Title: Joint communiqué of Bishop Huonder and Father Pagliarani
Post by: Mega-fin on May 20, 2019, 08:14:09 AM
On Monday, May 20, 2019, Pope Francis relieved Bishop Vitus Huonder of his duties as Bishop of the Diocese of Chur (Switzerland), while appointing an administrator with a view to the election of his successor.
According to an intention that he stated long ago, Bishop Huonder is retiring to a house of the Society of Saint Pius X. The one sole purpose of this step is to dedicate himself to prayer and silence, to celebrate the traditional Mass exclusively, and to work for Tradition, the only way of renewing the Church.
The Society of Saint Pius X appreciates Bishop Huonder’s courageous decision and rejoices to be able to provide him with the spiritual and priestly surroundings that he desires so deeply. May this example be followed by others, so as to “restore everything in Christ”.
May 20, 2019
His Excellency Vitus Huonder                                 Don Davide Pagliarani
Bishop Emeritus of Chur                                        Superior General of the SSPX

Thank you for posting this.

Because I appreciate when important news is posted, I gave a thumbs up.

That is what the thumbs-up means: "Thank you! Please keep up the good work and post more things of this nature."

As anyone who has been on CathInfo for 1 week knows, I am NOT AT ALL happy about the SSPX cozying up to Modernist Rome, forming new connections with the Conciliar Church, compromising, and changing on a daily basis.

So although I consider this BAD NEWS for Tradition, I give it a hearty thumbs up because I'm not going to "shoot the messenger". I appreciate the messenger posting this important news on CathInfo, even if this particular news story is bad news.

[Choking on my coffee...]

The one sole step?

What liars!

We already have it from the horses mouth that +Huonder is assigned this task to act as an official liaison between the SSPX and Francis!

Disgraceful for priests to abuse truth so flagrantly.

The gorge rises.

And the idea that this altar girl using, Communion in the hand dispensing bishop is now going to suddenly “work for Tradition” (now that he is retired?) takes you all for idiots!

Of course, in Menzingen they now believe that facilitating an accord between the new-SSPX and ultra-modernist Rome = “working for Tradition!”

Regarding the alleged “one sole purpose:”

Vatican City (kath.net/KAP)
Bishop Vitus Huonder of Chur was received on Monday by Pope Francis in private audience. Details of the conversation were not announced by the Vatican and the Swiss diocese. Vitus Huonder (76) has been Bishop of Chur since 2007; In April 2017, the Pope had extended his term by two years. As the acceptance of his resignation is expected shortly, on April 21 Huonder will complete his 77th year of life.

As the diocese confirmed at the end of January, Huonder wants to retire to Wangs in the canton of Sankt Gallen. There he will keep contact with the Society for the Vatican. The "Society of Saint Pius X" runs a school in Wangs, the "Institut Sancta Maria".

In January, Pope Francis dissolved the Vatican Commission "Ecclesia Dei" responsible for the dialogue with the Society of Saint Pius X and integrated its task into the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. In the dispute with the Society, there were only differences in Church doctrine, and for this, only the Congregation itself was responsible, it was said in the Pope’s decree.

Of course. We need to keep up to date with what is going on. I was told on March 31 from a Society priest whom I will leave unnamed that that very week a memo had come through saying he will not be coming anytime soon if ever! Less then two months later and here he is. I don’t know about you but two months isn’t “a long time”

The only situation that could develop which would make the resistance unnecessary is the pope burning the V2 docuмents in St Peter's square and prohibiting the new mass under penalty of excommunication.  (and a correction of the 500,000 other related things to these 2 evils).
.
But this will never happen because this isn't the new-sspx's goal.  They no longer will ACT to CONVERT new-rome.  They only want to become FRIENDS with these HERETICS and hope that new-rome will convert by EXAMPLE.  This is a naive and utopian dream.  It is a moral certainty that if you have bad friends, your morals will be corrupted.

Formal and clear heresy acts like a dagger.
Equivocation acts like a slow poison.
Heresy attacks a precise article of dogma.
Equivocation undermines the habitus of faith
and thus weakens all dogmas.
One becomes a formal heretic only by willing it.
Equivocation instead is able to demolish the faith
of a man unbeknownst to him.
Heresy affirms what dogma denies or
denies what it affirms.
Equivocation destroys the faith just as radically,
by refraining from either affirming or denying,
by turning revealed certainty into personal opinion.

