Paolo Gabriele, Benedict-Ratzinger's own bulter, got so sick of the crimes that he saw being perpetrated by Ratzinger in the Apostolic Palace that he turned whistleblower. He exposed Ratzinger for his involvement in corruption, contract fraud, money-laundering, and other crimes by giving the Italian press "secret" documents that proved Ratzinger's involvement in the crimes.
And how did Ratzinger react to the revelations? Did he protest his innocence of the crimes? No. Did he take steps to correct the illegalities? No. Like a petty papal potentate of the 15th century, he had the whistleblower arrested within the walls of his minuscule "country" of Vatican City, granted him by Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini in 1929. The Italians, on the other hand, would have called Gabriele a hero and given him the key to the City of Rome!
The latest scandal of Ratzinger's Newpapacy, known as "Vatileaks," involves one of Newpope's closest associates, the Papal Butler, who serves in the apartments of the Apostolic Palace, waits on the papal tables, hands rosaries to visiting dignitaries, and rides in the first seat of the "popemobile." As an intimate member of Ratzinger's household, he is privy first hand to all of the criminal activities in which Ratzinger has been involved.
Already the Mayor of Vatican City, Newarchbishop Carlo Vigano, publicly blew the whistle on Ratzinger and gave documents to the Italian press in January-February 2012, after he had given Ratzinger a year to root out the crimes. Ratzinger did nothing, so Vigano turned over the documents to the public. Consequently, Vigano was transferred from his Newvatican post and exiled to become Papal Nuncio across the Atlantic Ocean in Washington, D.C. These documents too exposed a web of corruption, nepotism, and cronyism led by Ratzinger.
The Italian media believe that the butler is just a scapegoat. In reality, many top officials in the Newvatican Secretariat of State are sick and tired of Ratzinger's Newpapacy, filled as it is with corruption and crime. Enough "secret" documents have been provided literally to fill a book. During the week of May 20, 2012, Italian TV journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi published a book entitled Sua Santita [His Holiness], evaluating the hundreds of "secret" Newvatican documents revealing the "dark site" of the Unholy Father.

Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
If you were shipwrecked on a desert island and allowed one piece of music to listen to, what would it be and why?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
We have no hesitation in selecting Johann Sebastian Bach's High Mass in B Minor. Not only was it written by the greatest of composers, but its two hours of sublime content would form the basis of endless musical and spiritual meditation. Many musicologists regard Bach's High Mass as the finest musical composition ever written. It is one of those ironies of the Faith that the greatest Catholic composer was a Lutheran, and the greatest Catholic work every written was composed by a Protestant, although there is a theory that Bach was a closet Catholic and desired to move to a Catholic court to compose his music there. In fact, that is why the B-minor Mass was written.
Bach dedicated his B-minor Mass (or at least parts of it) to Prince Augustus the Strong, the Elector of Saxony, who had just converted to Catholicism. Bach made his dedication apparently in order to receive a position in the Catholic court. Although the Lutherans used the Roman Kyrie and Gloria for a so-called Missa Brevis (of which four survive from Bach), Bach added to his High Mass the Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei, to make it a completely Catholic, not Protestant, composition. Bach himself may have been a closet Catholic, like Shakespeare.
Without in any way denigrating Bach's Cantatas, written for St. Thomas Lutheran Kirche at Leipzig, we can only wonder at the sublime Masses, Vespers, Litanies, and other works that we might have had from the pen of Bach, had he obtained a position at a Catholic court, as he had wanted. Not even Haydn or Mozart, or even Beethoven, who wrote much great music for the Catholic Church, would have been able to hold a candle to the unequaled genius of a Catholic Bach. Arnold Schonberg, a musicologist of the early 20th century, put it thus: "There is no greater perfection in music than in Bach. No Beethoven or Haydn, not even a Mozart, who came closest to it, ever achieved such perfection. This perfection is one of idea, of basic conception, the natural consequence of the profundity of the idea."
The works of Bach (1685-1750), though composed by (as the world knows him) a traditional Lutheran, are of Catholic inspiration and hence belong to the Catholic Church. One interesting proof of this fact is that the Lutherans themselves ceased to employ his music liturgically in Bach's own century, whereas the Catholic Church never stopped playing them, mostly the wondrous organ preludes, based upon the melodies of Gregorian chant.
Even many SSPX members don't know where Bernie Fellay came from. It turns out that he wasn't even supposed to be consecrated in 1988. Archbishop Lefebvre had selected three candidates for the traditional episcopacy: Alfonso de Galarreta, Tissier de Mallerais, and Richard Williamson, who were well qualified by their education and their practical experience in working with the clergy and laity of the SSPX.
So how did Fellay get to be a bishop? Well, it turns out that his episcopacy was bought and paid for. A major Swiss benefactor of the SSPX wanted a Swiss bishop, so Archbishop Lefebvre was forced to look around, and the only Swiss he could find was his bookkeeper, Bernie Fellay. So, Fellay was added to the list at the last minute. Fellay had no real parochial experience other than as a vagus, a vagabond priest servicing the SSPX Mass circuit on Sundays. He did not have the pastoral experience of Galarreta or the education of Tissier or Williamson. He worked at Menzingen with his eyeshade on, pouring over the books. This role developed into today's Fellay, who is involved with about a dozen financial corporations as an officer or director, associated in several with his German lawyer collaborator, Maximilian Krah, who does fundraising for Jewish causes.
Archbishop Lefebvre's statues did not envisage a bishop leading the SSPX. Both Fellay and Williamson have on several occasions confirmed this fact. One can easily conclude what the Archbishop would say now, seeing his statutes overturned and his last-minute pick of someone who had the least experience and education of all, becoming Superior General and proceeding to sell out his SSPX to "Modernist Rome" and Josef Ratzinger, both of whom he condemned as "not Catholic."
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
The confusion some Catholics have today regarding the so-called need to respect persons simply because of their official title or office is what got us to the disaster we are in today! In the 50 years since Vatican II, we have been told by the establishment to obey our superiors without question (a false notion that even the Church chief theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas, rejects), and look where it has gotten Newchurch: an invalid Mess and sacraments, Modernist doctrine, and pervasive immorality of the most vile kind. The sooner honest Catholics call these disastrous "Church leaders" on the carpet, the sooner we can get rid of the chaff so that the wheat will grow again.The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
Yes, and, unlike these hypocritical "Church leaders," we will be following the example of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who was well known, even by his enemies, the leaders of the Church at that time, not to be a respecter of persons. Our Lord treated everyone equally, although he did disrespect the leaders of the Church of his time as vile hypocrites. Scripture tells us (Matthew 22:16/DRV): "And they [the Pharisees] sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men."
The corrupt president of the Newvatican's bank was effectively ousted on May 24, 2012, but not by his boss, the equally corrupt Benedict-Ratzinger. It was the Bank's own board who took the action. Newpope's bank, deceptively called the "Institute for Religious Works" to make it sound "pure as the driven snow," is being investigated by Italian magistrates for money-laundering for the Mafia and other criminal organizations.
What is even more interesting is that Benedict-Ratzinger suspects Ettore Gotti Tedeschi of leaking documents to the Italian press about Newpope's own involvement. For Ratzinger, money-laundering from criminals is not the important thing. Rather, it is the public exposure of Ratzinger's own involvement!

Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
I have been reading the TRADITIO Network to obtain the most timely information about the Neo-SSPX situation. Although not always the case, there are many instances where comments are made about Fellay or other persons involved in the "negotiations" that do not give due respect for the Church offices held. I note in particularl TRADITIO's use of the name "Bernie."
I do not support any "deal" at this time that would place the traditional Catholic Church in danger and, accordingly, I do not agree with the purported path being followed by the man you call "Bernie" [Fellay]. However, we do no service to our cause by casting disrespect on the people involved.
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
Frankly, we find it amusing that so many Neo-SSPXers fixate on our use of the familiar name "Bernie" rather than on Bernie's actions in conniving to sell out the traditional Catholic Faith. This seems to be typical of our age: that people get hung up with words, but ignore actions, which are far more important. Our use of this term has helped to shake Neo-SSPXers out of their servility to think about what Fellay is doing. That is the point.
The familiar form of address rips off the hypocritical veneer, behind which Fellay and Benedict-Ratzinger try to hide their evil designs and deeds. Too many of their followers look at them as virtual gods. In that way they can get away with evil without challenge. For all Fellay talks about the Virgin Mary, he doesn't emulate her humility. Archbishop Lefebvre didn't put on airs. He had the internal confidence that Fellay "The Bookkeeper" lacks and has to get by being "worshipped" without challenge by his followers.
In accordance with the best Catholic examples, we TRADITIO Fathers believe firmly that respect is earned. Respect is not automatic simply because someone holds a high office. As St. Thomas Aquinas, the Church's Universal Doctor, teaches: "If the faith is endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly."
Corrupt, anti-Catholic actions cannot be cloaked under the veneer of some purported office. If a traditional Catholic buys into this, he becomes an sinful accomplice to the corruption under the principles of Catholic Moral Theology. We do not "cast disrespect" on anyone. It is the individual who has cast disrespect upon himself by his disreputable conduct, and such an individual is properly criticized, publicly, for his public actions. When Catholics have failed to hold "prelates" to Catholic morality, as generally they have failed to do in the case of the "Paedophile Pope," Benedict-Ratzinger, and the "Judas" bishop, Bernie Fellay, the immoral situation has simply been made worse by the complicity.
In this approach we are supported by the Great Western Doctor of the Church, St. Augustine, who took an oath in the public square against the heretic pope of his time and proclaimed: "It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up." That is the committed and gutsy Catholicism that we follow, not the pansy version exemplified by Fellay and Ratzinger. St. Thomas More is another example of a Saint who used satire, sarcasm, and even ridicule to criticize the errant prelates of their time.
What is more vile and despicable than to hide sodomy, paedophilia, heresy, and apostasy perpetrated under the veil of some superficial white or purple garment? This is certainly not the morality that Our Lord Jesus Christ taught. He Himself gave us our example by condemning the false "prelates" of His time in the strongest possible terms, calling them hypocrites, "whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men beautiful but within are full of dead men's bones and of all filthiness" (Matthew 23:27-28/DRV).
Let's face it. Fellay and Ratzinger are trying to intimidate anyone who would criticize their vile actions against the true Catholic Faith by turning them into mere slavish "yes" men for themselves. Don't you be a fool and play the slave to the corrupt ambitions of these "prelates." Instead, stand up and be a gutsy Catholic, not a pansy!
It may seem over the top, but it has not been the first time that Satanic activities have been reported as going on in Newvatican. Fr. Malachi Martin documented that fact that some of the most extreme cardinals were conducting Satanic rites for the "successful" outcome of the Modernist Vatican II Council (1962-1965). Now Newchurch's Chief Exorcist has declared that a missing 15-year-old girl was kidnapped for Newvatican sex parties.
Presbyter Gabriel Amorth has declared to the Italian daily, La Stampa, that the missing 15-year-old girl, Emanuela Orlandi, thought to be buried in a murdered gangster's tomb, was kidnapped for Newvatican sex parties. During the week of May 13, 2012, police and forensic experts opened the gangster's tomb after an anonymous phone call to a TV show said that the truth about Emanuela's 1983 disappearance would be "found there." Exorcist Amorth further told the newspaper: "This has already previously been stated by Monsignor Simeone Duca, an archivist at Newvatican, who was asked to recruit girls for parties with the help of the Newvatican gendarmes. I believe that Emanuela ended up in this circle.... I have reasons to believe that this was just a case of sexual exploitation. It led to the murder and then the hiding of her body." The Chief Exorcist has previously said that the Devil is at work in the Newvatican.
Although Benedict-Ratzinger's officials insist that they have always co-operated with the investigation into the girl's disappearance, her own brother disputes that claim. The mobster, Enrico De Pedis, after he was gunned down in 1990 by competing drug dealers, was allowed by Newvatican officials to be buried in the crypt of Sant'Apollinare Basilica, allegedly because he made a number of payoffs -- termed "donations" -- to the Unblessed JPII-Wojtyla's coffers.

Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
The Greek Dramatist Euripides once said: "Those who fail to learn from the lessons of history are condemned to repeat the mistakes of the past." Well, Bernie Fellay and some of the Neo-SSPX clergy need to take Euripides' words of wisdom to heart.
I attended a Neo-SSPX church on Ascension Thursday and was amazed by the sermon. The "priest" (one of those Novus Ordo presbyters already serving at many Neo-SSPX locations) spent the entire sermon talking about the negotiations between Falley and Modernist Newrome, and saying that he gets all sorts of E-mails and letters condemning the negotiations. He then pointed out that we should not worry about such matters, that Fellay and (Un)holy Father in Newrome know far more then we simpletons could possibly know.
However, the historical precedent, without exception, is that once-traditionalist societies that made a sellout deal with Modernist Rome only see their societies destroyed by Newrome or destroyed from within. Is it not time for Fellay to pull his head out of the darkness and learn from history? Certainly Archbishop Archbishop Lefebvre understood and predicted what would happen if the SSPX sold out to Newrome, that the Society would be dead within a year. Was he ever right!
