In a manner of speaking, here is another one...
(another howling demon being exorcised)...

Pascendi offers among other things a world-class philosophical analysis of modernism.

At the time, many modernists claimed that it didn't apply to them, and in a sense they were right.  It was a far more coherent account than many of them had produced, or were capable of producing.

But there were some, like Loisy and Tyrell, who made themselves quite clear.  These were the ones who were excommunicated.

The modernist movement was and is like any other movement.  Some knew exactly what they were about theoretically.  Some had a more limited grasp.  Some hadn't a clue, and never got beyond the buzzwords.

The Holy Father is not dumb, but he's not intellectual.  There are many people like that.  They think and act based on slogans that capture only a part -- and often a mangled part -- of the whole picture.

The Resistance, from the greatest even unto the least, practically to a man, is rather like that.

Effectively, it considers thought and prudence the enemies of true religion.

The only way you can be safe from modernism is to denounce, and denounce, and denounce, from a safe distance.  

Bishop Williamson more than once has talked as if love were also one of the enemies.  Is the thought that if we loved our enemies, we might get too close to them, and be corrupted?

Jesus, meek and humble of heart, does not seem to have a place in the Resistance.

It is hard to see how the Resistance could ever go forth and teach all nations, because that would expose the evangelists to being poisoned by the world of unbelievers which vastly outnumbers it.

For the Resistance, Our Lord in Matthew 28:20 is instructing the disciples to endanger their faith.  

For the Resistance, St. Paul on the Areopagus was endangering his faith.

The only safe thing for a Resistant to do is to denounce Bishop Fellay from a safe distance.  

The Resistance is very much like the man who buried his talent.

Some months ago, my SSPX priest son expressed a real concern that the Resistance was going to lead some people into Hell.

At the time, I thought that this was a bit much.

Now I'm not so sure.

To summarize:

The Resistance is not intellectual, but thinks and acts based on shallow slogans that capture a mangled part of the whole picture, you know, like Pope Francis does!

The Resistance considers thought and prudence the enemies of true religion -- this is, of course, based on Fr. Themann's corrupted thought and misunderstanding of prudence.

Bishop Williamson, as a member of the Resistance, can only be safe by repeatedly denouncing Modernism from a safe distance, and talks as if love were one of the enemies, for loving our enemies might get us too close to them, lest we would be corrupted.

New comprehensive interview by SSPX Superior-General: "I didn't mean to say Pope is a Modernist in theology, but in action".

New interview granted by the Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), Swiss bishop Bernard Fellay, to the organization's own news agency, DICI.

They say that "you only get one chance to make a first impression", and it is true, if you don't see the person much again. By somewhat of an analogy, Bp. Fellay has done, said, and written enough to receive the standing with me of a person who speaks with a forked tongue. As everyday passes, he continues to get worse. Therefore, I no longer take anything he says seriously. What he says one day, he changes a few days later into double speak. It's as if he re-publishes it again after his editors have perfected the double speak so as not to offend the conciliar Church and at the same time not alert the majority of his blind followers.

Needless to say, I read less and less of him, to the point that I do not even pick it up off the chapel counter. In short, he has been discarded to the heap with all the other people for which I have lost all hope of hearing anything worth listening to.
