GO GO Babelfish - I don't have time to do it by hand:

Once is not habit, association publishes today the entirety of the parochial bulletin Mascaret of septembre/octobre 2004.

Edito

I had initially thought of writing here a letter open to Mgr Fellay, kind of epilogue at this terrible summer which, after 31 years of cassock and 25 years of priesthood by, in and for Fraternity, excluded me like a criminal without very daring the statement: " You will be regarded as not belonging more... ", which courage. But the scars of these two months of ecclesiastical hell are there, open, open, full with blood and sweat. I would risk disrespectful formulas. It is absolutely not needed. Mgr Fellay believed its attacked Personal authority; it saw only that, it sees yet only that. As for me, I am wounded, disgusted - but you reassure more solved than ever - and a few weeks of calms will give to the answer which I absolutely owe in Mgr more serenity, of depth and truth.

It is thus with you that I prefer to address myself. To give again you courage, in this persecution which you undergo: " As well, all those which will want to live piously in Jesus Christ will have to undergo persecution " (holy Paul with Tim.). The apostle also knew that the sufferings come sometimes from the "false friends". He did not want that its own difficulties affect its faithful: " you do not let disturb by the sufferings which I endure for you: they are your glory ".

Faithful of Bordeaux or besides, thus raise the head! You were and you are marvellous at our sides. You showed with the face of the world where was the respect for priesthood and priesthood out of grass, seminarists. You as showed with us as the Authority, very divine as it is, can never be its own end and not aim, in his exercise, that to preserve itself. You showed that Fraternity Black and white Saint X cannot nor should not become what we saw it this summer: a zone of nonright, arbitrary of authoritative crispation, violence even.

You posted your intention to defend it, costs which costs, itself counters, to point out its origins to him " primarily apostolic (art. 2 of the statutes)", by and for priesthood, in the charity of its incomparable founder of which we do ours the currency: " Credidimus Caritati ". Yes, we still believe in the charity and the breath of the Holy Spirit so that brothers in arms and soldiers of Christ (Tim.), instead of tearing and to be excluded, build and build together. Sentence of Jérémie (1, 9 10), they retained only the beginning and forgot the end: " , I See established you in this day on the nations and the kingdoms, to tear off and cut down, build and plant... ". To tear off and cut down, surely not brothers. But rather to build and always plant with his/her brothers.

I said to Mister the abbot of Cacqueray, the evening of Sunday August 15: " Mister the abbot, I did not know you such an amount of energy and capacity. I was admiring. If for two years, you had used them to help me, support me and to encourage me in Bordeaux, one would not be there ". When I read in reviews under feather of abbots Lorans, Célier (of which the head is claimed by Chiré in Montreuil, which explains its sudden zeal with me pourfendre...) and of Cacqueray that all was undertaken to save your servant, I burst of laughing. With share: " Remove your recourse, and leave to Mexico ", I, absolutely nothing did not understand anything of other. It is nevertheless strong of coffee! The ridiculous one does not kill anybody any more, not even the Lorans abbot, this old friend whom I believed prouder...

Then, expensive faithful, if you include/understand me well, do not look at the local difficulties present; they are the price to be paid for the great victory which we gained right now together. Nothing will be like front, the handing-over in question go good train. I am at the very proud bottom of you. Saint-Eloi saw, thrives, and Fraternity can and must follow. That my enemies know that I forgive them of any heart; it for them that I did all that and not for me (which did have I is to gain there? ); and if they took to me for an adversary to cut down, I always regard them as brothers to be consolidated.

Abbot Philippe Laguérie

Babelfish translations are hilarious!
