Transcription of Bishop Williamson's sermon
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost
Dear sirs, the abbots,
Dear ordinand to the diaconate,
Dear faithful,
An ordination to the diaconate, the last step before the priesthood itself. The rite of this ordination ceremony compares the deacon with the Levites of the Old Testament. The Levites belonged to this tribe whose special privilege was the priesthood. Priests and priests, called Levites - in other words, deacons for us - were to belong to this tribe of Levi; all the male members were automatically priests, and those who were preparing for it were already Levites, therefore deacons of the New Testament.
And the ordination rite to the diaconate also says - what was said yesterday in the feast of St. Michael the Archangel - that the deacon enters into struggle and that he will therefore be at the front of this fight between the devil and God for salvation souls. The rite quotes precisely those words of St. Paul to which reference was made yesterday, "For we have not to fight against flesh and blood, but against the princes, against the powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits spread in the air.
[1] In the first moment of their creation, all these angels are perfect, coming out of the hands of God, but as soon as they have the use of the free will of which God has endowed them, they choose to make the revolution against God with Lucifer at their head. So it is they, the fallen demons with Lucifer at their head, who make the world today what it is. In this fight, Satan seems to have conquered - by appearances - he leads the game. I hope many of you have realized how Satan leads the game in society and in today's world! And so Satan can not not hate Christ, can not not want all souls to end up in hell and that's why he works.
So the notion of modern ecuмenism is completely idiotic. Ecuмenism today pretends that this struggle has ended, that man can make the unity of the human race and that we must make the unity of the human race. That we try to make the unity of the human race in Christ so that all souls are saved, okay! But Satan has the exact opposite idea: it is necessary to make the unity of the human race in error, in stupidity, in sin so that the whole world falls into hell and makes members of its infernal reign. Then the ecuмenism of Vatican II, which is still very relevant, intends to unite the human race, but without reference to Christ, that is to say that the unity of men takes precedence over the truth of God. The truth of God, we do not care. The truths of God, the truths revealed by Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Christian revelation, it is not this unity that is targeted by Vatican II. According to Vatican II, all men of all religions, in one way or another, must unite, leaving aside the truth, leaving aside the requirements of the Gospel. All this is simply to unite and so we pretend that there is no fight. Nothing prevents the unity of the human race altogether desired, if not the Christian doctrine which is an obstacle. And so we absolutely refuse the Christian "indoctrination" to which we attribute all the evils of the world. We will say: all wars are religious, are to be attributed to Christ; if Christians did not want war for religion, well, all men could make peace. It's silly of such ideas! Because God, on his side, can no longer love Satan, can no longer agree with Satan, must be opposed to Satan. He could at any time by raising a finger, so to speak, crush Satan, he does not want to do it. God does not want to do it because He wants men to fight to merit Heaven. We must be worthy of Heaven, and by this struggle in which the deacon of this ceremony will engage much more than before by being ordained a deacon.
The unity of men against the truth of God is necessarily the struggle.
But St. Paul says in the same text already quoted yesterday that it is not a struggle in the style of men, but a spiritual struggle because the real adversary is the demon who is a to be completely spiritual, there is no matter in the demon. Since this is a spiritual struggle, it must be managed, led especially by spiritual means. The deacon of today will therefore have to pray and, as the rite also says, will have to watch over his chastity, to keep chastity. It is chastity that allows to see clearly in many things. Men who do not observe, who do not keep chastity, are men more or less confused. So the deacon to see clearly in this spiritual struggle will have to beware of the demon, the flesh and the world, those three eternal enemies of eternal salvation that threaten, who are gripping so many people today, one of three or two of the three or all three. And it is by its own choice that the world is under the power [of demons], the world around us is devoting itself to the devil. He would not need it, he could choose to follow God, he chose instead to follow the devil. The result, we see it all around us, and it gets worse day by day. Here is what faces us, here is what faces the future deacon.
So, my dear friends, let us pray and be able to pray for the ministers of the Church and for the priests, because without the priests, according to the will of God, we can not lead this spiritual struggle. We can not rely on our own strength: it is not enough to be a good man to reach Heaven. It is enough, to be brave towards the neighbors, to try to make friends with everybody, yes, that we can do by our own strength, but the supernatural grace, indispensable for the eternal salvation, does not come from us, not can not come from us, it comes through the Church of Jesus Christ, through the sacraments of Jesus Christ. The good God can always reach souls with his grace, bypassing the sacraments, but it is not normal. It is exceptional that God bypasses his own sacraments because he instituted them precisely to be the means of eternal salvation.