Sudwest Presse in Germany reports that Hans Kung has declared his bosom buddy, Josef Ratzinger, who invites him every year to the Papal Summer Castle at Gandolfo, a "schismatic." Kung's license to teach theology was revoked by Paul VI-Montini. Kung later joined the Freemasons and excommunicated himself. But in the case of Benedict-Ratzinger, he may have hit the nail on the head!
In a three-point argument Kung declares in Point 1 that SSPX bishops and priests are invalidly ordained according to Paul VI-Montini's Apostolic Consitution, Pontificalis Romani Recognitio, of July 18, 1968, which established Hannibal Bugnini's Protestantized New Ordinal as the definitive form of ordination of both presbyters and Newbishops in the New Order. This opinion is shared, inter alios, by Newcardinal Karl Becker, a member of Newvatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the [New Order] Faith.
Traditional Catholics (not including Fellay's Neo-SSPX) hold the New Ordinal to be invalid. The New Order sect, led by Benedict-Ratzinger, to the contrary, holds, at least in part, that unless a person is ordained (really "installed") under the New Ordinal, he is not a presbyter or Newbishop. So it appears that Fellay, Galarreta, Tissier, and Williamson will have to be "reordained" under the Protestantized New Ordinal before they can be accepted into "full communion" with the New Order sect.
In Point 2 Kung declares that if Ratzinger accepts the Neo-SSPX into his New Order sect, he will become a schismatic, under the Catholic theological principle that a pope can become a schismatic if he rejects union with the whole body of the Church. For further information on popes becoming schismatics, click on POPELIM: The Limitations of Papal Authority to Change Sacred Tradition, From the Writings of Roman Catholic Popes, Councils, Saints, and Theologians.
Point 3 draws the consequence of Point 2 from Catholic theology, that a schismatic Ratzinger would lose his position according to Catholic theology, or at least he could not expect obedience from Catholics.
Good Catholics, no one denies that Kung is a crafty theologian. He does have a point about the possibility of Benedict-Ratzinger being a schismatic. After all -- and Kung does not make this point as traditional Catholics would make -- Ratzinger has, in the anathema of Catholic theology, "overturned all the ecclesiastical ceremonies established by Apostolic Tradition." The Ratophiles ignore the fact that Ratzinger was the first pope to establish officially the invalid Protestant-Masonic-Pagan Novus Ordo service as the "Ordinary Rite" of the New Order sect. To that, add the recognition of the invalid Novus Ordo sacraments. Yes, Kung has an argument for Ratzinger being a schismatic -- but not in the way he thinks!
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
Since Benedict-Ratzinger has now stated that each Neo-SSPX bishop will be "death with" individually, clearly this decision merits reciprocity. In other words, the Neo-SSPX, in response to the Ratzinger's demand for Fellay to sign the Modernist "Doctrinal Preamble," should get a Doctrinal Pre-Nuptial Agreement individually, not only from Ratzinger, but from each Newbishop of a New Order diocese, pledging that the Newdiocese shall offer the Traditional Latin Mass (not the Half Novus Ordo Vatican II "Motu" Mess), provide the traditional Sacraments, teach the traditional catechism, learn Latin, and sing Gregorian chant. Otherwise, what good is a one way agreement, where only the Neo-SSPX bishops pledge to accept the invalid Novus Ordo Mess and teach Vatican II subjectivism?
Simple, even-handed, reciprocity seems like a pretty good way for the Neo-SSPX to "deal with" the Newbishops. Of course, Ratzinger and his Newbishops would never accept the very kind of conditions they seek to impose on the Neo-SSPX, because their goal is to swallow up Fellay and his sect into the all-encompassing Novus Ordo quicksand.
Bernie Fellay will not wear Novus Ordo purple yet, but only the scarlet of shame. Instead, the endless oecumenical "discussions" so beloved of the Modernist Newvatican will continue, according to Benedict-Ratzinger's spokesman, Federico Lombardi. One of the major sticking points is that Newchurch wants the Neo-SSPX to accept, publicly and without reservation, "full communion" with the "formal teaching of the Second Vatican Council," the Modernist Council that reeked with the odor of heresy.
Lombardi confirmed that Fellay's attempted sellout was undercut by the letter of the Society's three bishops, Galarreta, Tissier, and Williamson, who said in no uncertain terms that they would not sell out Archbishop Lefebvre's traditional Catholic Society to "Modernist Rome." Lombardi also indicated that Newvatican wanted a pound of flesh from the Neo-SSPX's senior bishop, Richard Williamson, because his questioning of certain details about the secular Jews' World War II "holocaust" story went contrary to Vatican II and the New Order sect's attempt to embrace Judaism. Benedict-Ratzinger places that on a higher priority than traditional Catholicism. Lombardi reported that the May 16, 2012, plenary session of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the [New Order] Faith did not present a final report to Ratzinger, but simply told him that the sellout process was had no end in sight.
Meanwhile, it seems that Fellay is aping yet another Modernistic doctrine of his mentor, Ratzinger. He now claims that the "mainstream thinking" of his Neo-SSPX does not consider the Jews enemies of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Fellay seems to be touting the "elder brother" notion beloved of Benedict-Ratzinger and other Modernists. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Service.]
Good Catholics, Fellay and his masters in Newrome will continue to fritter away the time, money, and resources of Archbishop Lefebvre's once-traditional organization until it will become a shadow of its former self, a mere paper-tiger that will eventually be swallowed up by the Modernist Newrome tiger and its bones spat out into the Tiber. Now is the time for the three Neo-SSPX bishops to press their point and depose Fellay from his Superior-Dictatorship, so that he can harm the Archbishop's Society no longer.
Benedict-Ratzinger has now admitted the obvious reality that "Catholic" colleges have abandoned the Catholic Faith under his Newpapacy. On May 5, 2012, he called upon "Catholic" colleges and universities in the United States to do more to affirm their Catholic [sic] identity. As usual, however, Ratzinger has put no teeth into the request, so it will be ignored just like all his other prattle -- and he knows it. It is all part of his Newchurch game to pretend to be "Catholic" while actually undercutting the true Faith.
Ratzinger also urged American bishops to ensure that young people receive a “sound education in the [New Order] faith." Ratzinger's cow is out of the barn on that one too. Recent studies have demonstrated that religious education in the New Order is virtually absent. Newchurch young people -- not to say adults -- do not even know the basic statement of the Faith, the Apostles Creed. In some cases, they don't even know the Ave Maria. Most of them, so the studies show, don't even believe that Jesus Christ is God! [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Religious News Service.]
An Open Letter dated May 19, 2012, to Bernie Fellay, has been sent from a group of Neo-SSPXers from the English District. The Neo-SSPXers take Fellay to task for essentially abandoning their Society as founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. At the outset they state their rejection of a "practical arrangement" with the New Order sect. "Practical arrangement" is the buzzword that Fellay has been using to indicate the Neo-SSPX's sellout on doctrine and practice to the New Order sect without actually admitting that there has been a sellout on doctrine and practice to the New Order sect. Fellay's is a deception worthy of a Modernist!
The British Neo-SSPXers point out: "When you say 'we,' you do not speak for us." The British SSPXers brilliantly pillory Fellay for talking out of both sides of his mouth:
From certain quarters we are being urged to show loyalty, obedience, and unity. Leaving aside the awkward memory of how these very same words were used to silence opposition to conciliar teachings and the New Mass [sic] some 40 years ago, we feel compelled to ask: Which Bishop Fellay are we supposed to obey? The Bishop Fellay of 2007 who thinks that Vatican II must be revised, or the Bishop Fellay of 2012 who thinks that Vatican II was merely misunderstood and must be accepted?
The British Neo-SSPX group goes on to charge Fellay with "consciously and deliberately overlooking the heterodox teaching and leadership" of Benedict-Rattzinger. To the contrary, states the group:
May we remind you that this is the same man [Cardinal Ratzinger] whom Archbishop Lefebvre felt he could not trust, in 1988? That this is the same man who has professed heresies which he has never retracted, as Bishop Tissier de Mallerais has pointed out on several occasions?
Finally, the British Neo-SSPX group charges Fellay with dishonesty and secrecy and of creating a "climate of fear and distrust." They declare that Fellay has castigated Neo-SSPXers for reading what is termed "private correspondence," when their only desire is to inform themselves of the facts. As to Fellay and his henchmen's ridiculous fixation on the revelation of this alleged "private correspondence," namely, the May 2012 letters to and from the three Neo-SSPX bishops on the folly of a sellout to the New Order sect, the group retorts:
The letter which the three bishops sent to you last month [May 2012] did not contain any personal information, and treated only of public matters affecting the future of the SSPX; therefore, it is surely somewhat disingenuous for it to be termed "private correspondence."
[Your] news organs have been demonstrably hiding from their readers any facts which do not help the cause they are trying to advance (namely, the argument in favor of reaching a practical agreement with Rome). Nowhere ... will one find the recent press statements from the Vatican, nor any reference to the fact that a large proportion of the bishops, priests, and faithful of the SSPX -- we believe the majority -- would be against the idea of a practical agreement with Rome.
It does appear that there is a double standard in allowing clerics who are in favor of reaching a practical arrangement to express their personal opinions from the pulpit, whilst at the same time requiring absolute silence from those who are against such an arrangement.
The British Neo-SSPX group concludes its Open Letter by stating: "it is abundantly clear to us that Rome has not converted, that Rome is as steeped in Modernism as ever it was." Therefore, they declare to Fellay that they will do all within our power to believe and spread the Truth and to denounce error -- whether Fellay "chooses to abandon us or remain with us."
Good Catholics, it seems that finally around the world the indolent Neo-SSPXers, both clergy and laity, have woken up to the fact that they have been played for patsies by Fellay over the last decade. They are now speaking out against him and his new mentor -- now having dumped Archbishop Lefebvre -- the Modernist leader of Vatican II and now the man condemned around the world as the "Paedophile Pope." Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised at Fellay's sellout. After all, as the old saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together."
The Neo-SSPX's senior bishop, Richard Williamson, after denouncing Benedict-Ratzinger's erroneous teachings on "False Oecumenism," concluded his May 19, 2012, weekly Bulletin with a definitive rejection of any sellout to the New Order sect by the Society's Superior-Dictator, Bernie Fellay. Agreeing instead with the Society's founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, that the Society would not be able to convert the corrupt Newchurch, but would itself be corrupted, Bishop Williamson declares:
[The Neo-SSPX] had better avoid making itself part of the diseased Conciliar whole. As a healthy branch grafted onto the unhealthy Conciliar plant, it would necessarily catch the Conciliar disease. No way can a mere branch heal that disease.
Vatican II's antiCatholic and Modernistic teaching on Judaism and the Judaeophile Newpopes JPII-Wojtyla and Benedict-Ratzinger must be accepted as doctrine by Newchurchers, as well as by Bernie Fellay and his Neo-SSPX. So declared on May 16, 2012, Benedict-Ratzinger's new (appointed July 1, 2010) President of Ratzinger's Pontifical Commission for Promoting Christian Unity, Kurt Koch, a fellow Swiss with Fellay.
The declaration was issued on the same day that Newcardinal William Levada's Congregation for the Doctrine of the [New Order] Faith met in plenary session to consider Fellay's sellout to the New Order sect. Koch made it clear that Benedict-Ratzinger would stand no opposition to the new Vatican II doctrine, espoused in its Declaration Nostra aetate. The Neo-SSPX's position that Jews must convert to Christ is unacceptable and is just one of the "questions to clarify in discussions with this community." The Neo-SSPX's senior bishop, Richard Williamson, has also questioned the exaggerated version of the World War II "holocaust" espoused by secular Jewish organizations for political purposes. Fellay himself, at least in the past, has rejected Judaism, but has been flip-flopping lately on doctrine in order to please his new master, Ratzinger.
Koch declared for Ratzinger that the Modernist Vatican II Council is just as binding on Newchurchers and the Neo-SSPX as the dogmatic Council of Trent. Acceptance of all the teachings of Vatican II, Koch revealed, will be required before Fellay's attempted sellout of the Neo-SSPX to the New Order sect can go through. Koch further stated that denial of the "holocaust," which is disputed in its details by several modern historians, is grounds for excommunication, and that for Ratzinger, Jews are no longer required to convert to Jesus Christ. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Service.]
Good Catholics, here you realize all the more what Fellay has sold out. Now he is even denying that a belief in Jesus Christ as Messias and God is no longer necessary for salvation, a denial that is opposed to numerous statements of Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself in the New Testament. Just last Holyday of the Ascension, we heard in the Gospel of the feastday: "Go ye into the whole world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned" (Mark 16:15-16/DRV). Fellay is truly on the verge of heresy in his attempts to become the lapdog of Ratzinger and his New Order sect.
Later information, again unconfirmed, maintains that the Extraordinary Chapter Meeting is still on. In that case, the Chapter will be given the opportunity to man up and depose its Judas Superior-Dictator once and for all instead of playing servile slaves to a petty tyrant who is out to destroy the work of the Society's founder, Archbishop Lefebvre, and play the sycophant to the Modernist "Fr." Ratzinger of the pseudo-council Vatican II.
News just in to the TRADITIO Network, as yet unconfirmed, indicates that Bernie Fellay has canceled the Extraordinary Chapter Meeting that he himself called for early July 2012 at Econe, Switzerland. Whether he did so because the sellout deal has temporarily failed or because of the opposition of the three Neo-SSPX bishops or because he is afraid that the Chapter would be used to depose him from the Superior Generalate is not yet known.
Meanwhile, Fellay has ordered Fr. Paul Morgan, Superior General of Great Britain, to remove items critical of Benedict-Ratzinger's blasphemous Assisi III Conference from the British Neo-SSPX web site because Newcardinal Levada, the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the [New Order] Faith, does not like the items. So, Fellay, who is now the lapdog of the New Order sect, has answered Levada with a big, Ja, wohl!
And now an informal survey has revealed that half of Fellay's clergy and laity in the United States do not want to go forward with his sellout deal. Most French clergy also oppose the deal. France and the United States are the two most populous Neo-SSPX districts.
If Fellay is ready to sell out and if the three Neo-SSPX bishops aren't going to act as St. Paul did when faced with Peter's error -- "I [Paul] opposed him [Peter] to his face because he stood condemned" (Galatians 2:11/RSVCE) -- then the laity are going to stand up. SaveSSPX.com is a group of concerned traditional Catholic who attend Neo-SSPX Mass centers in the United States. They vehemently oppose Fellay's sellout and the "new direction" in which he is taking Archbishop Lefebvre's originally-traditional Catholic organization.
At the same time, an international petition against Fellay's sellout to the New Order sect has climbed to the top of Google search results. The petition is being sent by the thousands to Fellay at the Headquarters of the Society of St. Pius X in Menzingen CH-6313, Switzerland, derisively known as "Fellay's Bunker," where the Superior-Dictator is holed up. We quote it in full here.
PETITION TO THE BISHOPS OF THE SSPX
PREAMBLE
The authority of the Roman Catholic Church is dogmatically founded upon Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, the two fonts of the Deposit of Faith. The Catholic Faith does not exist in contemporary Vatican II inventions and indigenous deviations, as promoted by the Holy See and sacrilegiously compounded by its charges throughout the world.
Self-indicted by its profound contempt of the Traditional Latin Mass, the only remedy for the errors of Vatican II is unequivocal repudiation. The Roman Curia has devolved into further apostasy in its liturgy, doctrine, and sacraments since the time Archbishop Lefebvre initially called Vatican II "not Catholic." Vatican II and its derivatives must therefore be soundly rejected by, not subsumed in, the Traditional Catholic Faith.
The traditional Catholic faithful cannot eliminate Vatican II apostasy by collaborating over the Traditional Latin Mass and the true Sacraments. The notion of an accommodation between Vatican II modernism and Sacred Tradition is fundamentally flawed, because Vatican II is intentionally designed to dismantle the Traditional Latin Mass, the true Sacraments, Catholic morality, and even traditional Church aesthetics. Therefore, I reject the liturgical abomination designed by the architects of Vatican II and presupposed for action without canonical authority. I reject the surreptitious corruption by Vatican II of the Traditional Latin Mass, the Sacraments, and the Catechism.
PETITION
On my behalf and for those whom God has made me responsible, I hereby petition the Bishops of the Society of Saint Pius the Tenth to cease and withdraw from all further communications with the Roman Curia and its representatives concerning the status of the Society of Saint Pius the Tenth until such time as the Holy See and the Roman Curia unconditionally disavow Vatican II and conclusively demonstrate their rehabilitated conduct according to the traditional canons, rites and dogma of the Holy Roman Catholic Church prior to the apostasy of Vatican II.
Presbyter-priest Regis de Cacqueray, Neo-SSPX District Superior of France, has made a reprehensible attempt to censor French anti-Fellay web sites for Ascensiontide, which have been constantly bringing out the truth about Fellay and his machinations to the Neo-SSPXers and the world against the scandalous attempt of Fellay to shut down all opposition to his sellout programme.
Of course, Cacqueray shrouds Fellay's real purpose of dictatorial censorship and blasphemous servile devotion to himself. What hypocrites Cacqueray and his master Fellay are! Of course, they have taken no steps whatsoever to shut down all their Neo-SSPX web sites, which continue to shovel out the manure of false propaganda trying to make Fellay out as the Great God of Traditionalism.
Meanwhile, recent attempts by Fellay and his henchmen to silence controversial internet news about them have simply stirred up further ire among Neo-SSPXers hankering for more information about what his going on. Fellay's video interview to the Catholic News Service has now been thoroughly dissected and reveals that Fellay has surrendered the SSPX's principal credo and has accepted the doctrinal force of the Modernist Vatican II Council, at which "Fr." Josef Ratzinger was a principal leader. The CNS interview may be the last nail in Fellay's coffin, which exposes him as a Modernist and as an outright traitor to Archbishop Lefebvre and traditional Catholicism.
There is nothing Catholic, or even Christian, in the request to conceal the truth. We will follow not the man Fellay, but Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who prized the truth above all (John 14:6/DRV):
Ego sum via, et veritas, et vita.
I am the way, and the truth and the life.
The attempt of Fellay's mouthpiece Cacqueray flies in the face of the example of the Great Fathers of the Church who stood against the Arian heretic popes of the fourth century. Following the example of St. Paul condemning Peter for heresy, they did not hesitate to condemn these unCatholic popes with every tool at their rhetorical disposal. For further information about the Great Fathers of the Church who publicly condemned and broke with the popes involved in the Arian heresy, click on ARIANS: The Orthodox Saints against the Arian Heresy of the Fourth Century
We will follow not the man Fellay, but the Great Fraters of the Church and the words of Scripture that inspired them (1 Esdras 4:41/DRV):
Magna est veritas, et praevalet.
Great is the truth, and it prevails.
We will follow not the man Fellay, but the sage warning of the Psalms (117:8/DRV):
Bonum est confidere in Domino, quam confidere in homine.
Bonum est sperare in Domino quam sperare in principibus.
It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.
It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.
Good Catholics, Fellay and his henchmen want you to be like Stalin's "useful idiots." They want to deprive you of free Christian will and to bind you to his immoral person, like some kind of pagan cult god. Don't fall for it! Fellay and his programme to sell out the traditional Catholic Faith to an unCatholic New Order and its "Paedophile Pope" must be publicly opposed, just as St. Paul opposed Peter before the Apostles assembled when Peter taught heresy again and again.
Good Catholics, if you don't fight now, you are no better than the Catholics of 1969, who stood mute and passive while an invalid and unCatholic Novus Ordo service was imposed upon them. When you lose the true Mass and Sacraments, true Catholic doctrine and morality, you will have no one to blame but yourselves. And your children will be asking you, as you are now asking your parents of 1969: Why didn't you do anything? Why didn't you stand up for your Catholic Faith when you had the chance?
The May 16, 2012, Plenary Meeting of the Congregation for the Doctrine of [New Order] Faith indicates, in a somewhat murky fashion, that the Congregation has postponed an immediate sellout based on Neo-SSPX Superior-Dictator Bernie Fellay's 17, 2012, missive to the Congregation and announced instead that "further discussions" will take place. Apparently, the letter by the three Neo-SSPX bishops, Galarreta, Tissier, and Williamson, have applied a monkey-wrench to Fellay's sellout deal, as now Fellay cannot deliver the Neo-SSPX into the dirty hands of the New Order sect as a "package deal."
Newvatican has resurrected the thumbscrews and declared that "in view of the positions taken by the three other bishops of the SSPX, their situation must be dealt with separately and individually." This statement gives further evidence that the Neo-SSPX will be ripped apart if Fellay proceeds with any agreement -- unless in his perverted heart he yearns to become Sole Bishop. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Vatican Information Service.]
Good Catholics, one can only hope that in the less than two months before the Extraordinary Neo-SSPX Chapter Meeting in early July 2012, the three Neo-SSPX bishops will have arranged to take back for Archbishop Lefebvre the original SSPX corrupted by Fellay into a Neo-SSPX unrecognizable as Catholic and send Fellay packing to Modernist Rome to his original calling as a bookkeeping grunt. Now it has been revealed that Archbishop Lefebvre never wanted to consecrate Fellay as a bishop, but was connived into it by wealthy French supporters.
Neo-SSPXers need to make it clear now to everyone that they support their three bishops and will break away before accepting any Fellay sellout to Modernist Rome, which their archbishop-founder condemned as unCatholic in no uncertain terms. Undoubtedly, these three bishops will be assailed by traitors to the Archbishop's principles wanting them to shut up for the sake of false "unity." They need all the support they can get for their courageous action.
On May 15, 2012, Newchurch leaders were exposed to the world for having covered up the immoralities of their most famous presbyter of the Legionaries of Christ. Thomas Williams follows the line of the now-dead paedophiliac head of the Legionaries, Marciel Maciel, who couldn't be touched because he was beloved of the Unblessed JPII-Wojtyla and because he was protected by Benedict-Ratzinger. Maciel was an out-and-out pervert, who made huge and tainted financial contributions to fund the New Order sect, secretly fathered bastards with at least two harlots, used illegal drugs, and committed sodomy upon his Novus Ordo seminarians.
Newchurch leaders, knowing that Williams had shacked up with a harlot and fathered a bastard child right under the pope's nose in Newrome, allowed him to preach, teach, and appear on television around the world. Williams was the public face of the Legionaries, appearing often on American television networks to explain New Order teachings. Presbyter Williams, who obviously had no conscience, was the author of more than a dozen books, including one ironically titled, Knowing Right From Wrong: A Christian Guide to Conscience.

Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
I follow your site regularly and have a question: Are the Neo-SSPX bishops the only traditional bishops around?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
The Neo-SSPX bishops are most definitely not the only traditional bishops around, if in fact they are traditional bishops at all, given recent events. There are many other traditional bishops, some associated with traditional organizations such as the Society of St. Pius V (SSPV) and the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen (CMRI), and some who remain ad cautelam independent of any organization. For further information, click on the TRADITIO Network's Official Traditional Catholic Directory department, provided to the TRADITIO Network by the National Registry of Traditional Latin Masses, now in its eighteenth year of publication.
Moreover, there are an equal number of traditional churches, chapels, oratories, and Mass sites and traditional organizations that are not affiliated with either the Neo-SSPX or the New Order sect. Thank God, given the imminent sellout of the Neo-SSPX to the unCatholic New Order! The Neo-SSPX is most definitely not the "only traditional game in town," and is, at this point, not even certainly traditional.
If the three bishops, Galarreta, Tissier, and Williamson do not take control of the Neo-SSPX from Fellay or establish a traditional alternative, Neo-SSPXers will have no choice but to leave Fellay and his fraudulent Neo-SSPX. Otherwise, they themselves will automatically become the phony Newchurchers that they have previously despised!
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
Fr. Yves Rostand, the Neo-SSPX's District Superior for the United States has just let another cat out of the bag: he has admitted that the proposed structure under which the Neo-SSPX, renamed St. Savior (Society of the S.S.), would operate is the perilous "personal prelature." Fellay must have rocks in his head if he is considering this structure. One of your contributors recently reported on the real effect of that jurisdiction. Everything he said was true but he left out one bad effect.
Under a personal prelature, the Neo-SSPXers would suddenly become subjects of the local Modernist and totally unCatholic Newchurch bishops. Thus, without the permission of their local Newbishop, they would not be allowed to be buried with a traditional Requiem Mass or to receive the traditional Sacraments of Baptism, Confession, Holy Eucharist, Confirmation, Holy Orders, Marriage, or Extreme Unction. To paraphrase your recent contributor, just imagine with what glee the local Newbishops would force such Neo-SSPX supporters to be confirmed, for example, in Newchurch's invalid Novus Ordo rite. All of Fellay's supporters will be robbed of valid Sacraments with the sweep of his sellout pen.
This is not a trap, as some call it. A trap is hidden, and one falls into it by mistake. This is the edge of a cliff, and Fellay is deliberately leading his flock to their spiritual perdition. What is in it for him? The violet underwear of the New Ordo sect?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
Do you hear the bars slamming shut on Fellay and his Neo-SSPX as Benedict-Ratzinger imprisons him within the New Order sect? A Personal Prelature is the form of another cult, Opus Dei. Maybe that cult and the Neo-SSPX cult will now be battling it out to represent the "conservative" side of the New Order sect. Wouldn't that be the ironic nail in Fellay's treacherous coffin?! For further information about what has happened to the Opus Dei cult in the New Order sect, click on FAQ10: How Do You Explain These Traditional Catholic Beliefs? in the TRADITIO Network's Library of Files (FAQs and Traditional Apologetics) department, in the section "Opus Dei."
