His Excellency Bishop Tissier de Mallerais: Confirmation Sermon








His Excellency Bishop Tissier de Mallerais: Confirmation Sermon:


Bishop Fellay and the other three bishops who have been associated with the Society of St. Pius X are true servants of the Church. They are at the front of
defending the restoration so sought by Abp. Lefebvre of all things in
Christ and resisting the errors of modernism and ecumenism. How on
earth can anyone look at their priests, seminarians and followers and
say that they aren't Catholic? It makes me weep that the situation of
the SSPX is like this today, but these tears do not come in vain.
Prayers and penance will help end the greatest crisis of faith in the
Church.

Pray to St. Joseph, Patron of Universal Church

Pray to St. Joseph, Patron of Universal Church:


Most powerful patriarch St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, which has always invoked thee in anxiety and trouble, from the exalted seat of thy glory cast a loving glance upon the whole Catholic world. Let thy fatherly heart be touched at the sight of the mystical spouse and the Vicar of Christ overwhelmed with sorrow and persecuted by powerful enemies.



Oh! by the bitter anguish thou didst experience upon earth, dry the tears of the venerable Pontiff, defend him, liberate him, intercede for him with the Giver of peace and charity, that, all adversity being removed, and all error dissipated, the entire Church may serve God in perfect liberty: Ut destructis adversitatibus et erroribus universis Ecclesia secura Deo serviat libertate. Amen.



Prayer composed by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII, March 4, 1882

HABEMUS PAPAM - Pope Francis

HABEMUS PAPAM - Pope Francis:
Prayer for the Sovereign Pontiff



V. Oremus pro Pontifice nostro N.


R. Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum eius. (Ps 40:3)


Pater Noster, Ave Maria


Deus, omnium fidelium pastor et rector, famulum tuum N., quem pastorem Ecclesiæ tuæ præesse voluisti, propitius respice: da ei, quæsumus, verbo et exemplo, quibus præest, proficere: ut ad vitam, una cum grege sibi credito, perveniat sempiternam. Per Christum, Dominum nostrum. Amen.V. Let us pray for N, our Pope.


R. May the Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. (Ps 40:3)


Our Father, Hail Mary


O God, Shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful people, look mercifully upon Thy servant N, whom Thou hast chosen as shepherd to preside over Thy Church. Grant him, we beseech Thee, that by his word and example, he may edify those over whom he hath charge, so that together with the flock committed to him, may he attain everlasting life. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Open Letter to Pope Francis

Open Letter to Pope Francis:
Holy Father,



We at A Catholic Life assert the same philosophy we have embodied since our founding, only a few months after the election of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.



While I accept the authority of the Holy Father and all bishops in union
with him, I will not allow the Holy Catholic Church to be torn apart
and assaulted by the forces of Modernism, Syncretism, Heresy, and the
gross immorality of some of its clergy in the name of the "Spirit of
Vatican II". I will not allow our Catholic youth to be robbed of their
faith or have their innocence destroyed in the name of "tolerance",
"ecumenism", "diversity" or any other politically correct ideology of
the day. I am here to promote true Catholicism as taught by those
orthodox, faithful members of the clergy. I am here to be a light
shining in the darkness of sin that is destroying the Internet through
such means as pornography and atheism. In my endeavor to spread piety
and holiness, I shall remain completely obedient to the Holy Church, the
Holy Father, and my immediate superiors. Never shall I encourage
dissent or heresy.

I object to individuals or groups of
individuals being given access to Catholic schools, churches,
conferences and Church property to promote any belief, teaching, or idea
contrary to Catholic teaching as defined by two thousand years of
Tradition and Church teaching. I expect every Catholic priest to follow
the disciplines of the Catholic Church as he solemnly vowed to do. I
expect every bishop to do all he can to safeguard the souls of our
children by exercising his authority to ensure proper teaching within
Catholic schools and parish religion programs. And I insist that
Catholic colleges and universities either teach the True Faith or cease
calling themselves Catholic. I assert that homosexual men and pedophiles
are not to be admitted to the seminary and that women and married men
should never become priests. I object to the use of extraordinary
ministers of Holy Communion since it has always been taught that only
the hands of the ordained minister should touch the Eucharist. I assert
that it is a sin to attend Protestant services or worship services of
other religions. And I desire for all priests to be taught Latin in the
seminary and Gregorian Chant to return in all our churches.

I
object to any priest treating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as his
personal possession by adding, changing, or removing any part of the
Mass on his own authority. Furthermore, I assert that the right of every Catholic priest to celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass must be recognized,
and I consider it a grave scandal that such a right is not recognized
while at the same time countless liturgical and theological novelties
are promoted by many in the hierarchy.



We beg your swift action to reform this growing cancer in the Church so that the Faith may be saved and our Lord will triumph.  To Him be the glory through the Immaculate Heart of our Most Blessed Mother.



In Christ,



A Catholic Life

SSPX Reaction to the Election of Pope Francis

SSPX Reaction to the Election of Pope Francis:
Fr. Christian Bouchacourt, District Superior of South America, on the evening of the Pope’s election:

Cardinal Bergoglio wishes to be a poor man among the poor. He cultivates a militant humility, but can prove humiliating for the Church. His appearance in the loggia of St. Peter’s in a simple cassock without his rochet and mozzetta is a perfect illustration. He is a fine politician… And idealistic apostle of the poverty of the 70’s, he is completely turned towards the people, the poor, but without being a disciple of the theology of liberation.



Very conscious of the dilapidated state of his clergy, he did nothing to fix things. Never has the seminary of Buenos Aires had as few seminarians as today. It is a disaster, as have been the liturgies presided over by the “Cardinal of the Poor.” With him, we risk to see once again the masses of Paul VI’s pontificate, a far cry from Benedict XVI’s efforts to restore to their honor the worthy liturgical ceremonies.
He was firmly opposed to abortion. But while he wrote a beautiful letter to the Carmelites of Buenos Aires against the homosexual “marriage” bill – which was unfortunately voted through in the end – he had a regrettable discourse read during the protest against this bill, in which the name of Our Lord was not pronounced even once, while the Evangelistic pastor who spoke before him to excite the crowd delivered a more courageous discourse… (see DICI #219, July 24, 2010).
During an ecumenical meeting, he knelt to receive the blessing of two pastors.
He is a man of consensus, who hates confrontations. He kept his distance from the Catholics who denounced the blasphemous expositions that were held in Buenos Aires.
I have met him 5 or 6 times and he has always received me with benevolence, seeking to grant me what I wished, without going out of his way to overcome obstacles….