And so, let's be wary of this sentimental mentality that everyone is brave, everyone is good, everyone is sweet, everyone is sincere, everyone has good intentions. This is not true. We see well with the scandals that are now breaking out in the priesthood and up to the summit of the priesthood, including the Holy Father, we see the bad doctrine flouting the doctrine of all time by replacing it with the doctrine of Vatican II and ending up with a terrible immorality. And the men of the Church are right in it! "Corruptio optimi pessima," said the Latins, "the corruption of the best is the worst corruptions. "Pride precedes the fall, they say in English, pride before the fall." To pride oneself on the capacity of men, on the strength of men, on the independence of men, to boast of them is the path of damnation, followed at present by many of the priests at the head of the Church. It is unimaginable, it is inconceivable, but it is none the less real. This is the reality of the situation. Saint Vincent de Paul would have said: "It is easier to make a new priest than to convert an elder". Unfortunately, the poor Fraternity Saint Pius X slips, it may not have quite fallen yet, but it slips; this tribe of new priests made by Archbishop Lefebvre, this tribe is no longer the same. That is why we must strive at our small level, with the means at our disposal, even if they are rather limited, we must strive to make good priests who will be safe and solid in doctrine, and good in morality. And this is what the rite of ordination to the diaconate demands and demands.
So, let's see clearly! The doctrine first. It is for lack of doctrine that one becomes sentimental: intelligence is no longer enlightened, reason is no longer enlightened by faith to raise it above passions and feelings. The intelligence is emptied or paralyzed, mutilated for lack of faith and there remains the feelings ... and the current ecuмenism of Vatican II. For this ecuмenism is sentimental: "I want to be a friend of all men; all men must be my friends! My dear friends, the great number of men chooses to belong to the devil. They choose, do not deceive yourself. Most know what they are doing, in the background of themselves they know what they are doing. If they did not know, how could God judge them at the moment of death? But we will all be judged, according to what we know and men do not admit it, do not want to admit it. But they know they are on their way to hell. Many, anyway. Certainly, there are ignorant in the situation today, especially among the youth because teachers, parents, adults, teachers no longer teach young people the great truths revealed by Christ, the great truths of the Christian revelation. There are young people who have never heard of it, and even in today's schools adults are forbidden to talk about God to young people. We even forbid workers who, without being teachers, work in a school - in the United States, in any case, and this is probably also the case in France - they are forbidden to speak of God to young people. It's satanic, it's nothing less than satanic! A priest like Father Pivert does all he can to attract young people and to teach them, to catechize them, so that they know well and thoroughly their catechism of Christian doctrine.
But the world does not care about doctrine. He calls it indoctrination and what is worse today than indoctrination? It is Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ behind [these attacks] and, behind Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ, many of you know who it is: the bimillennial enemies of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who for two thousand years have challenged, go, fight against the Church; who want to destroy the Church, if only they could. They have striven for it, they have been striving for it for two thousand years, and they have not resigned; they have not become kind, please! These are not the victims, they are the "victimizers", those who are victims of men. In particular, they want to make victims for eternity because they are followers of the devil. The demon did not resign. God did not resign. The agreement between the two is absolutely impossible. From there, the inevitability of struggle and the need to fight! And we come to tell us that the world has changed, that Rome has changed, that Rome is now our friend, I quote, "our new friends," said a certain leader of the Fraternity. "Our new friends", yes of course "new", certainly they were not friends at the beginning of the Fraternity and they have not become friends since in truth. It's an illusion, a sentimental illusion. Feelings in their place, yes, under reason, dominated and led by reason, yes, absolutely. Feelings belong to our human nature. Our Lord cried before the little dead man, the son of the widow of Naim, he cried as he was about to raise Lazarus. Our Lord was full of feelings. "My Father, let this chalice pass if it is possible," but he dominated the feelings: "but if it is not your will, while I drink it. If you want me to drink it, I'll drink it because it's your will. But all my poor nature and all my poor feelings are against, but I must dominate. Our Lord evidently gives us the example of not following the feelings but, if necessary and in case of necessity, to dominate and trample them under his feet.
