SSPX's 2012 Doctrinal Declaration

[Stone]

Part II: Adapted from the Cor Mariae forum

SSPX Doctrinal Declaration: is it Official Policy?

We have been hearing from a few that the SSPX Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 is not Official Policy; and if it was, it was “withdrawn” by Bishop Fellay.

Such a statement would attribute the SSPX Doctrinal Declaration to be a political circumstance in a given time.

What is contrary from that particular thought is that the ACTUAL value of the said SSPX Doctrinal Declaration is just that: a DOCTRINAL DECLARATION. The contents manifest an explicit intention to declare Doctrine; thereby to receive agreement in the format that it was sent by delegation to conciliar Rome as a Preamble for an agreement of wills.

It needs to be understood that when one declares Doctrine, especially a Catholic Bishop, that one has their salvation on the line to merit grace if it is for Truth in honor of the True God, or to merit damnation in being an agent of the devil to deceive another, knowingly or unknowingly.

Archbishop Lefebvre had made several Doctrinal Declarations to conciliar Rome, such as his famous 1974 Doctrinal Declaration that he died with, and the old-sspx still maintains. archives.sspx.org/archbishop_lefebvre/1974_declaration_of_archbishop_lefebvre.htm

Bishop Fellay had also made his own Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 that turned the course of the sspx; and which he still maintains today.

From the onset, let there be no mistake, Bishop Fellay's new SSPX Doctrinal Declaration is alive and well, and is carrying its course.


WHEREAS:

• The 3-SSPX Bishops sent an Official letter to Bishop Fellay, the Superior General, and the General Council on April 7, 2012 not to pursue a practical deal with conciliar Rome; that was an official act. [/url]www.therecusant.com/menz-letter-to-3-bishops

• Bishop Fellay and the General Council responded with adamancy and deceit on April 14, 2012; that was an official act.

• The following day, Bishop Fellay’s SSPX Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 was secretly handed to Pope Benedict XVI as a Preamble for a deal with conciliar Rome; that was an Official act. www.therecusant.com/doctrinalpreamble-15apr2012

• That [secret] official SSPX Doctrinal Declaration was leaked to the public in [May] 2012. That was the first time the lower ranks of the SSPX priests had seen on paper the workings of Menzingen betray the old-sspx; to great scandal.

• In July 2012, the SSPX General Chapter was officially in heated discussion over that Doctrinal Declaration, per Fr. Fuchs who was there, and now with the Catholic Resistance. The General Chapter ended without condemnation of that Doctrinal Declaration; therefore in acceptance; that is an official act.

• The SSPX General Chapter wrote 6-new conditions to conciliar Rome for a practical agreement to commence; that is an official act. In a continual line with the Doctrinal Declaration.

• With a height of scandal throughout the world, Bishop Fellay said in a conference in Ireland, that he “said” to the Vatican that he “withdraws” that Doctrinal Declaration.

• A few months later, within the March 2013 CorUnum, the official bulletin of the SSPX to all of their priests throughout the world, Bishop Fellay promoted again for the SSPX member’s attention the full contents of that Doctrinal Declaration being alive and well; that is an official act.

• On June 27, 2013, the remaining 3-SSPX Bishops wrote a compromised Declaration on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the episcopal consecrations stating 12-points in continuance of course with the Doctrinal Declaration; the error is not in the council; that is an official act. www.therecusant.com/27june2013-declaration

• Bishop Fellay conducted a “kangaroo court” against Fr. Pinaud in censoring him with the Vatican II “1983 Code of Canon Law”; of which Code was in full acceptance within that Doctrinal Declaration; that is an official act (though illegal).

• Throughout 2012, 2013, and still in 2014, many SSPX priests are being expelled for calling into question the Doctrinal Declaration; that is an official act.

• Fr. Rioult wrote a book “The Impossible Reconciliation”, Documents of Operation Suicide of Bishop Fellay, with the contents demonstrating that there is a split between Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop Fellay; while showing that the Doctrinal Declaration is still in effect within the continuity of later events. Fr. Rioult’s book was refused publication and circulation by Bishop Fellay. Fr. Rioult is now in the Catholic Resistance.


FACTS:

• A Doctrinal Declaration is a testament of one’s belief and creed.
• Catholic Doctrine and Her Creed does not change, nor can be retracted.
• When one is Baptized, that doctrine and Creed remains unblemished.
• Catholic Doctrine is not private; it is public for the salvation of souls.
• When a Catholic states a Doctrinal Declaration, the one is stating a Truth that cannot be changed or disfigured.


In Bishop Fellay’s world he states:

• Bishop Fellay claims that he is of Traditional Catholic origin.
• Bishop Fellay’s intent was to send a Doctrinal Declaration: its purpose is to declare Doctrine.
• That Doctrinal Declaration took months to prepare; with full consent.
• Bishop Fellay had made that compromised Doctrinal Declaration in secret.
• Bishop Fellay officially signed it as the Superior General of the SSPX.
• Bishop Fellay officially sent it to Rome for their endorsement and signature of acceptance of an agreement.
• Bishop Fellay waited 2-months from Rome to see if it had been accepted or not.
• In face of scandal during the summer of 2012, Bishop Fellay said that he “verbally” said to the Vatican that he “withdraws” the Doctrinal Declaration he sent in.
• Bishop Fellay had never RENOUNCED the contents within his Doctrinal Declaration; therefore, the contents are in effect of his belief.


Fact:

• A Catholic Bishop, nor any baptized Catholic, can “withdraw” a Doctrinal statement; it is meaningless. Either one believed in the Doctrine stated, or one was trying to purposely deceive with false Doctrine.

