  17. See the reviews of his work John Paul II's Theological Journey to the Prayer Meeting of Religions in Assisi appearing in Le Sel de la terre 5, 16, 22, and 46. In the first review, one sees the influence of the Assisi ceremony on the growing awareness of the new conciliar doctrine.
  18. Permanent secret instruction given to the members of the High Lodge (Alta Vendita) dated 1819. [English translation: Msgr. George F. Dillon, The War of Antichrist with the Church and Christian Civilization (Dublin; London; Burns and Oates, 1885) pp. 71-72] These documents of the High Lodge were published at the behest of Pope Pius IX by Jacques Crétineau-Joly in his book: L'Église romaine en face de la Révolution in 1859 (1st complete edition, Paris, Cercle de la Renaissance française, 1976, preface by Msgr. Lefebvre). By his brief of approbation on 25 February 1861 addressed to the author, Pius IX guaranteed the authenticity of the revealed documents. This brief is reproduced in Le Sel de la terre 28, spring 1999, p. 69.

  24. "The second document that was to prove important for the Church’s encounter with the modern age came into being almost by chance, and it developed in various phases. I am referring to the Declaration Nostra Aetate on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions." (Benedict XVI in Osservatore Romano of 11 October 2012).
  25. The relator explains that a principle was adopted: not to speak the whole truth, but only what unites the Church. This principle was widely applied afterwards to falsify the the meaning of Scripture, notably the phrase: "the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance." (Rom. 11:29). See « Le principe de partialité » in Le Sel de la terre 58, p. 10-11.
  26. On this question, reread the editorial of Sel de la terre 35: « Dominus Jesus et les éléments d'Église ». And notably the appendices: « Jugnet et les vérités gauchies » and « Le père Garrigou-Lagrange et la vérité servante ». One reads for example in the first text: "Judaism and Islam always insist on the unity of God (which is a truth) but they do it intentionally, in a unilateral manner, which excludes the Christian dogma of the Trinity—Luther insists on the fact that it is grace alone that justifies and, in its rough state, this formula is true. But, as far as he is concerned, it excludes the Catholic economy of the sacraments, etc."
  27. See Michel Laurigan, « Chronologie d'un engrenage », article in Le Sel de la terre 55 and brochure in Éditions du Sel.
  28. This traditional doctrine is contemptuously called the "theology of substitution" by its adversaries.
  29. Msgr. Henri Delassus, La Conjuration antichrétienne – Le Temple maçonnique voulant s'élever sur les ruines de l'Église catholique, t. 3, Lille, Desclée De Brouwer, 1910, p. 629 and following.
  30. "Unexpectedly, the encounter with the great themes of the modern epoch did not happen in the great Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et spes, but instead in two minor documents, whose importance has only gradually come to light in the context of the reception of the Council. First, there is the Declaration on Religious Liberty [Dignitatis humanæ]" (Benedict XVI in Osservatore Romano of 11 October 2012.)
  31. On this confrontation, see Le Sel de la terre 39, pp. 117-118.
  32. Benedict XVI, address to the Curia on 22 December 2005.
  33. Yves Marsaudon, L'Œcuménisme vu par un franc-maçon de tradition, éd. Vitiano, Paris, 1964, p. 121. The baron Marsaudon is a 33° Freemason, minister of the supreme Council of France of the R.E.A.A. (Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite).

