Can you believe it?
The New Society doesn't criticize the Conciliar Church, Pope Francis "he is our friend, he likes us", the Conciliar bishops, Bishop Huonder "what an honour"...
No, they criticize those who dare to criticize the New Church and the New Religion. "Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are"...
Archbishop Lefebvre never ceased denouncing the errors of the Conciliar Church. In his sermons, letters, conferences. He did it with passion, with justified indignation, with an air of disbelief. And never with a smile. Who can forget the cartoon he sent to Pope JPII after Assisi? For him the love of truth went hand in hand with the hatred of error.

It was only too clear to the liberals in the Society, so that Bishop Fellay had to take out a court injunction to suppress a massive collection of the Archbishop's little-known sermons produced by a French publishing house with the permission of his family.

Archbishop Lefebvre's faithful disciples continued in this same Catholic spirit for two decades, but now we are faced with a New Society. A Prudent Society. Every dereliction of duty is justified in the name of Prudence. The word just never ceases to appear in their letters and conferences condemning justified and praiseworthy resistance. It is now prudent not to warn the flock of the marauding wolf. Their so-called prudence is nothing less than cowardice or sheer calculated wickedness to deceive Traditionalists and condition them until they swallow the Conciliar pill.

The SSPX boast that they continue in the same vein as their founder. Let them re-publish and promote his sermons, instead of Big Bang theories, and we might believe them.

Are you able to say more about the Archbishop's little-known sermons produced by a French publishing house with the permission of his family, to which Bp. Fellay took out a court injunction? I've not heard of that before.

Meg, it was around 2013/2014.
Fr Jean Luc Lafitte who left the SSPX a little before then took up an apostolate in a large sedevacantist parish in Nantes in Brittany run by another former SSPX priest whose name escapes me.
A parishioner there who had a printing business obtained permission from the Archbishop's surviving family members to publish this very large collection of his lesser known sermons.
I saw the handsome books, two large volumes if my memory serves me correctly, only in French malheureusement!
It enjoyed quite a circulation before it was halted by Bishop Fellay who spared no expense in obtaining a court injunction to stop its publication and circulation on the grounds that it was the intellectual property of the SSPX.
The publisher did not object, apparently, he was not jealous of the royalties, he only wanted that the Archbishop be better known. He was happy for Bishop Fellay to publish the work. Alas, that was not Bishop Fellay's intention...
I know this directly from Fr Lafitte. I'm sure the story was online at the time.
Perhaps SJ, X, Matthew, or someone else can contribute more information?

Thank you for the additional information. So, the publisher of the sermons (in book form) thought that Bp. Fellay wanted to publish the work, but of course that's not what happened. I have to wonder what those sermons contained. Probably something about Rome being in apostasy, or maybe a clear intention which stated that the SSPX should not reconcile with Modernist Rome, or something like that. Two volumes of work is a LOT of sermons, and only in French, too! I wonder if copies of the original sermons still exist, but that's probably what was handed over to Bp. Fellay.
