  • Is This Operation Suicide?
    Is this Operation Suicide? An Analysis of the evidence relating to an agreement between the Society of Saint Pius X and the Conciliar Church of Rome With material compiled by Stephen J. Fox 1 In this book I seek to analyse the evidence relating to a possible agreement between the Society of Saint Pius X and the Conciliar Church. I conclude that many of the Superiors of the Society are prepared to enter into an agreement with the Conciliar Church, where that agreement is a practical agreement (only), without a doctrinal resolution and the terms of which would mean that the Society would be subject to the Conciliar Church. I conclude that the conduct of many of the Superiors of the Society in relation to a possible agreement with the Conciliar Church represents a staggering change from the Society's principles and direction. I conclude that the position adopted by many of the Superiors of the Society in relation to such an agreement is contrary to the position of the Society's founder, Archbishop Lefebvre. Archbishop Lefebvre said the following words on 6 September 19901: "Some people are always admiring the grass in the neighbour's field...they look to our enemies on the other side. "After all, we must be charitable, we must be kind, we must not be divisive, after all, they are celebrating the Tridentine Mass, they are not as bad as everyone says" —but THEY ARE BETRAYING US —betraying us! They are shaking hands with the Church's destroyers. They are shaking hands with people holding modernist and liberal ideas condemned by the Church.

    September 2, 2002 Dear Friends, In a letter dated December 8, 2001, I revealed that Fr. Carlos Urrutigoity, the founder and former superior general of the Society of St. John, had been dismissed for homosexual behavior when he was a seminarian at the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) seminary in La Reja, Argentina. In that same letter, I noted that Urrutigoity, after he had been dismissed from the seminary in La Reja, was admitted as a seminarian into the SSPX seminary in Winona, Minnesota, where he was eventually ordained and made a professor. Finally, I further mentioned that Fr. Urrutigoity was subsequently expelled from the seminary in Winona as a result of his subversive activities. My letter left many readers with the same question: How could it be that the SSPX dismissed Carlos Urrutigoity for homosexual behavior from one of its seminaries, but subsequently accepted him into another SSPX seminary, and then ultimately ordained him a priest and even made him a professor there? I put this same question to Bishop Richard Williamson of the SSPX whom I contacted shortly after I learned that Fr. Urrutigoity had been accused of homosexual behavior as far back as his seminary days in La Reja. Bishop Williamson explained to me that Carlos Urrutigoity had indeed been dismissed from the SSPX seminary in La Reja for homosexual behavior, but that he was received into the SSPX seminary in Winona because the key SSPX authorities in North and South American did not believe the charges against him. According to Bishop Williamson (and others within the SSPX with whom I spoke), the charges against then seminarian Urrutigoity were not believed because of a deep division that was then taking place within the SSPX district in South America.

  • The Gay Predator Priest Urrutigoity Protected for 10 Years by the 1 2 Former Anglican Bishop Williamson-‘Cunctator ’ with the Rose [2]

The gay predator priest Urrutigoity protected for 10 years by the 1 2 former Anglican Bishop Williamson-‘Cunctator ’ with the Rose [2] A gay priest, ordained in the SSPX, protected by Bishop Williamson and denounced by Bishop Fellay What does this protection mean? Why did it last so long? (10 years) Do we have to consider from now on the hypothesis of a gay network having infiltrated the SSPX? Would Bishop Williamson prefer being gay more than thinking the « sedevacantist » way? EXHAUSTIVE TRANSLATION OF FRENCH STUDY3 (COMPLETE DOCUMENT) The peculiar facts concerning Bishop Williamson keep building up. More and more actions and connections are coming to light about the one time Cambridge4 graduate bishop, revealing his real face, instead of that of the man who unconditionally opposes the affiliation and the Conciliar Church that he pretends to be. His acts show Bishop Williamson to be a decoy, plotting with Fr. Schmidberger, playing the part of expelling from the SPPX each priest suspected of sedevacantist sympathies, and to attract the real opponents into the arms of the Rome of the « antichrists », meanwhile counteracting them. Exactly this way he has got the supervision of the Le Sel de la terre magazine of the dominicans of Avrillé. Earlier, we revealed the Anglican-Fabien Society, globalist environment of his mentor, Malcolm Muggeridge5. Then, his unusual episcopal coat of arms, with its obviously rosi+crucian6 symbolism.

