<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u">RENEWAL OF THE CONSECRATION TO THE VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">NEXT DECEMBER 12</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">ACCORDING TO THE METHOD OF SAINT LOUIS DE MONFORT</span></div>
<br />
<br />
To those who have made with us the Consecration to the Virgin Mary according to the method of St. Louis Marie Griñon de Monfort, but also to those who have not yet made this consecration and who wish to do it for the first time with us this year.<br />
<br />
The preparation for this consecration for the first time, or for its renewal, begins this November 12 and culminates with the day of consecration on December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.<br />
<br />
It is necessary to read the book of St. Louis de Monfort before beginning the days of preparation. Here I put at your disposal the PDF of this book as well as the same book in audio which is quite comfortable to listen to on Youtube (its duration is 4 hours and 50 minutes). Here is the link:<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eumfKGRxYyo&amp;list=PL9BBojwfTthK8R5ibX7jRdeDP10yn6mz9&amp;index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eumfKGRx...z9&amp;index=1</a><br />
<br />
The video that explains how to carry out the preparation for this consecration is ideal to listen to it before starting this preparation, it can be for example today, but in any case before November 12. Here is the link:<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhhZFk5uWzs&amp;list=PL9BBojwfTthK8R5ibX7jRdeDP10yn6mz9&amp;index=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhhZFk5u...z9&amp;index=2</a><br />
<br />
Each day begins with a meditation, which can be listened to a second time during the day, or even a third time. From November 12 to December 12 each day has its own meditation, starting with the next meditation and following in this list successively:<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohaV18HygXo&amp;list=PL9BBojwfTthK8R5ibX7jRdeDP10yn6mz9&amp;index=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohaV18Hy...z9&amp;index=3</a><br />
<br />
Attached is also the text of the consecration to be done on the final day, in front of an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This PDF must be printed on paper, on a single sheet of paper on both sides and must be signed together with the date and year on the day of the consecration. This document can be signed again each year when this consecration is renewed. It is not obligatory to renew this consecration every year but it is highly recommended.<br />
<br />
It is also possible to make this consecration, if desired, at another time of the year or on the occasion of another feast of the Virgin Mary, but in that case the same procedure should also be followed.<br />
<br />
May the Holy Spirit enlighten you and may Our Lady of Guadalupe guide you through her Holy intercession,<br />
<br />

			<description><![CDATA[From an email received March 25, 2022 [computer translated from the Spanish]:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align">To recite with my faithful and friends on March 25, 2022, if possible at 3 p.m., if not at any time possible, beginning by reciting the Holy Rosary with arms outstretched. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align">Those who cannot say this Consecration on the 25th they can say as soon as possible. But everyone can renew it as many times as they wish.</div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">WARNING</span><br />
<br />
After the initiative of the Ukrainian bishops to ask Pope Francis for the consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, from the later acceptance by the Pope and after the publication by the Vatican of the <a href="https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/es/prayers/documents/20220325-atto-consacrazione-cuoredimaria.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">text</a> that should be used for this purpose, I think it is necessary that I make my faithful and friends the following:<br />
<br />
- As a matter of principle, we cannot be indifferent to an initiative that concerns the petition made through Sister Lucia in the Trinitarian apparition of June 13, 1929 and that concerns the future only from Russia but also from the world.<br />
<br />
- The text of the consecration that has been published by the Vatican does not seem to conform perfectly to the requests of heaven. First, because Russia is not put as the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">main object</span> of the consecration but at the end and only in a "<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">special way</span>" also equating it to Ukraine. This happens from a similar manner to several consecrations already made by previous Popes, who for not complying with all the conditions requested by heaven, did not obtain the conversion of Russia or the triumph of the Church, even if they obtained perhaps partial graces.<br />
<br />
- This consecration has too many "dyes" and "shades" of what is "politically correct" in a current globalist, naturalistic and relativistic context. Expressions such as: “community of nations” (does reference to the UN?), "we are betraying the dreams of peace of the peoples" (as if today the "dreams of peace” of the peoples, who positively exclude the Social Reign of Christ, deserve to be respected as something legitimate, and better why not say that by the very fact they are a utopia?), "we are custodians of our neighbor and of our common home", "garden of the earth", "we consecrate to you... the aspirations of the peoples” (to what aspirations and to what peoples does it refer?), “land of Heaven”… There is too much insistence<br />
on human ills and not so much on spiritual ills. Speaking of harmony and union between the peoples making too general a reference to God, not enough reference is made to the one Church of God which is the Catholic Church, the only true and only means of salvation.<br />
<br />
- God set as a condition to grant world peace, an <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">act of public reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary</span> for so many offenses that have been committed in the world against Him, peace it will not come except through this act of reparation. The text of the consecration of Pope Francis seems more concerned with obtaining peace than with making an explicit reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The sins of the people are the cause of divine punishment, it is necessary first to ask for forgiveness, and not only pray for the peoples without first asking for the grace of the conversion of these peoples. The Vatican II Magisterium forgot the value of reparation and atonement to Divine justice, especially in the liturgy, and behold the results. In the end, what are the requests of the message of Our Lady of Fatima? in the following: CONVERSION, PENANCE, PRAYER AND SACRIFICE.<br />
<br />
Dear faithful and friends, faced with a text that does not meet all the expectations of heaven expressed in the message of Fatima, I consider that it becomes necessary to use another to be able to make this consecration. If so I have allowed myself to prepare the text that follows of the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary:<br />

<br />
Oh Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, who had the privilege of being Immaculate in Your whole being from the first instant of your Immaculate Conception, in anticipation of Your divine Maternity. To you, whom the Eternal Father wanted to associate His Son, the Eternal Word, in the redemptive work and that for this wanted to give You a mother's heart, an Immaculate Heart, a Heart so broad as the sands of the seashore, to comfort Jesus in the Calvary and to intercede for all humanity.<br />
<br />
In a spirit of reparation, for so many offenses that humanity has committed against your Immaculate Heart, today we want to make a solemn act of expiation to console Him and through Him obtain the favor of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, your Divine Son.<br />
<br />
In this hour of darkness that humanity lives, we come to entrust to your Immaculate Heart in a very special way to that poor Russian nation to which that You, by a merciful gesture, have decided to help. To that nation which, despite being separated from the Church by error, You have always professed a unique devotion. To that nation that has borne so long the yoke implacable communism and has been used by it to spread its mistakes around the world.<br />
<br />
Seconding the wishes of God and Yours, today we want to consecrate Russia to Your Immaculate Heart so that He may obtain that grace that in a moment can change hearts, so that He uses this nation to spread throughout the world, not now the errors but the Faith of the true and only Church of Christ.<br />
<br />
Mother of Mercy, Mother of God and our Mother, grant our humble petitions and grant humanity true peace, the peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ. Amen.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align">Immaculate Heart of Mary!<br />
Pray for us now and at the hour of our death!</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align">To recite with my faithful and friends on March 25, 2022, if possible at 3 p.m., if not at any time possible, beginning by reciting the Holy Rosary with arms outstretched. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align">Those who cannot say this Consecration on the 25th they can say as soon as possible. But everyone can renew it as many times as they wish.</div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">WARNING</span><br />
<br />
After the initiative of the Ukrainian bishops to ask Pope Francis for the consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, from the later acceptance by the Pope and after the publication by the Vatican of the <a href="https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/es/prayers/documents/20220325-atto-consacrazione-cuoredimaria.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">text</a> that should be used for this purpose, I think it is necessary that I make my faithful and friends the following:<br />
<br />
- As a matter of principle, we cannot be indifferent to an initiative that concerns the petition made through Sister Lucia in the Trinitarian apparition of June 13, 1929 and that concerns the future only from Russia but also from the world.<br />
<br />
- The text of the consecration that has been published by the Vatican does not seem to conform perfectly to the requests of heaven. First, because Russia is not put as the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">main object</span> of the consecration but at the end and only in a "<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">special way</span>" also equating it to Ukraine. This happens from a similar manner to several consecrations already made by previous Popes, who for not complying with all the conditions requested by heaven, did not obtain the conversion of Russia or the triumph of the Church, even if they obtained perhaps partial graces.<br />
<br />
- This consecration has too many "dyes" and "shades" of what is "politically correct" in a current globalist, naturalistic and relativistic context. Expressions such as: “community of nations” (does reference to the UN?), "we are betraying the dreams of peace of the peoples" (as if today the "dreams of peace” of the peoples, who positively exclude the Social Reign of Christ, deserve to be respected as something legitimate, and better why not say that by the very fact they are a utopia?), "we are custodians of our neighbor and of our common home", "garden of the earth", "we consecrate to you... the aspirations of the peoples” (to what aspirations and to what peoples does it refer?), “land of Heaven”… There is too much insistence<br />
on human ills and not so much on spiritual ills. Speaking of harmony and union between the peoples making too general a reference to God, not enough reference is made to the one Church of God which is the Catholic Church, the only true and only means of salvation.<br />
<br />
- God set as a condition to grant world peace, an <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">act of public reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary</span> for so many offenses that have been committed in the world against Him, peace it will not come except through this act of reparation.