-- Abbe Raymond Dulac

Bishop Huonder and Father Pagliarani, like Francis, are using equivocation, which subtly destroys the faith.

They all must be exposed for their treasonous lies, which come from the Father of Lies, Satan.

Who cares?  What about all the other 1,000s of bishops in the world that the new-sspx will not affect because the new-sspx will have to "be positive" and not be able to criticize V2 or the new mass, just like when the FSSP joined new-rome, they couldn't criticize the heretical direction of new-rome.  Every trad group who has joined new-rome has been neutered and not allowed to be critical.  This makes "admonishing the sinners" of new-rome impossible, so the chances of them converting due to the new-sspx's influence, is almost nil.

The Remnant picked up the story also, but look how they title the story, it appears hey are more direct that than SSPX's title "Joint communiqué of Bishop Huonder and Fa Father Pagliarani". Here is what the Remnant chose to title it:

Novus Ordo Bishop Retires to SSPX District House
Title: Re: Joint communiqué of Bishop Huonder and Father Pagliarani
Post by: X on May 20, 2019, 02:05:53 PM
Posted the following in The Remnant’s “comments” section, but doubt it will see the light of day (and even if they were inclined to publish it, they would get a call from the District within a couple hours to delete it).

Therefore, posting it here:


“Can someone explain to me how the joint declaration’s statement that “the one sole purpose” for Bishop Huonder’s retirement to the sspx school is to dedicate himself to prayer, silence, say the TLM, and work for the restoration of Tradition is compatible with the Diocese of Chur’s Kathnet announcement of a couple months ago, acknowledging that the bishop has been given this assignment by Francis to be a liaison between the SSPX and Rome?

Moreover, am I to believe the same bishop recently pictured celebrating the new Mass with altar girls, and giving communion in the hand, has suddenly changed his spots, and conveniently became a traditionalist on the day of his retirement?

And of what does Bishop Huonder’s newfound “traditionalism” consist, beyond saying the old Mass?  Does he suddenly reject his own former ecuмenism?  Does he reject the errors of Vatican II?  What are his thoughts on the new questionable sacraments (eg., vegetable oil for extreme unction)?  Etc., etc.

Just a few days after tossing cold water on the initiative of theologians who were seeking to continue the deposition process of Francis (initially begun by Cardinal Burke, and continued by the Correctio Fillialis), the SSPX now sends a disturbing message to its faithful:

We are on the same side as the modernists.

The SSPX, which once served as a bastion of truth, today tells a blatant falsehood through its superior general, regarding the purpose of Bishop Huonder’s arrival (contradicted by the bishop himself).

There is only one way this joint declaration is compatible with truth (at least subjectively):

The SSPX today believes that working for a practical accord with unconverted Rome = “working for Tradition.”

The previous generation of SSPXers were indoctrinated by Archbishop Lefebvre after the consecrations to hold such a position as the gravest danger to the faithful (see his 1991 Fideliter interview).

Conversely, the last 20 years of SSPX leadership have striven mightily (and successfully) to inculcate exactly the opposite principle: Legal recognition is the primary goal.

Very few have possessed the perspicacity of mind to detect this reorientation of the SSPX, and those who have have become maligned more than baby murdering devil worshippers.

Will The Remnant possess the journalistic integrity to allow this perspective to aire?  It will gain my respect if it does.”

Yes, some of his morals might improve, except for those associated with the 8th Commandment, since the leadership of the SSPX does not hold the 8th Commandment in high regard at all.

May this example be followed by others, so as to “restore everything in Christ”.May 20, 2019.

Good for His Excellency Bishop Huonder. And a great accomplishment by Rev. Father Pagliarani to have obtained that dedication from the Bishop, by the Grace of God. Why is it a bad thing again for a Bishop to begin offering the True Mass exclusively? It is at least a good first step that can lead to even better in time.

