Author Topic: It's a Huonderful Life! Open Letter to Fr. Jorna, District Superior of the SSPX  (Read 9851 times)

Here is a reply I received from a senior priest of the SSPX, of the 'conservative wing', to whom I expressed my concerns at the time when Bishop Huonder came to live under the roof of the SSPX with the approval of Pope Francis, without any repudiation of the Council or the Conciliar Church, straight from altar girls, as it were, to Tradition:

Bishop Huonder states that his staying with the Society of St. Pius X is only to devote himself to prayer and the traditional Latin Mass. If this is true, then there is no real danger to us. He will obviously not be administering sacraments for us and has been told that if he lives with us, he cannot do so for the Fraternity of St. Peter either. We shall see. I think that Fr. Rousseau is overreacting, and that there is another real reason for his departure. Fr. De Jorna quotes him because the accusation is so obviously over-exaggerated...

Fr Pagliarani has insisted on our opposition to the errors of Vatican II, and the idea of a canonical arrangement without resolution of the doctrinal issues has now been abandoned, as it should have been all along. So we are practically back to the chapter of 2006 statement.

Is there any point getting back in touch with this priest and reminding him of what he said?


Yeah, total B.S.

Like I said in the other thread:

2 Thess 2:10

And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:

[10] "God shall send": That is God shall suffer them to be deceived by lying wonders, and false miracles, in punishment of their not entertaining the love of truth.

Go for it, and maybe tell him also of other cases recently brought to light again in recent threads of trad priests and bishops saying one thing with regards to an accord and those who are trying to obtain one, then years later doing a 180.

Seems like there's a 99% chance it does absolutely no good but if you do, and it's just the 1% he needs, that would be a great victory. 

In the wake of the fallout of 2012, I went on a retreat in Connecticut with +Zendegas and the Dominicans of Avrille.  The oldest Dominican priest (whose name I can't recall) read us an email exchange between he and +Tissier in which +Tissier said he was ready to make a deal.

How sure are we that the email came from +Tissier?

Oh, it would be morally certain alright. The Dominicans and Bishop Tissier were very close.
