son of God shall appear a second time.  But until that last day, we must keep the sacred deposit intact and repeat the glorious declaration of St. Hilary:  "Better to die in this century than to corrupt the chastity of truth."  (Pius X, Jerome Dal-Gal, 1953, p. 107-108).  Moreover we can say, in the same sense:  better to die in this century than corrupt the immaculate virginity of truth.  This is what today and since the pernicious Second Vatican Council constitutes the abomination of desolation in the Sacred Place (the Church), and therefore the Sacred Scriptures speak of the Church reduced to a small flock (pusillus grex) in Saint Luke 12:32.

As we may appreciate in the words of St. Pius X the mysterious obstacle (the katejon) is unveiled and the Anti-Christ must be made manifest.  From his wise words there flows forth, whether a fountain of fresh and pure water, whether the mysterious and famous obstacle, and thereby the empire of truth is maintained by the Church.  Since this is what is revealed in his words.

How far we are from that firm and beautiful proclamation, and how far we are today, when many have fallen so far without noticing or being aware of it!  So great is the pressure and so powerful the seduction.  They have fallen into the depths of the abyss drowning in putrid sludge.  Their own words condemn them.  And if what has been said were not enough, they said back in those days, referring to the faithful:  "They, in effect, have every right to know that their priests who lead them are not in communion with a falsified, evolutionary, Pentecostal and syncretic church (…)"  How far, how far we are from all that!

All of this recalls the words of Porfirio Diaz:  "Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States," and now maintaining the same parallelism, we can say:  Poor Priestly Fraternity St. Pius X, so far from Monsignors Lefebvre and de Castro Mayer (and from those whom they represented with the Sacrosanct Tradition of the Church), and so close, so close to the Apostate Rome of Anti-Christ, on the verge of an agreement.

I end this sad, painful and dramatic history saying with all my heart alongside Martin Fierro:

"Let no one think themselves offended,
since I wish to annoy none;
and if my song finds itself
tending to do this,
this is not to do harm to any man
but for the good of all."
