In 1976 Archbishop Lefebvre said:

“We do not belong to this new religion. And the Pope cannot ask us to join it.” “I am well aware that there are numerous difficulties in this enterprise, which, we are told, is reckless. We are told that we are at a dead end. Why? Because from Rome, especially in the last three months, especially since March 19, the feast of Saint Joseph, we have received exhortations, pleas, orders, and threats, urging us to cease our activity, not to celebrate these priestly ordinations.” “And it is precisely because we know that these priests will be faithful to the Mass of the Church, to the Mass of Tradition, to the Mass of all times, that we are asked not to ordain them.”

“Have we been wrong to insist on maintaining the traditional rite? Certainly, we have prayed, consulted, reflected, and meditated to determine whether we were really wrong or whether we simply lacked sufficient reasons not to submit to this new rite. Well, the mere insistence of those sent to us from Rome to change the rite makes us doubt, and we are convinced that this new rite of the Mass expresses a new faith, a faith that is not ours, a faith that is not the Catholic faith.” “It is the expression of a completely new ideology: the ideology of modern man has been introduced into our most sacred rites. And this is what is corrupting the entire Church, because with this idea of power granted to the base in the Holy Mass, the priesthood is being destroyed.”

“Well, we do not belong to that religion; we do not accept this new religion. We belong to the religion of all times; we belong to the Catholic religion. We do not belong to this universal religion, as they call it today. It is no longer the Catholic religion. We do not belong to this liberal and modernist religion, which has its own worship, its own priests, its own faith, its own catechisms, its own Bible, its own ecumenical Bible. We do not accept them; we do not accept the ecumenical Bible. There is no ecumenical Bible; there is the Bible of God, the Bible of the Holy Spirit, which was written under the influence of the Holy Spirit.”
“Of course, we would like to receive a blessing, as happened in the past, from the Holy See: blessings were imparted from Rome to the newly ordained. But we believe that the good Lord is present, that He sees everything, that He also blesses this ceremony we are celebrating, and that one day He will bring forth from it the fruits He certainly desires, and that He will undoubtedly help us to preserve our faith and protect the Church.”

@emiliepfrank If your version of Christianity promotes grave sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance, then you're not a Christian.

[Arcivescovo Carlo Maria Viganò @CarloMVigano]

Instead of acknowledging the devastating crisis facing the Catholic Church due to the conciliar and synodal revolution, Cardinal Müller—defying all reason—maintains that the post-Conciliar Hierarchy has never deviated from Tradition and that the Society of Saint Pius X is mistaken in asserting otherwise.

Müller proposes a renewed version of the motu proprio “Ecclesia Dei adflicta” to replicate the fraud of 1988, passing off fidelity to the immutable Magisterium as schism, while framing the acceptance of the Council’s errors as orthodoxy.

We have reached the point of “credo quia absurdum.”

The Conciliar and synodal Church claims the power to reshape reality, bending it to fit its own narrative. It demands uncritical and contradictory assent from the faithful, under pain of excommunication.

His Eminence believes that the clergy and laity associated with the Society can be appeased by being offered a substitute for what they already possess—much like tossing a bone to a chained dog.

Müller will soon discover—as will the members of the Ecclesia Dei institutes—that reducing the denunciation of the Conciliar coup to a mere ceremonial issue is a shortsighted, ideological choice, especially when the Hierarchy has no intention of yielding even slightly on the heretical principles it promotes.

Let him ask Fernández: one may haggle over the doctrine of Grace with Lutherans and bestow high honors upon an Anglican heretic, yet expressing the slightest reservation regarding the fetish of Vatican II is forbidden.

And yet, Müller maintains that the post-Conciliar Church has not strayed from the path of Tradition...

The pseudo-Catholic conservatism of these “gatekeepers” serves the implementation of synodality and must be scornfully rejected.

Once you realize that the Vatican is just as anti-western as your average leftist, you can't unsee it.

We are called to welcome hostile migrants who despise our religion and our civilization.

