MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL CHAPEL REACHE S 25 YEAR S n November 23, 2008, the faithful at St. Michael the Archangel Church in FARMINGVILLE, NY celebrated their chapel’s 25th anniversary with a Solemn High Mass followed by a banquet which Oincluded a slideshow on the chapel’s history. Centrally located on Long Island, the chapel’s development began over a decade before its establishment in November 1983, and was often near the historical eye of the SSPX’s formative years in the United States of America. In fact, two of its original parishioners would exercise a substantial impact in the early history of the SSPX’s apostolate in the United States. The flash point for the chapel’s inception occurred in April 1970 with the introduction of the St. Michael the Archangel Church as it appears today. The exterior Novus Ordo Missae wooden framework is supposed to imitate the English Tudor Gothic style. in the Rockville Center diocese that encompassed the Catholic parishes on Long Island. It immediately became clear to some Long Island Catholics that This circa 1981 photograph shows from left the New Mass was to right, Alfred Skidmore, Fr.

    Regina Coeli Report Number 258 July - August 2014 SSPX Mission in the U.S. 44 Years of Fidelity! From the foundation of the Society, the U.S. has been included in its development. What has been the reason for this impressive growth and vitality we find today compared to its humble beginnings? It is fidel- ity to the line of Archbishop Lefebvre! “For the glory of the Most Blessed Trinity, for the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ, for the sake of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, for the love of the Church, for the love of the pope, for the love of bishops, of priests, of all the faithful, for the salvation of the world, for the salvation of souls, keep this testament of Our Lord Jesus Christ! Keep the Sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Keep the Mass of All Time! “Then you will see Christian civilization flourish again, a civilization that is not of this world, but a civilization that leads to the Catholic City which is heaven.” Marcel Lefebvre, Paris, September 23, 1979 Archbishop Lefebvre at Ridgefield, CT in 1985.

It corresponds to the dream he had in his cathedral at Dakar in the fifties. He modestly spoke of it in the Preface of his Spiritual Journey: “In the face of the progressive degradation of the priestly ideal, my dream was to transmit the Catholic Priesthood of Our Lord Jesus Christ in all its doctrinal purity and in all its missionary charity, just as He conferred it on His Apostles, just as the Roman Church always transmitted it until the middle of the twentieth century.” After forty years, the Society of Saint Pius X can be found all over the world.

  • Paix Liturgique France
    PAIX LITURGIQUE Notre lettre 794 publiée le 26 avril 2021 LE SEDEVACANTISME ET LE MONDE DES INDEPENDANTS AUX ETATS-UNIS SEPTIEME VOLET DE NOTRE ENQUETE SUR LA TRADITION CATHOLIQUE AUX USA Ayant traité dans les six premières lettres de notre enquête du catholicisme aux États-Unis et spécialement du catholicisme traditionnel, il nous a paru important de donner également une information objective à nos lecteurs sur une mouvance qui, aux États-Unis, a une surface notable, celle des sédévacantistes. Un commentateur averti de l’intérieur, l’abbé Anthony Cekada, a pu écrire en 2008, qu’en « France, la présence sédévacantiste sur la scène traditionaliste est minuscule […] En Amérique, ça n’est pas le cas » ( « The Nine vs. Lefebvre: We Resist You to Your Face », dans Tradional Mass Magazine, 29 Septembre 2008). En outre, les réponses de notre ami Daniel Hamiche feront apparaître aussi un phénomène très important numériquement aux États-Unis, qui n’est pas connu en France à cette échelle, celui des prêtres (et parfois évêques) traditionalistes indépendants. Paix Liturgique – Cher Daniel, voudriez-vous nous rappeler ce que sont les sédévacantistes ? Daniel Hamiche – Les sédévacantistes considèrent que le siège romain (en latin sedes) est actuellement vacant (vacans). Dans cette optique, pour eux, Jorge Bergoglio n’exerce pas la fonction pontificale. Ils reconnaissent les papes jusqu’à Pie XII inclusivement. Pour un certain nombre d’entre eux, Jean XXIII, pour des raisons diverses (hérésies, appartenance à la franc-maçonnerie, …), était inéligible au pontificat et donc son élection était viciée par la matière, ou encore il déchut de sa fonction le jour où il convoqua Vatican II.

Rather than give the names of some friends who wrote me emails and asked me to correspond with them and answer questions, in this letter on the public website I am only going to refer to them as F1 (as one friend), F2 (as another friend), F3 (as another friend), F4 (as another friend). F1 sent me an email March 5, 2020 and asked “What do you think of the following”; and then he sent information that was mostly taken from the CMRI website. Correspondence went back and forth for a while, and although I have other daily duties to also be taken care of, I will herein provide some information – although it will not be the complete in depth answers to explain about all of the articles accessed from the hyperlinks F1 sent me. Not long after F1 and I exchanged a few emails, another correspondence through email took place with F2. In the meantime, while I have been writing this letter, F3 also sent me an email asking me to comment on information from F4’s website. Because the subject matter for all of these email correspondences are closely related and intertwined; I have decided to see if I can address all of them in this one Combined Response to the questions asked in the emails.

