Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre Quote on The Vatican II New Religion
Here is a great quote coming from Archbishop Lefebvre on exactly what we are up against.
Last Word
"Now they are guided by
other principles, by what is a truly other religion, absolutely. And
that is much more grave, again because, there where the faith
diminishes, one can hope to be able to revive it, to restore life, but
when one replaces one religion with another religion, then it is much
worse: in that case there are considerable consequences. And it is to
that that we currently assist. [...] I invite you to read a substantial
article at the back of Si Si No No which was released today; it is on
Cardinal Ratzinger. ["They Think They've Have Won!," part 5 August 1994
- Trans.] The author of the article, I don't know who because they
always use the corporate name so one cannot know, but finally, in any
case, the article is very well documented. He concludes here: Cardinal
Ratzinger is a heretic! ... What is so grave with Cardinal Ratzinger is
that he put in doubt the very truth of the Magisterium of the Church.
He puts in doubt that there could be a Magisterium which would be
permanent and definitive in the Church. This is not possible. He
attacks the very root of the teaching of the Church, of the teaching of
the Magisterium of the Church. There are no longer any permanent truths
in the Church, truths of the faith, and consequently no longer any
dogmas in the Church. That is radical; needless to say, it is
heretical! It is ghastly, but there it is! Then one can see the faith
going away, disappearing, and they say it in a more and more obvious
manner, more and more clearly. Then, in that case, it is we who are not
Catholic and they who are Catholic! Why? Because they have the
bishoprics ... this is not the reason! ... As St. Athanasius
said, "You have the church, we have the faith!... THEY have the
episcopal sees, WE have he faith! It is we who are Catholic, but that
is obvious!"