When the Neo-SSPX becomes a full-fledged subsidiary of the Novus Ordo sect, one can foresee a scenario where a Newparish runs out of presbyters, and Benedict-Ratzinger orders the Neo-SSPX to staff it and to offer the Ordinary Mess of Newchurch, the invalid Novus Ordo service, which other "Motu" organizations like the Fraternity of St. Peter and the FSSP, FSV, IBP have been forced to do.
Fellay, already a sellout to the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini's Novus Ordo service when he said that it "might" be valid. To the contrary, it is surely unCatholic and certainly invalid. In any case, Fellay knows full well that in Catholic Sacramental Theology "might" is not good enough; there must be a moral certainly of validity. So, his Neo-SSPX presbyter-priests will trot off to serve the New Order sect, with which they now proudly want to be "in full communion."
Bernie Fellay scampered off to Newrome on May 12-13, 2012, apparently to try to save his sellout promise. Fellay, like Judas, was supposed to deliver up Archbishop Lefebvre's Society of St. Pius X to the New Order sect and its Modernist "Paedophile Pope," Benedict-Ratzinger, whole, but now there has been a wrinkle. The letter to Fellay from the three SSPX bishops, Galarreta, Tissier, and Williamson, published by a whistleblower, in which the bishops declare that they will not go along with a sellout to the New Order sect, has sent chills down the spine of both Fellay and Ratzinger. The letter from the three bishops against Fellay's sellout was described by Newroman officials as a "tough letter."
Fellay, who has admitted that he won't talk to his traditional bishops and other clergy, has dropped everything to hightail it off to Newrome's Modernist leaders because he was summoned like Ratzinger's dog. The publication of the letter from the three bishops has frightened Ratzinger, because it brought to public light the existence of considerable opposition within the Neo-SSPX to Fellay's dictatorial sellout. Already Neo-SSPX clergy, as well as laity, are lining up with the three bishops against Fellay. Fr. Javier Cardozo, for example, wrote in an Open Letter: "My absolute support is to the three bishops who remain faithful to the work of Archbishop Lefebvre, in whom I place my obedience."
Another piece of information on Fellay's double-dealing has also came out. As reported here on the TRADITIO Network at the time, Fellay, several months ago, had called an extraordinary General Chapter of the Neo-SSPX for early July 2012. It now appears that Fellay had expected his sellout to have become a fait accompli by that time and intended the Chapter to rubber stamp the sellout. Instead, as at the District Superiors' meeting at Albano, Italy, on October 6, 2012, at which the District Superiors rejected Fellay's sellout and sent him packing back to his Menzingen bunker, the Chapter could turn into a deposition of Felly himself! [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by La Stampa.]
Good Catholics, these developments make all the more imperative that Neo-SSPX bishops Galarreta, Tissier, and Williamson stand up publicly and unequivocally against Fellay's sellout and dictatorial takeover of the SSPX, like the traditional bishops that Archbishop Lefebvre supposedly consecrated in 1988. If they don't do that, they are just as much Judases to the Archbishop and true Catholicism as Fellay. If they aren't the wimps that they have so far shown themselves, they can easily take the SSPX back from Fellay, ordain traditional priests, and consecrate traditional bishops.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
It may not be apparent yet to the other three Neo-SSPX bishops, but it would be strikingly in their favor to delay and disrupt Fellay with a temporary injunction issued by a Swiss court (having jurisdiction over Fellay's headquarters at Menzinger) to dispute Fellay's authority and to put any sellout of the Neo-SSPX back into the hands of the true stewards of the organization, as Archbishop Lefevbre intended. In the interim, Fellay could be booted out of his position as Superior-Dictator by the other three bishops and District Superiors, who could drag the matter through the courts indefinitely.
A court-ordered injunction stopping the sellout would also create the opportunity to discover any conflicts and self-dealing by Fellay and his cronies. There have been numerous suspicions about what Fellay is doing with the Society's money and the fund-raiser for Jewish causes with whom he is operating.
However, the clock is rapidly ticking. Fellay's Judas kiss appears imminent. A legal challenge must be made now. After a sellout it will will be much more difficult to unwind, and courts much less likely to intervene. The time for seeking an injunctive order is now, since courts prefer to preserve the status quo until the substance of a dispute is resolved. Galarreta, Tissier, and Williamson need to get off their derrieres and act now to get a court order to stop Fellay's sellout.
On May 12, 2012, the Neo-SSPX's senior bishop, Richard Williamson, let the cat out of the bag. He intimated in his weekly Kyrie Eleison Bulletin that a newly-reorganized Society of St. Pius X, purportedly to be renamed the "Personal Prelature of St. Savior," will likely have the following requirements that Benedict-Ratzinger has imposed upon the "Motu" Institute of the Good Shepherd, headquartered in Bordeaux. This Institute was established on September 8, 2006, for five expelled SSPX priests (Fr. Paul Aulagnier, Fr. Philippe Laguerie, Fr. Guillaume de Tanouarn, and two others). These requirements, as contained in a recent decree from Newrome, requires that:
"So why, in Heaven's name, would it be any different with the SSPX?" asks Williamson.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
If Bernie Fellay and his two acolytes sign the deal with Modernist Rome, faithful Catholic SSPXers must be prepared to do a "Saint Nicolas du Chardonnet 1976" at all the SSPX Mass centrers, i.e., physically seize the church or chapel, throw out the SSPX priest if he is a proxy of Fellay, and bring in a fully traditional Catholic priest. The time has come for the traditional Catholic "Peoples' Power" to exert itself in a very public way.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
I just wanted to inform you that I have returned from the Mass at the Neo-SSPX chapel in London. The priest's sermon was of Fellay's proposed or potential sellout to Ratzinger and Vatican II, and it was not great listening to. The deal seems to be done; all it needs is to be written of and announced publicly. It seems the only way that Fellay's sellout of the Neo-SSPX to Vatican II and Ratzinger can be derailed is if Ratzinger deems Fellay's second response not good enough again, and then all deals are off.
Also, the three other Neo-SSPX bishops, who are vehemently against Fellay and Ratzinger, must publicly denounce the Modernist Ratzinger with a broadside for his apostasy, blasphemy, heresies, and immoralities, which to this day he has never refuted or recanted. Moreover, the three bishops must publicly declare a vote of No Confidence in Fellay and declare that on account of treachery to the principles of the SSPX, they no longer regard him as Superior General. If they do not do this, they should not be surprised if at the Judgment they are hurled down to the bottom of Hell, there to join he traitor Lucifer, who chose himself over God.
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
We heard chanted as last Sunday's Epistle the words of St. James the Apostle, who ashed us: "What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?" (2:14/DRV). The Apostle answers the question unequivocally: "So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself" (2:17/DRV).
Good Catholics, you, and particularly those in Bernie Fellay's Neo-SSPX, must be wondering now whether Fellay even has the Catholic Faith, from which he now seems ready to have apostatized. But Fellay is a lost cause and has been for some time, perhaps ever since his putative consecration by Archbishop Lefebvre in 1988, which is seeming now to have been received with a fraudulent intention on Fellay's part.
But the bigger question now is: Will the three SSPX bishops, Galarreta, Tissier, and Williamson, now stand by their consecration oath, or be satisfied with a few minced words, which had to brought to public attention by a whistleblower? So far the other three bishops have been singularly disappointing in their craven attitude of all talk and no action. Archbishop Lefebvre, in the words of St. John's Apocalypse, would "vomit them out of his mouth" for their cowardice. We shall see whether they, like St. Paul, "fight the good fight" and "finish the course" before the Archbishop's traditional Catholic organization is sold out to the Newcaiphas for far less than thirty pieces of silver.
By now most of the Neo-SSPXers have seen or heard of the leaked internal letters between the three bishops and the superior general, Bernie Fellay. With publication of these internal documents and the confirmation of their authenticity, it is obvious that this was a game changer, and it is time for us, the faithful adherents of SSPX Mass centers and chapels, lay and clerical alike, to besiege our pastors and District Superiors with vehement objections to what is happening.
Too much is at stake for us to sit idly by and let twenty years of blood, sweat, tears, and even persecution by Newchurch be washed away by the stroke of a pen on a treacherous agreement. At first glance this may sound alarmist; however, it is time that we knew what is contained not only in the preamble but also in this agreement itself. There are clear and present dangers to the traditional Roman Catholic Faith and movement!
Modernist Rome, as our founder, Archbishop Lefebvre, termed it, notwithstanding its putatively "conservative" and even "traditionalist" window-dressing, is not yet ready to accept the Traditional Catholic Movement, but merely wishes to get its clutches on traditional Catholics and destroy once and for all the Traditional Catholic Movement by breaking its back.
We of the Traditional Catholic Movement have been the conscience of the Church since our opposition to Vatican Council II was devised back in the late 1960s. Newchurch has tried to draw a veil across this conscience and to silence our annoying voice reminding the New Order sect that they are not even Catholics because they are not faithful to what Archbishop Lefebvre termed Eternal Rome.
Through the revelation of these internal SSPX letters of the bishops, it is evident that there are intrigues afoot. Whether Newrome is acting on the naivete of a battle-weary superior general and Newhierarchy or whether there is an orchestrated treachery of the Newhierarchy I don't know, but the effect is the same: the capitulation of the traditional Catholic Faith to Newchurch.
I repeat that Newrome is not yet ready for the return of the traditional Catholic Faith, as is obvious from its continuing false oecumenism, dialog, and cooperation with false sects, from its continuing scandals, the dissension of its religious, and the Modernism of its so-called theologians.
We must also stay informed and keep each other informed by reading all of the informed articles and reports we can on this situation. In particular, the TRADITIO Network has been almost alone in cutting through all of the sellout propaganda from Menzingen (which would have us Neo-SSPXers remain clueless sheep), in order to force us, sometimes kicking and screaming, to see the Big Picture about what disastrous plans are being hatched between Menzingen and Newrome.
"I am absolutely comfortable with men marrying men, women marrying women." Who said that? Some atheist anti-Christian, no doubt. No; it was the Vice President of the United States, a man who claims to be a "Catholic" in order to get votes. But don't expect the immoral and unCatholic Joseph Biden to be excommunicated by the equally immoral and unCatholic Benedict-Ratzinger. You see, in Ratzinger's Modernist New Order sect, you can advocate immoral perversion openly without censure. After all, Ratzinger himself is the world's greatest suborner of immorality as the "Paedophile Pope"!
As one psychologist put it, homosexualists, that is, supporters of homosexuality, like to frame their issue as one of "equality." After all, if a man and his wife can have legitimate relations, why can't two men commit sodomy, why can't two women commit lesbianism, why can't a man or a woman have sex with animals, why can't a man have several wives, or a woman several husbands, why can't men cut off their genitalia and become women, all in the name of "equality." No wonder that the homosexualists never talk, as the United States' Founders certainly did, of God's Natural Law, which pertains to all human beings, not just Catholics.
Wrap yourself in the mantle of "equality," and you have somehow put on a rhetorical bullet-proof vest, even though the vast majority of Americans do not support the homosexualists' extremist Malthusian ideology or its anti-social legislative agenda. The moral camp has been subjected to years of Jerryspringerization, intimidation, and outright bullying, and consequently lack the courage and fortitude to frame the issue truthfully as simply one of CORRUPTION. No, it is not "Marriage Equality"; it is "Marriage CORRUPTION." It is not the "National Equality March"; it is the National CORRUPTION March. It is not the "Equality Council"; it is the Family CORRUPTION Council. And so on.
Good Catholics, many in the moral camp are in denial, refusing to admit that words are powerful weapons, that aberrosexualist Newspeak is real, and that using this Newspeak invariably spells doom for those wishing to defend the family, marriage, and correct sexual behavior, or orthosexuality. Sadly, the homosexualists have much more audacity than many Catholics, who are two effete to wage the rhetorical and spiritual battles needed to win the ongoing Moral War.

Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
It is very sad that the three bishops who are now trying to stop the SSPX merger did not do so years ago. They shut up when Fellay forbad any mention of the atrocities to the Catholic Faith that Newchurch was perpetrating. They should have quoted the trademark "false obedience versus true obedience" and courageously defended the Faith instead of cow-towing to the false principles of Fellay and his Neo-SSPX. Yes, senior bishop Richard Williamson did tend to speak out more than the other two, however not enough, not nearly enough.
It looks as if Fellay will go ahead with his sellout with or without the other three bishops, so those three bishops will be receiving the same punishment now, after all, as they would have if they had spoken out earlier and warned the clueless Neo-SSPXers.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
There is a new book out that makes a case that the successor to Benedict-Ratzinger will be the last, leading to what has been prophesied as the "Great Apostasy" and even the destruction of Rome. What do you think about the Great Apostasy?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
A better case can be made that the "Great Apostasy" is already here, and its Great Apostate is "Fr." Ratzinger, later become Benedict-Ratzinger. At the Modernist Vatican II Council (1962-1965), Ratzinger was one of the leaders of the heretical Modernists who took over that council. He rejected clerical clothes and hung out at the council in a business suit with his fellow Modernist leaders like Hans Kung (who later joined the Freemasons and became an excommunicate) and Karl Rahner (who was silenced for suspicion of heresy by Pope John XXIII). Ratzinger too had been declared under suspicion of heresy by Pope Pius XII and the Holy Office and a book of his banned for heresy.
