Indeed. In his sermons and Eleison comments he doesn't attack pope Francis like SSPX, or bishop Fellay. I agree with him about bishop Fellay, but I expected more attacks towards Francis. But instead, he defends Putin... It is evidence how far the errors of communism are spreaded...
I don't see that Bp. Fellay or the SSPX have actually attacked Pope Francis. Not in a real way, anyway, IMO.
Archbishop Lefebvre did speak out about the errors of JP2, especially the false ecuмenism. Bp. Fellay should denounce Pope Francis, but he doesn't.
Putin does have a religious sense, but not a Catholic sense, IMO. Bp. Williamson has said in the past that Russia may become an instrument of chastisement in Europe, based on certain prophesies from saints of the past, though I don't recall the details just now.
Putin is more religious than the average European leader, and he will do whatever it takes to defend his country, even if it means invading other countries. I do recall seeing a lecture by Putin, in which he said that Communism did reflect some values of Christianity. I have to disagree with that. I don't think that Putin has denounced Communism as having spread its errors, and that Communism has been responsible for millions of deaths throughout the world since the Soviet Era.
Anyway, no traditionalist has really confronted Francis like they should. Only some of the Novus Ordo/Indult types in the Conciliar Church have actually confronted him, and even then it's only by writing letters. There needs to be a more concerted effort to confront Francis directly. But no one, it seems, is brave enough to do so.
I think that Archbishop Lefebvre held back the full tide of Modernism, though he wasn't able to stop its advance, of course. What would St. Athanasius do?
