“Therefore, no one who considers them the most dangerous enemies of the Church will stray from the truth.” Thus speaks Saint Pius X in the encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis. And why? He himself answers: “In truth, as we have said, not outside, but within the Church they plot their pernicious schemes; and, therefore, it is, so to speak, in her very veins and entrails that the danger lies, all the more ruinous the more intimately they know her.”
So, are the Popes of the Conciliar Church modernists? Yes, and they plotted their pernicious advice into the very veins of the Church during the Second Vatican Council, corrupting the notion of Tradition and even the very notion of truth.
an alliance that constitutes the very root of the modernist system. Pius XII's condemnations of the New Theology and its propagators were ignored, and the council and the post-council period became permeated by modernist errors and mentality. This is sometimes a diffuse, almost unconscious modernism, but it prevents current bishops and cardinals from seeing that Archbishop Lefebvre was and is right in his struggle.an alliance that constitutes the very root of the modernist system.

Yes, because most of them accept the Second Vatican Council, which revealed an alliance between false modern philosophies and the Faith— an alliance that constitutes the very root of the modernist system.

This is sometimes a diffuse, almost unconscious modernism, but it prevents current bishops and cardinals from seeing that Archbishop Lefebvre was and is right in his struggle.
May the Society of Saint Pius X, which has received and transmits true philosophy and true theology, know how to avoid the enemies "who hide within the very bosom of the Church" and who today believe they have conquered and wish to conquer the Society and all Tradition. May God forbid it.
But we must say that, unfortunately, the Fraternity, in its last twenty-five years, has been imprudently drawing closer to Rome and, consequently, has been weakening in the fight against the modernists who occupy the Vatican. It is to be feared that it will not be able to discern and reject all the traps that will inevitably be set for it on the occasion of the new consecrations.
Both in 1988 and now, Archbishop Lefebvre remains a model for combating the same enemies that, since the Second Vatican Council, have plagued the Holy Church. It is enough to follow his example and thus not only protect oneself from the attacks of the modernists, but also work to increase the number and merit of the faithful.
We pray for the Fraternity, to which we owe everything that is best in us, for it was from its founder that we received the priesthood as well as the teachings that allowed us not to shipwreck in our faith. It was also from one of its sons in the episcopate that we received ours.
For all these reasons, we pray for the Fraternity and wholeheartedly wish for the success of these consecrations, if they are carried out with the same spirit of prudence and faith as Archbishop Lefebvre.