<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align">By Rev. Fr. HUGO RUIZ VALLEJO</div>
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align">February 4th 2017</div>
<br />
<br />
Catholic Priests - who do their best in order to preserve the authentic inheritance of the Roman Apostolic Catholic Church, that is, the bi-millennial Catholic Tradition - try to remain faithful to the teachings and directives that Mons. Lefebvre gave us with this precise objective. That is why every day we need to make new alerts and precisions, where required.<br />
<br />
We are living times of demonic disorientation, of deep crisis in the Catholic Church, as well as in her members. It is not enough just knowing about this. We should not forget that evil is also seductive and is capable of adopting new appearances to better achieve its goals.<br />
<br />
That is the reason why true Catholics need to be cautious. (“<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Watch and pray so that you do not fall into temptation</span>”. St. Mc., XIV, 38). Through the increasing disorientation, due to the crisis of authority in the Church, (“<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">I will hurt the shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered</span>”. St. Mc. XIV, 27) It happens that even in those who have the sincere intention to save the Holy Tradition in the Catholic Church, there are gaps towards the attitude to be taken on certain matters and particularly in regard to certain situations.<br />
<br />
The modern world of liberal nature has no qualms about mixing; furthermore, it loves mixtures. On the contrary, our Holy Religion asks us to flee away from evil, as well as the occasions of sin, which may be more than varied. As far as I am concerned, as I said before, I try to conform myself to the directives that our Catholic and Saintly Bishop Mgr. Marcel Lefebvre gave us, also the directives of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (F.S.S.P.X.), which he founded, as well as his Teachings and authentic Catholic attitude of the F.S.S.P.X. until the new-fraternity gradually started to separate himself from the spirit of its founder.<br />
<br />
Amongst some so-called “resistance”, they begin to give advice to the parishioners, which no longer corresponds to those of our Bishop Mgr. Lefebvre, our faithful Bishop. This is the main reason, why I want to point out various matters, which are of main importance, although nowadays, they seem to be less clear to some. At the end, I have added a commentary in relation to the recent announcement given by Mgr. Fellay about the imminence of an official agreement of the (new)-FSSPX with the conciliar Rome:<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">1st Point: About the morality of the new mass and attendance at it.</span><br />
<br />
As we know, Pope Paul VI ordered the elaboration of the new mass (<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">novus ordo</span>) with such an ecumenical criteria, thus worst of all, to six protestant pastors(1), who participated in creating it. For this and other reasons, Paul VI artificially produced a new mass, copied from the protestant mass. However, it was ambiguous enough so as to be neither formally heretical, nor formally Catholic. An ambiguous rite was created, but one which was no less unavoidably poisoned by a protestant spirit.<br />
<br />
The conclusion is that the new mass, due to its ambiguity, is not formally heretical; nevertheless because of his errors, it is indeed favourable to heresy. This is the reason why it can not<br />
be called either a Catholic Rite, nor good in itself, because those are intrinsic characteristics.<br />
<br />
From all this we can deduce that:<br />
<br />
►Assistance at the new mass is not permissible. It is not licit. (Those who are aware of what the new mass is, morally we can no longer attend it).<br />
<br />
►No one can ever be advised directly to go to the new mass. Although for serious reasons of prudence, one can simply leave someone in his ignorance or good will.<br />
<br />
►Holy Communion is the most perfect Way to participate in the Holy Mass. This is the reason why one must not receive communion from consecrated hosts in the new mass.<br />
<br />
This is in short the thought and the attitude that Mons. Lefebvre taught us to have towards the new mass.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">2nd Point: On attendance at the masses of the “indult”.</span><br />
<br />
Conciliar Rome has always tried to recuperate those Catholics who, defending their Faith, have set themselves apart (without intention of schism) from the ecclesiastical environments,<br />
which are infected by modernism and by the mistakes of Vatican II. Nevertheless, conciliar Rome in her eagerness to put them under their control has proposed to them new “solutions” and “pardons”, which would give an apparent opportunity to continue preserving their convictions, but within the official structure of the conciliar church. Those who have fallen into these nests have been cruelly disillusioned by the pressures and even because of the drastic measures, which are always focused on limiting Catholic Tradition and its practice more and more. It is indeed a terrible contradiction the fact of putting the Sacred Tradition under the guardianship and “protection” of those, who are exactly the same enemies of the Sacred Tradition…<br />
<br />
Mgr. Lefebvre, in his time, has made us understand that the Traditional Mass is not the whole Tradition, but there also exists the Teaching of Faith and its practice. It is not enough to have the Traditional Holy Mass, when next to it, the preaching and the practice of the Faith are not consistent. Particularly, when next to the Holy Mass, the whole Faith is not taught anymore, whether directly nor indirectly. It is about forcing the parishioners to accept Vatican II. (For instance, by omitting the clear and firm denunciation of the mistakes of Vatican II in order to weaken and exterminate our defense and fight for the true Catholic Faith and Sacred Tradition). In such a case, the souls of those parishioners are already in greatest danger. Therefore, it is better to renounce those masses because of the danger of infection, which is more or less camouflaged around them. The Holy Priest of Ars in his youth, preferred to stay without the Holy Mass, rather than to assist to those masses said by priests who were sworn to the liberal government of his time.<br />
<br />
The attitude, which was before requested of parishioners of the F.S.S.P.X. towards the “indult” masses was:<br />
<br />
►Never to assist to those masses of “indult”. (It is better to pray the Holy Rosary at home, and when it is possible, to go to the Holy Mass celebrated by priests who are not committed to the conciliar church.)<br />
<br />
►Do not attend any pastoral service of the mass of “indult” (whether conferences, nor pilgrims, etc.) It is indeed better to stay without Mass than be exposed to that danger of being gradually influenced by that committed mentality of the conciliar church.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">3rd point: On attendance nowadays at the Masses of the new F.S.S.P.X.</span><br />
<br />
The present day superiors of the new F.S.S.P.X. in their eagerness to come closer to conciliar Rome, have already placed the new-F.S.S.P.X. in a similar situation or even the same one, which we previously reproached to the agreement-groups as the Fraternity Saint Peter, haven’t they? And in this case, do not the old instructions that were given to us regarding the agreement-people already apply to the (new) F.S.S.P.X, as well?<br />
<br />
The spirit that nowadays rules within the new-F.S.S.P.X. is that of coming closer and having an agreement with the conciliar Rome, which is undeniable. Mgr. Fellay already affirms it openly and publicly. Besides, it is not always necessary for an agreement to be written and official in order to be a true one; because tacit agreements may also exist based on “friendly chats” and significant “facts”.<br />
<br />
Pope Francis had recently given the jurisdiction to confess to the priests of the new F.S.S.P.X., isn’t this a real fact? In fact, in the Catholic Church one can not have jurisdiction, if one is not first incardinated (even if it were directly by the Pope). It is true, as Mgr. Fellay shamelessly said in an agreed interview on the 29th of January 2017, “...only the seal is missing”.<br />