His Excellency Bishop Fellay said some time ago "I rejoice whenever aTLM is celebrated" and that is what a true Shepherd of souls with love for the Church and concern for Her good would say.

If this were something allegedly easy to do, or could be done without the Grace of God, why hasn't the Resistance been able to convince any Conciliar Bishops to begin offering the TLM exclusively?

Clearly, not an easy thing to do that. It is the Work of Grace imho, slowly attracting a retired Bishop toward Tradition. Grace can continue to work in Bishop Huonder's soul as H.E. offers the TLM every day. Let's see what Bp. H. thinks of girl altar boys and the other silliness in 5 or 10 years from now.

I read recently that there was one Bishop in the Philippines several years ago who was among the very few Bishops in the world who admitted it was wrong to say the Novus Ordo Missae. That Bishop was buried on SSPX grounds in the end.

The need of the hour is for more of the Bishops to do the right thing and support Tradition in their own dioceses. Every one doing so would likely benefit at least tens if not hundreds of thousands of souls. The SSPX will continue to work toward that goal.

Normalization is a completely separate matter. If the Pope is ready to make Auxiliary Bishops into Ordinary Bishops having habitual jurisdiction - which only the Pope can do - the SSPX is ready to say yes, and is right in doing so. Anyone who insists on disagreeing with this really insists that Traditional Catholic Bishops must always remain inferior in Episcopal Authority to Conciliar Bishops, since auxiliaries are inferior to ordinaries in power. The SSPX approach toward restoring Tradition in the wider Church is much more feasible and plausible than any comparable Resistance approach, and is based on sound Catholic principles.

I think not. Michael Matt just headlined it that way to make trads think he's still a trad.

He sold-out his journalistic integrity when he started providing cover for the SSPX.
Since 2012, he's editorially endorsed the SSPX and hasn't reported anything about the SSPX/Resistance split.  

Now, he's even endorsing Francis's fake conservative "good cop" Bp. Schnieder.

The Remnant selectively reports the truth and therefore acts as an agent of liars, misleading trad Catholics to assist the modernists revolution.

If we could only see the changes in Michael Matt's bank account since 2012... he could not wound not explain it.

The SSPX joint announcement simply reeks with arrogance. 

It assumes traditional Catholics are completely naive to their cause.

"The Society of Saint Pius X appreciates Bishop Huonder’s courageous decision and rejoices to be able to provide him with the spiritual and priestly surroundings that he desires so deeply. May this example be followed by others, so as to “restore everything in Christ”.May 20, 2019."

Fr. Pagliarani fails to even explain Bp. Huonder's reasons for becoming a traditional Catholic?

Oh let me guess... it was a miracle?   

He looked up from his Novus ordo mass card and there was St. Joan of Arc looking at him in a demanding way... saying:

"You Huonder, schismatic apostle under the Destroyer pope, will become a traditional Catholic!"

"I rejoice whenever aTLM is celebrated"
Xavier, to follow-up on what HomeSchoolMom said, your understanding of theology and how the liturgy pleases God is childish.  You really need to pray for guidance on this.  Just because a TLM is said doesn't mean it's automatically good and God is honored.  A catholic is forbidden by canon law from attending a mass from a known heretic/modernist, therefore many TLMs would be wrong to attend because the priest is in the state of public sin (this also applies to probable heretics, because canon law also forbids catholics from attending masses/sacraments based on "probabilities".)  We have the highest duty, both legally and morally, to offer God our best, which means to attend masses which are certainly valid, legal and moral.  Anything less, unless in an emergency, is to offer God the sin of Cain, the 2nd best of our selves and the liturgy.
.
Further, being that many TLMs are said in the same churchs and by the same priests who say the novus ordo abomination, then those TLMs are tainted by sacrilige and blasphemy, since those churches as desecrated by sins against the First Commandment, which highly offend God, above all other sins.
.
In the case of +Huonder, until he publically denounces his previous errors, his previous silence on V2, his previous sacrilegious performance of the novus ordo (with his allowance of the blasphemous 'communion in the hand', girl servers, lay eucharistic ministers, etc, etc, etc), then he is to be avoided as a probable heretic and a practical apostate.  Anyone who associates with him is guilty of this scandal to the Faith.  The new-sspx has an obligation to the entire catholic world to properly legitimize this "bishop" (if he's a bishop at all...he should be conditionally ordained/consecrated) and to help him make resitution for his enabling the V2 errors, by him issuing a public condemnation of all things Modernism, a public taking of the "oath against modernism" and a public "Credo" of all things orthodox and Traditional.  Much like Bishop Castro Meyer denounced his former errors, and spend the rest of this life supporting Traditionalism, so +Huonder has the duty, as a Bishop of the Church, to make up for his past and to spread/preach the Faith for the little time he has left on earth.

