    So this does not go un-noticed.

    When Bishop Fellay put together and signed the official SSPX Doctrinal Declaration on April 15, 2012, on behalf of all of the SSPX Priests and Members (SSPX Brothers, SSPX Sisters, SSPX Oblates, and Third Order members), and he had delivered it to the Pope, Bishop Fellay, and [all] of the SSPX, have made a professed statement, that:

    In that signed Legal Docuмent -a doctrinal declaration- for all the world to see, according to the SSPX, when Bishop Fellay had “legitimized” the Novus Ordo mass, they have effectively endorsed Pope Benedict’s XVI Moto Proprio, stating that the Novus Ordo mass is the PRIMARY and “ordinary” rite of mass; that is, the “official” rite of mass of the Catholic Church; and the Tridentine Latin Mass of the Saints is “extra-ordinary” –it is SECONDARY to the Catholic Church!

    This is a very grave theological error that has huge consequences…

    So it shows in this overall crisis in the Church from Vatican II, and its [demonic] errors, it had shown to even seep in, unguarded, like had happened to Campos, FSSP, Redemptorists, and others, which had caused the Leaders of the SSPX, and many priests with them by consent, omission, or by apathy, a height of betrayal and liberalism displayed in that -Doctrinal declaration- which goes deep, as it had done to the rest of the Church, working its way into their doctrine, concept, spirituality, ecclesiology, phycology, philosophy, and function; now it is in their fabric and creeping to their roots when they want to “change” with a different meaning of their founder, Archbishop Lefebvre, of what he had stated to them and to the world; to where the new-SSPX now punishes, disciplines, and expels any Member within its order who do not consent to this “new Doctrine”; along with using the Sacraments of the Church as a “weapon” against the faithful who do not agree with their new orientation –an orientation that is contrary and foreign to Archbishop Lefebvre!

    So when the neo-SSPX and the neo-SSPX faithful what to parrot Menzingen’s new slogan to "save face": “There isn’t a deal yet; so there is no problem”. –Beware!  The Doctrinal declaration was truly a signed and planned “Legal” Docuмent that was DESIRED to be agreed upon!  It was kept in secret from its Members to see for 1-year; even denied of it's existence; until forced out into the open!  Bishop Fellay had also stated that he was surprised and disappointed that his (scandalous) Doctrinal declaration was not accepted!  Bishop Fellay also stated and hoped that Pope Benedict XVI would still “do something” to “reconcile” them into the conciliar fold before he “retired” form being a Pope!

    So there is no illusion, Bishop Fellay believed and DESIRED everything in his (scandalous) Doctrinal declaration was to be accepted and signed by conciliar Rome; especially, with him "legitimizing" the Novus Ordo mass, is the big "elephant" in the room!

    Absolutely!  Ausgezeichnet!

    One more of the many consequences that should not be overlooked is,
    that the one additional word "legitimately" added to the text from 1988
    that ABL signed and then rescinded his signature on it the following day,
    is that that one word, "legitimately" (which modifies "promulgated")
    means that not one of us has any right to the TLM at any independent
    or SSPX chapel, or otherwise than the Indultery Mass or the FSSP or the
    ICK or even the NovusOrdoNewmass.  One word demolishes the entire
    existence of the state of necessity.  And therefore, to say that this text
    is "the same as what ABL signed in 1988" (which Fr. Rostand, Fr.
    Laisney, Fr. Couture, et. al. have been saying for the past two months
    since the AFD was LEAKED -- OH, why didn't +Fellay want it published?
    Well, now we know -- he had a lot to HIDE in it, didn't he!!) is a LIE.

    PARROT is right!  . . . . (Sorry, E-R I just ran out of German words. HAHAHA)

    I am so glad you're putting your finger on this monster.  I have faced it
    squarely and it is indeed a MONSTER!  The Accordistas have been so
    THOROUGHLY BRIAINWASHED that it's not FUNNY.  

    How could this have happened?  Your grandchildren will ask you one day,
    if you live that long GOD WILLING.  So sit up, pay attention, and learn,
    because these are the days when it's happening!!

    The Accordistas look at you and say that "you are so hateful" for taking
    notice of what the Menzingen-denizens are doing.  You have no right to
    even THINK about what they forbid you to think about.  You do not know
    the EVIL that you do!!  Shame, shame, shame.

    They refuse to see the most obvious things, because they have been
    MIND-NUMBED.  How does one man in Switzerland effect the mind-
    numbing of the majority of the world's pew-sitters -- and not only them
    but their friends who only RARELY assist at SSPX chapel Mass and/or
    functions?  How does that happen?  

