Letter from Bishop Fellay to Bishop Williamson

Another blog has run this very topic and this intriguing entry was submitted. Being from the Asia District myself, I find the comments made pretty sound:

B. V. said...

    Dear Maurice Pinay,

    Thank you for posting Bishop Fellay's letter on your website as a form of intervention. I am writing to you from Asia and so as a new expat, I have been able to travel to different SSPX Mass Centers in Asia. I have long been praying about what to do with the SSPX situation here. I find that Bp. Fellay who has long kept the Asian district superior in place for far too long closes his eyes to many many abuses within the SSPX or he has set up the system that way & unchecked. He has wasted so much time caught up in Rome's net instead of focusing on his REAL JOB: being a shepherd to the souls entrusted to him. Recently he has visited the Philippines and last year his assistant visited Asia. They visit but overlook the pathetic situation of MOST of the Mass centers & do NOTHING to make the missions successful apostolates. The Mormons & Protestant sects put the SSPX to shame in this part of the world!!! Visit Asia & you'll see! I am so SICK of poor Asian countries being used by the SSPX as charity cases or as a basket case as a whole. We DON'T need medical missions!!! We need Catechism books, Catholic libraries, Catechetical centers & catechists, and more experienced SSPX priests because Asians are hungry for the TRUE FAITH. We have more than enough medical clinics around for vaccinations & medical care (btw the SSPX medical mission is only once a year in the Philippines & they haven't converted anyone!). When we are sent a good SSPX priest who sees the tragedy & tries to improve it, he is transferred as soon as the district superior senses the improvements & that he cannot make him a yes-man. Hmmmm sounds like the superior general himself huh!

    So here we have a Traditional Catholic Bishop shoved in a hole in England just because he dares question established Zionist "facts". When I went to public high school in Silicon Valley in the states, I couldn't believe I was forced to watch 2 weeks worth of h0Ɩ0cαųst movies for U.S. history class!!! Doesn't that tell you anything??? Bishop Williamson should be allowed to travel & resume his duties as a Catholic Bishop. Preaching is a duty! Before his exile, he actually told my husband that we were better off moving back to Asia because of what was going to happen to the U.S. For that advice alone I am truly grateful! I know that if he traveled here & saw what was going on he would say something & do something about it.

    No! Look at all this chaos & suffering because the Superior General has been in power far too long!!!

    When will SSPX-attending Catholics start thinking for themselves and hold those in authority accountable when they are wrong and abusive??? I've been thrown out of many forums for daring to question the actions of certain priests or a certain district superior. I've personally experienced that you will get their (SSPX) ear if you write a big check but if you're going to question & investigate their operations, you will simply be shut down. So now I'm smarter about donations. I am not discounting the hardworking SSPX priests but I believe the SSPX needs major reform from within and it should start from the top down. If it takes a letter to jump start change or at least a wake up call, so be it!

 I am not going to rebuke B.V.'s statement. I know two priest in Asia that I have known since they were little boys. I also have always been a huge supporter of Fr. Coulter and have read the Asian newsletter for the past 6 years. It is quite obvious the neglect in that Region, but as I said this is not because of the holy priest who had/have been serving the district.
 
 As far as holding those in authority responsible, well that has been happening. The whole, post this statement then it disappears is in fact rebukes. For the laity to rebuke in public hurts the integrity of the SSPX. For nobody to rebuke hurts the integrity of SSPX. So there is a fine line to follow, it is not like they are the newchurch or ever will be.

 It is important for us to remember without the SSPX you would not have what you have had from them. So understanding your frustration, keep in mind that the integrity of the SSPX is very important if there is going to even be a SSPX to "reform". Like that old saying becareful what you ask for or you just might get it, but what if getting it means losing everything (i.e. them realising they are still to thin and pull out of Asia, or even huge break-offs that completely compromise the resources of the SSPX altogether). I just ask everyone to keep this in mind, and pray for the SSPX and all holy religious fighting the good fight.

According to this SSPX priest, a deal will not happen.

My dear brethren

The meeting of the Society’s superiors took place at Albano on 7-8th October as announced in last month’s newsletter, and Bishop Fellay did indeed use this opportunity to discuss the ‘Doctrinal Preamble’ text as received from Cardinal Levada on 14th September.

The first day of the meeting covered three issues: an overview of the contacts with Rome since 1987; a summary of the doctrinal discussions; and an oral exposition of the Doctrinal Preamble docuмent itself.

With regard to the doctrinal talks it was disappointing to note that the Roman commission failed to acknowledge the break between traditional and conciliar teachings. Instead it insisted upon the ‘hermeneutic (interpretation) of continuity,’ stating that the new teachings included and improved the old!

It was interesting to learn that the 14th September meeting had not touched upon the doctrinal talks at all, but rather was dedicated to expounding possible practical solutions for the Society.

So it was perhaps not surprising to learn that the proposed doctrinal basis for any canonical agreement in fact contained all those elements which the Society has consistently rejected, including acceptance of the New Mass and of Vatican II as expressed in the New Catechism. Indeed, the docuмent itself conveys the impression that there is no crisis in the Church...

Hence the stated consensus of those in attendance was that the Doctrinal Preamble was clearly unacceptable and that the time has certainly not come to pursue any practical agreement as long as the doctrinal issues remain outstanding. It also agreed that the Society should continue its work of insisting upon the doctrinal questions in any contacts with the Roman authorities.

In many ways we can see the hand of Providence in this meeting, falling as it did on the Feast of the Holy Rosary, given the clarification of Rome’s persistence in the modern errors, and the consequent necessity of continuing with the fight against modernism through fidelity to Catholic Tradition.

The second day of the meeting was dedicated to its original theme, that of communications and the media.

Sir,
You do not live in this district. Yes, the district does have a glossy newsletter which needs to be filled and those two little boy priests were deported from India earlier this year.
Why shouldn't the laity be critical of priests if there is a need to? There are former faithful in this district who now exchange horror stories of their experiences. People did not challenge Vatican II enough, and see what happened. Talking about "holy priests",  is subjective. A foreign visitor, after attending just one Mass of a priest stationed here, likened him to another St Xavier. Yet, the opinion of a senior Traditionalist, which was shared by others, was that this very priest was " arrogant and uncouth and fit only to serve wild animals!"