Pride Masses, no problem.
Pro-abortion, put them on the Pontifical Academy of Life.
Communion for adulterers, no problem.

All of these things are anti-western civilization and strike at the heart of procreation and the family.

Lavender mafia, no problem.

Liberation theology, communists, no problem in the Church now.

Eastern rites, no problem.
Chinese Communist selected bishops, no problem.
Pachamama, no problem
Praying with every other religion, no problem.

Nothing is a problem except the Catholicism of Christendom, the foundation of the West.

Once you realize that the Vatican is ruled by people who despise the west, it's traditions, it's wealth, it's history, and it's foundations...

The FSSP and your diocesan TLM only exist because the SSPX exists.
The FSSP has been waiting on a bishop for decades. And any bishop now can destroy your access to the TLM & no one in the Vatican cares.

When you understand that the Vatican agenda is anti-western then it will all make sense that only those who hold the same beliefs as those of Christendom are at risk of excommunication because they can't get a simple mandate for bishops to continue to serve a million faithful souls.

[FSSPX Actualités @FSSPXFR]

Nous reconnaissons le pouvoir de juridiction (régir et gouverner) du Pape et des évêques nommés par lui.

Nous prions sincèrement Dieu, tous les jours, à la sainte Messe : « Pour votre sainte Église catholique : daignez la pacifier, la conserver, l'unifier et la régir sur la terre entière, en union avec votre serviteur notre Pape Léon XIV, et avec l'évêque du diocèse…, ainsi qu'avec tous les fidèles et tous ceux qui professent la foi catholique et apostolique. »

Nous faisons de même lors de la bénédiction du Très-Saint-Sacrement et dans nos prières privées. Nous prions également « aux intentions du Souverain Pontife » afin de gagner les indulgences.

Nous plaçons dans nos églises, à la sacristie, un cadre portant le nom du Pape actuellement régnant et de l'évêque diocésain.

Nous recevons avec une entière soumission les enseignements du Pape actuel qui sont conformes à la doctrine de toujours. Par exemple : la condamnation de l'avortement et de la contraception, la prohibition du sacerdoce des femmes, ou encore la confirmation du célibat sacerdotal.

Il n'y a pas, de notre part, un refus systématique de soumission au Pape et aux évêques. Nous rejetons absolument toute intention, toute volonté ou tout esprit de schisme. Nous ne formons aucun parti « lefebvriste » ou « traditionaliste ». Nous sommes catholiques, apostoliques et romains.

Nous avons simplement le devoir de résister aux autorités ecclésiastiques lorsqu'elles tentent d'imposer à l'Église la messe nouvelle, la liberté religieuse, l'œcuménisme, la fraternité universelle, la collégialité ou la synodalité. Cette résistance est circonstancielle, temporaire et strictement limitée aux points sur lesquels les autorités s'éloignent de la doctrine de toujours.

Lorsque les autorités ecclésiastiques reviendront, sans condition, à enseigner et à faire ce que l'Église a toujours enseigné et fait, alors nous-mêmes — évêques, prêtres et fidèles —, ainsi que nos séminaires, nos maisons religieuses, nos églises, nos chapelles et nos écoles, seront entièrement à la disposition de ces mêmes autorités.

Dans cette attente, le meilleur service que nous puissions rendre à l'Église, au Pape et aux évêques est de résister et de poursuivre notre ministère sacerdotal, dans une entière fidélité à l'Église de toujours.

[Peter Kwasniewski @DrKwasniewski]

I appreciate Müller's parrhesia. He is not afraid to stand up and speak his mind; in a synodally-controlled, prefabricated meeting, that is all to the good.

However, it's tragic that Müller wants the SSPX to be met with a hammer rather than a sign of peace. It's far too late now, but if the pope had met with Pagliarani, discussed the situation, reviewed the proposed candidates, and granted permission, there would at least have been a real and practical relationship between the 99 sheep and the 1 "lost" sheep. The shepherd wouldn't have just let them wander off into the wilderness (I'm speaking, for the sake of argument, from the perspective of the Society's skeptics). A real personal relationship is worth more than a distant crossfire of documents.

