However, can we associate ourselves with what we usually call the Resistance? It is undeniable that Monsignor Faure received the episcopate from His Excellency Monsignor Williamson.
However, we differ on several points.
- Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre's Declaration of November 21, 1974, is the charter of our resistance, the declaration of fidelity to the positions of the Fraternity and its regulation or application ; however, several priests of the so-called Resistance have distanced themselves from it.
In this declaration of fidelity, Monsignor asked the candidate for the diaconate to commit to three things: to pray publicly for the reigning pope, to quote him in the canon of the Mass ( una cuм papa nostro ...), and finally to accept the liturgy of 1962.
- Archbishop Lefebvre never ordained seminarians without them being integrated into a structure. He did not want to train independent priests.
Several priests or bishops in the Resistance believe they should not follow Monsignor on these points.
What motivates us is not the fight against this or that priestly or religious society, but remaining faithful to the Church of all time. Now, this fidelity, in practice, is realized by following the example and struggle of Archbishop Lefebvre, whom Providence has raised up for us as a guide to remain faithful. Therefore, we will only have credibility to the extent that we are faithful to the thought and legacy of Archbishop Lefebvre, to his struggle.
What the faithful expect from us is that we continue Archbishop Lefebvre's operation of survival.
May Our Lady help us all to be fully faithful to the legacy that Archbishop Lefebvre left us, to his struggle, to his spirit.
