...If Bishop Williamson and Bishop de Mallerais say that the deal is bad, then I would side with them. My instinct right now is to say that a deal is a bad idea-not in principle, but considering the current circuмstances. However, it may not be. We need more info in order to make a judgment like that.

...It is rash judgment to say that Fellay is a traitor...


 
Well, Mgr Tissier at St Nicolas said:

...So, St. Basil didn't use ambiguous expressions with those who wanted to return to the Church. He demanded that they profess the entire Catholic Faith but using a nice way of saying it. He was prudent, very good, but in professing the true faith. He was not willing to sign ambiguous texts, dear faithful. That's what we must do today. Refuse ambiguous texts, not stop condemning error and correctly professing the Catholic Faith. And when the conciliarists come back, one day, in twenty five years, repenting of the council, when they see the continual catastrophes, the empty seminaries, the churches in ruins, apostasy everywhere, immorality everywhere, they will repent deeply, and when they do, when they begin to come back, full of repentance we can use formulae to help them. But not now; the crisis is in full swing, now we have to be firm and condemn the errors of the council, especially the denial of Christ the King, the refusal of Christ the King. That, dear faithful, is our plan of action. There's no point in deceiving ourselves, there's no way the crisis is almost over, the crisis is far from being over, the fight is going to last a long time and so we need to get organised, to last out and to continue to profess the whole Catholic Faith in full confidence in the power of Our Lord Jesus Christ. All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me, go ye therefore into the whole world, preach the truth, preach the Blessed Trinity, preach Christ the King, preach Christ the Priest, have likewise confidence in my divine Mother who has all graces, who distributes all graces, it's through her that I will triumph over my enemies, it's through her that I will bring the Catholic Faith back to my Church. Have confidence in my Mother, Immaculate Virgin in her Faith, may the Blessed Mother keep our Faith immaculate. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Have you changed your mind yet?

I find it rather telling that now we hear that THE THREE have the doctrinal preamble -- but still, they have not made it public. That tells me they have a reason for not making it public, a reason (since I have faith in their judgment) that is for the good of the Faith and the faithful. They would not have any reason higher than that, for the salvation of souls is the highest law of the Church.

Salus animarum lex ecclesia suprema est
...or something like that.

I'd rather not guess what the specific reason is.


Anyway, since this thread was originally about AQ and a great post there,
you may be interested to know that if Father Pfeiffer were to post comments
on AQ, he would be banned, unless the owner of AQ has changed his tune
over the past decade.

If Pfeiffer's sermons are not allowed on AQ, I would venture to guess that
AQ still marches to the same, old drummer.  

God knows – as does anyone who’s been here more than a day – we’ve done our share of rebelling on AQ. We’ve also had a disproportionate say in extremely crucial events affecting our Church and our fellow man. Our opinions, musings and philosophies have been heeded by authors, priests, bishops, politicians, journalists, district superiors, webmasters and undetermined VIPs at the very seat of the faith in Rome. To whatever degree possible, we’ve played our part (however large or small) in history, and if God wills it, and only if He wills it, we’ll do more of the same in the future.

Seriously??

If there’s any part of “sit down and be quiet” that is unclear, you’re welcome to attach great importance to yourself and stand up and be counted – at which point you will become nothing. At least on AQ.

On the old platform, the mods would “ban” users. On this platform, it’s far less dramatic, or at least seems so. We simply choose “no role for this site” from a drop down box. After which you will – without any drama or fanfare whatsoever –become nothing.

Seriously??