  38. Cardinal Ratzinger, « Magisterium and theology », L’Osservatore romano, 10 June 1990. [translation from The Ratzinger Reader p. 216].
  39. The power of an obligatory and definitive truth revealed by God, something which is different from the mere will to force someone to comply with rules in the practical realm.
  40. "Here We must include that harmful and never sufficiently denounced freedom to publish any writings whatever and disseminate them to the people, which some dare to demand and promote with so great a clamor." (Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos, 15 August 1832). — "Men have a right freely and prudently to propagate throughout the State what things soever are true and honorable, so that as many as possible may possess them; but lying opinions, than which no mental plague is greater, and vices which corrupt the heart and moral life should be diligently repressed by public authority, lest they insidiously work the ruin of the State." (Leo XIII, Libertas præstantissimum, 20 June 1888)
  41. Blasphemous journal regularly attacking Our Lord, Our Lady, and the Church with horrible cartoons.
  42. See frère Pierre-Marie, « Bref examen critique de Unitatis Redintegratio » in L'Unité spirituelle du genre humain dans la religion de Vatican II – Études théologiques – Troisième Symposium de Paris, Paris, Vu de haut hors série, 2005, p. 163-192.
  43. See frère Pierre-Marie, « L'Unité de l'Église », La Tentation de laœcuménisme, Versailles, Courrier de Rome, 1999, and the editorial of Sel de la terre 35.
  44. See frère Pierre-Marie, « "Ayant l'esprit du Christ" ? », Le Sel de la terre 49 (summer 2004), p. 6.
  45. "Church doctrine is not a closed system: the Second Vatican Council teaches us that there is a development, meaning that it is possible to look into this further. I wonder if a deeper understanding similar to what we saw in ecclesiology, is possible: although the Catholic Church is Christ’s true Church, there are elements of ecclesiality beyond the institutional boundaries of the Church too. Couldn’t some elements of sacramental marriage also be recognised in civil marriages in certain cases? For example, the concept of  lifelong commitment, mutual love and care, Christian life and a public declaration of commitment that does not exist in common-law marriages [i.e., free unions—Ed.]." Vatican Insider, 18 September 2014.
  46. See Le Sel de la terre 43 (winter 2002-2003, p. 252). In a review on an article by Father de La Soujeole who defended the new conciliar theology on the Church, the reviewer wrote: "What our Dominican does not see either are the possible applications of his theory of the 'potential whole'. So, illegitimate unions (concubinage, 'trial marriage', unnatural union, etc.) could also be qualified as potential parts of marriage. Then why does the Church not bless them?".
  47. "It follows that the separated Churches and Communities as such, though we believe them to be deficient in some respects, have been by no means deprived of significance and importance in the mystery of salvation. For the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as means of salvation which derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Church." (UR 3, 4).
  48. "Now, among those things which the Church has always preached and will never cease to preach there is also contained that infallible statement by which we are taught that there is no salvation outside the Church." Letter of the Holy Office to the archbishop of Boston, 8 August 1949, DS 3866. — On this dogma, see Abbè François Laisney, « Le baptême de désir », in Le Sel de la terre 11 and 12; Hugon (père) Édouard, Hors de l'Église point de salut ?, Eguelshardt, Clovis, 1995 (review in Le Sel de la terre 14).
  49. "Bishops receive their actual jurisdiction not with the priestly ordination but, directly or indirectly, with the juridical mandate" (1st schema of Vatican I on the Church). See Le Sel de la terre 29, p. 41-44.
  50. Romano Amerio, Iota Unum: A Study of Changes in the Catholic Church in the XXth Century, Kansas City, Angelus Press, 2004, § 151.
  51. "Similarly the teaching of Canon law and of Church history should take into account the mystery of the Church, according to the dogmatic Constitution De Ecclesia [Lumen gentium] promulgated by this sacred synod. […] Sacred liturgy […] should be taught according to the mind of articles 15 and 16 of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy [Sacrosanctum Concilium]."
  52. The reader can fruitfully compare these two these two decrees with the two chapters of the schema on the Church that Cardinal Ottaviani proposed on the same subject. (See: « Les religieux et les laïcs dans l'Église » in Le Sel de la terre n° 31, winter 1999-2000, p. 6-25.). Between the two chapters of the schema and the two Decrees is the distance that separates the Catholic Church from the Conciliar Church.
  53. The word "perfection" is employed once in a citation of saint Paul to designate charity ("bond of perfection") and the word "sanctity" once for characterizing the contemplatives who lend "luster to the people of God which is inspired by their example". The expression "religious state" only appears once, at the end of the document.
  54. Whereas the old 1917 code divided people into three categories (clerics, religious, laity), the new code of 1983 – applying Vatican II – divides the « People of God » (sic) into three groups ordered thus: the faithful of Christ, the hierarchical constitution of the Church, and the institutes of consecrated life (in which the religious are diluted).
  55. "That all the members be more closely knit by the bond of brotherly love, those who are called lay-brothers, assistants, or some similar name should be drawn closely in to the life and work of the community.  Unless conditions really suggest something else, care should be taken that there be only one class of Sisters in communities of women." (§ 15).
  56. "Therefore let constitutions…be suitably re-edited and…adapted to the Decrees of this sacred Synod." (§ 3).
  57. "The religious habit…should be…suited to the circumstances of time and place and to the needs of the ministry involved. The habits of both men and women religious which do not conform to these norms must be changed." (§ 17).
  58. Certainly clerics can abuse the superiority they have because of their clerical state. There can be a reprehensible clericalism. But it is one thing to battle against the abuse of a legitimate hierarchy and another thing to want to suppress this hierarchy.
  59. One reads in this same § 7: "All those things which make up the temporal order, namely, the good things of life and the prosperity of the family, culture, economic matters, the arts and professions, the laws of the political community, international relations, and other matters of this kind, as well as their development and progress, not only aid in the attainment of man's ultimate goal but also possess their own intrinsic value." Certainly natural realities have a (natural) value, but the principal value of these goods is to serve as a means to the supernatural end!
  60. See the dossier on the Syllabus appearing in Le Sel de la terre 90 (autumn 2014).
  61. Cardinal Ratzinger, Les Principes de la théologie catholique, Paris, Téqui, 1985, p. 426-427. This book was reedited without changes in 2005, after the election of the author to the Sovereign Pontificate, with a preface by Cardinal Poupard.
  62. French anti-liberal prelate of XIXth century.
  63. Liberty, equality, fraternity.