<br />
All the pressures and persecutions which have been being made for a long time, not only on the priests but also the parishioners, in order to fold them into this surrendered policy. Are they not arguments to confirm that the new-F.S.S.P.X. is in a frankly agreement attitude? And each time the increasingly notorious false shyness in not being willing to denounce openly the mistakes of Vatican II and specifically the noisy scandals from Pope Francis, are they not a worrying sign?<br />
<br />
It is obvious that all this dangerous environment, which we denounced in the “Ecclesia Dei” societies. (Before, our same superiors we were constantly putting us on guard against this danger.) Nowadays this dangerous environment is already present inside the new-F.S.S.P.X. It is a fact for all these reasons that the present day environments of the new-F.S.S.P.X. have become dangerous. This constant insistence on blind obedience, even when there are more than legitimate reasons to be worried about. So, Faith has passed to a second level in respect to blind obedience; when it should be the opposite.<br />
<br />
According to my personal experience, all the priests as well as the parishioners who have not wanted to disconnect themselves from the new-F.S.S.P.X., as a result, they have been folding hands one after another. Not only have they abandoned the fight against modernism, but due to those intolerable moral pressures they are suffering from, they have been changing and watering-down their thoughts.<br />
<br />
►For all these reasons, I advise the Priests as well as the parishioners, DEFINITELY, to walk away from all the environments of the new-F.S.S.P.X. This is in accordance with the spirit of prudential attitude that Mgr. Marcel Lefebvre had previously advised us in relation to the “Ecclesia Dei” societies, which nowadays all already applies perfectly to the new-F.S.S.P.X.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">4th point: On attendance to the “Vacancy of Peter’s Seat” Masses (‘Sedevacantist’ Masses).</span><br />
<br />
As for those who affirm today the “vacancy of the Apostolic Seat,” I do not doubt that many of them have a sincere attachment and great veneration for the person of Mgr. Lefebvre. However, they are not always willing to accept all the recommendations and directives that he gave us.<br />
<br />
In fact, Mgr. Lefebvre himself spoke very clearly about the possibility of this question. Nevertheless, what he always and emphatically refused to do, was definitively to define this issue. You can not make a doctrine, out of a historical fact, a strictly doctrinal point. The Truths of the Faith are necessary for our Salvation, whereas a historical fact may be controversial. The danger is that if one day God wants to raise a true Catholic Pope, then one no longer wants to recognize the legitimacy of the Apostolic Succession.<br />
<br />
Mons. Lefebvre wrote an article in the traditional magazine “<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Roma</span>” (number 67, from the year 1981):<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“Our Fraternity absolutely rejects sharing these reasonings. We want to remain attached to Rome, to Saint Peter’s Successor; even though we reject his liberalism because of the Fidelity to their Predecessors. We are not afraid today to say it respectfully but firmly, as Saint Paul did in front of Saint Peter.<br />
<br />
That is why, far from rejecting the prayers for the Pope, the more we increase our prayers and we plead the Holy Spirit to illuminate him and strengthen him in the support and defense of the Faith.<br />
<br />
In consequence, it cannot be tolerated that the members, priests, brothers, sisters, oblates of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (F.S.S.P.X.) reject praying for the Pope and assert that all the masses of the Novus Ordo are invalid”.</blockquote>
<br />
On another occasion, commenting on this article, he added:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite> “I wanted to write this article so that everybody knows, including the parishioners, what is the position of the Fraternity. So the parishioners know that if one of our priests preaches that there is no Pope, he does not preach in accordance to what the Fraternity thinks”.</blockquote>
<br />
Mons. Lefebvre said in the “<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Fideliter</span>” magazine (number 79, January-February 1991):<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“I have always put on guard the parishioners about the vacancy of the Seat of Peter, for instance. Then they say, if the Mass is good, then we can go to Mass. Of course there is the Mass. This is a good thing; although one has to consider that there is also the preaching, there is also the environment, the conversations, before and after, the contacts. All of which makes one gently and gradually changes ones thought. All this is then a real danger and that is why in a general way, I estimate that all this forms one whole. One does not only go to Mass, in fact, one attends the whole environment”.</blockquote>
<br />
A well known blog of the [Fake] Resistance (“<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Non Possumus</span>”), on the 12th of January 2017, published an article which says: <br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“It is licit to the parishioners to go to all traditional Masses (also celebrated “non una cum”) because it is the Minister who answers to God about his decisions, meanwhile the parishioners must only answer if they have observed the Third Commandment: “Sanctify the Feasts”.”</blockquote>
<br />
(The expression “<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Non una cum</span>” means that in that Mass the legitimacy of the actual Pope is not recognized.) According to this principle it would then be justified to attend not only the Sedevacantist Masses, but also those of the Indult and with no doubt those of the new-F.S.S.P.X. !<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">5th point: The “suicide operation” or the “agreements” of the new F.S.S.P.X.</span><br />
<br />
Plenty of times Mgr. Fellay vehemently declared even not long ago, that he did not want to make any agreements. And now this past 29th January 2017 in a TV interview, Mgr. Fellay commented in such an “unworried” way, that: “only the seal is missing” in order to have consummated the agreement with Rome. Mgr. Fellay then recognizes the existence of all this work of preparation and flirtation with Rome (for which he is responsible), which was in fact a practical agreement already, to which only this one “small” formality was missing: “the seal.”<br />
<br />
Mgr. Fellay, with such an ambiguous language full of unverified and unverifiable suggestions has been weaving his web around the unsuspecting. Has been preparing for years the spirits of the priests and parishioners towards this agreement. Mgr. Fellay has always suggested in his “conferences” and preaches about “beautiful horizons” and the “serious probability” that Rome is “already” converting. In fact, Mgr. Fellay is dragging the flock that had been entrusted to him by Mgr. Marcel Lefebvre. (Priests, parishioners, seminaries, priories, schools, etc.) into the conciliar pot! Yes, all of Monsignor Lefebvre's great work of rescue of Tradition is now falling down into the conciliar (Vatican II) pot!<br />
<br />
All of Pope Francis’ indecent statements and gestures are not a statement of his intention, are they? Mgr. Fellay putting himself under his jurisdiction, does not imply obeying him, does it? “Francis,” as he nowadays likes to be called, does he not try to govern the church according to the intention which he himself has previously expressed, does he? And if that is his intention, those who now direct the F.S.S.P.X are not falling down into a colossal trap, that they themselves have sought, are they? The far-fetched, falsely educated and above all ambiguous language of Mons. Fellay matters little, in fact he is trying to justify not only a great imposture, but also an error of historical dimensions.<br />
<br />
