Just bought a book with pastoral letters written by Archbishop Lefebvre. He was brilliant-—his understanding of Catholic Theology was correct. We see the evil fruits of Vatican II which he knew would occur. I see it at “mass” every Sunday—and the evil Marxism/Socialism which has seeped into the liturgy and the circus atmosphere that didn’t exist prior to Vatican II and absence of addressing sin and saving souls.
Vatican II has devastated the Catholic Church and opened the door for heresy. Pope Benedict inherited a very damaged Church. Why he resigned? Don’t know.....but it is an extremely interesting time for the Church.
They should have SSPX lead the way to sanity and Rational Theology again in the tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas. Faith and Reason! SSPX understands why the Church —infiltrated-—no longer embraced or taught the Truth. The Church is irrelevant and hardly “holy” when they just embrace popular culture. They need to get back to Tradition and the Truth about Contraception. They can’t skirt the issues any longer and has to condemn evil (sin) in strong terms.
Obedience to the magisterium is crucial for SSPX. What good does their brilliance do in schism? Absolutely nothing.