When Ratzinger became Newpope in 2005, he had the temerity to desecrate the ancient traditional liturgy of Good Friday, as well as to put out a bowdlerized version of the Half Novus Ordo Vatican II Mess of 1962, which had been "modernized" by the same Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini who fabricated the full-blown invalid, Protestant-Masonic-Pagan Novus Ordo service and invalid New Ordinal of 1969. Now Benedict-Ratzinger is trying to stamp out traditional Catholicism by incorporating the Society of St. Pius X into his New Order sect, whence it will sink into the quicksand of that filthy and unCatholic sect.
Certainly, Ratzinger is the the Great Apostate when it comes to Catholic morality. What crime could be considered more Mortal and filthier than being a accomplice in the rape of children by his clergy? He has been a supporter of these crimes since his advent at Newrome back in 1981 as Newcardinal "Sex Czar," and he has continued his crimes under his soiled white cassock as Newpope. His signature is all over documents that have supported his sodomite bishops and presbyters after they committed numerous and vile sex crimes against children. He threatened with excommunication any Newbishop who reported these crimes to the police. Ratzinger has destroyed the lives of over 100,000 children. Truly, he is far worse than the previous "Bad Pope," Alexander VI.
Yes, Maria, it seems that the Great Apostasy is here, and the Great Apostate is Josef Ratzinger.
The Neo-SSPX's Superior-Dictator, Bernie Fellay, on May 11, 2012, admitted to Catholic News Service that his sellout of Archbishop Lefebvre's once-traditional Catholic organization will likely split the organization in half. But he doesn't care: "So be it!" is his reply.
Fellay, isolated in his Menzingen bunker like Adolf Hitler in the last weeks of World War II, hardly dares to go out any longer. He has earned the ire of the other three bishops whom the Archbishop Lefebvre consecrated in 1988. They and his District Superiors are unanimous in their rejection of a sellout. And more than half of his laypeople are denouncing him for selling out the Archbishop's traditionalist principles. Yet Fellay seems irrationally determined to play the Judas. So isolated has he become (he has admitted that he doesn't talk to the other three bishops) that some are beginning to wonder whether he is in fact sinking into a state of mental illness, paranoia.
In April 2012 the Neo-SSPXs other three bishops warned Fellay that Benedict-Ratzinger's offer to establish the group as a personal prelature constituted a "trap" and urged him to say no. They warned him that he had approached a "point of no return" and implied that they would cut him off from his leadership position. Fellay now has admitted: "The thing is not yet done." He has also admitted that Ratzinger was pushing the sellout, not he. Ratzinger appears to think that he is dying and is grasping at any straw to accomplish one victory for his New Order sect.
AFurther evidence that Fellay has lost the true Catholic Faith emanated from his own lips when he answered, "I would hope so," when asked if Vatican II itself belongs to Catholic tradition. If any principle has characterized the Society, it is that Vatican II was filled with heretical Modernize, to be totally rejected.
Good Catholics, truly Archbishop Lefebvre from Heaven must be cursing the day that he consecrated this Judas to traditional Catholicism and the Society of St. Pius X. He certainly gives evidence that he is falling into some abnormal mental state. That would be a charitable explanation. There is also the possibility that Fellay duped Archbishop Lefebvre and may not even be a true bishop, if he received consecration fraudulently, like Freemason.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
Thanks to you, thanks to the TRADITIO Network, the world will now know the truth about the negotiations between Newrome and the Neo-SSPX. Over at the pseudo-traditionalist sites, there is not a whisper of this major news. Heaven forbid that the truth should get out of the bag! Smother the truth! Kill it!
I wish to direct your attention to a point in Fellay's response to the three other Neo-SSPX bishops. Fellay admits that Newrome is offering the Society a Novus Ordo "personal prelature." He calls this a successful juridical structure. Well, a bullet in the brain is acceptable if your aim is a messy suicide. Here is what Canon 294 of the Novus Ordo 1983 Code of Canon Law has to say about this dangerous structure: "Personal prelatures ... are composed of deacons and priests." So personal prelatures may not include lay subjects or lay ecclesiastics and may not include the friars and monks and nuns affiliated with the Society. This would also separate secular supporters of the Society and put them ... under the local Modernist Newbishops!
Novus Ordo Canon 297 provides: "The statutes are ... to define the relationships of the prelature with the local ordinaries, in whose particular churches, the prelature, WITH THE PRIOR CONSENT OF THE NEWDIOCESAN BISHOP, exercises or wishes to exercise its pastoral or missionary activity." In other words, the local Modernist Newbishop gets a veto on any attempt by the prelature to implant an apostolate in his see. Just imagine the glee with which the Modernist Newbishops will in a New York minute deny the application of Fellay's little prelature!
Fellay is dreaming in technicolor. But he's not being tricked. He may be perverse, but he's not stupid. He knows that this is a sell-out. So what's he after? Amaranth red socks? Maybe even scarlet underwear!
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
The danger to the Neo-SSPX is not Fellay, but a Neo-SSPX clergy capable of trusting a man like him with the stewardship. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Fellay stewardship than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a confused clergy willing to have such a man for their head and for so long!
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Fellay alone, who is a mere symptom of what ails the SSPX. It is less likely to survive the clerical members, such as those who made him their superior in the first place. For the marching-call for the SSPX has always been not what the true Church says, but what the Society head says! The Society gets what it deserves.
What is particularly revealing is that the three bishops' letter referenced below, and Fellay's reply, were suppressed by the pseudo-traditionalists -- you know who we mean, the W., the R., the Z., and those other sources that pretend to be traditional, but do not hesitate to accept Benedict-Ratzinger's Half Novus Ordo Vatican II Mess of 1962+ and to lick the slippers of the "Paedophile Pope" without expressing a peep of outrage against the crimes against children that he connived in with his Newclergy. These pseudotraditionalist sources certainly didn't want anything to stand in the way of Fellay's sellout to their beloved Modernist Rome, to use Archbishop Lefebvre's on-point term.
The TRADITIO Network was one of the few sources that exposed the secret exchange, as soon as a whistleblower within the Neo-SSPX sneaked them out. And what is Fellay's reaction to the publication of the information: revealing the truth is a "serious sin." He proceeded to admit that he had been hoodwinked, not only in a press release but also in a video. Someone goofed in the video, however. The background music is the Agnus Dei from Mozart's Requiem. Is Fellay letting slip the information that he has already killed Achbishop Lefebvre's SSPX dead?!
Isn't it remarkable that anything Fellay doesn't like is a "serious sin," but Ratzinger's paedophilia holocaust, money-laundering, and contract fraud aren't sins? Fellay is obviously learning all the worst things from his new bosom buddy, Ratzinger. Fellay's reaction is very similar to that of Ratzinger's when his high Newprelates leaked to the Italian press information about his malefactions. Rather than correcting the evils, Ratzinger called for a "leak inquiry" to ferret out the truth-telling whistleblowers!
CONTRARY TO THOSE WHO AUTOMATICALLY KOWTOW TO CORRUPT CLERGY IN FUNNY POINTED HATS, WHETHER THEY CALL THEMSELVES TRADITIONAL OR NOT, THE TRADITIO NETWORK STANDS WITH THE GREAT DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH, ST. AUGUSTINE, WHO STATED BLUNTLY: "IT IS BETTER THAT THE TRUTH BE KNOWN THAN THAT SCANDAL BE COVERED UP."
In a letter written in early April 2012, but published only on May 9, 2012, Neo-SSPX bishops Alfonso de Galarreta, Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, and Richard Williamson have declared to Bernie Fellay that they "unanimously and formally oppose" a sellout to Newrome and its leader Benedict-Ratzinger, the same Ratzinger whose Modernism Archbishop-Founder Lefebvre rejected in 1988. They term such a sellout "impossible."
The three bishops declare that "since Vatican II the official authorities of the Church have deviated from the Catholic truth" and remain attached to heretical Modernist doctrines and practices, including the "Doctrinal Preamble" and the oecumenical farce of his Assisi III "Oecumenical" Conference. The bishops quote Archbishop Lefebvre against what he called "Modernist Rome," represented by Ratzinger, as follows:
The more one analyzes the documents of the Vatican II and their interpretation by the authorities of the Church, the more one realizes that they are neither superficial errors nor a few particular errors such as ecumenism, religious freedom, collegial structure, but rather a total perversion of the spirit, a whole new philosophy founded upon subjectivism. It is very serious! A total perversion! That is really alarming.
The bishops go on to state that Benedict-Ratzinger is far from a traditionalist, but is in fact "also impregnated with subjectivism." They denounce Ratzinger & Co. for offering to accept the Neo-SSPX "within the framework of relativistic and dialectical pluralism.... But they will absolutely not permit that the Society condemn Conciliar [heretical] teachings."
If the Society sells out to the New Order even in a "practical agreement," the bishops state that such a sellout "would necessarily silence the Society little by little from a full critique of the Council or the New Mass [sic]." What guarantee, the bishops ask, could there be that the Society will not rot from within, but will remain protected from the {New]roman curia and the [New]bishops? From the Modernist Benedict-Ratzinger himself?
The three bishops point to the sagacity of Archbishop Lefebvre in realizing that all of the "deals" offered by Ratzinger and his New Order sect are only "maneuvers to separate us [the Society] from the largest number of faithful possible." This, the bishops declare, is "the greatest danger threatening our people. If we have struggled for twenty years to avoid the Conciliar errors, is it logical now to put ourselves in the hands of those professing these errors" and not "effectively and publicly oppose the [New]roman authorities who have spread the errors"?
The three bishops warn Fellay and his assistants that any action on their part to join the Neo-SSPX with the New Order sect will "lead the Society to a point where it will no longer be able to turn back, to a profound division of no return." They say to Fellay: "Listen to your Founder. He was right 25 years ago. He is right still today." It's time that Neo-SSPXers dump Fellay's silly "Rosary Crusades" to sell out to Modernism and instead pray that the three faithful bishops will have the courage to excise the Fellay cancer that's killing the Neo-SSPX.
In a reply of April 14, 2012, to the three bishops' letter, Fellay, citing phony "charity," lashes out at his fellow bishops and even questions their Catholic Faith, but to the contrary gives a full-throated defense of the "Paedophile Pope," Benedict-Ratzinger, and his Modernist New Order sect. It is clear that Fellay has already gone over mentally to the Dark Side in accepting heretical teachings and even apostasy. It has apparently never dawned on him that Satan may be playing him for a fool, using his overweening pride to lead him to join more and more closely with the enemies of the Catholic Faith in Newchurch. Fellay is so prideful and impious that he rejects the wise advice of one more knowledgeable and experienced than he, that is, Bishop Williamson, the Neo-SSPX's senior bishop, and even of Bishop Tissier de Mallerais, who saw firsthand the deceit of the New Order, as he was appointed by Fellay himself to lead the "negotiations" with Newrome.
Fellay, obviously a member of the "Poor Me" generation, even has the gall to whine: "You cannot know how much your attitude over the last few months -- quite different for each of you -- has been hard for us" [here using the Royal "We"] and admits openly that he has refused to inform the other three bishops of the details of what is going on.
Come on now, Bernie. You weren't dragged kicking and screaming into an unprecedented and dangerous 24-year term as Superior General, which you have turned into a Dictatorship. For years it has not been only the TRADITIO Network and the traditional French web sites that have called for your resignation. The other three bishops are now against you. Your District Superiors are now against you (as proven at the Albano conference), and an estimated majority of your laypeople, whom you treat with contempt, are now against you. Yet your pride will not allow you to see that you are destroying the Society. Or maybe you are a Modernist mole, and that is what you have wanted all along.
The letters between the three bishops and Fellay make it clear that Fellay is flying solo. He has retreated to his Menzingen bunker, just as the Nazi Dictator Hitler retreated to his Berlin bunker when the Third Reich was all but dead. Fellay has already sold out mentally and is now turning on the wise and rather moderately-stated opinions of the other three bishops. Fellay at this point -- and perhaps always -- has blinded his eyes and plugged his ears. He doesn't want to see the "Paedophile Pope," against whose vile crimes he has not once lifted his voice, and he doesn't want to hear the sage counsel of the other three bishops.