  • ARCHBISHOP” LEFEBVRE’S SATAN-INSPIRED, “TRADITIONALIST” IMPOSTURE by the DETECTION of the INVALIDITY of HIS OWN ORDERS No
    LEFEBVRE The Final Unmasking Hugo Maria Kellner [We received this article recently. Mr. Kellner, a former seminarian from Austria, died years ago, so he can’t object to the large cuts, which little concerned the main argument. We received none of the exhibits to which he refers, but he quoted some of them in his own text. He sometimes expresses wonder at the lack of effective confrontations between Lefebvre and Montini. We can conclude that he had not realized that they were on the same side; they both sought the death of the Catholic Church. All their battles were sham.] THE FINAL UNMASKING OF “ARCHBISHOP” LEFEBVRE’S SATAN-INSPIRED, “TRADITIONALIST” IMPOSTURE BY THE DETECTION OF THE INVALIDITY OF HIS OWN ORDERS No. 72, issued July 1977 By Hugo Maria Kellner As I have proved in my article No. 70 of January 15, 1976, the apostasy of the almost complete Catholic Church “organization from true God-centeredness and God-centered morality following Vatican II was the concluding stage of the apostasy of mankind. This apostasy started on a worldwide basis with the Protestant “Reformation” in the sixteenth century and will end according to the prophecies of Holy Scripture, with the annihilation of mankind.. This annihilation is already ominously heralded by the nuclear weapons which are stocked by the military superpowers in quantities sufficient to destroy mankind hundreds of times at any time. Chapter 11 of the Apocalypse is of particular interest in our days, because it indicates that, after the apostasy of the overwhelming part of the Catholic Church in the aftermath of Vatican II, Christ’s Church will be revived.

  • Sedevacantism and Antipopes
    Sedevacantism and Antipopes From "Religions of the World: A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Beliefs and Practices" Copyright 2010 by ABC-CLIO, LLC In the wake of the Second Vatican Council, several arch-conservative Roman Catholic groups began to adopt a critical attitude toward the hierarchy. The largest of these groups later became the Society (or Fraternity) of Saint Pius X, under the leadership of French archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (1905-1991). Lefebvre, however, never questioned the legitimacy of Pope Paul VI (1897-1978), or that of his successors. Lefebvre’s view was that they were leaders of dubious doctrines and actions (thus justifying Lefebvre in promoting what, according to Rome, amounted to a schism), but did not conclude that such wrongdoings should automatically invalidate their papal canonical role. Inside and outside the Society of Saint Pius X, more radical groups emerged, each concluding that, after the Second Vatican Council, the popes had lost their legitimacy as a result of their heretical teachings; this implied that the Holy See of Rome (Latin: Sedes) was technically “vacant”—that is, there was no legitimate pope. Hence the name of Sedevacantism was given to the movement, which was vehemently critical of Lefebvre and his Society. The latter, in fact, although critical of the pope, continued to pray for him in its Masses with the ritual formula una cum Pontifice nostro (in unity with our pope). Sedevacantists regarded what they called the una cum Masses as ipso facto invalid, just as both Sedevacantists and members of the Lefebvre movement regarded Masses celebrated according to post-Second Vatican Council liturgical renewal as invalid.

  • La Validité Des Consécrations De Mgr Thuc Abbé Cekada La Validité Des Consécrations De Mgr Thuc
    La Validité des Consécrations de Mgr Thuc Abbé Cekada La Validité des Consécrations de Mgr Thuc Par M. l'Abbé Anthony Cekada Sacerdotium n°3, Printemps 1992. EtudesAntimodernistes.fr, Décembre 2016. Lors d'une conversation avec l'archevêque Mgr Marcel Lefebvre en 1980, je fis allusion à mes inquiétudes quant à trouver un évêque après sa mort qui pourrait ordonner des prêtres catholiques traditionnels et confirmer nos enfants. L'archevêque — à cette époque il n'avait pas indiqué s'il consacrerait un jour des évêques — répondit avec tact que la question l'inquiétait lui aussi, et que « Deus providebit » — Dieu pourvoira. Il ajouta, avec un de ces rires typiquement français, que chaque fois qu'il avait une petite toux ou qu'il reniflait dans la chapelle du séminaire d'Ecône, il pouvait presque entendre les 80 séminaristes changer en silence leur prière en une unique et fervente demande : « Seigneur, faites qu'il vive — au moins jusqu'à ce qu'il m'ordonne ! » Cette anecdote amusante met en lumière une question sérieuse : en tant que catholiques traditionnels, les sacrements constituent le centre de notre vie spirituelle et la clé de notre salut. Nous savons que si nous voulons entendre la Messe, recevoir la Sainte Communion, avoir nos péchés absous et être fortifiés par les derniers sacrements, nous avons besoin de prêtres. Et nous savons qu'il n'y a que des évêques qui puissent faire des prêtres. Où donc, alors, pourrions-nous aller trouver les évêques qui ordonnent des prêtres catholiques traditionnels, et faire ainsi en sorte que la Messe Latine traditionnelle continue à être célébrée sur nos autels ? Les laïcs et le clergé ayant des liens avec la Fraternité Saint Pie X (en particulier les séminaristes nerveux) n'ont plus besoin de s'inquiéter.
