From Traditio, "Nov 25":

On November 7 at an SSPX retreat in Ridgefield, Connecticut, Bishop Fellay, Chief Bishop of the SSPX, was quoted as saying that "some of his priests might succumb to the pressure" of accepting the Novus Ordo. Can Fellay and the SSPX be trusted to stay away from Newvatican?

OK, what's up this time? Is this in reference to the rats in France or is there more trouble brewing?

It all comes from the idiocy of holding that the true Church can promulgate false teaching, a 'bad mass', etc.

THIS IS HERESY!!!.

The true Church cannot teach error, promulgate invalid, ineffective, or whatever excuse word the SSPX now uses, sacraments.

The fact that false teaching is being proclaimed, a heretical invalid mass promulgated, and similarly other invalid sacraments means that therfore WHAT IS PROMULGATING THEM IS NOT THE TRUE CHURCH!

Yeah, then they wonder why almost half of their priests have left since their founding - and 95% run back to the maws of satan of the novus ordo.

I think Bishop Fellay was recognizing human nature. Some of us are stronger than others, priests included. I think he wants an ironclad situation to protect them from pressures to which Campos and FSSP have succumbed.

My understanding of the situation in France was it concerned seminary life at Econe. Nothing to do with the N.O. or Rome. I don't know where the French priests are but I strongly doubt they returned to the N.O.