His Excellence Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre stated in his sermon of Episcopal Consecrations in 1988, that if he had continued the agreements with Rome it would have been a “suicide operation.” Even worse, the facts ended up convincing the faithful Archbishop Lefebvre that these agreements were a great chimera, due to the lack of honesty of the conciliars (from Vatican II). It is for this reason that Archbishop Lefebvre himself, after the failed approach with Rome, made clear the new profile of what would be in the future the position of the Fraternity (F.S.S.P.X.) in regard to Rome occupied by modernists:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“If I went to discuss to Rome, it was because I wanted to prove, if we could make an agreement with the ecclesiastical authorities, while at the same time, looking forward to sheltering ourselves from its liberalism and protecting Holy Tradition. But the strength of the facts has forced me to confirm that no agreement could be made at all, which could give us both, all the guarantee, and at the same time the conviction that Rome would sincerely attend to the preservation of the Holy Tradition.” Monsignor Lefebvre “<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Fideliter</span>” magazine No. 68, 1988. </blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“Our true parishioners, those who have truly understood the problem and who have helped us to continue the straight and steady line of Holy Tradition and the Faith, feared beforehand the meetings for possible agreement that I had in Rome. They told me it was indeed dangerous and that I wasted my time on it. Of course, I had waited until the last moment to see if Rome could show a little honesty. I can not be blamed for not having done everything I could. But now, however, to those who come to tell me: ‘You come to an understanding with Rome,’ I think I can tell them with certainty that I went farther than what I should have gone.” ‘Fideliter’ magazine No. 79, 1991.</blockquote>
<br />
And referring to the Romans, Mgr. Lefebvre told them on another occasion:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“If you do not accept the Doctrine of your Predecessors, it is useless to talk. As long as you do not accept to reform the Council taking into account the Doctrine of the Popes, who have preceded you, there is no possible dialogue, it is useless.” (‘<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Fideliter</span>’ No. 66 Nov. 1988).</blockquote>
<br />
And on the same occasion, talking about the “traditionalists” who had already made agreements with Rome, Mgr. Lefebvre said:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“When they affirm that they have not given up anything, it is false. They have given up the possibility of contradicting Rome. They cannot say anything now. They must remain silent because of the favors they have received, and it is now impossible for them to denounce the errors of the conciliar church. Very slowly they accept, even if it were only the profession of faith that Cardinal Ratzinger has imposed on them ... From the point of view of ideas. They turn very gently and end up admitting the false ideas of the Council Vatican II. This is because Rome has granted them some favors for Tradition. This is a very dangerous situation.”</blockquote>
<br />
In his Book “<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Spiritual Journey</span>,” which he considered as being his spiritual Testament addressed to his own priests, Mgr. Lefebvre says:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“It is then a strict duty for every Priest who wishes to remain a Catholic one, to separate himself from this conciliar church, as long as it has not returned to the Holy Tradition of the Magisterium of the Church and of the Catholic Faith.”</blockquote>
<br />
There is a supine “forgotten” in the new F.S.S.P.X. of the last teachings of Monsignor Lefebvre on the issue of the agreements ...<br />
<br />
The “apostolate of penetration,” which means the tactic of trying to convert the wrong environments “from the inside,” is an activist mistake that has always led to many disasters (It is a bad tactic to enter the communist party to convert the communist party, as well as to enter the cave of Alibabá and the 40 thieves to convert Alibabá and the 40 thieves, etc.).<br />
<br />
What the conciliar catholics really need is, above all, the example that Holy Tradition gives them. All mixtures violate the nature of things. The process of silencing (any criticism of Rome, the Council and its errors, the attitudes and scandalous words of Pope Francis, etc.) began long ago inside the F.S.S.P.X. Since it began to please conciliar Rome, it was an inevitable consequence. Can the destroyers of the Catholic Church be pleased in any other better way? <br />
<br />
In questions of Faith for those who have a public function as pastors, a public profession is necessary. It is not enough to over-understand (in fact, not all understand them ...) in a public society such as the Catholic Church, what is not publicly said, generally it does not have practical validity. After silence follows pusillanimity, fear, commitment. But commitment in things of Faith is a sin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Conclusion</span>:<br />
<br />
This year, 2017, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Apparitions of Our Lady in Fatima. The crisis of the Faith, which was spoken of in the Third Secret given by Our Lady, has not been taken into account by the men of Church. <br />
<br />
Furthermore, considering this corruption of Faith each time deeper, we can only entrust ourselves to and implore the faithful protection of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to preserve us and to remain always faithful in the Faith of the True Holy Church of Christ our Lord and God.<br />

Conciliar Rome has always tried to recuperate those Catholics who, defending their Faith, have set themselves apart (without intention of schism) from the ecclesiastical environments,<br />
which are infected by modernism and by the mistakes of Vatican II. Nevertheless, conciliar Rome in her eagerness to put them under their control has proposed to them new “solutions” and “pardons”, which would give an apparent opportunity to continue preserving their convictions, but within the official structure of the conciliar church. Those who have fallen into these nests have been cruelly disillusioned by the pressures and even because of the drastic measures, which are always focused on limiting Catholic Tradition and its practice more and more. It is indeed a terrible contradiction the fact of putting the Sacred Tradition under the guardianship and “protection” of those, who are exactly the same enemies of the Sacred Tradition…<br />
<br />
Mgr. Lefebvre, in his time, has made us understand that the Traditional Mass is not the whole Tradition, but there also exists the Teaching of Faith and its practice. It is not enough to have the Traditional Holy Mass, when next to it, the preaching and the practice of the Faith are not consistent. Particularly, when next to the Holy Mass, the whole Faith is not taught anymore, whether directly nor indirectly. It is about forcing the parishioners to accept Vatican II. (For instance, by omitting the clear and firm denunciation of the mistakes of Vatican II in order to weaken and exterminate our defense and fight for the true Catholic Faith and Sacred Tradition). In such a case, the souls of those parishioners are already in greatest danger. Therefore, it is better to renounce those masses because of the danger of infection, which is more or less camouflaged around them. The Holy Priest of Ars in his youth, preferred to stay without the Holy Mass, rather than to assist to those masses said by priests who were sworn to the liberal government of his time.<br />
<br />
The attitude, which was before requested of parishioners of the F.S.S.P.X. towards the “indult” masses was:<br />
<br />
►Never to assist to those masses of “indult”. (It is better to pray the Holy Rosary at home, and when it is possible, to go to the Holy Mass celebrated by priests who are not committed to the conciliar church.)<br />
<br />
►Do not attend any pastoral service of the mass of “indult” (whether conferences, nor pilgrims, etc.) It is indeed better to stay without Mass than be exposed to that danger of being gradually influenced by that committed mentality of the conciliar church.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">3rd point: On attendance nowadays at the Masses of the new F.S.S.P.X.</span><br />
