Erroneous
Vision
A leader of the
Society seems to think
That Rome will
make it float. 'Twill make it sink!
Fr. Franz Schmidberger, former Superior General of the
Society of St Pius X from 1982 to 1994 and present Rector of the Society’s
German Seminary in Zaitzkofen, Bavaria, has recently put into circulation
“Considerations on the Church and on the Society’s position within the Church.”
In three pages firmly promoting the acceptance by the Society from Pope Francis
of a Personal Prelature which would bring the Society back into the official
Church underneath the Pope, Fr Schmidberger shows a very inadequate grasp of
the problem in Conciliar Rome, hardly mentioning Vatican II.
He begins by presenting the Catholic Church as
containing human and fallible elements which required Archbishop Lefebvre to
found in 1970 the SSPX to save the priesthood, the Mass and the Social Kingship
of Christ the King. In 1975 the SSPX was condemned by the official Church, but
it thrived. The consecration of four Society bishops in 1988 manifested the
contradiction between Rome and the SSPX, but the Archbishop still strove, after
as before, for a solution. From 2000 Romans, honest or dishonest, also sought
for a solution. Now in 2016 they are easing up on their demands for the SSPX to
accept the Council and the New Mass.
COMMENT: This
is a relatively superficial view of the utterly radical attack launched against
the Faith and Truth itself by Freemasonic churchmen during and after Vatican
II. Fr. Schmidberger sees merely misguided Roman churchmen whose coming to
their Catholic senses can be seriously helped forward if only the SSPX is officially
recognized. Does he have any idea of that leprosy of the modernist mind which
the SSPX would much more likely catch than cure if it went in with these
Romans?
Secondly, Fr Schmidberger presents half a dozen
arguments in favour of accepting the Personal Prelature. The SSPX must regain
normality. It must not by its present “exile” lose the sense of the Church.
Doors would open in Rome. The SSPX urgently needs Rome’s permission to
consecrate more bishops. A good sign is the anxiety of some modernists at the
prospect of the SSPX’s normalization. And finally, how else can the Church’s
present crisis be solved than by the SSPX coming out of its “exile” and
converting the Romans?
COMMENT: The
SSPX convert these Romans? What an illusion! Again, Fr Schmidberger has little
to no idea of the deep perversion of modernism which he is up against. It is
not “normal” for Catholics to submit to modernists. “Exile” need not mean loss
of the sense of the Church. No important doors would open in Rome. The Faith does
not need bishops approved by modernists. Any anxious modernists are naive – the
real modernists know that they will convert the Society and not the other way
round, once they can close the trap. And finally the Church crisis will
certainly not be solved by a deluded SSPX joining Rome, but only by God, whose
arm is not shortened by the wickedness of men (Isaiah, LIX, 1).
Finally, Fr Schmidberger answers some objections: Pope
Francis may not be a good Pope, but he has the jurisdiction to normalize the
SSPX. The opinion of the “Resistance” does not matter since it has no sense of
the Church and is divided. The SSPX will not be muzzled because Rome will
“accept it as it is” (illusion), nor will it lose its identity, because with
God’s help it will convert Rome (illusion). Nor will it fail to resist like all
other Traditional Congregations have failed that have gone in with Rome,
because it is Rome that is begging while the SSPX is choosing (illusion), and
because the SSPX has resistant bishops (illusion), and because it will be given
a Personal Prelature (to bring it under modernists).
COMMENT: In
other words the Roman trap will be lined with cushions. What a series of
illusions! Poor SSPX! Let us pray for the saving of whatever can still be saved
of it.
Kyrie eleison.

Divine Solution
For twenty little ticks, Heaven is mine.
A Catholic must be crazy to decline!
The last two issues of these “Comments” concluded that
in today’s confusion in the Universal Church, descending from Popes possessed
by Revolutionary ideals, Catholics
should turn to God for God’s own solution, because he cannot abandon souls that
have not first abandoned him. This solution exists, not complicated,
accessible to all, guaranteeing eternal salvation, requiring only a little
faith, humility and effort. It is the Devotion to the Sorrowful and Immaculate
Heart of Mary by the practice of the Five First Saturdays, in a spirit of
reparation for the insults, blasphemies and outrages committed against the
Mother of God.
Why reparation to the Blessed Virgin Mary? Because
God, knowing from eternity how perverse the world would become towards its end,
gave to his Mother, as St. Grignion de Montfort foresaw in the 18th century, a
special motherly part to play from the upheaval of the French Revolution (1789)
onwards. Through the 19th century she was indeed able, for instance through
Lourdes, to reach a multitude of souls that liberalism and scientism could
otherwise have damned, but by the 20th century too many souls were spurning
even her motherly care. So as God had given to his Church in the 17th century
the Devotion to his own Sacred Heart, so in the 20th century he gave the
Devotion to his Mother’s Immaculate Heart, with the warning to mankind that
this would be his last such gift before world’s end. And insults being for him
worse to his Mother than to himself, then men’s spurning of her special efforts
to save them called for special reparation.
She herself from May to October of 1917 in Fatima,
Portugal, presented her Heart as the remedy for the ills of mankind which were
about to be made much worse by the outbreak of the Russian Revolution that same
October. And as the world plunged downhill in the 1920’s, to the point where
today countless Catholics are holding onto their faith only by their
fingertips, she gave to any soul a sure and easy means of ensuring its eternal
salvation if only it will take, for once in its life, a little trouble on her
behalf: to make reparation on five first Saturdays of the month successively
for outrages against 1) her Immaculate Conception, 2) her perpetual Virginity,
3) her universal spiritual Motherhood, 4) her images and statues and 5) the
little children being cut off from access to her. Press HERE to see the attached flyer for precise details.
The offer of so much in exchange for so relatively
little is incredible, but as the flyer says, it makes sense. God has known from
eternity all the chaos now closing in on us in which the Fifth Age of the
Church is drawing to its close. We are losing our health, our families, our
freedom, our countries, our priests , our sacraments, our Church, and soon very
possibly our lives. Our world is sinking into a chaos organized by the enemies
of God to wipe out the last traces of him. All this of course he knows, and the
growing difficulty, even seeming impossibility, of leading Catholic lives.
Therefore he offers us the guarantee of salvation if we will make just a little
effort to make reparation to his Mother. Thereafter we may go crazy, go to
prison, go to our deaths, even lose the faith, but at the moment of death we
have God’s promise that she will be there with all graces necessary for
salvation. How can any believing Catholic not take up on the offer? There are
certainly priests in all parts of the Church who will do their best to help.
But the least we can do for our part is fulfill exactly
what Heaven requests, notably the five distinct intentions of reparation, and
here is where the flyer must help. Ordered in bulk on paper from the Fatima
Centre in Canada, or downloaded on paper, it presents 20 little boxes to tick
for the diagonal climb from modern storm to Heavenly calm. Children love
ticking boxes. It does no harm to adults. All aboard for Heaven!
Kyrie eleison.
