Dear Catholic Candle:

Subject: Fr. Bouchacourt communiqué of July 2, 2015—“to kill the messenger”

I reply to the above communiqué with a question: When it comes to attacks against the traditional Catholic Faith, how tolerant will the SSPX faithful be, before they speak up?

Well, the Dominicans of Avrille, France (the “messenger” in this case) could tolerate them no longer, i.e., Bishop Fellay and his staff attacking the traditional Catholic Faith and their efforts to liberalize the SSPX. (See below, a partial list of their efforts.)

• The SSPX accepts 95% of the documents of Vatican II.
• The SSPX falsely claims that some Vatican II documents are entirely traditional.
• Bp. Fellay approves a hybrid mass between the Traditional Catholic Mass and the new mass.
• Bp. Fellay says: one can make Archbishop Lefebvre say whatever one wants.
• Bp. Fellay said he has mixed feelings about the beatification of Pope John Paul II (rather than recognizing it as evil).
• Bp. Fellay said the Second Vatican Council … illuminates—i.e., deepens and further makes explicit—some aspects of the life and of the doctrine of the Church.
• Bp. Fellay accepted one of Pope John Paul II’s favorite phrases, that the Jews are our “Elder Brothers”.
• Bp. Fellay said Vatican II’s doctrine of religious liberty is very, very limited.
• Bp. Fellay says that he would like to hope that … Vatican II belongs to Tradition.
• Bp. Fellay says that the crisis [in the Church] came from the collapse of Church authority (rather than because Church authority was used to attack the Catholic Faith).

The Dominicans, very conscious of the above list, said “enough is enough” and could remain quiet no longer. They began to speak up loud and clear. So Bishop Fellay sent Fr. Bouchacourt into action against the messengers.

The question I ask to your readers, is: how tolerant are you now and how tolerant are you going to be in the future? Those in the Resistance (and the Dominicans) have had enough of Bishop Fellay and his staff leaning liberal and are taking action. How about you joining us and fighting back, for the Mystical Body of Christ and the restoration of the Society to 100% Tradition?
