Great advice from His Excellency,
Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre
A great reminder from the Archbishop on the proper disposition we ought have in this dire time of the Church's crisis. Let us continue to correct and admonish clergy and laity in the proper fashion.
"We should pray also for the faithful who maintain Tradition that they may always preserve a strong, firm attitude, but not an attitude for contempt for persons, insult to persons, insult to bishops.
We have the advantage of possessing the truth - we are not at fault -
just as the Church has the superiority over error of having the truth: that superiority is hers. Because we have the conviction that we are upholding the truth, that the truth must make headway, that truth must convince, it is not our person. It is not outbursts of anger, or insults to people, which will give added weight to truth. On the contrary, that could cast doubt upon our possession of the truth. Becoming angry and insulting shows that we do not completely trust in the weight of truth, which is the weight of God Himself.
It is in God that we trust, in Truth which is God, which is our Lord
Jesus Christ. What can be surer than that? Nothing. And little by little
that truth makes, and will make, its way. It must. So let us resolve
that in our expressions and attitudes we shall not despise and insult
people, but be firm against error - absolutely firm, without compromise,
without relaxation, because we are with our Lord. It is a question of
our Lord Jesus Christ. The honor of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glory
of the Blessed Trinity is at stake, not the infinite glory in heaven,
but the glory here below on earth. It is truth; and we defend it at any cost, whatever happens." - Excerpts from the book, A Bishop Speaks, A Talk to the Seminarians in Econe, pg. 193