Good Catholics, the likely outcome after Fellay's sellout to the New Order sect will be, just as Archbishop Lefebvre predicted, the eventual breakup of the once-traditional Society of St. Pius X, with a remnant playing Judas with Fellay by following him into the unCatholic New Order sect, and most of the remaining traditional majority dropping out entirely (as many did with the advent of the Novus Ordo of 1969), but a small number going over to truly traditional sites. And isn't this exactly what Benedict-Ratzinger, not to say, Satan, wants: the destruction of traditional Catholicism? Fellay has been the perfect dupe for the Dark Side and played into the diabolical hands of the unCatholic New Order sect.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
Bernie Fellay's impending sellout of his anti-Lefebvrite Neo-SSPX simply highlights the fact that everything we have heard in the past from this Judas regarding a "state of emergency" in Newchurch to justify his actions has been nothing but a bag of hot air. On what possible grounds could Fellay have believed that a "state of emergency" actually existed when he has engaged like a Protestant in "oecumenical dialogue" with the unCatholic New Order? Truly, Fellay is no better than a Methodist or Lutheran. Under Benedict-Ratzinger's unCatholic Newpapacy, there can be neither real truths to define nor errors to condemn, only unfortunate "misunderstandings" to be ironed out. The end of oecumenical dialogue is an accommodation of error and an utterly false human hope that a "mutual understanding" will forge a future convergence in doctrine and worship.
It has been evident for a long time that Fellay would sign the two-part "Doctrinal Preamble." The first part of the Doctrinal Preamble requires Fellay not to criticize the Modernist Vatican II phony "magisterium," regardless of the gravity of the doctrinal error or sin committed. The second part requires Fellay's signature on the 1989 "Profession of Faith" of Vatican II, which includes his unconditional internal submission of mind and will to heresy. Fellay is no better than a Judas, because he already swore the Anti-Modernist Oath of Pope St. Pius X. Now he is going to turn Judas to perjure himself and swear the Modernist Oath of Vatican II. Even the Anglican converts to the New Order sect did not have to swear the Modernist Oath!
Moreover, Fellay has turned Judas against Archbishop Lefebvre, the priests and religious of the SSPX, and all traditional Catholics by the most callous Indifferentism ("all gods are the same," "we all worship the same god") in order to receive the Novus Ordo cookie and Kool-Aid at the table of New Order errors. Fellay has become The Most Unreverend Bishop Judas. The great archetype of all betrayal belongs to a Catholic prelate, Bishop Judas Iscariot, who, once he had decided that his worldly ambitions would not be met by remaining in the company of Our Lord, thought that he could collect his thirty pieces of silver and then deliver Our Lord to his enemies. As we all know, Judas eventually realized the error of his ways and ended up committing suicide, thereby damning himself for eternity. Is Fellay on the same path as Judas, hunkered down, depressed and rejected in his Menzingen bunker?
Archbishop Lefebvre, in his last communication to Card. Josef Ratzinger, called for necessary revisions to heretical statements in the documents of Vatican II. The proximate cause the Archbishop's consecration of the four traditional bishops in 1988 was the oecumenical Prayer Meeting at Assisi. Archbishop Lefebvre's letter to the cardinals in opposition to this blasphemy was never retracted. Nothing has changed since that time. Fellay is simply a perjurer, a mortal sinner against God's Eighth Commandment, if he accepted the consecration in 1988, only to sell out the Archbishop's Society, founded under the name of the Anti-Modernist pope.
Fellay was consecrated a bishop by Archbishop Lefebvre for the very purpose of defending Catholic doctrine and valid Sacraments. Traditional Catholics have made countless sacrifices over the last fifty years to preserve the Catholic Faith and valid Sacraments for themselves and their families. If Fellay received consecration for fraudulent purposes, it can be argued that he was never really a bishop, and that now he is no more than "The Unreverend Mr. Bernie."
Bishop Fellay will soon learn that no one likes a traitor, not those he betrays and not even those who benefit from his betrayal. Dante places Judas in the very depth of hell because of the sin of ingratitude, and ingratitude is the principal characteristic betrayal. I will not be surprised to learn some day that it was not Ratzinger, but Fellay, who initiated the contact with Newrome asking, in the words of Judas: "What will you give me, and I will deliver [them] unto you?" (Matt. 26:15/DRV).
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
Can you explain briefly why "marriages" or "civil unions" between homosexuals are morally damnable and how a Catholic should explain this fact to those who claim to be "Catholic" and yet advocate such mortal immoralities?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
First of all, this is not just a "Catholic" teaching. True, sodomy is one of the Four Sins that Cries out to Heaven for Retribution, and the New Testament clearly condemns homosexual acts as immoral. But, more basic than that, sodomy and homosexuality are against the God's Natural Law. These acts are not the purpose for which human beings were created, any more than human beings were created for bestiality (sex with animals) and other sexual perversions.
Sexual immorality was certainly one of the causes of the degradation of Roman Empire in Our Lord's time, once it had fallen from the high morality of the Roman Republic. Rome is a case study in what happens when the Natural Law is violated so rampantly: the civilization falls. This principle is one of those documented in Edward Gibbons's detailed work, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
It is ironic that the "Paedophile Pope," Benedict-Ratzinger, and his Modernist New Order sect have succumbed to the unspeakable and gross immoralities, worse than those which the Roman empire, from which the Roman Church descended, has sunk: the rape of children by clergy, who are supposed to protect the innocent. St. Paul brilliantly summarized this reality in his Epistle to the Romans (1:26-28,32/DRV):
For this cause, God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts, one towards another, men with men, working that which is filthy and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. And as they have liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to those things which are not convenient.... Who, having known the justice of God, did not understood that they who do such things are worthy of death: and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
In other words, people who do such filthy and unnatural things suffer the natural consequences of their perverted morality. Moreover, those who support such people -- whom St. Paul calls "those that consent" to these things -- are not Catholics, not even Christians. But don't expect to be able to convince easily those Modernists/Liberalists whose minds are already perverted -- in St. Paul's terms, those who have a "reprobate sense" -- by rejection of God's Natural Law and acceptance of every moral perversion as some kind of "right." This unCatholic attitude has even affected the New Order sect and its "Paedophile Pope," Benedict-Ratzinger, who has succumbed to unspeakable and gross immoralities: the rape of children by his clergy, who are supposed to protect the innocent.
Even Newchurchers have caught on that Benedict-Ratzinger is the "Paedophile Pope." A Zogby poll now shows that Newchurchers in the United States have a "dramatic" loss of confidence in Ratzinger because of his support of paedophiliac crimes among his clergy. The U.S. Newchurch bishops suffer an even greater loss of confidence in the poll. However, Bernie Fellay and his pseudo-traditionalists of the Neo-SSPX have yet to get the message.
In just the last two years, Newchurchers' opinion of Ratzinger has dropped by 15 per cent. The numbers slid from 71 per cent in April 2008, as Ratzinger made a propaganda trip to the U.S., to 56 per cent in April 2010. The drop is primarily attributable to a growing awareness of Ratzinger's personal involvement in supporting paedophiliac crimes among his Newclergy. The U.S. Newbishops' reputation dropped even more than Ratzinger's: from 62 per cent in 2008 to 45 per cent in 2010.
62 per cent of Newchurchers polled said that Ratzinger had done a poor or only fair job of handling his clergy's rampant sex crimes. 72 per cent said that the U.S. Newbishops' handling of Newchurch Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust has been poor or only fair. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Service.]
Good Catholics, there is only one way to deal with Benedict-Ratzinger and his unCatholic New Order sect: spurn it completely! To attend its Protestant "Mess" or to put anything into its collection-plate is to commit knowing complicity in child rape and to support a false faith. And what is more a "Mortal Sin" than that!?
Archbishop Lefebvre understood it; Fellay is too stupid to see it. A signature on the New Order "Doctrinal Premable" will not be the end, but merely the beginning of Fellay's problems. Here is just a partial list of the issues into which Newchurch will snare him until he dies:
Finally, the once-traditional Society of St. Pius X, as founded by Archbishop Lefebvre, will go out of existence permanently. It will become -- so the latest information is -- the Personal Prelature of St. Savior, fully answerable to the unCatholic and immoral Modernists in Newrome. This prospect should scare the literal Hell out of the Neo-SSPXers!
In the face of Bernie Fellay's imminent sellout of the Neo-SSPX to the Newchurch of the New Order, the Neo-SSPX's senior bishop, Richard Williamson has sided with the traditional principles of Archbishop Lefebvre and has rejected Fellay's sellout, proclaiming in a Bulletin on May 5, 2012:
Benedict's ecumenical Newchurch is, as such, not the Catholic Church." Archbishop Lefebvre had proclaimed what he termed "Modernist Rome" and Josef Ratzinger "not Catholic."By this statement, Williamson has essentially proclaimed that if Fellay has already sold or does sell out, Fellay joins Ratzinger as being "not Catholic."
In yet another hard-hitting Bulletin, Bishop Williamson explains that "the Catholic Church has always taught that it is Jesus Christ's one and only true Church, so that even if the mass of believers leave it, as will happen at the end of the world (cf. Luke XVIII:18), still it will not have lost its unity. To the contrary, the Modernist Vatican II Council rejected Catholic doctrine by saying (Lumen Gentium #8) that Christ's Church merely "subsists" in the Catholic Church and teaching the heresy that Christ's true Church is broader than the Catholic Church. Bishop Williamson shows this heresy as certainly the view of "Fr." Ratzinger of the Council, who was even then working with Bugnini, Kung, Rahner, and other Modernists to turn the Catholic Church into the New Order sect after that Council. Williamson quotes Ratzinger's theology after the Council, which expresses Protestant doctrine, not Catholic doctrine:
Wherever there is Bishop, Table, and Word of God, there is "church." This true broad Christian communion has been gravely narrowed down over the centuries by Roman centralization, which drove the Protestants to break with Rome. The doctrinal differences should have been lived with. So return-to-the-fold ecumenism needs to be replaced with co-existence ecumenism. Churches must replace Church. Catholics must open up.
What is truly remarkable about this statement of Ratzinger is that it is exactly the ploy with which he has bamboozled Bernie Fellay. Ratzinger can live with doctrinal differences. He can live with Anglicans, Methodists, and Lutherans in his New Ordo sect. The question is whether Fellay can, in which case Fellay too is a Protestant, a heretic, and his Neo-SSPX is a heretic organization.
Bishop Williamson concludes: "In brief, Benedict's Newchurch includes elements both Catholic and non-Catholic. But even partly non-Catholic is not Catholic as a whole. Therefore, Benedict's ecumenical Newchurch is, as such, not the Catholic Church." Now that Williamson has issued this statement publicly, he has no choice other than to man up an act according to his statement. Williamson, together with Bishops Tissier and Galarreta, needs to abandon Fellay and the heretic organization that Fellay has made of Archbishop Lefebvre's once-traditional Catholic organization. Otherwise, Williamson is just as big a hypocrite as Fellay.
I realized some time ago that any deal with Newrome at this time could bring only disaster. That was not my view in the past, but I "saw the light" when I saw how this Benedict-Ratzinger and William Levada, his pit-bull, decimated and liquidated the Traditional Anglican Conference, cheated the Institute of the Good Shepherd, betrayed the Transalpine Redemptorists on Papa Stronsay, and also silenced and neutralized the Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP).
Under Fr. Berg the FSSP now refuses to establish apostolates in any more New Orderd dioceses. His excuse is a need for entrenchment for the psychological health of his priests. In effect, however, the FSSP has become irrelevant: it has entered not one more U.S. Newdiocese in two years. Not one more diocese in France either. The FSSP is a pathetic joke. The Institute of Christ the King moves even more slowly. The other excuse, for the FSSP, is that, after Summorum pontificum it would concentrate on training priests in how to say the Half Novus Ordo Vatican II "Motu" Mess of 1962+. For an initial period, many Novus Ordo presbyters signed up. But when they returned to their New Order dioceses, their bishops made sure that they didn't dare proceed to offer that Mess. As a result, they gave up. Now Novus Ordo presbyters no longer repair to the FSSP "Presto-Chango" workshops.
According to Williamson, Tissier and Galarreta are not in favor of Fellay's sellout deal. I can tell you that pseudo-traditionalists are moving Heaven and earth to keep this fact secret. Should the three SSPX bishops refuse the fourth's (Fellay's) deal, there will be a very dramatic split that will rip Fellay's cult to smithereens.
You TRADITIO Fathers hit the nail on the head when you wrote about Fellay's silence on paedophilia and sodomy against children. You are really onto something when you say: "His own membership might start investigating his own seminaries." I can say for a fact that the priests coming out of Fellay's Neo-SSPX seminaries do cover for paedophiles. I will not accuse "all priests," just the ones we have dealt with.
When the SSPX priests find out about a paedophile, they want the dirty little secret swept under the rug, and leave the paedophile working in their schools to rob the other children of their innocence. Then, if we laypeople say anything, we, not the paedophiles, are in Fellay-declared "Mortal Sin." They accuse us of trying to be heroes. They say that paedophiles need to support their family, the children need their father, whether he sodomizes them or not! At the Neo-SSPX schools they "expel" the children for minor infractions, yet they leave paedophile workers alone.
Fortunately, our family wasn't in Fellay's cult long enough for our thinking to have become so clouded that we don't know the difference between right and wrong.
