On this forum, it has been docuмented how Bp. Fellay has been caught praising different iterations of a hybrid Latin Mass.He even went as far to say that +ABL would have endorsed it too, if he were alive.So, as Bergy continues to trample the Tridentine Mass in all quarters of the Catholic world, why does his campaign ignore criticisms of the SSPX?Could the answer be, that neo-trad SSPX will be the implementation leader of the hybrid mass?Bergoglio & Ratzinger: Allies, not Enemies LinkFrancis & Benedict were allies, not enemies
Since I am addressing this topic, I believe I should say a word about the supposed antagonism between Francis and Benedict regarding the use of the '62 Missal. There is no antagonism: Both Popes wanted to reduce the '62 Missal and the '69 Missal to one single rite in which the New Mass would be said in a more traditional way by all the priests of the Conciliar Church. Benedict was adamant about this intention in one declaration he made that I commented upon years ago in one of my columns entitled
Heading to a Hybrid Mass.
The only difference is that Benedict tried to reach that goal by making a long loop in which he forbade the Missal of St. Pius V, prior to 1945 – which he considered
a dead liturgy – and allowed only the '62 Missal – already contaminated by the same errors of the '69 Missal (

Novus Ordo Mass as well as Vatican II.
Benedict XVI was far, far from being a protector of the Tridentine Mass as many wrongly imagine. His goal was to anesthetize the reactions and gradually bring traditionalists to the New Mass and Vatican II. Since the plan backfired, Francis is now bulldozing the oppositions.
This brutal tactic is bad for us. But let us not try to face one persecution by swallowing the poisoned idea that Pope Ratzinger was favorable to us.