    They have been trained like parrots, to repeat what they are told, and
    they have been trained very well, very well indeed.  And NOT A FEW of
    them have never had any personal lessons.  It is mind-boggling, the
    scope of this thing, this MONSTER.   It is truly DIABOLICAL.

    The Doctrinal declaration was truly a signed and planned “Legal” Docuмent that was DESIRED to be agreed upon!  It was kept in secret from its Members to see for 1-year; it's existence [was] even denied; until [it was] forced out into the open!  Bishop Fellay had also stated that he was surprised and disappointed that his (scandalous) Doctrinal declaration was not accepted!  Bishop Fellay also stated and hoped that Pope Benedict XVI would still “do something” to “reconcile” them into the conciliar fold before he “retired” [from] being a Pope!




    Now, when you ask their Accordistas any question that puts the bee on
    the deceptive tactics of these malefactors, you get the blank look treatment.
    And THEY CAN'T HELP IT!   They are UNABLE TO SEE!  I'm telling you there
    has been a diabolical fog of BLINDNESS that has descended upon the
    followers of these denizens, and it is not a natural thing.  It can only be
    explained by spiritual means.  This is not a battle of wits.  It is a battle of
    principalities and powers in high places.  St. Paul had it right 1964 years
    ago.

    “If you do not live according to what you believe, then one day you will believe according to the way you live.”




    There is no doubt.  The Menzingen-denizens are hell-bent on the total
    destruction of the SSPX and they lead a load of lemmings who are clueless.

    And if you DARE mention the fact, you are HATEFUL.  

    Please read The Recusant #7 thread.  It's the same topic.

  • For some time now we have been splitting the SSPX into two camps. We might say the younger generation is now instructing the older generation, or, better, the liberal wing (always in today's leadership positions!) is instructing the conservative wing. Although Rome blocked a well-planned liberal initiative, the Society is still stuck with a liberal management hawking its liberal manifesto, a manifesto that was actually improved from something more horrible at the chapter meeting.

    How do district superiors who one by one came out and supported the proposed deal respond a year later with one leg firmly planted inside the conciliar world? If they are true to themselves, they must continue to use the manual that was prepared by Menzingen for a period of transition. The past tells us that those that have embarked on such a process are more likely to push on rather than backtrack. In this weak state, the leadership of the Society cannot but succuмb to a clever approach from Rome at some future date. But if this happens, with Fr. Cekada's practical eye, the devil will be in the detail of an agreement and unhappy priests could leave along with their congregations. Maybe Rome has anticipated this and does not want the trouble and adverse publicity. Traditionalists are a difficult lot, thankfully!

    What did Bergoglio call traditionalists?  Stubborn and hardhearted?  Why....he even endorsed and re-elevated Vatican II to the utmost sublimity....

    "Everybody seems happy about the presence of the Holy Spirit but it’s not really the case and there is still that temptation to resist it…. The Council was a beautiful work of the Holy Spirit…. But after 50 years, have we done everything that the Holy Spirit said to us in the Council? In the continuity of the growth of the Church which was the Council?"

    Wow...the beautiful work of the Holy Spirit has brought about plummeting vocations, massive loss of souls, and pedophilia!  Just to name a few...

    The real possibility that "unhappy priests could leave along with their
    congregations" could be a major component of the decisions to transfer
    many of the good priests to distant locations, often times to areas where
    the language is a major challenge to the priest being moved there.

    Once moved far away, if such a priest tries to remain in correspondence
    with his distant followers, his correspondence is then monitored. This is
    not honoring his rights to act as a good priest, but rather collecting a
    "file" to make a case against him, so he can be expelled in the future.

    This is why "...they must continue to use the manual that was prepared
    by Menzingen for a period of transition.
    "

    What chance is there this "liberal wing in the leadership" will convert,
    and become more traditional as ABL would have hoped? "The past tells
    us that those that have embarked on such a process are more likely to
    push on rather than backtrack."  

    As ABL said, "This would be our death."

    Far too many do not recognize the loss of souls as having happened -- this
    would cease to be the case if the Third Secret would be released.

    I wonder if the Third Secret is not being mercifully withheld by the hand of
    God, for once it becomes known, then mankind becomes responsible to
    recognize it for what it is - the truth.  How many would, even then, refuse
    to believe it?!?!  

    How many would then perpetrate the unforgivable sin, the refusal to listen
    to the immaculate words of the spiritual spouse of the Holy Ghost?

