Open Letter to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV and to the Cardinals of the Holy Church

Most Blessed Father,
Most Reverend Eminences,
On the eve of the Consistory scheduled for the end of this month, and just days before the episcopal consecrations planned for July 11 near Écône, it seems fitting for the Society of Saint Pius X to reaffirm a complete profession of the Catholic faith, as expressed in every article of the Creed.

The Church today groans under the pressure of many errors coming both from within and from without, errors which lead souls away from the Church and from sound doctrine. Faced with such suffering, we cannot remain indifferent.

Despite this, the Society of Saint Pius X remains attached to and follows the millennial Tradition of the Church, faithfully preserved by the Apostolic See throughout the centuries, and which many today consider outdated, as though it were subject to continual evolution.

In the name of this Tradition, and in the light of it, we formulate today this profession of the Catholic faith against the principal errors and grave dangers of our time.

We are convinced that the remedy for all the evils afflicting the Church and the world is found in the profession of the integral Catholic faith. The faith handed down in Tradition, founded upon the perennial Magisterium, constitutes the true foundation of the Church and, consequently, the indispensable means for establishing union and communion in Christ.

Above the changes and vicissitudes of time stands the immutable Tradition, the guardian of eternal Truth.

We cannot but hope and pray that this Tradition and the purity of the faith may once again become the foundation of the life of the Church, so that a true renewal may begin. For this intention we pray insistently.

How I'm feeling today...

I understand why people are coming to this conclusion and find myself empathizing more and more.

I reached a point where I needed some spiritual direction, so I sat down with my pastor today. We spent over an hour discussing this article on Ratzinger, Tyconius, and the Church's final trial:

If my own parish priest is pointing me toward Tyconius as a framework for understanding the Church's present struggles, I have to think many Catholics are wrestling with the same questions.

[Gratia Veritatis @GratiaVeritatis]

@CraigOnan The issue isn't that the SSPX is rejecting a teaching they dislike. Its about preserving what the Church has always taught during a time of confusion and crisis.
That's very different than whether someone accepts "99%" of Catholicism.

[Gratia Veritatis @GratiaVeritatis]

@khallwalker My NO parish is very conservative but its still boderline Catholic in my book. Its almost like Rome is forcing us to make a choice and the it's becoming increasingly clear that choice is the SSPX.

The more I study Church history and look at what's happening today, the more I think Tyconius was right: the Church's greatest trials come from within, not from outside.

We're clearly in or fast approaching a time of upheaval in the Church. Part of me longs for the Church of my youth, but God did not place me there. He placed me here.

My calling is not to flee, but to remain faithful.

I don't have all the answers. I don't know how every controversy will be resolved. But I do know this: walking away from Christ is not the answer.

Christ did not abandon us in His darkest hour, and I will not abandon Him in this hour of trial.