  66. In reality, there is no longer "dignity of man" after original sin; there is only dignity of man regenerated by grace, i.e., of a Christian.
  67. Fideliter, no. 94, p. 7.  Compare GS 12 with the second part of the "principle and foundation" of Saint Ignatius (Spiritual Exercises, no. 23B).
  68. See Pius VI, Quod Aliquantulum of 10 March 1791, which refutes and condemns the Declaration of the Rights of Man of 1789.

  70. On the question of the rights of men, see abbé Guillaume Devillers, « L'idéologie des droits de l'homme » in Le Sel de la terre 30 (autumn 1999), p. 56-61; text republished and improved in his book Politique chrétienne available from Éditions du Sel.
  71. "…the plague which now infects society. We refer to the plague of anti-clericalism, its errors and impious activities." (Pius XI, Quas Primas, 11 December 1925).
  72. The Book of the Apocalypse (Ap 13) predicts that the "Beast of the earth", a pseudo-Church, will serve the "Beast of the sea", i.e., the satanic world government.  See Josef Pieper, De la Fin des temps, Éditions Ad Solem, 2013, p. 96-97; Fr. R-Th. Calmel O.P., « de l'Antéchrist » in Itinéraires 111, March 1967, p. 156.
  73. § 48, 1 and 50, 1.  See also § 49 on conjugal love placed before § 50 on the fecundity of marriage.  This inversion was promulgated by the new Code of Canon Law: CIC 1983, can. 1055, § 1.
  74. In the table of contents of the editions of Centurion, at the word "democracy", one reads: "The word is not employed in the conciliar documents, but one does find there the affirmation of its exigencies."  See above, p. 10, with the note.
  75. This doctrine is to be found in : A Treatise on the True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, by saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort

  98. Pius XII, Lenten pastoral instruction to the priests and preachers of Rome, 17 February 1945, AAS 37 (1945), p. 39.
  99. Saint Pius X was the first, it seems, to have spoken of “the active participation in the sacrosanct mysteries and in the public and solemn prayer of the Church” in his Motu proprio Tra le sollicitudine on sacred music (22 November 1903) where he encouraged Gregorian chant: “it is necessary to reestablish Gregorian chant in the use of the people, so that the faithful may again take a more active part in the ecclesiastical office, as in ancient times.” This is far from the guitar masses that followed the Council.
  100. See Abbé Franz Schmidberger, « La protestantisation du concil Vatican II », Autorité et réception du concile Vatican II — 4e Symposium de Paris 2005, Vu de haut hors série, Paris, 2006, p. 208-210.

Incomplete, because it does not take sufficiently into account the living character of Tradition, which, as the Second Vatican Council clearly taught, 'comes from the apostles and progresses in the Church with the help of the Holy Spirit. […]'"
  103. Benedict XVI, 22 December 2005, address to the curia: "On the other [hand], there is the 'hermeneutic of reform', of renewal in the continuity of the one subject-Church which the Lord has given to us. She is a subject which increases in time and develops, yet always remaining the same, the one subject of the journeying People of God."
  104. Father Brandler SSPX, in his study [published by Le Sel de la terre 7, 10 and 12] "De Dei Filius à Dei Verbum: un progrès?" (From Dei Filius to Dei Verbum: a progress?), remarks that the text of DV favors three errors: — The negation, or even the confusing, of the natural and supernatural orders (DV 6); — The faith viewed as a sentiment, a trust, and not as an intellectual knowledge (DV 5); — The Holy Scripture which is no more a «myth»: a way to think that it is not without any error (DV 19).
  105. DV 22: "And should the opportunity arise and the Church authorities approve, if these translations are produced in cooperation with the separated brethren as well, all Christians will be able to use them."

  107. See Pius XII, Mystici Corporis, 29 June 1943.
  108. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Church, Ecumenism, & Politics: New Endeavors in Ecclesiology, Ignatius Press, 2008, p. 24: "Some (German theologians) wondered (in the 1930s) whether the image of the Mystical Body was not too narrow as a point of departure to define the manifold forms of affiliation with the Church that have actually existed in the confusion of human history. The image of the Body provides only one notion of affiliation, that of the 'member'; someone is a member or else he is not, and there are no intermediate degrees. Yet—people asked—is this image not too restrictive precisely in its point of departure, since there are quite obviously intermediate degrees?  So they hit on the expression 'People of God', which in this respect is roomier and more flexible.  The Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium  adopted it for this very purpose when it described the situation of non-Catholics who wrongly claim to be “Christians”, by saying that they are somehow 'joined' (coniunctio) to the Catholic Church and and those not even claiming to be Christians by saying that they are 'related' (ordinatio) to the Church; in both instances, the document relies on the idea of the People of God (nos. 15 and 16)."
  109. See Pius XII, Mystici Corporis, 29 June 1943: "…this true Church of Jesus Christ—which is the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church" (Humani generis repeats this affirmation and makes it obligatory: Dz 2319, absent from DS).
  110. On this and the following question, see the note by Cardinal Larraona published in Msgr. Lefebvre, I Accuse the Council!, Kansas City, Angelus Press, 1998, p. 51, 55: "From being monarchical, the Church becomes episcopalian and collegiate, and this by divine right and by virtue of the episcopal consecration. […] if the doctrine proposed in the schema were true, the Church would have been living in direct opposition to divine law for centuries!"
  111. See Pius XII, encyclical Ad Apostolorum Principis of 29 June 1958, which refers to the encyclicals Mystici Corporis (1943) and Ad Sinarum Gentem (1954).
  112. See Sì Sì No No, 31 January 2013, which adds: "The body of bishops is thus not a stable and permanent group who with Peter and under him has the supreme power of teaching and governing the whole Church.  As one can see, collegiality is closely related, even if it is more attenuated or mitigated, to conciliarism and theological Gallicanism."
  113. Article 7 of the Institutio Generalis of the new mass according to the typical edition of 1969 [English translation]. See also Daniel Raffard de Brienne, Lex Orandi, lex credendi - La Nouvelle Messe et la Foi, 1983 (available on the site of the Latin portal, or in number 107, May-June 1984, of Lecture et Tradition): "The supper (a protestant word) or mass is thus uniquely the assembly of the people of God; the priest is only a presider; a work of the community, the Supper is only the celebration of the memorial of the Lord; according to the second phrase, the presence of Christ, purely spiritual, is accomplished by the assembly.  Luther spoke no differently."

  125. "Cardinal Tisserant received formal orders to negotiate the agreement and supervise its exact execution during the Council. Each time that a bishop would raise the question of communism, the cardinal, from his table where he presided, would intervene" (Msgr. Roche, Itinéraires 285, p. 157). There was in 1962 an agreement between the Vatican and Moscow according to which, in exchange for the presence at the Council of schismatic Russian observers, it would refrain from speaking of communism. See on this subject Le Sel de la terre 53 (summer 2005), p. 68-70; Le Sel de la terre 62 (autumn 2007), p. 189-194; Jean Madiran, «L'accord Rome-Moscou», Itinéraires n° 280, February 1984 and n° 285 of July-August 1984, p. 151-160; Sì sì no no, 15 September 1984.
  126. "The Jews, held after almost twenty centuries in the margin of Christian society, often treated as subordinate, enemies, and decides—demanded their complete rehabilitation. Issuing directly from the Abrahamic stock, from where Christianity came, they asked to be considered like brothers, partners of equal dignity, of the Christian Church."

  128. "During the last council session, the bishop of Monaco, Msgr. Rupp, in a very short discourse, asked that the Council be content with taking up these seven requests and of confirming them with its own authority […]. In reality, the Council did not do it. Not only did it make these seven requests its own, in equivalent terms, but it solidly justified them […]." Msgr. Willebrands, in Vatican II – La liberté religieuse, collection Unam Sanctam, Paris, Cerf, 1967, p. 241-242.
  129. Cardinal Ratzinger, interview with the monthly Jesus, November 1984, p. 72: "The problem with the 1960s was to acquire the best expressed values of two centuries of 'liberal' culture.  There are values that, even if they are born outside of the Church, can find their place—purified and corrected—in its vision of the world.  This is what was done."  The cardinal only specifies what the Council itself said: "This council, first of all, wishes to assess in this light [of the faith] those values which are most highly prized today and to relate them to their divine source.  Insofar as they stem from endowments conferred by God on man, these values are exceedingly good.  Yet they are often wrenched from their rightful function by the taint in man's heart, and hence stand in need of purification." (GS 11,2) [www.vatican.va translation].
  130. John XXIII, Gaudet Mater Ecclesia, 11 October 1962, DC 1383 (4 November 1962): "While it [the Council] focuses the Church's chief energies and earnestly strives to have people accept more favorably the message of salvation, it is, as it were, preparing and consolidating the path that can bring about that unity of the human race" [Komonchak translation §20].

  133. This text was written before Vatican II Council.  Today, we must be precise: "a traditional priest validly ordained".  We know that there is a doubt on the validity of the new rite of priestly ordination (look at the letter of Archbishop Lefebvre on our website).  There is also a doubt about the validity of the ordinations performed by conciliar bishops, even when they use the traditional rite.  In his sermon of the consecration of four bishops (June 30, 1988), Archbishop Lefebvre said: "If God calls me, from whom will these seminarians receive the priestly ordination: from conciliar bishops whose sacraments are ALL doubtful?

We can make an exception for the new rite of Confirmation that permits the use of oils other than olive oil, which introduces a doubt concerning the validity, by reason of a defect of matter.  We also point out that Fr Alvaro Calderon (SSPX), in the Spanish language review Si Si No No (#267, November 2014), speaks of a “slight doubt,” a “shadow” concerning the validity of the new rite of episcopal consecration in itself (see Le Sel de la terre 92, p. 172).

Even today, one can find good illustrated lives of the saints.

  187. Let us recall the context:  On November 11th, 1974, two Roman envoys visit the Ecône seminary, provoking the Archbishop’s famous declaration of November 21, 1974;  the 25th of January, 1975, Archbishop Lefebvre is summoned before a tribunal of three cardinals (Tabera, Wright and Garrone);  the 6th May Bishop Mamie retracts the canonical approbation granted by his predecessor, and the same day three cardinals second this decision with the consent of Paul VI;  on the 24th and 25th of May the pilgrimage takes place.
  188. “I fear the Greeks, even when they are bearing gifts”. These words were put in the mouth of Laocoön by Virgil in his Aeneid at the moment when the Trojans caught sight of the famous Horse…
  189. “The talks and meetings with Cardinal Ratzinger and his collaborators, even though they took place in an atmosphere of courtesy and charity, have convinced us that the time for a frank and efficacious collaboration has not yet arrived” (Letter of Archbishop Lefebvre to John Paul II, 2 June 1988).

    1. The sermon of Father de la Rocque (SSPX) of 6 September 2015, in which he said he did not want to participate in the Holy Year, was removed within 24 hours from the La Porte Latine website (website of the SSPX French District).

    2. The book by François-Xavier Péron entitled Le Synode sur la famille.  La Révolution du pape François (The Synod on the Family – Pope Francis’ Revolution), has been forbidden from being sold in the priories of the Society of Saint Pius X in France, whereas the book relates facts and texts in an objective manner and in a measured tone, is prefaced by Father Antoine (Superior of the Capuchins of Morgon, France) and whereas several priests of the Society of Saint Pius X collaborated in it, as well as Father Joseph, Capuchin, formerly Father Régis de Cacqueray (one time Society of Saint Pius X District Superior of France, before entering the Capuchins at Morgon, France).

  193. The Editorial of Le Sel de la Terre 92 was devoted to “The Importance of the principles”.  The text was reproduced in an abridged form in our Letter to Friends and Benefactors n° 20 (September 2015 ; on this Website).  In it, the following is notably affirmed: “The principles, even those which are practical, remain unchangeable”.  “One cannot say this without further qualification. Otherwise there would be confusion”, we read in the Courrier de Rome (June 2015, p.7).  But the confusion comes, rather, from the fact that the author of the latter article uses the word “principle” to designate the Minor of the syllogism, which is the principle of the conclusion.   But to speak in this manner is to give another meaning to the word “principle”.   In order to designate this Minor, Saint Thomas Aquinas (in the article quoted above) uses more correctly the word “primum” (which can be translated as “premise”) rather than “principle” (“principium”), according to the better editions (the Leonine Edition – which can be found on the website www.corpusthomisticum.org/ - and the edition, in French, of Father Pègues from 1925.  Only the Major of the syllogism of prudence can be called “practical principle”.
  194. See the previous note.
  195. Fr Vayssière is here speaking to Dominican tertiaries, whose patron saint is saint Catherine of Siena.
  196. Father Garrigou-Lagrange, relying on Billuart, says in his treatise De Verbo Incarnato that a heretical pope, while not being a member of the Church, may exceptionally continue to be the head.  Indeed, it is impossible in the case of a physical head, it is possible (while being abnormal) for a secondary moral head (See text attached below).
  197. Dissertatio de romani pontificis auctoritate super propositionem 29 damnatam ab Alexandro VIII.
  198. Dissertatio de romani pontificis auctoritate ..., p. 665 in the Jules JACQUES edition, 1869.
  199. All these authors agree on the fact that an occult heretical pope continues to be head of the Church. Some, like Cajetan, think that a heretic occult continues to be a member of the Church, so there is no difficulty. Others, like Father Garrigou think that an occult heretic ceases to be a member of the Church. Hence the difficult to be solved. (Ed.)
  200. This book edited in France by DPF (Chiré-en-Montreuil) in 1975 has in fact not been marketed at the request, it seems, of the author. Some copies were circulated and the book is still considered a serious reference.
  201. Decretal of Boniface VIII (in 6th), 1. 1, T. 7, cap. 1 De Renunciatione. In the Code of Canon Law of 1917, the Canon 221 says: “If it happens that the Roman Pontiff resigns from his office, neither the acceptance of the Cardinals, nor any other acceptance is necessary for the validity this renunciation.”
  202. We did not find this passage in the 1st Letter of St. Clement to the Corinthians, the only one considered authentic today.
  203. We must add : as long as the Vicar of Jesus-Christ is faithful to the infallible teaching of his predecessors.

  250. In these times of disorder and confusion, the following teachings may be useful for those who are in the position to raise Catholic families: Pope Leo XIII reminded us in his Encyclical Arcanum (Feb. 10, 1880): "The husband is the chief of the family and the head of the wife. The woman…must be subject to her husband and obey him; not indeed, as a servant, but as a companion, so that her obedience shall be wanting in neither honor nor dignity.  Since the husband represents Christ, and since the wife represents the Church, let there always be, both in him who commands and in her who obeys, a heaven-born love guiding both in their respective duties" (See Eph. 5:22-33).  Later, in Casti Connubii (Dec. 31, 1930), Pope Pius XI proclaimed this order of the family as unchangeable and constituted by God: "…this subjection of wife to husband in its degree and manner may vary according to the different conditions of persons, place and time.… But the structure of the family and its fundamental law, established and confirmed by God, must always and everywhere be maintained intact."

  264. It means: understood firstly as a meditation and contemplation of the Mysteries of the life of Our Lord. (Note of the Editor.)
  265. That’s why it is the Rosary which keeps the faith of so many people all around the world today, especially in the poor countries, in spite of the crisis in the Church. That’s why, too, Our Lady insisted so much in Fatima on the DAILY recitation of the Rosary. (Note of the Editor.)
  266. His acts are therefore devoid of all authority, magisterial as well as canonical; as a result, it can be seen how it is not impossible that the acts of Paul VI are contrary to the Catholic Faith and incompatible with pontifical authority, and that to affirm it is not on any way denying the prerogatives of a pope, in particular his infallibility and his universal and immediate jurisdiction. – However, this proof says nothing about the person of Paul VI, because the intention that is denied him is not his personal intention (finis operantis, which remains out of the picture) but the objective intention that is usually imminent to his actions (finis operis). It therefore does not allow it to be affirmed that Paul VI is personally outside the Catholic Church for reason of a sin of heresy or schism (note from the defender of the “thesis”).
  267. Sedevacantist Argument of Fr. B.: 1.  The Universal Magisterium of the Roman Pontiff, alone or with the bishops united to him in the council, is infallible. 2.  Now, Paul VI, alone and in the council, exercised such a magisterium by all appearances; John Paul II, who carries on the work, also. 3.  By all appearances, their teaching is therefore infallible. 4.  Now, a contradiction exists between the content of that which they teach or prescribe for the Universal Church, and the doctrine defined before in an irreformable manner. 5.  Given that proposal #1 is of faith, the conclusion is forced: the teaching of Vatican II promulgated and applied by Paul VI and confirmed by John Paul II is not the teaching of the Church, and neither Paul VI nor John Paul II can be recognized as popes.
  268. This is a fictitious discussion, written in a conversational style.

  270. “During these past few years, many among you had recourse to Archbishop Lefebvre as a suppletive authority. As a matter of fact, he was more of a Father, adviser, and friend than an authority in the legal meaning of this term. [...] It is in this same spirit of service that Bishop Fellay will take care of this office, not as a member of the Society of St Pius X, but as a Catholic Bishop. Each and every one of your communities is free to call on him, or not. Neither he, nor the Society, has any intention to get their hands on the other communities in any way.” (Rev. Fr. Franz Schmidberger, the then Superior General, to the traditional monasteries and convents in a circular letter dated 27th May 1991, i.e. only two months after the Archbishop’s death)
  271. Hence a dubbing on October 18th, 2014 at the National Shrine of Our Lady la Naval of Manila, erected in remembrance of the Filipino-Spanish “Lepanto” against Dutch Protestants in 1646. As a matter of fact, the dubbing of Br. Antonio Malaya Jr. had been refused at the SSPX church, where eight dubbings had taken place in 2010. He had however been the one who brought back to Catholic Tradition Bishop Lazo (later a Prelate of our Order), and obtained the public consecrations of over a score of Provinces and Administrations, and even of the Office of First Lady of the Philippines by the First Lady herself in that very church of Our Lady of Victories of Manila.
  272. “The partisans of error are to be sought not only among the Church’s open enemies, but, what is more dreaded and deplored, in Her very bosom, and are the more mischievous the less they keep in the open. [...] Nor indeed would he be wrong in regarding them as the most pernicious of all adversaries of the Church.” (Encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 1907)

  281. The misfortunes of the Franciscans of the Immaculate, forbidden from celebrating the Traditional Mass, against the very letter of this famous Motu Proprio, should moderate any enthusiasm which might exist. These events show clearly what “favours” granted by those people whom Archbishop Lefebvre used to call the “assassins of the Faith” (letter to the Father Prior of Avrillé, 7th January, 1991) are worth.

  289. The leaders of the GREC already thought that not everybody would follow.
  290. The word is printed with a small “t” in the book.
  291. Remember the agreement made by the Benedictine monastery of Le Barroux, France, with Rome in 1988. Dom Gérard (then superior of Le Barroux) had obtained “guarantees”, generously granted by Cardinal Ratzinger: “That no doctrinal or liturgical counterpart be demanded from us and that no silence be imposed on our anti-modernist preaching” (Présent, 18th August, 1988). We know what happened afterwards.
  292. A characteristic of the crisis currently shaking Tradition is to hear those who continue to hold the line of Archbishop Lefebvre and are opposed to a practical agreement without a doctrinal agreement with today’s Rome being called sedevacantist or men of a schismatic spirit, who have no Faith in the Church.
  293. Here we have simply condensed in a few short lines the excellent article of Adrien Loubier, “Les voies de la réduction”, published in the Bulletin de l’Occident chrétien in June, 1991. It deserves to be read in its entirety, pencil in hand. Also worth reading (by the same author) is the book Groupes réducteurs et noyaux dirigeants, prefaced by Marcel de Corte and published by Éditions Sainte-Jeanne d’Arc (les Guillots, 18260 Villegenon, France). Priests, laypeople and bishops must imperatively study the methods of the Revolution so as not to fall naively into its traps.

  311. With Pope Francis, we have descended even lower. On October 13, 2013, the Immaculate Heart of Mary was not even named in the consecration formula: the Pope consecrated « mankind » […] to « the Virgin of Fatima » (ORLF 42, Thursday, Oct. 17, 2013, p. 8-9).

They have not ceased, in effect, to seek out new adepts, group them together into an association, and to inoculate with them, in the veins of Christian society, the poison of their opinions, by the publication of books and brochures of which they keep quiet or dissimulate the names of their authors."

  344. The Popes saw clearly.

"That would be a ridiculous dream; and in whatever way the events turn out, if Cardinals or prelates, for example, of their own free will or surprise, should enter into a part of our secrets, this is not at all an incentive for desiring their elevation to the See of Peter. That elevation would ruin us. Ambition alone would have led them to apostasy, the requirements of power would force them to sacrifice us. What we must ask for, what we should look for and wait for, as the Jews wait for the Messiah, is a Pope according to our needs...." (Instruction of the Alta Vendita, 1819).

  354. We should note the pretention of the new code to present the "real image" (sic) of the Church, which it had without a doubt not known or dissimulated until now as an "image", a model of the church which is besides "an essentially new thing"! Which is worse here, the incoherence or the audacity?

  361. Regarding the differences, Menzingen emphatically underlines “some hundreds of journalists from around the world” that were present in 1988.  Visibly, for Bishop Fellay this is very important.  We need to ask him about the journalists -in his opinion- were they present for the first episcopal consecration on the night of Holy Thursday.