    Yes, we harbour the notion that Max 'Stassi' Krah has a file on every priest containing a defection coefficient! But this could measure two ways: positively towards Rome or negatively away from Rome!

    "But this could measure two ways: positively towards Rome or negatively away from Rome!"  


    I hear you saying that Krah's updatable[!] defection coefficient could
    be set up to measure one way, or the other way, or perhaps both  
    one or the other, e.g., a positive value could be "toward" and a negative
    value could be "away."

    How close is that?  



















    Warning: don't read this unless you want to know about the Format codes.

    P.S.  When your preview of a post does not process the codes but leaves
    them as stuff in brackets [] to clutter the page, it's because FIRST, you
    did not check the box to the left of "Format MbCode?" above the Reply
    and Preview buttons.  But to be sure that they will be processed, as above,
    you have to be sure that every "quote" code is followed by ONLY ONE
    "/quote" code, and every "/quote" code is preceded by ONLY ONE "quote"
    code, such that these codes are in exact pairs and proper order.  You can
    have multiple "quote" codes in a row, or before any or all "/quote" codes
    are included, but they still must be in a one-to-one correspondence, lest
    the system AUTOMATICALLY UNCHECKS the Format MbCode box, and
    then you must correct the improper codes AND re-check the box before
    the system will display the product of processed codes.  You can, as it
    seems you did above, just delete the "quote" codes, but still, you have to
    either re-check the box left of "Format MbCode?" or, failing that, you have
    to COPY your entire post (with "quote" codes deleted) and return to
    the thread and click any of the "quote" or "reply" buttons again to get
    a fresh Reply screen into which you can PASTE your saved post, only
    because that will AUTOMATICALLY RE-CHECK the "Format MbCode?" box.
    This is important even if all the "quote" codes are removed because
    the italics, color, bold, size, font and whatever will also be affected by that
    lousy box not being checked.

    That's it. Zero would be Menzingen's current position vis a vis Rome, therefore members' defectibility would need updating from time to time. The latest none-agreement has left keen members exposed. On previous occasions they joined ED bodies. In negative territory, there may have been a stay of execution but not enough to see some go.

    This may seem fanciful and it is fun guessing HQ's office routine. Having a legal office monitor five hundred priests though would be rather expensive unless Max farms it out cheaply to Dresden University's expert Surveillance Dept. Schhh, I must not give him any ideas ......

    I was speculating on the existence of one; at the bare minimum the district superiors must have been briefed beforehand when an agreement was on the cards and told to prepare their parishes for the changes anticipated.

    For some time now we have been splitting the SSPX into two camps. We might say the younger generation is now instructing the older generation, or, better, the liberal wing (always in today's leadership positions!) is instructing the conservative wing. Although Rome blocked a well-planned liberal initiative, the Society is still stuck with a liberal management hawking its liberal manifesto, a manifesto that was actually improved from something more horrible at the chapter meeting.

    How do district superiors who one by one came out and supported the proposed deal respond a year later with one leg firmly planted inside the conciliar world? If they are true to themselves, they must continue to use the manual that was prepared by Menzingen for a period of transition. The past tells us that those that have embarked on such a process are more likely to push on rather than backtrack. In this weak state, the leadership of the Society cannot but succuмb to a clever approach from Rome at some future date. But if this happens, with Fr. Cekada's practical eye, the devil will be in the detail of an agreement and unhappy priests could leave along with their congregations. Maybe Rome has anticipated this and does not want the trouble and adverse publicity. Traditionalists are a difficult lot, thankfully!

     :surprised:

    There is a manual?

    Is it public?

    Has it been posted on the internet anywhere?



    I was speculating on the existence of one; at the bare minimum the district superiors must have been briefed beforehand when an agreement was on the cards and told to prepare their parishes for the changes anticipated.


    Ahh....yes....

    Blushing...

    Yes, there was a speech by a visiting priest at my parish last year who made a speech about how we musn't talk too much about Jєωs and Freemasons when all the new people start attending after the deal.

    Yes, I remember the mention at my chapel, instructing that we should be understanding when the great influx of NO faithful would occur at our chapel...they were counting their chickens before they hatched!  Never a wise thing to do...

  • It is almost as though we are able to write the script for the new Society with or without a deal. Bereft of its former political dimension and anxious to embrace the conciliar world where it can, parishes will become more outlets for the performance of old-style liturgies without clear doctrinal underpinnings: the maintenance of the appearance of tradition.
