Vatican Cardinal enlists the help of SSPX to ‘fight the modernists’
In great irony Muller is a Modernistto fight against. When will the NeoSSPX wake up? Muller has been on record saying the goal was to get the SSPX to accept the heresies in Vatican II.
In an explosive homily delivered Sunday, the leader of the Society of Pius X (SSPX) said the Prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith wants the SSPX to be fully reconciled to help fight modernists in the Church.
“Bishop [Bernard] Fellay [reported] the comments of Cardinal (Gerhard) Muller asking the SSPX to join his fight against the modernists,” according to the SSPX’s USA District. Fellay said “there is much contradiction” among Church leaders with regard to the SSPX, which had a break with the Vatican over Vatican Council II. Some consider the group, which has a canonically irregular status but valid ordinations and faculties to hear Confessions, schismatic. Others, like Pope Francis, acknowledge that it is Catholic. “There is a battle between the bishops, among the cardinals, this is a new situation,” said Fellay. “Rome is no longer one, it is divided. And in such a way that some see that things have gone too far. And they say ‘you have to do something, you have to resist.’” The good news, according to Fellay, is that “there are other [prelates] who speak, who resist” errors perpetuated by the ongoing crisis within the Church, meaning the SSPX “are not alone … a whole work of renewal of the Church has begun.” Fellay said he has received letters of support from other bishops and priests. Fellay addressed the SSPX being offered a personal prelature within the Church. He said that such an arrangement would include the prelate of the SSPX being a bishop – and the Society having auxilliary bishops as well. The Pope would choose the bishop based on names submitted to him by the SSPX. “Everything that exists now will be recognized all over the world,” said Fellay. “And the faithful also! They will be in this Prelature with the right to receive the sacraments and teachings from the Society’s priests. It will be also possible to receive religious congregations, as it is in a diocese: Capuchins, Benedictines, Carmelites, and others. This prelature is a Catholic structure which is not under the [authority of the local] bishops. It is autonomous.”
