Is satanism your religion?

You are clearly suffering from some kind of paranoia. You think that some woman has set a number of people up on this forum to needlessly harass you.


Are there voices in your head? Are these voices feeding you this information about us?

Is there an exorcist in your parish?

From what we have seen from your posts of the last few days, you need some kind of professional help.

COMMUNIQUE

From various sources, I have been told that there is a lot of misinformation circulating in Germany
and German-speaking Switzerland on the subject of the attitude of the Society concerning the Ordo
Missae in use there.
This attitude, they say, was changed at a certain time. In practice, the Ordo of St Pius V and St Pius X
was replaced by that of John XXIII, and this under pressure from certain members of the Society,
contrary to my wishes.
By this public statement, I would like to affirm that this change has never existed. Since its
foundation, the Society has used the 1962 edition of the liturgical books, given that I had adopted
them as soon as they were published in 1962 and that the Society was founded in 1969 and
approved in 1970.
This new edition is not a new Ordo Missae, but a re-edition of the Ordo of St. Pius V and St. Pius X,
with insignificant modifications.
The Calendar then underwent more significant changes, some of which are very welcome and others
questionable.
But for the sake of uniformity within the Fraternity, we decided to conform to the 1962 editions, and
to the Calendar, believing that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
This decision has remained unchanged for almost 20 years. In Fribourg, then at Econe, this line of
conduct has been strictly followed.
If, for two or three years, this decision was not applied by some members of the Fraternity, it was
due to personal initiatives contrary to the will of the Founder and the practice of Econe.
But these initiatives have now been suppressed, and liturgical unity is being pursued throughout the
Society. For we rightly believe that the 1962 edition of the Ordo Missae corresponds perfectly to the
Ordo of St. Pius V and of St. Pius X.
To try to establish essential differences between the 1962 edition and the Ordo of St. Pius V and St.
Pius X is to manifest a legalistic and Jansenist mentality.
