RU 08/2009 - ROME, letter of the 4 bishops to B16
- “Priestly Society of Saint Pius X. To His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. -
Most Holy Father, In sentiments of thanksgiving we wish to express our deep gratitude for
Your act of paternal kindness and for the apostolic courage by which You
rendered ineffective the measure which imposed upon us twenty years ago as a
consequence of our episcopal consecrations. Your decree dated January 21, 2009
restores in some way the reputation of the venerated founder of our priestly
Society, His Grace Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. It also procures a great good to
the Church, so it seems to us, by doing justice to the priests and faithful
worldwide who, attached to the Tradition of the Church, will no longer be
unjustly stigmatized for having kept the Faith of their fathers. - Because of
this combat for the Faith, we assure Your Holiness, according to the wish You
expressed, that we ‘will spare no effort in exploring as yet unresolved
questions through requisite discussions with the authorities of the Holy See’.
Indeed we desire to begin, as soon as possible, exchanges with representatives
of Your Holiness concerning doctrines opposed to the Magisterium of all time. -
By following this path still necessary, mentioned by Your Holiness, we hope to
help the Holy See to bring the appropriate remedy to the loss of the Faith
inside the Church. - The Immaculate Virgin Mary has clearly guided the steps of
Your Holiness toward us, She will continue Her gracious intercession in His
favour. With this assurance, we filially ask the Universal Pastor to bless four
of His sons most attached to the Successor of Peter and to His charge of
feeding the lambs and the sheep of the Lord. - Menzingen, January 29, 2009, on
the feast of Saint Francis de Sales. +Bernard Fellay, +Richard Williamson,
+Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, +Alfonso de Galarreta” End of quotation of this letter, which
is a true `roadmap' for the future. Because what is projected here, and is
confirmed by the pope, is to review, in the face of the apostasy disaster which
is increasing in the Church, the principal decrees of the Vatican II Council,
in order to check their conformity with the catholic Tradition of all times. A
titanic work! Naturally, this dissatisfies the mafiosi who were introduced into
the - - O.A.M.D.G. - -