In a May 2012 Letter to Friends and Benefactors, Arnaud Rostand, Bernie Fellay's Neo-SSPX gauleiter in the United States, has said that Fellay has placed himself "in the hands of the [Un]holy Father for his judgment." Rostand claims in his letter that "it is to our Superior General [Fellay], and only to him, that has been entrusted by the law of the Church and the will of Archbishop Lefebvre the delicate task of our relations with Rome." A report to the TRADITIO Fathers has indicated that although Fellay's "official line" is that he has not defected to the New Order, that is in fact a lie to catch his Neo-SSPXers unaware before his final sellout announcement, and that Fellay has in fact already furnished a sellout document to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the [New Order] Faith.
This contention of Rostand is an example of just how twisted Fellay and his Neo-SSPX have become. Fellay, in the eyes of Newchurch, is a schismatic and former excommunicate. He has no authority whatsoever in the eyes of Newchurch. When he has tried to ordain priests, the "Rome" that he pretends to obey has objected that he has no authority to do so. If Rostand, however, is not speaking of Newchurch as the "Church," then to what "Church" is he referring and to what "law?"
The only law that Fellay seems to recognize is the unCatholic, Modernist New Order "canon law" of 1983, and by that law he has no authority whatsoever! Is this the same twisted logic by which Fellay claims that the Protestant-Masonic-Pagan Novus Ordo service of 1969 is valid? Is this the same twisted logic by which Fellay claims that the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini's invalid, Protestantized New Ordinal of 1969 has the power to create anything other than Protestant ministers and Protestant bishops, certainly not Catholic priests and Catholic bishops?
But the personal sins of Fellay and his leaders are not enough. Rostand and Fellay now ask the members of the Neo-SSPX cult to join in their treachery and offer their prayers to get Benedict-Ratzinger to accept Fellay's sellout to the unCatholic New Order sect. Such treason is suggestive of the "unforgivable sin" of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost condemned by Jesus Christ, a perversion of the truth and a virtual apostasy from the true Faith. Surely Fellay needs all the prayers that he can get so that he returns to the true Faith before he falls into the bottomless pit, from which there is no escape.
It speaks volumes about the corruption and treason of Bernie Fellay that he has not issued one statement in seven years against the "Paedophile Pope," Benedict-Ratzinger, and his active complicity in suborning the rape of children by his New Order presbyters and bishops. Who but someone as corrupt as Fellay would even want to be associated with such filthy unCatholic, not to say unChristian, immorality? Certainly not the Catholic Fathers and Doctors of the Church, who publicly condemned the immoral popes of their time. But Fellay does not claim any affinity with that sublime group of Saints. Rather, Fellay's perfidious complicity with the "Paedophile Pope" recalls the condemnation issued by St. John Chrysostom, who himself was a Great Doctor of the Church, when he proclaimed: "The floor of Hell is paved with the skulls of rotten bishops." Fellay is rapidly becoming a member of that condemned crowd, by joining the New Order sect's "bishops."
Good Catholics, Fellay's unbroken silence on the moral corruption of Benedict-Ratzinger has to make sincere Neo-SSPXers wonder what is going on in their own seminaries. IS FELLAY AFRAID THAT IF HE CONDEMNS NEWCHURCH'S RAMPANT PAEDOPHILIA AND SODOMY AGAINST CHILDREN, HIS OWN MEMBERSHIP MIGHT START INVESTIGATING HIS OWN SEMINARIES TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE IMMORALITY EXISTS THERE AS IT EXISTS IN THE IMMORAL NEW ORDER SEMINARIES RUN BY "PAEDOPHILE POPE," WHOM FELLAY SUPPORTS?
When was the last time an independent audit was conducted of Neo-SSPX seminaries -- which would be all the more appropriate because Fellay is trying to extort even more money from his membership for an extravagant new seminary in the United States, when there is a perfectly good one there already for the puny number of priest-presbyters he ordains there annually. If we TRADITIO Fathers were Neo-SSPXers, we would certainly demand a public audit before we contributed one penny to Fellay's schemes!
Why was May 1, Communist May Day, changed from the traditional Feast of the Apostles Philip & James, Apostles, to the brand-new Feast of St. Joseph the Worker in the period just before Vatican II? That new feast sounds Novus Ordo to me!
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
When the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini was gaining the liturgical ascendency under the reign of Pius XII, preparing the Church for the implementation of the New Holy Week (1956), the Half Novus Ordo Mess (1962), and the Full Novus Ordo Mess (1969), he made a number of changes to the traditional liturgy. One of this was, on May 1, 1956, dumping the Double Feast of the Second Class, of the Apostles Philip & James, a feast going back to the ancient Church, and replacing it with the fabrication of a brand-new feast, the Feast of St. Joseph the Workman, later changed (in English) to St. Joseph the Worker so as not to offend the Newchurch feminists.
Many Catholics of the time, including those in the Roman Curia itself, thought that Pius XII had lost his mind by approving this "socialist" feast. They derisively called the new feast that of "Joe the Worker." In Italy, it was termed the feast of San Giuseppe Comunista, perhaps the worst liturgical novelty introduced under Pius XII, suppressing the feast to St. Joseph as the Patron of the Universal Church and making him some type of shop steward. The Office of the new feast has been described as "truly appalling, with lessons about multitudes of working men gathering in St. Peter's Square," reminding one more of the Communist Workers' Movement than of anything Catholic!
So horrified at the idea of this new feast was the venerable Sacred Congregation of Rites, which for 400 years had guarded the Sacred Liturgy against profanation, that it refused to compose the office and Mass. Many interventions were necessary before the Congregation of Rites agreed, against its will, to publish the Office in 1956 -- an office so badly composed that one might suspect it had been deliberately sabotaged. And it was only in 1960 that the melodies of the Mass and office were composed, melodies based on models of the worst taste.
Good Catholics, Bugnini's Modernist stratagem, acquiesced in by Pius XII, achieved its purpose: the virtual suppression of devotion to St. Joseph as the Universal Patron of the Church, so decreed by Pope Pius IX in 1870. It is this fabricated new feast that appears in Benedict-Ratzinger's "Motu" Mess of 1962+.
Benedict-Ratzinger's Great Sex & Embezzlement Holocaust is not going away, but is gaining steam. The "Paedophile Pope" has pulled every propaganda trick in the book, but, as they say, the fish stinks from the head. Now the British Broadcasting Corporation has outed his Newcardinal-Primate of Ireland, Sean Brady, as a child-rape facilitator, but Brady maintains that he won't resign. Those paedophile bishops never do, do they?
But Newcardinal Brady may have no choice but to get out. Certainly Ratzinger won't fire him. Ratzinger has never met a paedophile bishop he didn't like, even the one who raped his own nephew for years and then boasted of it on French television. But the Irish themselves may just run Brady out on a rail, so enraged are they over Ratzinger's personal hand in covering up from the Garda the rapes of "tens of thousands" of their children in New Order schools and orphanages.
Brady faced renewed pressure to resign May 2, 2012, after a BBC documentary documented his cover-up of rapes by a notorious paedophile presbyter, Brendan Smythe, who assaulted "scores of children." Brady, who like Pontius Pilate, washed his hands of the affair, expressed no remorse for his role in failing to protect the children, but instead said that he "felt betrayed." His statement did not address the issue why nobody in Newchurch, including himself, didn't call the police. Nor did it mention that he, as the canon lawyer in the two interviews of the children, required both boys to sign oaths of secrecy, promising not to tell anyone outside Newchurch of the sexual assaults they had suffered.
The boy known as the "Belfast victim" told the BBC that Brady and two other presbyters made his father wait outside the room when he told the presbyters the names and addresses of five other boys and girls that were being raped by Smythe. The BBC interviewed all five and reported that their parents never received any message of warning from Newchurch. The Belfast victim said he had been raped for another year, then his sister and four of their cousins.
Newcardinal Brady's gross immorality was directly attacked by one spokesman for the children. "Brady is offering the classic excuse of the Nazi death camp guard: I was only following orders. This is coming from an institution that is supposed to stand for love, truth, and justice." Smyth eventually left Ireland for the United States, where he raped dozens more children. He was finally caught, convicted on 74 counts of child rape, and imprisoned. His conviction helped open the floodgates for criminal complaints against hundreds of Irish presbyters, nuns, and other church officials.
Newcardinal Brady once declared that he would resign if his actions had resulted in abuse of even a single child. Just another lie on the part of Ratzinger's man. In Ireland, where Ratzinger and his Newchurch still run many hospitals and most schools, its standing has plummeted. A recent poll found that barely a third of Newchurchers even bother to go to the invalid Novus Ordo service any longer, down from 90 per cent.
Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny accused Ratzinger and his Newvatican of driving the culture of cover-up and failing to respond to the investigators' letters seeking evidence. When Ratzinger failed to respond, Ireland sent Ratzinger's ambassador home and closed its Newvatican embassy. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Associated Press.]
1988. A critical year for the SSPX. Archbishop Lefebvre realized that Newrome and its representative Josef Ratzinger were playing games with him. They never intended to allow his traditional organization to function within their Newchurch. They never intended to allow him to consecrate even one traditional bishop. The Archbishop, therefore, decided that he could waste no further time, but must consecrate four bishops to carry on the traditional Catholic Faith.
The Archbishop died in 1991, and Bernie Fellay, essentially Lefebvre's bookkeeper, took over as superior general and transformed the Archbishop's traditional Society into a gutted and gutless organization, which he carefully prepared over the ensuing years to be sold out to the New Order sect in Newrome, whose current leader, Benedict-Ratzinger, the Modernist "Fr." Ratzinger of Vatican II, the Archbishop had called "not Catholic."
Now one of Fellay's highest-ranking officials, Fr. Michel Simoulin, former (1988-1996) director of the International Seminary of St. Pius X in Econe, Switzerland, and now chaplain of the schools of the Dominican Sisters of Fanjeaux, France, has proclaimed in a May 2012 statement for Le Seignadou: "We cannot be 88ers!" In other words, Fellay's Neo-SSPX has dissociated itself from its Archbishop-Founder and his courageous actions of 1988 to consecrate traditional bishops and to shun Ratzinger as "not Catholic." Instead, Fellay's Neo-SSPX now associates itself with the Conciliar pope Benedict-Ratzinger, still the Modernist ever since Vatican II, proponent of that Modernist Council's New Order, and now the internationally-despised "Paedophile Pope" as well.
In what may be one of the most revealing statements about what motivates Fellay's sellout -- overweaning pride, what the ancient Greeks called hybris -- Semoulin reveals that Fellay is selling out the once-traditional SSPX because Fellay wants to play one-upsmanship over the Archbishop, the man whom he should especially respect as his consecrator. Apparently, without realizing what a revelation he has made, Semoulin states with a haughty sneer: "Fellay achieved more than what Abp. Lefebvre asked for, without having the latter's prestigate or moral authority."
And what is it that Fellay has accomplished? A sellout to Benedict-Ratzinger's Great "Motu" Mess Hoax: the acceptance of the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini's Half Novus Ordo Vatican II "Mess of 1962" as the Traditional Latin Mass. It isn't! It is a Protestantized, Masonized, paganized, bastardized form that in just seven more years was turned into the full-blown invalid Novus Ordo service of 1969.
And what is it that Fellay has accomplished? A doctrinal sellout to Benedict-Ratzinger's unCatholic New Order sect during two years of doctrinal "negotations," leading up to the impending (if not already effected) signing of the Modernist "Doctrinal Preamble," to make Fellay and those who are faithless enough to follow him, a full-fledged Modernist. Fellay will have performed a trick that the Great Houdini would have envied: Fellay will have used his magic wand to turn himself from a Neo-SSPX cult member to a New Order sect member. Abracadabra!
The kind of vicious propaganda that Fellay & Co. have been shoveling out like schwein-scheisse is well exemplified by Semoulin's statement that Fellay's Neo-SSPX "can only respect its founder's heritage by preserving his spirit, his love for the Church, and his desire of serving her as a loving son." Archbishop Lefebvre did that by standing courageously, almost alone amongst the episcopate, against the phony Newchurch and its Modernist "Fr." Ratzinger.
So, good Catholics, Bernie "Wrong Way" Fellay will turn on that same Faith on its head by selling out to the "Modernist Rome" and Benedict "Arnold" Ratzinger, both being proclaimed by the Archbishop as "not Catholic."
On April 23, 2102, in a letter to Bernie Fellay's District Superior in Argentina, Fr. Gabriel Grosso announced his resignation from the Neo-SSPX because it had aligned itself with "God's Enemies." The priest states that it is "harmful, to approach Modernist Rome, because up to the present time, it has shown it knows how to devour all the traditional groups and then reduce them to a synthesis that it believes to be the Church, that is to say, Vatican II. Of course, Benedict XVI is the principal mentor of this 'Rome.'"
Fr. Grosso associates himself with other prominent priests who have recently resigned from the Neo-SSPX: Fr. Juan Carlos Ceriani, Dean Floriano Abrahamovicz, and Prior Basilio Meramo. Fr. Grosso stated: "Given the path that it [the Neo-SSPX] undertook, the Society courts its own ruin." Quoting a chilling passage from St. John's Apocalypse, the last book of the New Testament, Fr. Grosso reminds Catholics that God's Enemies have a divine dispensation "to make war with the saints and to overcome them" (13:7/DRV). However, he states that this would not have happened without the infidelity of the head of the [Newchurch] group [Benedict-Ratzinger], because one sees that God abandons those who have abandoned Him first, "of which," Fr. Grosso states, "we see an example in the current Vatican, completely dominated by God's Enemies because it has abandoned our Lord Jesus Christ."