• So if Bishop Fellay is sincere, then he believes what he wrote; therefore, his Doctrinal Declaration is a part of his belief.

• When one sends in official capacity a protocol of signed declaration, or agent of contract, through delegated authority, it is in consent and intention for an agreement. If the document is denied, altered, or withdrawn, it likewise needs the protocol with intent of agreement of both parties to delegate the response in a signed affidavit to endorse the change, alterations, or withdrawal. Bishop Fellay had done none of the above in return of protocol; he stated to us in a conference in Ireland that he “VERBALLY” said to the Vatican that he is “withdrawing” his Doctrinal Declaration; which of course has no weight; it is not legal; nor official; or binding. It only leaves the listener into a mis-direction designed for [Traditional] public consumption.

• Further, if some say that Bishop Fellay “retracted” his Doctrinal Declaration, as stated above, a Catholic cannot “retract” Doctrine. Either it was true when you wrote it, or it was not true. In addition, if he was to retract it, he still cannot do so, because everything in that Doctrinal Declaration was not in error. So if he “retracts” his Doctrinal Declaration, he is retracting the parts that are true also; which cannot be done.


So, what remains is that Bishop Fellay had NEVER himself stated that he renounced and repudiated, along with penance for his scandal, the contents of his Doctrinal Declaration in which he officially sent to Rome; he therefore wishes us to believe as a cover that he had “withdrawn” his Doctrinal Declaration only as a political maneuver.

Therefore, Bishop Fellay in his official capacity as the Superior General of the SSPX, lives what he believes; his Doctrinal Declaration is still official policy within the governance of the SSPX.

It is also endorsed without condemnation and encouraged by silence from the SSPX Superiors and the majority of the sspx priests.

The trail of events that support Bishop Fellay’s intent is manifest in his actions and handling of continued direction towards conciliar Rome with compromise and deceit.

To the unwise, the "Recognition of Tolerance" is the desire for human compassion. For the wise, the Faith is the desire to please God; and needs to be protected…at all costs.

Here is a conference (part 1 and 2) that breakdown the devices of Bishop Fellay and the workings of his practical deal with conciliar Rome.

I have made an important addition to the beginning of the OP to distinguish the difference and nature of Bishop Fellay's Doctrinal Declaration. I include it here in blue for content:


We have been hearing from a few that the SSPX Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 is not Official Policy; and if it was, it was “withdrawn” by Bishop Fellay.

Such a statement would attribute the SSPX Doctrinal Declaration to be a political circumstance in a given time.

In an interview on October 6, 2012 with Father Niklaus Pfluger, First Assistant General of the Society of St. Pius X, Fr. Pfluger stated once again to the unbelievers that the compromised SSPX Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 was in fact an Official, valid, and motivated piece of "common understanding" with conciliar Rome to declare and define as Doctrines of the Catholic Faith that they as SSPX superiors understood and promoted to grant acceptance and reconciliation.

Kirchliche Umschau: Just a few months ago, the Vatican seemed to be on the verge of granting canonical recognition to the Society. It seems now that all efforts were in vain. Bishop Müller, the new Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, suggested as much in several recent interviews.

Father Niklaus Pfluger: All efforts were not in vain, but an agreement in the near future is improbable [Ed. because of Pope Francis the way he is]. In both our estimation and that of the Curia, any agreement would be pointless unless we are on the same page about what the Faith really means. This common understanding was to be expressed in a “doctrinal declaration”, which we took ample time in drawing up, and in April 2012, Bishop Fellay, our Superior General, presented a preliminary, informal draft. But, to our great surprise, this text was rejected by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. So we are back to square one.

I will repeat, Fr. Pfluger said that the compromised SSPX Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 was a common understanding of the Catholic Faith with modernist Rome!

To wit, Fr. Pfluger said that "...we took ample time in drawing it up"! Yet the day before, April 14, 2012, Bishop Fellay, Frs. Pfluger and Nely [url=https://thecatacombs.freeforums.net/thread/685/sspxs-doctrinal-declaration-2012]wrote a responding scandalous letter to the three SSPX bishops, stating amongst other things, that there is no such present interest and agreement with Rome. Such is the secret nature of the Menzingen group of leaders...which continues on today.

[To see more, here is Fr. Pfeiffer's analysis of Fr. Pfluger's hypocritical interview with other bombs within it.]

Here are the words of Bishop Fellay still validating and authenticating his 2012 Doctrinal Declaration as official policy when asked near three years later in February 2015, while visiting the SSPX seminary in the United States along with the visiting modernist Bishop Athanasius Schneider, from a question asked by a faithful present at the ceremonies to speak to Bishop Fellay face to face.

Q. Your Excellency, do you stand by the contents of your Doctrinal Declaration of April 2012, or do you consider that it contains anything wrong, anything which might need correcting?

Bishop Fellay:
"There is nothing wrong with my Doctrinal Declaration; I stand by what it says." cor-mariae.com/index.php?threads/the-sspxs-new-doctrine.3511/


As shown above, in spite of Bishop Fellay saying in later 2012 within a conference both in the usa and in Ireland that he “said” to the Vatican that he “withdraws” that Doctrinal Declaration to please the listeners at the time, we know that five months later Bishop Fellay had published the same 2012 Doctrinal Declaration in its entirety within the March 2013 CorUnum, the official bulletin of the SSPX to all of their priests throughout the world, extending its promotion to the SSPX member’s attention being alive and well; that is an official public act to over 600 priests and bishops.

Doctrine cannot be "withdrawn"; it can only be proclaimed!