<br />
The present day superiors of the new F.S.S.P.X. in their eagerness to come closer to conciliar Rome, have already placed the new-F.S.S.P.X. in a similar situation or even the same one, which we previously reproached to the agreement-groups as the Fraternity Saint Peter, haven’t they? And in this case, do not the old instructions that were given to us regarding the agreement-people already apply to the (new) F.S.S.P.X, as well?<br />
<br />
The spirit that nowadays rules within the new-F.S.S.P.X. is that of coming closer and having an agreement with the conciliar Rome, which is undeniable. Mgr. Fellay already affirms it openly and publicly. Besides, it is not always necessary for an agreement to be written and official in order to be a true one; because tacit agreements may also exist based on “friendly chats” and significant “facts”.<br />
<br />
Pope Francis had recently given the jurisdiction to confess to the priests of the new F.S.S.P.X., isn’t this a real fact? In fact, in the Catholic Church one can not have jurisdiction, if one is not first incardinated (even if it were directly by the Pope). It is true, as Mgr. Fellay shamelessly said in an agreed interview on the 29th of January 2017, “...only the seal is missing”.<br />
<br />
All the pressures and persecutions which have been being made for a long time, not only on the priests but also the parishioners, in order to fold them into this surrendered policy. Are they not arguments to confirm that the new-F.S.S.P.X. is in a frankly agreement attitude? And each time the increasingly notorious false shyness in not being willing to denounce openly the mistakes of Vatican II and specifically the noisy scandals from Pope Francis, are they not a worrying sign?<br />
<br />
It is obvious that all this dangerous environment, which we denounced in the “Ecclesia Dei” societies. (Before, our same superiors we were constantly putting us on guard against this danger.) Nowadays this dangerous environment is already present inside the new-F.S.S.P.X. It is a fact for all these reasons that the present day environments of the new-F.S.S.P.X. have become dangerous. This constant insistence on blind obedience, even when there are more than legitimate reasons to be worried about. So, Faith has passed to a second level in respect to blind obedience; when it should be the opposite.<br />
<br />
According to my personal experience, all the priests as well as the parishioners who have not wanted to disconnect themselves from the new-F.S.S.P.X., as a result, they have been folding hands one after another. Not only have they abandoned the fight against modernism, but due to those intolerable moral pressures they are suffering from, they have been changing and watering-down their thoughts.<br />
<br />
►For all these reasons, I advise the Priests as well as the parishioners, DEFINITELY, to walk away from all the environments of the new-F.S.S.P.X. This is in accordance with the spirit of prudential attitude that Mgr. Marcel Lefebvre had previously advised us in relation to the “Ecclesia Dei” societies, which nowadays all already applies perfectly to the new-F.S.S.P.X.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">4th point: On attendance to the “Vacancy of Peter’s Seat” Masses (‘Sedevacantist’ Masses).</span><br />
<br />
As for those who affirm today the “vacancy of the Apostolic Seat,” I do not doubt that many of them have a sincere attachment and great veneration for the person of Mgr. Lefebvre. However, they are not always willing to accept all the recommendations and directives that he gave us.<br />
<br />
In fact, Mgr. Lefebvre himself spoke very clearly about the possibility of this question. Nevertheless, what he always and emphatically refused to do, was definitively to define this issue. You can not make a doctrine, out of a historical fact, a strictly doctrinal point. The Truths of the Faith are necessary for our Salvation, whereas a historical fact may be controversial. The danger is that if one day God wants to raise a true Catholic Pope, then one no longer wants to recognize the legitimacy of the Apostolic Succession.<br />
<br />
Mons. Lefebvre wrote an article in the traditional magazine “<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Roma</span>” (number 67, from the year 1981):<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“Our Fraternity absolutely rejects sharing these reasonings. We want to remain attached to Rome, to Saint Peter’s Successor; even though we reject his liberalism because of the Fidelity to their Predecessors. We are not afraid today to say it respectfully but firmly, as Saint Paul did in front of Saint Peter.<br />
<br />
That is why, far from rejecting the prayers for the Pope, the more we increase our prayers and we plead the Holy Spirit to illuminate him and strengthen him in the support and defense of the Faith.<br />
<br />
In consequence, it cannot be tolerated that the members, priests, brothers, sisters, oblates of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (F.S.S.P.X.) reject praying for the Pope and assert that all the masses of the Novus Ordo are invalid”.</blockquote>
<br />
On another occasion, commenting on this article, he added:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite> “I wanted to write this article so that everybody knows, including the parishioners, what is the position of the Fraternity. So the parishioners know that if one of our priests preaches that there is no Pope, he does not preach in accordance to what the Fraternity thinks”.</blockquote>
<br />
Mons. Lefebvre said in the “<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Fideliter</span>” magazine (number 79, January-February 1991):<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“I have always put on guard the parishioners about the vacancy of the Seat of Peter, for instance. Then they say, if the Mass is good, then we can go to Mass. Of course there is the Mass. This is a good thing; although one has to consider that there is also the preaching, there is also the environment, the conversations, before and after, the contacts. All of which makes one gently and gradually changes ones thought. All this is then a real danger and that is why in a general way, I estimate that all this forms one whole. One does not only go to Mass, in fact, one attends the whole environment”.</blockquote>
<br />
A well known blog of the [Fake] Resistance (“<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Non Possumus</span>”), on the 12th of January 2017, published an article which says: <br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“It is licit to the parishioners to go to all traditional Masses (also celebrated “non una cum”) because it is the Minister who answers to God about his decisions, meanwhile the parishioners must only answer if they have observed the Third Commandment: “Sanctify the Feasts”.”</blockquote>
<br />
(The expression “<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Non una cum</span>” means that in that Mass the legitimacy of the actual Pope is not recognized.) According to this principle it would then be justified to attend not only the Sedevacantist Masses, but also those of the Indult and with no doubt those of the new-F.S.S.P.X. !<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">5th point: The “suicide operation” or the “agreements” of the new F.S.S.P.X.</span><br />
<br />
Plenty of times Mgr. Fellay vehemently declared even not long ago, that he did not want to make any agreements. And now this past 29th January 2017 in a TV interview, Mgr. Fellay commented in such an “unworried” way, that: “only the seal is missing” in order to have consummated the agreement with Rome. Mgr. Fellay then recognizes the existence of all this work of preparation and flirtation with Rome (for which he is responsible), which was in fact a practical agreement already, to which only this one “small” formality was missing: “the seal.”<br />
<br />
Mgr. Fellay, with such an ambiguous language full of unverified and unverifiable suggestions has been weaving his web around the unsuspecting. Has been preparing for years the spirits of the priests and parishioners towards this agreement. Mgr. Fellay has always suggested in his “conferences” and preaches about “beautiful horizons” and the “serious probability” that Rome is “already” converting. In fact, Mgr. Fellay is dragging the flock that had been entrusted to him by Mgr. Marcel Lefebvre. (Priests, parishioners, seminaries, priories, schools, etc.) into the conciliar pot! Yes, all of Monsignor Lefebvre's great work of rescue of Tradition is now falling down into the conciliar (Vatican II) pot!<br />