The world today is frightfully sentimental because it has no more doctrine and so it gets on the road to hell because it has no more doctrine. What is the doctrine revealed by God? This is the story of reality. To brave doctrine, to ignore doctrine, is to ignore reality, to indulge in illusion and stupidity and the great danger of losing one's soul for eternity. This is what is at stake today, it is grandiose since there is the salvation or the damnation of billions and billions of souls. And the Church still seems, the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ, still seems for the moment to be losing. She is losing, apparently. But when Our Lord was on the way to the cross, he seemed to be losing too. Yet has he lost? Oh no ! It is two days, three days in the tomb, but, at that moment, the resurrection! My dear friends, let's not lose faith in the Church. Do not lose faith. Do not lose faith in the Church, in our Lord Jesus Christ, in God, but believe. You do not indulge yourself, if you follow faith, if you put faith in your mind and the will supports and sustains it in intelligence. Well ! you do not indulge in illusion, you are in reality. As our Lord says at the end of the sermon on the mountain: "There you build not on the sand, but on the rock. While all this poor masoned world, which follows the Freemasons, is in the illusion and the dissolution of the doctrine. This is the key point of Masonry. There must be no, it is illicit that there is any doctrine that claims to be infallible. Infallibility of doctrine? No, says Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ. Every man has the right to his own opinion. Freedom, equality, fraternity. Freedom, equality to destroy the Old Regime. Brotherhood to make the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr. Well no ! We follow Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Most Holy Mother! And to protect ourselves, we resort mainly to Our Lady and, in practice, we pray her rosary to her and as we are most sure to follow her divine Son. It is the Son who saves us, but it is his Mother who is the surest way to grip us, to cling to Our Lord and not to lose the good path.
In short, let's pray for the new deacon. He goes into battle, he goes to war. He still has the priesthood, so the war goes on full, but even from the diaconate. You remember how great St Stephen the Deacon was at the beginning of the Church. And St. Lawrence, the famous deacon of Rome, the equivalent of St. Stephen. St. Stephen in Jerusalem, St. Lawrence in Rome, the two deacons, and the two tortured and martyred. Do not be fooled, we are going to torture, it is possible. God is God, He knows what is best for us. If he allows that for us, well! he knows that he will offer us, most certainly, he will offer us all the necessary graces. It will depend on us to accept these graces and to accept all that we suffer because if we go to the point of martyrdom, it is the fastest elevator in Heaven. So, let's have courage. Let us imagine that this situation we are living in is soon a situation of torture and martyrdom as it is already in the communist countries for a century now that the revolution has broken out in Russia. Already a century and immediately terror is imposed by the Communists to dominate the population and put it on the road to hell. Communism did not resign either, but it disguised itself. Instead of resigning, he disguised himself. It is now globalism or globalism. These gentlemen who claim to be very gentle, who want the unity of the human race in their nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr, well! they are fierce enemies of Our Lord Jesus Christ, His holy Mother, and the Church. Let us not deceive ourselves, let us not be fooled by these appearances of peace, by these appearances of good will, of kindness, of friendship. Let us be wary with prudence and intelligence. Not everyone is bad, but many today are bad.
So let's pray for the deacon today and pray every day the string of five mysteries in the families. That adults who are able to pray and find ways to pray fifteen mysteries a day. It is very strong and Our Lady calls us to that. She wants us to pray, pray, pray, pray the rosary, all fifteen mysteries. It is possible more than we think and, as she asked Japan, pray the rosary. Let us pray, of course, for our families, for our country. Yes, for our country! One is not racist by simply loving one's homeland and wanting one's homeland to survive as such and not to be caught by strangers. Here again, this infernal propaganda makes us think that we are racist if we love our homeland. Well no ! Make sure of this racist label. Love your homeland! Not to the exclusion of others, but to serve others as Archbishop Lefebvre, good French, true French, served the whole world with faith and doing all he could for faith. The glory and vocation of France have been faith. May this faith become the glory, the honor, and the future of France, and France will be resurrected, and with faith it will convert foreigners who do not flee from faith. If there are strangers who do not flee, well! among the French who would be converted, they would also be converted. It would be irresistible, the example of all the French together. It's a dream if you want, but at least it's an ideal that must be pursued.
So the rosary but perhaps first for the pope, it is Our Lady who said it and who asks it, for the pope, for the bishops and for the priests. Because faith is the key to the future of the human race and the key to faith is prayer and today - it is the very clear and repeated recommendation of Our Lady - it is the rosary which is the key of faith.
Pray the rosary, my dearest friends, and let us pray during this little ceremony for the deacon, the future deacon who is advancing a great step towards the front of this gigantic war.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. So be it.