There could be certain circuмstances to use indult priests, for confession, for example (in an emergency).  And regarding the indult TLM, it would be wrong for those “in the know”. But, subjectively, for those that are coming from the novus ordo to it, they are moving in the right direction.  The indult is not inherently wrong, as one could argue for the novus ordo.  The sin of Cain was the sin of intent, where he did not offer to God his best.  Some that go to the indult are slowly learning about Traditionalism, so they have a temporary excuse.  This doesn’t apply to Trads.

Where are the felicitous headlines in all the SSPX journals around the world "Conciliar Bishop converts to Tradition"? Where are all the conferences and writings of Bishop Huonder, who decided on this step years ago (a long time to delay one's conversion!) describing his journey to Tradition and how the scales fell from his eyes, how he became aware of the revolution in the Church that triumphed at Vatican II? Where is his rejection of the New Mass, Ecuмenism, Religious Liberty, Collegiality and all the Conciliar errors he has been promoting all his life? Of course, they are non-existent. Because he has not converted to Tradition. This is in no way similar to the conversion of Bishop Lazo to Tradition in the Philippines, Xavier Sem. This is simply a modernist bishop (with a ?) being placed in the very heart of Tradition, something we now know was agreed upon years ago by the SSPX and Rome to facilitate the merging of the SSPX with the Church of Vatican II.

Great posting X, well said again.

Xavier Sem, our fight is not just for the Traditional Mass. It is first and foremost for the Faith. As others have pointed out, there are many heretics and schismatics who have a traditional Mass and sacraments. You don't bring them into your house and have them smile sweetly at your children as if they are one with you. What a grave scandal to bring an unconverted modernist bishop like this into a Catholic school where our children will be exposed to him, and where he will be held up to them as an authority figure, someone to look up to and obey. What a scandal to give the appearance to the world that this modernist bishop is now 'one of us', part of our family. Sadly, that is now the reality for the SSPX. They are fast becoming one of his family.

Furthermore, in Bishop Huonder, we have a doubtful bishop and doubtful priest, having been ordained and consecrated in the new rites by modernists. But this won't worry Menzingen. They wouldn't want to upset Pope Francis by any suggestion that he may need to be conditionally reordained and consecrated. Let us hope at least that this huge leap in the direction of 'regularization' will help the scales fall from the eyes of some of the Traditional priests and faithful, including Xavier Sem who has many good qualities and for whom we should all pray. He may make a very good Resistance priest if only we can help him to see how our beloved Society has been subverted.

It also seems to have gone unnoticed that the joint declaration does not speak of “restoring” the Church, but of “renewing” it.

This is conciliar language.

In conservative environs, they like to use this term, as it does not imply a rejection of the underlying justification of Vatican II (ie., renewal; evolution; revolution; change; progress), while “restoration” implies turning back the clock and rejection.

Hence, I detect a hint in the use of this term regarding the SSPX’s new mindset:

There is no longer even the pretense of converting Rome to Tradition (a BS claim used by all the capitulating once-traditional communities used to shield them from scorn), but a contentedness to assume a place in the new pluralist church.

The SSPX will not restore.

It wants to renew.

You have it from the superior general’s mouth.

They adopt the same posture towards the crisis (which they want you to believe “recedes”) as EWTN’s Franciscans of the Renewal; the same attitude as Cardinal Hoyos’s admonition to Bishop Fellay that “you are not against the new Mass, but for the old Mass;” which all amounts to the acceptance of Fr. Cottier’s strategy against Campos: What matters most is that there no longer be rejection in their hearts.