Finally, Fr. Grosso denounces the Neo-SSPX's Superior-Dictator, Bernie Fellay, for "giving sermons to scare the faithful" and for approaching the Rome anathematized by God: "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we [Apostles] have preached to you, let him be anathema."

Luiz Valentini, Benedict-Ratzinger's New Order sect bishop of Sao Paolo, Brazil, an avowed Socialist, was officially received by the anti-Catholic Freemasons on April 10, 2012, at the the Masonic Lodge "Colonel Balthazar" in Jales. He walked beside the Lodge's grandmaster under the Masonic umbrella, a parody of the traditional Catholic umbraculum that is used when a priest carries the Most Blessed Sacrament in procession.
In front of the Masonic altar, populated by four Masonic leaders in their pontificalia, with the Masonic all-seeing eye looking down on him, Valentini delivered a speech in which he claimed that the climate is now conducive to "fruitful dialogue and rapprochement" between the New Order sect and Freemasonry. Benedict-Ratzinger himself couldn't have chosen a more Modernist-sounding phrase! Valentini says that Ratzinger will allow him another four years to serve as Newbishop before he turns 75 and that during that time he will push for closer ties between unCatholic Newchurch and anti-Catholic Freemasonry. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Jornal de Jales.]
Much as the Motarians want to ignore the Novus Order service, the fact of the matter is that by decree of their beloved Benedict-Ratzinger, it is the "Ordinary" Mess of Newchurch, and they have to adhere publicly to that Modernist "doctrine" of his. Their Bugnini-fabricated "Extraordinary" Mess, otherwise known as the Mess of 1962+, is just that extra-ordinary: not their ordinary Mess.
We TRADITIO Fathers like to keep our readers apprised periodically about how stupid Benedict-Ratzinger's New Order sect is, the sect that the Motarians adhere to. The latest travesty is the "Easter Bunny Mess," concocted for the most sacred day of the Resurrection of the Lord. This Mess took place in Hartberg, Austria, on Easter 2012, at which the Easter Bunny, a pagan symbol, concelebrated Mess with the presbyter and handed out Easter eggs as "communion." For further information, click on the TRADITIO Network's Novus Ordo Service Photo Gallery department.
Good Catholics, how the Motarian sellouts to the New Order sect can claim that they are part of the Catholic faith when they accept these stupid and invalid "liturgies" as their "Ordinary" Mess is beyond us TRADITIO Fathers. These Motarians are not "traditionalists," but Novus Ordo "useful idiots," to use Stalin's famous phrase, and, what is more, by the Motarians' acceptance of the New Order sect, they are as "idiotic" as their leader, the Modernist "Fr." Ratzinger of Vatican II.
In his Bulletin of April 28, 2012, the Neo-SSPX's senior bishop, Richard Williamson, has objected to a sellout of the organization by its Superiior-Dictator, Bernie Fellay, in his strongest terms to date.
Williamson's bulletin focuses primarily on the unCatholic teachings by the Modernist Vatican II Council and its Conciliar popes as "heretical." Williamson terms any "purely practical agreement with the authorities of the Conciliar Church in [New]rome" to be a "bypass" of Catholic doctrinal teachings for "souls concerned for their eternal welfare." He concludes: "Since the unity of the Church rests on the integrity of the Faith, it is clear that the SSPX cannot come to any agreement, be it only 'practical,' with those who hold such doctrines." He quotes a summary of the heretical teaching:
Vatican II declared that by reason of the dignity of his nature, the human person has the right to practice the religion of his choice. Accordingly society must protect religious liberty and organize the peaceful co-existence of the various religions. These are invited to take part in ecumenical dialogue, since they all possess their own part of truth. In effect, such principles deny that Christ is truly God, and they deny that his Revelation, the Deposit of which is guarded by the Church, must be accepted by all men and all societies. Thus, the doctrine of religious liberty, as expressed in the Conciliar document Dignitatis Humanae #2, contradicts the teachings of Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos, of Pius IX in Quanta Cura, of Leo XIII in Immortale Dei, and of Pius XI in Quas Primas.
The doctrine expressed in the "Dogmatic" Constitution Lumen Gentium #8, according to which divine Providence uses non-Catholic sects as means of salvation, contradicts the teachings of Pius IX in the Syllabus, of Leo XIII in Satis Cognitum, and of Pius XI in Mortalium Animos. These novel doctrines of Vatican II, which, along with many others, contradict the formal and unanimous teachings of Popes before the Council, can only be qualified in the light of Catholic dogma as heretical.
Archbishop Lefebvre said to priests of his in 1990, half a year before he died: "The more one analyzes the documents of Vatican II..., the more one realizes that what is at stake is... a wholesale perversion of the mind, a whole new philosophy based on modern philosophy, on subjectivism.... It is a wholly different version of Revelation, of Faith, of philosophy.... It is truly frightening."
Archbishop Lefebvre, the founder of the SSPX in 1970, died in 1991. It is clear that the more the years passed and that the more unCatholic the New Order sect of the Conciliar popes became over those years, the more the Archbishop considered the Conciliar Church not just "Modernist Rome," but truly heretical, at least materially. There is also evidence from the Archbishop's writings that if he had lived just a few years longer, he would have rejected the Half Novus Ordo Vatican Mess of 1962 and returned to the fully Traditional Latin Mass pre 1956. According to an SSPX priest who knew the Archbishop quite well, the Archbishop just before his death in 1991 was seriously considering abandoning entirely the Half Novus Ordo Vatican II Mess of 1962 and making the pre-1956 Missale Romanum, that is, the fully Traditional Latin Mass, normative for the SSPX.
Abp. Lefebvre regarded the Mess of 1962 as severely compromised. He required at SSPX sites the so-called "second" Confiteor before the Communion of the people. He also required the traditional adjective perfidis (faithless) in the litanical prayer for the Jews on Good Friday. He also required the traditional ceremonial re-entry into the church on Palm Sunday, which had been removed in the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini's first wave of Protestantized modernizations in 1956. Under Archbishop Lefebvre some of the SSPX districts followed the fully Traditional Latin Mass. Under Bernie Fellay, none of his Neo-SSPX priest-presbyters is allowed to use the Traditional Latin Mass because it would be an embarrassment to the Modernist Newpope Benedict-Ratzinger and his Great "Motu" Hoax of 2007.
Thank goodness that the Novus Ordo "eucharist" is invalid, a mere green cookie. Otherwise, now Catholics would have to believe that Christ died on the Cross to promote "ecology"! Benedict-Ratzinger's New Order sect has now issued in a joint declaration with the heretic Methodists this phony theology that makes Ratzinger's New Ordo sect once more look like the unCatholic -- and even ludicrous -- sect that it is.
The United States Conference of Catholic [Sic] Bishops has announced the publication of "Heaven and Earth Are Full of Your Glory: A United Methodist and Roman Catholic Statement on the Eucharist and Ecology." The unCatholic Newbishops' joint statement with the heretical Methodists sounds truly demented when they proclaim: "Eucharistic renewal and environmental responsibility are intrinsically linked." [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Catholic World News.]
Wait a minute! The true Holy Eucharist is supposed to the eternal Body and Blood of Christ. The Bible makes it quite clear that this earth is merely temporary and will fade into nothingness: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away" (Matthew 24:35/DRV). Are these New Order bishops even Christian? Have they even read the Bible? Or are they making up an even more radical New Order sect as they go along, just because they wear false pointed hats?
Good Catholics, this is the unCatholic stupidity that Bernie Fellay, Superior-Dictator, of the Neo-SSPX, drools from the mouth to become a part of. The Fellayites had better heed the wisdom of the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes: "Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever!"
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
I have been reading TRADITIO for the past eight years in secret, never mentioning it to my family or church family. I have come to the conclusion that I cannot any longer keep silent my longing to attend the Traditional Latin Mass and to immerse myself in a traditional catholic community. You see, I serve as a catechist and a lector at my New Order parish and have good relationships with the presbyter there, who is as "traditional" as he can be in the New Order sect.
I feel that I have lost my Catholic faith completely in this environment. I read your site and see the Catholicism that I have read about in books before the Modernists took it over, a catholicism that I'd be willing to give my life for. Recently I found a traditional chapel nearby not associated with Newchurch. But I just don't know how to break with my current church family and face my own Novus Ordo family. How do I stand up and find the courage to do the right thing?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply.
These people are supposed to believe in Vatican II's false teaching of "oecumenism," but when it comes down to it, they are just bullies for Modernism. Play on their hypocrisy. If you wanted to become a Methodist, they'd probably support your decision!
Just explain to these people briefly your decision. Don't be argumentative. It's your life and your decision. Tell them that if they want to respond this one time, you will listen as a courtesy (and be prepared for fanatical bashing from them), but tell them that from then on you don't want to hear any more on the subject. You're not interfering in their choice of religion; they have no right to interfere in yours.
Realize that the first reaction from these people may be hostile, but that is the result of fifty years of propaganda from the phony and unCatholic New Order ("they know not what they do"). Realize that their opinion may change later when they see your example of commitment to true Catholicism. Read up on the early Martyrs of the Church and select one as your patron and advocate. When you are attacked or waver, pray to this Martyr. They are most powerful with God.
The hedonist Newchurch of the New Order has obliterated the Biblical truth that Christ did not promise an easy life for his true followers on this earth. In fact, He specifically warned those who would follow Him, in his Sermon on the Mount:
10. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.
11. Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil
against you, untruly, for my sake:
12. Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the
prophets that were before you.
13. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savor, wherewith shall it be salted?
It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men.
14. You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain \cannot be hid.
15. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may
shine to all that are in the house.
16. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father
who is in heaven.
These verses would be wonderful to memorize and pray daily in your evening prayers to remind you that what you are doing is just what Christ would want you to do, and in that, you are the true Christian.
One of the brightest young U.S. Republican legislative leaders hit Newchurch back right where it hurt. The New Order sect has been trying criticize conservative economic policies offered by Paul Ryan, the U.S. House Budget Committee Chairman. These policies are intended to get the United States back from the brink of a skyrocketing debt engineered by Barack Obama, who has now outspent all of his predecessors back to George Washington.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic [Sic] Bishops had tried to shaft Ryan's sound economic policy by claiming that it isn't "Catholic," as it affects programs for the poor. The courageous Ryan walked into the lion's den, the auditorium of the "Catholic" University of Georgetown in Washington, D.C., where Obama had the name of Jesus Christ covered up for his speech there in 2009. Ryan spoke with all the 1789 Catholic symbolism intact.
Ryan castrated the phony arguments of the "Catholic" Newbishops by point out that even Benedict-Ratzinger, a socialist, had had to admit that governments, communities, and individuals running up high debt levels are "living at the expense of future generations" and "living in untruth." Oops! Moreover, Ryan cited as his authority a name barely recognized by the Newjesuits at Georgetown, now known more for their order's paedophile crimes than for their theological knowledge. Ryan cited as his supporter the Universal Doctor of the Church, whom the New Order sect has ignored, St. Thomas Aquinas. You can't get any higher authority than that in the Church!

Dear TRADITIO Fathers:
I strongly support your findings on the statistics for the (Half Novus Ordo Vatican II) "Motu" Mess of 1962+ under the auspices of the New Order sect. As it happens, I watch the numbers very carefully and have done extensive analyses of trends over the years, whether for the New Order sect's "Motu" Messes, SSPX Messes, or independent Masses. My own findings are as follows:
Benedict-Ratzinger's "Motu" Mess is a fraud. The Congregation for the [New Order] Doctrine of the Faith is too busy working on a new new new "Motu" Missal for 2012 to enforce the "Motu" Mess in the New Order sect, even if it wanted to. The Ecclesia Dei Commission's Guido Pozzo is far too busy destroying the Institute of the Good Shepherd (IBP) to implement Ratzinger's "Motu" Mess in the New Order sect. The CDF is fresh from decimating the Traditional Anglican Communion (TAC) and handing over its people to the New Order sect.
Meanwhile, Fr. Berg is turning the Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) into a pleasant club, and its missionary fervor is just gone. Gone are the days when it tried to provide "Motu" Masses as widely as possible. Protocol 1411-99, requiring "Motu" organizations to use the invalid Protestant-Masonic-Pagan Novus Ordo service on occasion was a nightmare, and now that nightmare is being imposed on other pseudo-traditionalists in Newchurch.
Will the Neo-SSPX's Fellay pay attention to these betrayals of the Traditional Anglican Communion, the FSSP, the IBP, the TAC, and the Papa Stronsay Orphans of the Redeemer? Will he mark the writing on the wall? Or does he fancy ecclesial suicide?