  • Catholic Candle's List of Priests & Those Who Claim to Be Priests
    Revision date: November 6, 2020 Catholic Candle’s List of Priests & Those Who Claim to be Priests This list primarily focuses on whether there is any doubt concerning the validity of the ordination of a priest whom the faithful might encounter. Note: Catholic sacramental theology requires that an ordination be treated as invalid if even the slightest reasonable doubt exists, concerning the validity of either the ordination or the ordaining bishop’s consecration. See the analyses elsewhere in Catholic Candle, which demonstrate the inherent doubtfulness of conciliar ordinations and consecrations: http://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/new-ordination-doubtful.html https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGd2RRcTFSY29EYzg/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGZVF5cmFvMGdZM0U/view Also, in the list below, Catholic Candle flags sedevacantist priests (or supposed priests) of which we are aware. Sedevacantism is a grave error and is schism. See this article analyzing the sedevacantist error: https://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/against-sedevacantism.html This is not a list of “approved” priests. It is the beginning of a prudent investigation concerning a particular priest. Fr. Patrick Abbet From Switzerland. Ordained in 2002. Source: STAS.org website, where he was an SSPX seminary professor. Fr. Stephen Abraham As of April 2017, he lives in a house with Bishop Richard Nelson Williamson, in Broadstairs, England. There are serious problems with this SSPX-ordained priest. Stay away from him! If you have a serious practical reason to know more information, please contact Catholic Candle. 1 Revision date: November 6, 2020 Fr. Albert Kallio, O.P.

  • Convictions 15.Indd
    issue number 15 - February 2009 CONVICTIONS The Lifting of the excommunication Convictions, issue number 15 - February 2009 1 Dear readers, This issue # 15 of Convictions marks the beginning of a new and important phase in the life of our District magazine. Thanks to the zeal and experience of Fr. Wegner, who had been for many years Superior of the District of Holland-Belgium and at the same time in charge of its magazine, Convictions is receiving a new impulse, a new life, a new importance. As we said in our last issue, it is now being published ten times a year (instead of four) and the number of copies printed will be doubled. We are also working with Canada Post to benefi t from their program assisting small pub- lications like Convictions. Many people asked me how I was going to be able to come out with ten issues (still in both lan- guages) every year? I answered: I cannot! Indeed, it was already quite a challenge for me to publish four times a year. This means we have to make drastic changes if we are to attain our new objectives. Basically, and remaining open to future adjustments, Rev. Fr. Wegner and myself have divided the work in two categories: The creation part (articles, pictures, lay-out, design…) will be done in To- ronto; the publication part (fi nal proof-reading, printing, mailing, subscription management…) will stay in Winnipeg. Time permitting, I will still do some translations and write the occasional article, but I will not be tied to the writing of a regular editorial, as was the case until now.

Joachim Nabuco (Desclee, 1962— available as a comb-bound reprint from Romanitas Press); volume I, pp 33-52a. Foreword When the sacrament of confirmation is administered within the chapels of the Society of St. Pius X by its own bishops,1 it is customarily performed as outlined in these notes. The following clarifications should also be noted. Though the confirmation ceremony is typically treated by rubricians as integral to an episcopal visitation of a parish, currently this is not a task practiced by the Society’s superior general, bishops, or district superiors.2 Hence, there is no official reception by the pastor of the confirming bishop either at the chapel’s front doors3 or when upon arriving at the altar.4 Furthermore, though a Society bishop is not a local ordinary,5 nevertheless the confirmation ceremony will be enacted in the same manner,6 including the type of reverences given to him by the ministers.7 The Society’s bishops also tend to administer confirmations with Mass immediately following, so rubricians presume that only the ministers required for the ceremony will be present in the sanctuary.

  • Reflections About the Roman Proposal from Bishop Alfonso De Galarreta
    Reflections about the Roman Proposal from Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta NB: The following reflections by His Excellency Bishop de Galarreta were made available at the October, 2011 meeting of SSPX Superiors in Albano, Italy. During the last week of June, 2012, this document became publicly available. Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta, was the Society’s chairman for the Rome-SSPX commission in charge of the theological discussions, and although his remarks were based on a proposal which has undergone some revisions, these reflections remain most current. To limit myself to the "Preliminary Note" and "doctrinal Preamble", I must immediately state that they are confusing, misleading, false and essentially bad. Even the apparent openness to criticism of the Council is enigmatic and cunning, a well-trained trap ("... legitimate (?) discussion . expressions or formulations . as "interpretive criteria of necessary Catholic doctrine...", that is to say, according to the "Preamble" II and III, 2, especially the end). This document is substantially unacceptable. It is worse than the 1988 Protocol, in particular in relation to the Council and the post-conciliar magisterium. Archbishop Lefebvre: Our true believers, those who understand the problem and we have just helped to continue the straight and firm and the Tradition of faith, feared the steps I made in Rome. They told me it was dangerous and that I was wasting my time. Yes, of course, I hoped until the last minute in Rome has to testify a little bit of loyalty. You can not blame me for not doing the maximum. So now, those who say to me, you must agree with Rome, I can safely say that I went even farther than I should have stayed.

Mons. Ploscaru a avut maximă înţelegere pentru vasta şi de-a lungul anilor încropită colecţie de autografe episcopale, şi a trimis pentru arhiva mea mai multe autografe inestimabile din posesia sa, de pildă semnăturile Servilor lui Dumnezeu Episcopii Iuliu Hossu, Vasile Aftenie, Ioan Bălan, Ioan Suciu, Alexandru Rusu, şi alţii, pentru care sunt legat de Episcopul Ploscaru de o specială gratitudine.
