Bishop Williamson said:
"Thus, like most politicians of the last 500 years, these SSPX leaders are talking to the right while walking to the left, because that is what a large number of people want, namely the appearance of Christianity without its substance."
Commentary:
1) Fr Pfeiffer was in town recently, and he used the imagery of a battering ram.
2) Once the battering ram impacts the door, it must be withdrawn, in order to ram again.
3) In this case, Menzingen holds the battering ram.
4) The ram itself is false obedience and practical accord.
5) But do not think because the ram is being pulled back, the siege is ending.
6) A battering ram must be pulled back before it can crash the gates again.
7) And if we seem to see a pulling back in Menzingen, should we deduce they have decided to abandon the siege?
8) Certainly not!
9) The only logical reason to do so would be if there were a conversion in Menzingen.
10) But since there has been no conversion in Menzingen, one must conclude that we are in the eye of he storm, awaiting the next crash of the battering ram.
11) Talking to the right, while walking to the left, indeed.
Interesting, Seraphim -- did this come from a talk or conference recently? If so,
which one? Please reference for the sake of new readers or future researchers!
And here is the crux-of-the-EC
paragraph, IMHO:
What happened in the SSPX last spring, as Fr Chazal says, is that the mask came off, because the SSPX leadership must have calculated that the time had come for it to make its open move back into the mainstream Church. Alas for these leaders, there emerged between March and June enough resistance to block at the SSPX General Chapter in July any immediate attempt to join the Newchurch. And so from that Chapter onwards, the mask has gone back on.
Break --- one thing at a time...
Fr. Chazal is referenced. He said the mask came off. This alludes to the great
encyclical 129 years ago,
Humanum genus of the venerable* Pope Leo
XIII, 20 April 1884, On Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ. And as such, the Bishop and Fr. Chazal are
making the implication without having to say so, that what is going on with the
Menzingen-denizens is nothing short of complicity with the condemned methods
of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ!
We should recognize this! It is very important.
*Pope Leo XIII deserves to be raised to Blessed, at least, but it is
precisely due
to this encyclical of his that the Freemasonic death-grip on the Vatican prevents
his due recognition, and INSTEAD we get the cause of John XXIII, Paul VI and JPII
in the nefarious works -- notice: they've skipped JPI. Ever wonder why?
But liberals do not convert, short of a miracle of grace, because leftwardness is their real religion. That is why the SSPX leaders are surely waiting for the modern world, flesh and devil to continue their work of pulling SSPX clergy and laity to the left so that within a few years at most there will no longer be any significant resistance, as there was last summer, to the SSPX rejoining the Newchurch.
Quiz questions:
Q.1: Why are the SSPX leaders surely waiting for the modern world, flesh and
devil to continue their work of pulling SSPX clergy and laity to the left?
A.1: The answer is in two parts; Firstly, because the real religion of Liberals is
leftwardness, and the world, flesh and devil do the dirty work of promoting this
false god of Liberalism; and Secondly, the bad fruit of pulling the clergy and laity
to the left will yield the bad fruit in due season of there no longer being any
significant resistance, as there was last summer, to the SSPX rejoining Newchurch.
Q.2: Why do Liberals not convert, short of a miracle of grace?
A.2: Because leftwardness is their real religion.
Q.3: Why does Bishop Williamson attribute the observation of removing the
mask to Fr. Chazal?
A.3: Because the good bishop is a
good bishop and he gives credit to where
credit is due, and he takes the baton of a good idea and he runs with it, as the
anchor runner in a relay does, to win the race for the whole team.
Q.4: What does the "mask" observation have to do with our situation today?
A.4: The relevance, my friends, will go right over the heads of Accordistas, who,
like Protestants to whom you attempt to explain the merit of good works or the
INFINITE grace of Sacramental Confession, they cannot recognize what is
happening to them as the Sun and Moon course across the sky, because they
are blind, being led by the blind, and they both fall into the pit. But I digress..
The relevance is, that this "mask" to which Bishop and Father speak is none other
than the deception of the devil, which is why +Fellay was so secretive: he fears,
and rightly so, the exposure of the truth, whereby his secret dealings will be
brought into the light of day for all to see. He fears that the Catholic remnant,
among whom at least a portion of the SSPX Faithful are included, will become
apprised of what he has been up to in his
secret Society dealings, pun intended.
One does not have to
be a Freemason to
behave like one.
There are a LOT more questions, and a LOT more answers.
But the good bishop puts down in one EC more that +Fellay
puts down in a lifetime, and that is why +F wants the ECs to
stop: he is envious of their POWER, because he covets ALL
power. He may have forgotten to notice:
10. THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S GOODS...........when in fact, all he has done by throwing a stupid tantrum over the
dissemination of these ECs is to bring more attention to them, for crying out loud!
I would laugh but it is not funny. HA! :soapbox:
