P. DENIS PUGA: LETTER OF SUPPORT TO THE 7 DEANS
LETTER OF Fr. DENIS PUGA
To
the PPs David Aldalur, Xavier Beauvais, François-Xavier Camper, Bruno
France, Thierry Gaudray, Patrick de La Rocque, Thierry Legrand
Very dear brothers and deans:
With attention I have read your "Letter of the Deans" made public the past 7 May. As
a priest of the district, I would like to thank you sincerely for this
statement so clear and so strong that it will have the effect, I am
sure, to reassure our faithful as to the certainty of finding among the
priests of our dear Fraternity Saint Pius X the necessary help To
contract and celebrate their marriage in the spirit of combat carried
out by Monsignor Lefebvre, that is, in a spirit of unshakable fidelity
to the teaching of the Church.
The
decision of Pope Francis, made public by the Ecclesia Dei Commission
last April, and already widely commented on in the media, has caused
great concern among the faithful; They
fear that we will ask them from now on to submit themselves necessary
and solely to the decision of the local bishops to be able to validly
and lawfully exchange a marriage consent according to the traditional
rite.
The true, precise, faith-filled and canonically well supported argumentation of your letter will reassure and calm you. I have already received testimony. It is as true shepherds, concerned for the good and protection of the souls that God has entrusted to them, that you acted. In the present situation, speaking loudly, loudly and directly has become more necessary than ever; You did, and thank you very much for that.
I
particularly appreciate the conclusion of your letter, in which you
emphasize that the first step towards the granting of a possible
personal prelature that should preserve us as we are, paradoxically
consists in a willingness to submit the marriages of our faithful to
Ordinaries who do not have Nothing to object to the harmful teachings
and the disastrous decisions of Pope Francis on the sanctity of
marriage.
I
can assure you that many confreres in the district, with whom I have
had an opportunity to meet, share this feeling of gratitude. As one of them told me: "it is a beautiful text, clear and comforting by that vigor that we thought we would never hear again."
May the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to which Monsignor Lefebvre consecrated the Priestly Fraternity Saint Pius X, be our help. May Our Lord keep and protect you.
Father Denis PUGA
