Official Statement


From the last few days, we have watched with singular sadness, siege spanks against the SSPX, by anonymous individuals, that are recognized as members of the so-called resistance. The medium used has been the fantastic devaluation of Una Voce Cuba, which if it was an Achilles' heel for the SSPX, and she was udged who as a Traditional liberal entity for their websites: "Non Possumus" and "SyllabuS Errorum".

Although this event is part of the systematic war that these "entities" have declared to the SSPX. We in justice and charity, and as we fell involved, in that we concern, we want to respond in defense of the SSPX.

What constitutes this attack? Simple ... on a misrepresentation, on the ignorance about the basic of the peculiarities of our ministry on the island, and we will not give details and explain to anyone who does not interested in or does not have authority. But anyway ... for ordinary readers ... Everything is a matter of movies! Plot of cօռspιʀαcιҽs, covert actions, joint partnership, firm concordats of egreements, etc. ... all from A Voce Cuba and the SSPX. My God!
Una Voce Cuba and the SSPX are two very different institutions of the Catholic Church by its nature, charisma, history and purposes: one for faithfull and teh other for priests. What unites us? An identical love Work of Tradition. Also worth remembering that in the past we twinned history and present continues to do in the fight for the protection and preservation of the traditional Mass. Michael Davies, great ideologist and president of A Voce International has been the most ardent supporter of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the SSPX, in his well-known and immortal work.:

• Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre, vol. I - 476pp, Angelus Press
• Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre, vol. II - 393pp, Angelus Press
• Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre, vol. III - 474pp, Angelus Press

Then, just to mention another example, teh Una Voce buildings in Rome, Italy served many times Mons. Lefebvre and Coetus
Internationalis Patrum for meetings ... Being old man Archbishop Econe received with great demonstrations of affection to
delegation of pilgrims from Una Voce France ... And countless examples we could mention ...

Your server, as President of Una Voce Cuba and Director of the Una Voce Informa, and the entire Coetus fidelium Una Voce Cuba, feel a very great admiration and great love for the praiseworthy SSPX, their bishops, superiors, priests, religious, religious, seminarians and faithful. It si not a secret! Is this perhaps sin? Is there any reason for scandal? Can someone judge the deserved admiration or the love? Suddenly, we never imagined that our affection for the SSPX were to annoy someone.

Please excuse us in the so-called resistance are offended by this sincere devotion personal and group, and from demonstrations that have been put out all kinds of conjectures. And I particularly clarified the issue that apparently most concerned about it: SSPX does not raise funds for Una Voce Cuba. If there was some mention about it, it is a mistake or misunderstood. Certainly needed to channel a donation from a bank account in Mexico to Cuba, and therefore Una Voce request help to Fr P. Mouroux, but this help never verified. The text referring to it ventually unusable, went through carelessness or negligence on our part to the pages of the Journal, in view of another future. The evidence supposedly claiming to justify the charge against the SSPX to engage in fundraising for Una Voce Cuba is totally illusory.

By request of the SSPX faithful Cubans visit the island, and this Una Voce
Cuba sees with good eyes and expresses his gratitude Magazine. How not? Do not faithful Cubans are entitled to receive spiritual relief good and holy priests? Is not a good work we have to sustain and maintain? As for the other questions coming, we have to answer to the aforementioned resistance on the particulars of the Society of the Catholic tradition in Cuba, with its particular and unique characteristics, unique in the world.

Please easure yuor words and the caliber of your allegations in its publications ... and the case of Cuba as Christianity suffered as martyrs. You may unwittingly unleash the inner serious consequences for us. Dedicate your battle to evangelize, to save souls, to give glory to God, not to take other people's lives ... defamation and calumny are serious lack of charity. Let's be prudent and consistent with the faith we say we have! What they are doing is wrong. Just move them to the SSPX rancor. Furthermore Una Voce Cuba is not liberal, not judge people who do not know, please.

With the usual affection for all and the promise of our prayers,

Luis Candelario Javier Dieguez.
President of Una Voce Cuba.

Yassier Masuet J. Candelario
Secretary of Una Voce Cuba.

About Una Voce
A Role of Service to the Church

“The International Una Voce Federation has played an important role in supporting the use of the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal in obedience to the directives of the Holy See. For this valuable service I express my gratitude to the members of the Federation and extend my blessing.”