But what it looks like now, according to Müller, is: "We condemn these thousands of priests and religious, and millions of faithful; and if any of them would like to come back, we'll make them sign off on accepting all of Vatican II and the new Mass as a precondition, even if we permit them to keep celebrating the old rite." This is the very definition of intransigent. What you see is the clash of two intransigencies, precisely the opposite of what Benedict XVI pleaded for.

Let me put it this way. Sure, you can raise objections to the SSPX. Their position is not bullet-proof. But Müller's approach is entirely one-sided, as if there has not been incredible confusion and chaos in the Church on earth for 60 years now. Postconciliar popes have often added to the mess by their sprawling documents, inadequate responses, silences, complicities, and scandalous actions (ecumania, Assisi, Koran-kissing, Abu Dhabi, Pachamama, etc.). The abuses of the liturgy have not been stamped out and the lacerations of reform are still bleeding. Pope Francis gave us 12 years of heresy and mafia crime. You'd think that any honest response to the SSPX would begin with a massive admission of collective guilt and a resolve to address precisely those issues that explain why the SSPX exists in the first place—reminiscent of the truly humble admissions of Pope Adrian VI at the time of the Reformation. But no, Müller responds as if all is normal in Rome and it's only the Society that gets Vatican II wrong. Good grief, it's so tone-deaf one hardly knows where to begin.

Lyon is the French city people overlook because Paris gets all the attention.

Then you walk through its old passageways, Roman ruins, riverfront streets, and food markets.

And you start to wonder why Lyon is not talked about as one of the best cities in Europe.

I've been in the Navy for 20 years. Traveled all over the world and gone to Catholic Masses all over Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, etc. Mass in the vernacular is fine in theory but in practice excludes the laity from the participation that V2 desired for the modernization of the Church.

Do you know what allowed me to participate in Mass from Singapore to France to Brazil to Japan?

Latin.

I knew the words in Latin and knew what they meant, and no matter what country or continent I was in, I could participate in the prayers and song. This is what makes the Church universal (katholikos).

Current Vatican treatment of SSPX is utterly appalling.
Everything this Pope has attempted to make himself out to be and supposedly stands for is being tossed to the wind.

If SSPX is punished for consecrating Bishops after all that has preceded the event, we will have committed by the Vatican and the person of Pope Leo XIV a monstrous bait-and-switch, a textbook case of detrimental reliance, of promissory estoppel. In Biblical terms, we have a son asking for fish and being given a serpent. A son asking for bread and being given a stone.

For 30 years the Vatican has incrementally recognized SSPX with cumulative rulings favorable to SSPX including praise by Pope Francis for SSPX "good faith and sacramental practice" and his granting to SSPX Priests a faculty no other Priests possess. So favorable in fact that SSPX has been effectively, if "irregularly", regularized.

The Popes and Vatican administration have encouraged SSPX growth to the point where quite logically and predictably SSPX needs Bishops to serve the faithful in the very capacity the Popes and Vatican set the faithful up to need.

Then, when the Vatican's documented encouragement resulted in obviously predictable growth and the commensurate need for Bishops occurred, SSPX in full recognition of Pope Leo and his office, made the formal request for the mandate, this Pope inconceivably, uncharitably and obscenely denied it and added insult to injury with his threats, treatment he doesn't give anyone else, even those who hate Jesus Christ, despise the Church, denigrate her Sacraments, reject his position and daily mock the doctrines and morals of the Catholic faith.

Clearly, this vile response if it happens will not be directed against just the SSPX clergy, but rather against the many Catholic faithful who have repeatedly been given by the Vatican permission and encouragement to attend SSPX chapels. I am one of them.

The reported "discipline" supposedly coming from the Vatican, if it comes off, will be intensely hypocritical, arbitrary, capricious and disgusting.