<br />
All of Pope Francis’ indecent statements and gestures are not a statement of his intention, are they? Mgr. Fellay putting himself under his jurisdiction, does not imply obeying him, does it? “Francis,” as he nowadays likes to be called, does he not try to govern the church according to the intention which he himself has previously expressed, does he? And if that is his intention, those who now direct the F.S.S.P.X are not falling down into a colossal trap, that they themselves have sought, are they? The far-fetched, falsely educated and above all ambiguous language of Mons. Fellay matters little, in fact he is trying to justify not only a great imposture, but also an error of historical dimensions.<br />
<br />
His Excellence Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre stated in his sermon of Episcopal Consecrations in 1988, that if he had continued the agreements with Rome it would have been a “suicide operation.” Even worse, the facts ended up convincing the faithful Archbishop Lefebvre that these agreements were a great chimera, due to the lack of honesty of the conciliars (from Vatican II). It is for this reason that Archbishop Lefebvre himself, after the failed approach with Rome, made clear the new profile of what would be in the future the position of the Fraternity (F.S.S.P.X.) in regard to Rome occupied by modernists:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“If I went to discuss to Rome, it was because I wanted to prove, if we could make an agreement with the ecclesiastical authorities, while at the same time, looking forward to sheltering ourselves from its liberalism and protecting Holy Tradition. But the strength of the facts has forced me to confirm that no agreement could be made at all, which could give us both, all the guarantee, and at the same time the conviction that Rome would sincerely attend to the preservation of the Holy Tradition.” Monsignor Lefebvre “<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Fideliter</span>” magazine No. 68, 1988. </blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“Our true parishioners, those who have truly understood the problem and who have helped us to continue the straight and steady line of Holy Tradition and the Faith, feared beforehand the meetings for possible agreement that I had in Rome. They told me it was indeed dangerous and that I wasted my time on it. Of course, I had waited until the last moment to see if Rome could show a little honesty. I can not be blamed for not having done everything I could. But now, however, to those who come to tell me: ‘You come to an understanding with Rome,’ I think I can tell them with certainty that I went farther than what I should have gone.” ‘Fideliter’ magazine No. 79, 1991.</blockquote>
<br />
And referring to the Romans, Mgr. Lefebvre told them on another occasion:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“If you do not accept the Doctrine of your Predecessors, it is useless to talk. As long as you do not accept to reform the Council taking into account the Doctrine of the Popes, who have preceded you, there is no possible dialogue, it is useless.” (‘<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Fideliter</span>’ No. 66 Nov. 1988).</blockquote>
<br />
And on the same occasion, talking about the “traditionalists” who had already made agreements with Rome, Mgr. Lefebvre said:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“When they affirm that they have not given up anything, it is false. They have given up the possibility of contradicting Rome. They cannot say anything now. They must remain silent because of the favors they have received, and it is now impossible for them to denounce the errors of the conciliar church. Very slowly they accept, even if it were only the profession of faith that Cardinal Ratzinger has imposed on them ... From the point of view of ideas. They turn very gently and end up admitting the false ideas of the Council Vatican II. This is because Rome has granted them some favors for Tradition. This is a very dangerous situation.”</blockquote>
<br />
In his Book “<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Spiritual Journey</span>,” which he considered as being his spiritual Testament addressed to his own priests, Mgr. Lefebvre says:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“It is then a strict duty for every Priest who wishes to remain a Catholic one, to separate himself from this conciliar church, as long as it has not returned to the Holy Tradition of the Magisterium of the Church and of the Catholic Faith.”</blockquote>
<br />
There is a supine “forgotten” in the new F.S.S.P.X. of the last teachings of Monsignor Lefebvre on the issue of the agreements ...<br />
<br />
The “apostolate of penetration,” which means the tactic of trying to convert the wrong environments “from the inside,” is an activist mistake that has always led to many disasters (It is a bad tactic to enter the communist party to convert the communist party, as well as to enter the cave of Alibabá and the 40 thieves to convert Alibabá and the 40 thieves, etc.).<br />
<br />
What the conciliar catholics really need is, above all, the example that Holy Tradition gives them. All mixtures violate the nature of things. The process of silencing (any criticism of Rome, the Council and its errors, the attitudes and scandalous words of Pope Francis, etc.) began long ago inside the F.S.S.P.X. Since it began to please conciliar Rome, it was an inevitable consequence. Can the destroyers of the Catholic Church be pleased in any other better way? <br />
<br />
In questions of Faith for those who have a public function as pastors, a public profession is necessary. It is not enough to over-understand (in fact, not all understand them ...) in a public society such as the Catholic Church, what is not publicly said, generally it does not have practical validity. After silence follows pusillanimity, fear, commitment. But commitment in things of Faith is a sin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Conclusion</span>:<br />
<br />
This year, 2017, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Apparitions of Our Lady in Fatima. The crisis of the Faith, which was spoken of in the Third Secret given by Our Lady, has not been taken into account by the men of Church. <br />
<br />
Furthermore, considering this corruption of Faith each time deeper, we can only entrust ourselves to and implore the faithful protection of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to preserve us and to remain always faithful in the Faith of the True Holy Church of Christ our Lord and God.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align">March 22, 2013</div>
<br />
Dear Friends in Christ,<br />
<br />
Some of you are already aware of my departure and my taking up residence here in St. Joseph's House, here in Mexico. In order to avoid any misunderstanding or perplexity on your part, it is not only important but also necessary for me to give you an explanation of the serious reasons which have created this necessity for me.<br />
<br />
Nobody from among you should be ignorant of the very serious motives which have guided what is known as the Traditional movement, present at the beginning in various parts of the world, but now principally in the Society of St. Pius X, the work of an exemplary Bishop, Abp. Marcel Lefebvre, who tried to save the values of the Catholic Church from the Modernist invasion which hit the Church of Christ, above all by that which we call Vatican II, and by all the reforms of the Church which this council caused.<br />
<br />
This attack provoked a totally legitimate defensive movement of faithful Catholics, a movement which is in itself very natural and necessary. The struggle, the war against the doctrinal errors of the modern world which was waged by the Popes of the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries, by Pope St. Pius X in particular, is the same one which we wished to take on and try to wage in our turn. <br />
<br />