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, speaking to the Una Voce Federation, 25 July 1996

Una Voce (from the Preface of the Most Holy Trinity – with one voice) is an international federation of associations, founded in 1966 in Rome, that now includes national associations in 17 nations on every continent. It is dedicated to ensuring that the Roman Mass codified by St. Pius V is maintained as one of the forms of eucharistic worship which are honored in universal liturgical life, and to restoring the use of Latin, Gregorian Chant, and sacred polyphony in Catholic liturgy. The Una Voce International website provides information about officers and national associations: www.ifuv.org

Members believe that use of Latin in the Mass and Sacraments is a unifying force, needed by the Church in these days of widespread controversy. They believe that using the rites which were the form of Catholic worship for over 1,500 years will preserve the traditional emphasis on the Mass as Sacrifice, with its central teaching of transubstantiation, This, in turn, will help reverse the decline in vocations as altar boys, charged with difficult and meaningful duties, will be imbued from an early age with a sense of the sacred. We Catholics possess a living heritage. We owe a duty to our posterity to transmit it in its fullness, and as a living tradition. This is not only the feeling of Una Voce, it is the teaching of all the postconciliar Popes.

The mission of Una Voce is, and has been since its founding in 1964, the promotion and support of the traditional Latin Mass within the Church, in union with Rome.

Thank you, untitled, this does indeed explain why there is concern with a Una Voce--SSPX connection, though it seems to me inevitable that something like this would come about with any organization devoted to anti-sedevacantism.

Priests of the Society have always been in communication with other priests in their locality. Only the laity were not supposed to fraternise! To me this indicated some looseness or flexibility in the thinking of some Society priests and what was more important to them was the maintenance of traditional liturgy and practice and not the legitimacy of their counterparts after the Council.

And it get better!!!

 SSPX Priest Celebrates Mass in Saint Peter's Basilica

By the gracious permission of the higher direction of the Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican, the faithful of the church of Saint-Martin-des-Gaules, Noisy-le-Grand (Île-de-France) -- who were in Rome for a summer vacation pilgrimage led by Father Michel de Sivry, of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) -- were able to attend a mass at the Altar of Saint Pius X, where the saintly Pope's body reposes.

The Mass in the Vatican Basilica was celebrated on August 9, 2014, during this special centennial year of the dies natalis of Saint Pius X.

I don't care what they say or do not say, the "deal" is done!!!Do not wait for the announcement, it may never come.

The celebrant uses a modernist ornament (is not not a gothic raditional ornament) and not uses the maniple.
There is no altar cards on the altar.
Acolytes are dressed informally and do not touch the bell.
No stock burse of the corporal nor tray of communion (the pall is used in place of this).
The Mass of the Virgin must be celebrated with white ornaments, but these are red.
Many women have no veil.

Our own experience with Una Voce in NJ/NYC area is that they outwardly are adamantly against the SSPX and will advise everyone against attending any of their masses or having any involvement with them.  That being said, they would look at the SSPX longingly as the faithful ones who preserve Tradition.  They are more a political group geared to serving the FSSP priests and NO Latin-liturgy-loving priests and trying to place them in various parishes.  They are NOT representative of the "faithful" they claim to serve.  They maneuver and lobby just like any political group using the "faithful" as a statistic so that they would be taken seriously in Rome.  Their concern for the Mass goes hand in hand with their concern for pursuing their personal status as THE BEARERS OF TRADITION TO THE WORLD.  They calculate everything they do in light of how it will be perceived by the local Bishop or by Rome.

When we started petitioning for the Indult Mass about 14 years ago, we started out as a group of parishioners simply petitioning the Bishop.  Then UV heard of the petition and came in and took over and made it an UV petition to the Diocese.  They did not do any of the groundwork - gathering signatures, preparing the Church, coordinating with priests, setting up the choir, helping families petition for sacraments, etc. Yet when the first TLM was said they took all the credit for it's success, claiming it to be an UV coordinated achievement.  Ask anyone from the parish and they will say "Una who?", yet in many Trad publications, interviews, internet announcements, you would think otherwise.

As for Rorate Coeli - my understanding is that they are part of the unofficial FSSP press corp.

Pax Christi!
