they are led to accept the false teachings coming of Vatican II mentioned above. It is rather interesting to note that both groups, conservatives and OUR LADY OF FATIMA sedevacantists, use the same principle: “The Pope is infallible in everything and what he teaches is true and good.” The difference is in the application Traditional Mass of the principle. The conservatives explain that since Vatican II had papal Roman approval, we must blindly embrace its teaching, true and good, however uneasy we may feel about it. The sedevacantists on the other hand argue SOCIETY OF SAINT PIUS X that, since Vatican II truly promotes heresies, its authority could not come from the true Pope. This is the perfect dilemma: either neo-con or sedevacantist! The solution of the dilemma resides in the principle itself. Infallibility is not a universal note of anything and everything which comes out of the Pope or . It is limited to specific documents which need specific conditions to have the rubber stamp of infallibility attached to it. And this is where Vatican II and the legislation around the new Mass falter. Lefebvre, in his knowledge of Roman politics and supernatural wisdom, knew the major issues which took place during Vatican II: he presided over the Coetus, that group of bishops who counteracted the modernists from the Rhine countries. Unlike the sedevacantists, the true saint that he was, was not scandalized by the awful twists made to the faith and the Mass under the name of . He resisted the modernist Rome as a lion, and yet, recognized the authority of the Roman Pontiff. He acted in the way a good child would do by resisting his Dad who would ask him to go out stealing, although he still acknowledges him to be his Dad. Some sedevacantists object that traditional priests (incl. SSPX), invoke the person of the Pope by saying “una cum” at the Canon of the Mass. For them to be ‘una cum’ is to say Amen to the Papal heresies. In reality, the term is best translated by saying that we pray for the Pope, as the visible head of the Church. As much as we need to beware of the sedevacantist bee in our bonnet, we would be better off falling into it than into the conservative error which swallows heresy under the guise of the ‘all-Infallible-never-wrong Pope.”

Sedevacantism is a mere theory which is virtually impossible to prove at The Transfiguration of Our Lord this juncture, and which is rather imprudent to hold. We know of quite a few saints who forcefully resisted a pope’s errors, yet none of them was Rev. Fr. Dominique Bourmaud ever a sedevacantist. This is why Archbishop Lefebvre, for all his Pastor opposition to modernist Rome, never adopted this position, and even Our Lady of Fatima: St. Vincent de Paul Priory: Our Lady of Mount Carmel: Third and Peach (Fr. Bourmaud’s Residence) 3900 Scruggs Drive forbade the priests of the Society of St. Pius X to profess it. PO Box 141 3110 Flora Avenue N.

Sunday, 21st: Mass……………………………………………………12 PM is a big word which literally means that the is vacant, Saturday, 27th: Mass……………………………………………………..5 PM i.e. the one seating on the See of Peter is not the true Pope. The reason argued Sunday, 28th: Mass……………………………………………………12 PM by the sedevacantists is that the Church crisis has the backing of the bishop of

Rome. He is, by omission or commission, promoting such errors and heresies

as the new Mass, ecumenism, religious liberty and collegiality. The SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS CONFESSIONS BEGIN 1 HOUR BEFORE MASS sedevacantists think that real popes could not be responsible for such a crisis. UNLESS OTHERWISE LISTED Another group has emerged from the crisis, which is the conservative group which upholds whatever the Pope says because he is the Pope. Thus,
