Part of the interview:

A modernist pope?

I used the word “modernist;”  I think that it was not understood by everybody.  Perhaps I should have said a modernist in his actions.  Once again, he is not a modernist in the absolute, theoretical sense:  a man who develops a whole coherent system;  that coherence does not exist.  There are lines, for example, the evolutionary line, which is precisely connected with action.  When the pope says that he wants a haziness in doctrine, when doubt is introduced, and not just haziness, but doubt, going so far as to say that even the great leaders of the faith, like Moses, allowed room for doubt….  I know of only one doubt of Moses:  the time when he doubted and struck the rock!  Because of that the Good Lord punished him and he was not able to enter the Promised Land.  Well then!  I do not think that this doubt is to Moses’s credit;  the rest of the time he was rather forceful in his assertions… without a doubt.

It is really surprising, this idea that there must be doubts about everything;  it is very peculiar!  I will not say that this is reminiscent of Descartes, but…  it creates an atmosphere.  And what is really dangerous is that they leave it at that in the newspapers and the media…  He is to some extent the darling of the media, he is well regarded, they praise him, they showcase him, but that does not get to the bottom of the matter.

As the saying goes: "Even the fish would not get in trouble if he kept his mouth shut".

The critical point is... what type of bait is used on the hook.

 :surprised:
Here again is the practical vs. prudent (non)argument.  Action and words reflect the heart and mind.  Faith, or lack of it, doctrine or error, reside in the mind and heart.  How then, can only the actions and words of the pope be called modernist and the man himself be given the benefit of not being wholly modernist?  I do not say he is not pope, but rather, that he is a thoroughly modernist pope whose actions and words must be regarded as representative of his doctrine.  The doctrine Francis espouses is not in accord with Catholic Tradition.  There can be no doubt that Rome has not returned to the Faith.  She remains unconverted, hence dangerous to the souls entrusted to Her care.  It is high time Bishop Fellay faces reality and refuses to dialogue, excuse, explain, or join in any capacity, the SSPX to the " synthesis of all heresies," modernism.  It is high time Bp. Fellay admit he was duped, apologise, make restitution by reinstating those unjustly expelled, formally retract his ambiguous and heretical docuмents, and step down as Superior General.  If he continues on his present course, the SSPX will become just another face in the conservative crowd.  The salvation of H.E.'s soul and that of the souls in his care depend upon it.