Nonetheless, those Traditionalists in particular who have known the beginning of this fight are the ones to state that our superiors have lowered the tone of our demands and of our fight for the defence of the Faith. To begin with, it was argued that this was a means of converting Rome: not only the fact of no longer denouncing as strongly the deviations of Churchmen, but also a way of coming closer and closer to the official Church. The question is: is all this a proportionate means of converting Rome? Or is it a mere illusion? Can one convert someone to the truth by hiding that same truth? Can one convert someone by leaning in the direction of their errors and dialectic?<br />
<br />
With increasing concern, we see on the part of many SSPX priests and faithful, as well as allied religious orders, an omission which takes on ever greater and more misleading proportions. A silence which is more and more noticeable. <br />
<br />
The fact is that the Romans have renounced not one of their very serious errors of Vatican II, nor the New Mass (<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Novus Ordo Missae</span>), nor any one of the reforms which are a consequence of this Council and which affect the life of the whole Church. Rome has merely made some concessions of a political nature to bring the Society closer, little  concessions which are not sufficient to serve as proof that there has been a real change of direction in Rome, in other words in the direction of Tradition. Quite the contrary, we find in all these negotiations and dialoguing a diplomacy which is full of duplicity. We cannot base our important decisions solely on rumours or facts which comprise no proof at all of the churchmen's conversion.<br />
<br />
The fact is that, despite the famous failure of the doctrinal discussions, supposedly conducted in order to convert Rome, (and which remain unpublished to this day), we are still trying to go full steam ahead towards an agreement with Rome at any price, in extremely dangerous conditions. And to crown it all, there are already today those who think that the Society ought to make an agreement to submit Rome, whether or not Rome has converted! (“I would even say that, in front of this sublime reality, any talk of whether or not we have an agreement with Rome is a trifling matter... defending the Faith, keeping the Faith, dying in the Faith, that's what's important!” - Bp. Fellay, Paris, 30th January, 2013).<br />
<br />
But perhaps we want to be dependent on those who do not have the same Catholic principles as us? Is it possible to have a good pastoral ministry without having good doctrine? Perhaps those who do not have sound doctrine could be in charge of the Traditionalist pastoral ministry? How can we understand one another regarding practice of the Faith if we do not have the same principles regarding Faith and Morals? <br />
<br />
Perhaps Francis, the new Pope, didn't begin his Pontificate by recommending a book by the heretic Kasper in his <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Urbi et Orbi</span> in St. Peter's Square! And wouldn’t it be a very pious idea to live in a cave with Ali Baba and the 40 thieves in order to convert Ali Baba and the 40 thieves...? A very pious idea, full of realism...! <br />
<br />
The conclusions of the Society's last General Chapter have only dramatically confirmed our fears, because in its official conclusion the leaders of the Society declared what will be the six conditions for us to accept an agreement with Rome or a ‘regularisation’ inside the Roman system. According to these, three are necessary, and the three others “desirable”, which means that even if the Pope doesn't let us have them, we will still accept the “agreement”. I might mention at this point that one of the “desirable” conditions isn't really a condition. Much could be said about these conditions, but the worst is to be found in the first of these three “desirable” conditions: the decisions of our ecclesiastical tribunals could be overturned by the tribunals of the conciliar Church; and with our agreement too! In other words, they with their modernist principles would make decisions affecting the pastoral ministry of Traditional priests! What's more, in the second “desirable” condition we accept the possibility of having to depend on local bishops, even though we’re well aware of the extent to which they would like to have an opportunity to make us submit to the ideas and pastoral practice of Vatican II. A real programmed suicide of Tradition! In addition, in the third of these conditions we also<br />
accept the possibility of the man in charge of the commission which represents us to the Pope not being himself a Traditionalist. But how could someone who does not think like<br />
us, and who is not one of us, represent us? Fr. Mario Trejo, the District Superior of Mexico, recently said in the District newsletter (‘<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Dios Nunca Muere</span>’, no.41, p.7) that in the declaration of the last General Chapter of the Society, “Every phrase, every word was weighed and examined in order to give testimony to the Faith of all time.” Well, with these conditions, how can the Faith of all time be defended by people who no longer profess it?<br />
<br />
In any case, it has now become clear that there is now a new attitude towards Rome and its errors on the part of those who now run the SSPX, a new position full of omissions and<br />
ready to make very serious compromises which, even if it hasn’t yet been brought about, brings to light a more than worrying state of mind. There is a gradual omission of any reference to our combat, or the objectives which Abp. Lefebvre gave the Society, An external policy corresponds to an internal ‘policy’: which is to say that within the Society, each time in an increasingly obvious way, the existence of a policy of repression against anyone who does not agree with the new orientation of the Society is confirmed. Pressuring, harassing, discrediting and punishing in various different ways anyone who shows that they disagree. Many more disturbing statements and actions could be added. Like, for example, what Fr. Raphael Arizaga heard from the mouth of Bishop Fellay in a conference to seminarians at Winona, on 21st December last year: “Because I wanted to preserve the internal unity of the Society, I withdrew the document in which I said 'I do not reject all of Vatican II' - which is what I really said.”<br />
<br />
Abp. Lefebvre counselled against going to Indult Masses as well as those groups with an atmosphere such as the Fraternity of St. Peter, because such atmospheres are corrupted at<br />
their root, in the sense that what is taught and promoted in the short- or long-term tends towards assimilation with the conciliar Church. But if the Society of St. Pius X changes its<br />
spirit and its objectives, could it not also end up being in a similar state, equal or worse, even if the agreement with Rome has, for the moment, not been made concrete?<br />
<br />
I myself have commented on how many priests have changed their attitude towards the combat of Tradition against the enemy, and unfortunately this has been more frequently<br />
the case with new priests. I am myself a victim of this new line from our superiors, a line full of omissions about struggle and our combat. Already, they're not seeing many enemies in Rome; optimism has little by little replaced the distrust which one ought naturally to feel towards the destroyers of the Church. My District Superior, Fr. Mario Trejo, has forbidden me to speak about these subjects: not just in sermons, but also in private! Whether it be with the faithful or with other priests, and that with the threat of transfer and severe punishments.<br />
And since I cannot accomplish my mission as a priest from within the Society, a mission which consists of showing forth the truth and denouncing danger which threatens souls, I<br />
have decided to continue my ministry outside the structure of the Society, although I continue to be a member of it, and this is for the good of the faithful who are in Mexico City and who wish to have recourse to my priestly ministry. I hope that you, as well as my fellow priests, will understand the reasons for this serious decision.<br />
<br />
May God, through Our Lady of Guadalupe, bless and enlighten you,<br />
Fr. Hugo Ruiz Vallejo, SSPX<br />

<br />
Dear Friends in Christ,<br />
<br />