Declaring a desire to renew, but not restore, implies that psychological process has been successful.

I confess when reading this (even though we have been hearing about renewal for many a decade) , when it comes to the neo-SSPX and its Operation ѕυιcιdє. the Carousel scene from the 1976 scifi movie Logan's Run is what comes to mind.

Basic premise: people who reach a certain age must take their chance at being renewed. What actually happens is a spectacle of public execution.

Thus: the neoSSPX by falling into the conciLIAR lie of renewal, in the end will only end up destroying anything left of Tradition within their collective corpus.

As you watch the video below, look at the people who are about to renew. These are the deluded neoSSPXers. Replete are metaphors of ascending and renewal by fire, as indicated by the apparel. When they reach the top, they get vapourized.
Those who do not wish to "renew" try to make a run for sanctuary and are taken down by Sandmen (guys in black).

Thus:Resistance to the neoSSPX is more than frowned upon, to put it mildly.
Take greater heed of those who wish to destroy the soul!!!

This is not foolproof. All modernists celebrated the TLM exclusively up through the 60's.
A historical fact so simple and basic that it is a wonder all trads don't readily embrace it.  Exclusive use of the TLM is not necessarily a cure all for modernism.  Modernism flourished in the TLM church for probably 150 years or longer.

This is conciliar language.

Didn't even catch that. You're right and I can't believe it wasn't noticed right away. 

It does mention restoring all things in Christ, but that can be vague. Someone could easily think in a confused modernist way that renewing the Church means restoring all things in Christ. But "restoring the Church" refers to the crisis and means something specific for our times. That meaning is conveniently absent in the phrase "renewing the Church". I don't know who wrote it or who okay'd it or even if Don Pagliarani means renew in the same way that Bishop Huonder does, but it almost doesn't matter. It doesn't look good for a leadership trying desperately to prove that rubbing elbows with conciliarists isn't going to affect them.

We talked to an sspx woman friend of ours today, who, along with her husband, appears to believe that +Hounder is a real catch for the Society. He may the greatest thing since sliced bread, as we understand, on balance, her glowing description of this conciliar bishop. Why, he’s going to say the TLM exclusively. He’s going to be pray, meditate, and read his breviary in semi-seclusion.

 
It amounts to a kind of spectacular conversion of a 77 year old New Church prelate, who’s spent most of his ministry, since 1971, giving Communion (cookies) in the hand to young girls in halter tops and being served by acolytes of the same gender. It is truly a marvelous thing in our eyes. It seems, though, to be the tale being presently peddled to the sspx faithful.

 
Bp. W expressed himself recently less ebulliently. He writes:

 
Quote
“But he (Huonder) would not be cutting all contact with the Newchurch in Rome. On the contrary, his present diocesan spokesman announced in January that the bishop’s retiring to Wangs in April “is tied to a mission being entrusted to him by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, to maintain contact with the SSPX.” Clearly BpH, reputed to be a personal friend of Pope Francis, was planning to act as a link between Newchurch and Newsociety, in the hope of bringing them closer together. ‘..
In other words, Bp. Huonder is probably, in less polite language, a plant, a spy, an essentially unconverted agent of the post-Conciliar church, now firmly enscounced among the ranks of the sspx hierarchy. I have no doubt that this is what +W means to say, and he's right.

 
So we now have a bishop, run largely by Masons, Communists, Jews and perverts, not to mention other assorted heretics, dispatched as a Romish emissary to a fallen traditional Catholic apostolate, run largely by “rats” and “nαzιs.” I’ll sleep better tonight.

Just keep an eye on the crystal in your hand...30 years you go red and then poof. After a life spent in hedonism and general godlessness, where a computer runs the whole show - obviously programmed by sick minds.
The parallels are startling but good scifi does that, in how it mirrors the present.

Definitely.

Then again, a spy is one who conceals his true mission, whereas Menzingen is fully aware (and supportive) of that mission.

The reality, therefore, is not that Huonder is a spy, but that the new-SSPX is treasonous.

Had Bishop Huonder ever written something like this (see link below), the new-SSPX would want nothing to do with him, and would probably rebuke him as schismatic or a practical sedevacantist:
