Against Pseudo-Traditionalism: Archbishop Lefebvre on the Indulter's
By: The French Dominican Resistance
A Letter from Archbishop Lefebvre, regarding Indult Masses
Let us put this document in
context: It was written several months after “Operation Survival,” the
consecration of the four bishops on 30 June 1988, which was accomplished
not only without the approval of Pope John Paul II, but also against
his will. The Fraternity of St. Peter was created the day following the
consecrations, and conciliar Rome was busy trying to ‘pull in’ the more
or less traditional Catholics.
It is always good to reread
Archbishop Lefebvre, particularly in order to understand that beyond
some conciliatory steps and words towards the supreme authority (of the
Church), he was not fooled. He was well aware of the Fight for the
Faith that (unfortunately) it was necessary to lead against this
authority.
Here is the text of his letter [bold emphasis is added by us]:
Saint-Michel en Brenne, 18 March 1989
I am responding immediately to your kind letter which I received yesterday at Saint-Michel1, to tell you what I think about those priests who have received a “celebret” from the Roman Commission2 charged with dividing and destroying us.
It is evident that by
putting themselves in the hands of the current conciliar authorities,
they are implicitly accepting the Council and the ensuing reforms, even if they have received some privileges which remain exceptional and provisory.
Their speech is paralyzed because of this acceptance. The bishops are watching them! It is very regrettable that these priests are not aware of this reality. But we cannot fool the faithful.
The same may be said regarding
these “traditional Masses” organized by the dioceses. They are
celebrated between two conciliar masses. The celebrating priest says the
new as well as the old. How, and by whom is Holy Communion
distributed? What will the sermon be? etc.
These masses are scams which lead the faithful to compromise their principles! Many have already abandoned them.
What must change is their liberal and modernist doctrine. We must arm ourselves with patience and pray. God’s hour will come.
God’s blessings to you on this holy feast of Easter.
Best regards to you in Christ and Mary.
Abp. Lefebvre

Answer, No ...
Answer, No ...
Pseudo-traditional groups includes the neo-SSPX.
ReplyDeleteTony, Father MacDonald says it is okay to attend or not to attend the Society's Masses. He says that things are very confusing at this time. He himself is still a member of the SSPX and is helping the Resistance.