Some of you are already aware of my departure and my taking up residence here in St. Joseph's House, here in Mexico. In order to avoid any misunderstanding or perplexity on your part, it is not only important but also necessary for me to give you an explanation of the serious reasons which have created this necessity for me.<br />

To begin with, it was argued that this was a means of converting Rome: not only the fact of no longer denouncing as strongly the deviations of Churchmen, but also a way of coming closer and closer to the official Church. The question is: is all this a proportionate means of converting Rome? Or is it a mere illusion? Can one convert someone to the truth by hiding that same truth? Can one convert someone by leaning in the direction of their errors and dialectic?<br />
<br />
With increasing concern, we see on the part of many SSPX priests and faithful, as well as allied religious orders, an omission which takes on ever greater and more misleading proportions. A silence which is more and more noticeable. <br />
<br />
The fact is that the Romans have renounced not one of their very serious errors of Vatican II, nor the New Mass (<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Novus Ordo Missae</span>), nor any one of the reforms which are a consequence of this Council and which affect the life of the whole Church. Rome has merely made some concessions of a political nature to bring the Society closer, little  concessions which are not sufficient to serve as proof that there has been a real change of direction in Rome, in other words in the direction of Tradition. Quite the contrary, we find in all these negotiations and dialoguing a diplomacy which is full of duplicity. We cannot base our important decisions solely on rumours or facts which comprise no proof at all of the churchmen's conversion.<br />
<br />
The fact is that, despite the famous failure of the doctrinal discussions, supposedly conducted in order to convert Rome, (and which remain unpublished to this day), we are still trying to go full steam ahead towards an agreement with Rome at any price, in extremely dangerous conditions. And to crown it all, there are already today those who think that the Society ought to make an agreement to submit Rome, whether or not Rome has converted! (“I would even say that, in front of this sublime reality, any talk of whether or not we have an agreement with Rome is a trifling matter... defending the Faith, keeping the Faith, dying in the Faith, that's what's important!” - Bp. Fellay, Paris, 30th January, 2013).<br />
<br />
But perhaps we want to be dependent on those who do not have the same Catholic principles as us? Is it possible to have a good pastoral ministry without having good doctrine? Perhaps those who do not have sound doctrine could be in charge of the Traditionalist pastoral ministry? How can we understand one another regarding practice of the Faith if we do not have the same principles regarding Faith and Morals? <br />
<br />
Perhaps Francis, the new Pope, didn't begin his Pontificate by recommending a book by the heretic Kasper in his <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Urbi et Orbi</span> in St. Peter's Square! And wouldn’t it be a very pious idea to live in a cave with Ali Baba and the 40 thieves in order to convert Ali Baba and the 40 thieves...? A very pious idea, full of realism...! <br />
<br />
The conclusions of the Society's last General Chapter have only dramatically confirmed our fears, because in its official conclusion the leaders of the Society declared what will be the six conditions for us to accept an agreement with Rome or a ‘regularisation’ inside the Roman system. According to these, three are necessary, and the three others “desirable”, which means that even if the Pope doesn't let us have them, we will still accept the “agreement”. I might mention at this point that one of the “desirable” conditions isn't really a condition. Much could be said about these conditions, but the worst is to be found in the first of these three “desirable” conditions: the decisions of our ecclesiastical tribunals could be overturned by the tribunals of the conciliar Church; and with our agreement too! In other words, they with their modernist principles would make decisions affecting the pastoral ministry of Traditional priests! What's more, in the second “desirable” condition we accept the possibility of having to depend on local bishops, even though we’re well aware of the extent to which they would like to have an opportunity to make us submit to the ideas and pastoral practice of Vatican II. A real programmed suicide of Tradition! In addition, in the third of these conditions we also<br />
accept the possibility of the man in charge of the commission which represents us to the Pope not being himself a Traditionalist. But how could someone who does not think like<br />
us, and who is not one of us, represent us? Fr. Mario Trejo, the District Superior of Mexico, recently said in the District newsletter (‘<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Dios Nunca Muere</span>’, no.41, p.7) that in the declaration of the last General Chapter of the Society, “Every phrase, every word was weighed and examined in order to give testimony to the Faith of all time.” Well, with these conditions, how can the Faith of all time be defended by people who no longer profess it?<br />
<br />
In any case, it has now become clear that there is now a new attitude towards Rome and its errors on the part of those who now run the SSPX, a new position full of omissions and<br />
ready to make very serious compromises which, even if it hasn’t yet been brought about, brings to light a more than worrying state of mind. There is a gradual omission of any reference to our combat, or the objectives which Abp. Lefebvre gave the Society, An external policy corresponds to an internal ‘policy’: which is to say that within the Society, each time in an increasingly obvious way, the existence of a policy of repression against anyone who does not agree with the new orientation of the Society is confirmed. Pressuring, harassing, discrediting and punishing in various different ways anyone who shows that they disagree. Many more disturbing statements and actions could be added. Like, for example, what Fr. Raphael Arizaga heard from the mouth of Bishop Fellay in a conference to seminarians at Winona, on 21st December last year: “Because I wanted to preserve the internal unity of the Society, I withdrew the document in which I said 'I do not reject all of Vatican II' - which is what I really said.”<br />
<br />
Abp. Lefebvre counselled against going to Indult Masses as well as those groups with an atmosphere such as the Fraternity of St. Peter, because such atmospheres are corrupted at<br />
their root, in the sense that what is taught and promoted in the short- or long-term tends towards assimilation with the conciliar Church. But if the Society of St. Pius X changes its<br />
spirit and its objectives, could it not also end up being in a similar state, equal or worse, even if the agreement with Rome has, for the moment, not been made concrete?<br />
<br />
I myself have commented on how many priests have changed their attitude towards the combat of Tradition against the enemy, and unfortunately this has been more frequently<br />
the case with new priests. I am myself a victim of this new line from our superiors, a line full of omissions about struggle and our combat. Already, they're not seeing many enemies in Rome; optimism has little by little replaced the distrust which one ought naturally to feel towards the destroyers of the Church. My District Superior, Fr. Mario Trejo, has forbidden me to speak about these subjects: not just in sermons, but also in private! Whether it be with the faithful or with other priests, and that with the threat of transfer and severe punishments.<br />
And since I cannot accomplish my mission as a priest from within the Society, a mission which consists of showing forth the truth and denouncing danger which threatens souls, I<br />
have decided to continue my ministry outside the structure of the Society, although I continue to be a member of it, and this is for the good of the faithful who are in Mexico City and who wish to have recourse to my priestly ministry. I hope that you, as well as my fellow priests, will understand the reasons for this serious decision.<br />
<br />
May God, through Our Lady of Guadalupe, bless and enlighten you,<br />
Fr. Hugo Ruiz Vallejo, SSPX<br />
