Excerpt:

"...The laws passed all over the world today are slowly but surely making Catholic life impossible. This means that sooner or later, the Christian will be obliged to say: No, I cannot! And what does any State do when you tell it 'no'? It puts you in prison. Today they are putting people in prison who say no to abortion, or who do nothing more that pray the rosary some 50 or 100 yards from a place where abortions are performed. And this in a country as liberal as the United States.

  So you see, it is not difficult to go to prison for a good cause nowadays. We must be ready. We must get ready. You will ask me how we should do this. It is very simple. Our Lord gave us a rule to prepare ourselves for great trials. It is a golden rule, yet extremely simple: fidelity in little things. In other words: we must do our duty of state. Fidelity in little things assures us of fidelity in great things. Our Lord Himself told us so.

Retaining relations with Rome

  What are we asking from Rome? Very simply, we want to be and remain Catholic. We cannot ask for less: That the Church be Catholic, that our Mother Church be One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. We ask for nothing more, but for nothing less. We ask for the whole faith, all the sacraments, all the discipline. That is our goal.

  What are our means? Of course, it is not up to us to convert Rome. Yet, we can collaborate, cooperate. We must do all we can. And in this all we can, there is first of all the duty to keep our relations with Rome. We must not break away. It is a mistake to draw away from the pope, the curia and the bishops and to end up saying: "We are the only ones left".

  If you need proof, you know that all those who begin like that always end up giving themselves a pope, their pope. Today there are some fifteen of them! One of them wrote to me. He calls himself Peter II. And he asked me permission to keep the Blessed Sacrament in his garage! That's how they end up!

  There is another, a Pius X III, a capuchin who said to himself: "Now that I'm pope, I need cardinals". So he appointed an Australian cardinal. A few days later he consecrated him bishop, while he was himself a simple Capuchin priest! And three days later, he had himself consecrated bishop by the man he had just consecrated bishop! It's ridiculous! It's sad. These are false solutions which lead nowhere. You've got bishops everywhere! a bishop in each garage! and popes! That is not the way.

  We can see clearly, that in the official Church today, there are still souls, priests, bishops who do not show themselves too much, but are, without a doubt, still Catholic, without the least shadow of doubt. But we can say that only we, who are faithful to Tradition, keep the doctrine in its entirety alive, and that alas, there are many Catholics who are no longer truly so. That is what makes it so diffcult.

  In a cancer, if you have a tumor which is well confined, you can try to have it removed. But if you have a general cancer, if the illness is everywhere, they you do not even try to remove anything. Because they no longer know what they should leave and what they should remove. Doctors are powerless. That is the state of the Church. It is a cancer so widespread that we can no longer take up the surgeon's knife to remove the tumors. In the past, you had a heretical priest here, a heretical bishop there, they were removed and that was the end of it. Now the evil is so widespread that even Rome no longer dares to take up the knife. Do not ask me how this is possible. This is part of the mystery of the Church. We can see here an association between the Mystical Body and the sufferings of Our Lord on the Cross. We can see plainly that the Church is going through the same state as Our Lord, an unheard-of Passion. Can this go on until death, as for Our Lord? Will there be an apparent death, like the disappearance of the Church? I wonder if the released part of the 3rd secret of Fatima does not deal with this Passion.
At the end it speaks of a massacre..."
