Crisis in the Church: empty masses,
4,200 parishes without priest and 7,000 friars and nuns stop trading
Note. Those who want to understand the
current situation of the Church should carefully read the writings of those who
attended the Second Vatican Council in person. Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, in
my view, is the most authorized Archbishop given his Orthodox training, his
participation in the Council, for his great work such as the Saint Pius X
Fraternity, which today renounces the fully traditional Catholic spirit and
because he was consistent until his death in defending until death our Lord
Jesus Christ, his Blessed Mother the Virgin Mary, the Church founded by our
divine Savior and the infallible deposit of faith.For this sublime defense he
died "excommunicated" by the current authorities who are
representatives not of the Catholic Church of Forever but of the Anti Christ
whom they serve with their heresies already so widespread within the Church, I
leave the floor to Bishop Lefebvre.
God will be the victor
Let's continue reading:
“No one in their right mind can doubt
what is the battle that humanity is waging against God. Man is certainly
allowed, in abuse of his freedom, to violate the right and power of the
Creator; however, victory will always be God's ...»
Therefore, it is evident that God will
win. When? "Even so much more imminent is defeat, the more
boldly man stands awaiting victory." These warnings are given to us
by God himself in the Holy Scriptures. In effect, he overlooks the
sins of men (Wis 11:24) as having forgotten his power and
majesty; but then, after simulated indifference, awakened as
a man whose strength has been increased by wine (Ps. 77, 65),
he will break the heads of his enemies (Ps. 67, 22)».
The Pope quotes the words of Scripture:
"So that everyone may recognize that
the King of all the earth is God (Ps. 46, 7) and the people
may know that they are only men (Ps. 9, 20)".
What Saint Pius X says we can also say,
today more than ever. God "closes his eyes." We feel a bit abandoned
by God. Men commit the worst things, of which no one had dared to even think in
the time of Saint Pius X. Let us think of the laws that allow abortion and
that lead to the extermination of hundreds of millions of children in
supposedly civilized countries; immorality has reached
everywhere: you can no longer open a newspaper without talking
about kidnappings, crimes, rapes… We can ask ourselves: ¿what
is God waiting for to shake the world and make it tremble a little? God has
patience. He has appointed his hour, although we cannot know when he will
act. It could happen suddenly; he comes” like a thief”, something
like death.
«All this we maintain and we await it
with certain faith. Which, however, is not an impediment for each one, for
his part, to also try to make the work of God mature: and that not only by
assiduously asking: Rise up, Lord, let not man prevail (Ps.
9, 19), but - what is more important - with deeds and words, openly in the
light of day, affirming and vindicating for God the supreme dominion over men
and other creatures, so that His right to rule and His power receive worship
and be faithfully observed by all ».
Salvation through Jesus Christ This
is the program: work for the reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is clear. For
Saint Pius X, the rights of man do not count for anything, nor progress, nor changes
in structures; not. Only Our Lord. Through him salvation will come
to us, as he says later: let us do our duty, and if we seek peace we must not
seek it outside of God:
«Once God has been rejected, peace is
futilely sought, because justice is banished from where God is absent; and
justice removed, peace is expected in vain. Peace is the work of justice (Isa.
32:17)». (Today all that has been taken away and we are told of a
"peace" that does not come from God but from man, that is, a false
peace.)
Give to God what is God's and to your
neighbor what is your neighbor: this is the virtue of justice. Peace will
reign through her.
However, Saint Pius X then says:
«We know that there are not a few who,
driven by their desire for peace, tranquility and order, unite
in groups and factions that they call“ order ”. ¡Oh hope and vain worries!
"
But, is it not the "party of
order" that of the Church? For Saint Pius X that is not enough:
«There is only one party of order that
can really bring a situation of peace after disorder: that of those who are
with God. Therefore, it is necessary to promote this and it will be
necessary to attract everyone, if they are driven by their love of peace.
They are things that are no longer
heard now. The current Pope, in his speech in Paris at UNESCO 1,
said that the great means of restoring peace in the world consists in
giving conscience its rightful place and making people "become aware"
of the danger in which the world will be found if no efforts are made to
restore peace. There is no use "raising awareness" as they say
today, if the remedy is not given, and the only remedy is the law of God, the
Decalogue, which is the basis of all human and Christian civilization.
Saint Pius X does not hesitate to say:
"This return of all the nations of
the world to the majesty and the empire of God, will never occur, whatever our
efforts, if not for Jesus Christ (nunquam nisi per Jesum Christum
eveniet) ."
It's very clear.
«For the Apostle warns: No
one can lay any other foundation, apart from the one already laid, which is
Christ Jesus (1 Cor. 3, 11). It is evidently the same one whom
the Father sanctified and sent into the world (Jn. 10:36); the
splendor of the Father and the image of his substance (Heb. 1,
3). True God and true man: without whom no one could know God as he
should; for no one knows the Father except the Son and the one to
whom the Son would like to reveal him (Matt. 11:27)».
Christ is God
For Saint Pius X the consequence is
that:
"... establishing all
things in Christ and making men submit to God again is the same
thing."
Christ is God. It is something that
seems simple, and yet it is what so many adversaries of Our Lord and Catholics
who do not have a living faith always deny, since the latter do not consider
Him in their life or in all their ways of acting as if He were God. Obviously,
the mystery of God incarnate is very great. It is easier to see what is man in
Jesus Christ, because God hides behind his humanity. However, there are not two
persons in Our Lord Jesus Christ but only one, that of the Word: et
Verbum caro factum est. The Word is God who has taken flesh. So
if He really is God, we must honor Him as God, obey Him as such, and see to His
kingdom come to us.
«With Him at the forefront, humanity
will soon return to God himself. To a God, who is not the ruthless one,
contemptuous of humans that materialists have imagined in their delusions, but
the living and true God, one in nature, triune in persons, Creator of the
world, who foresees everything with great wisdom, and also a most just
Legislator who punishes sinners and has the reward ready for the virtuous».
Thus the following question arises:
«What is the way to reach Christ? We
have it before our eyes: the Church. For this reason, with good reason,
Chrysostom says: Your hope the Church, your salvation the Church,
your refuge the Church. For that is why Christ founded it, and
has conquered it at the price of his blood; and to her he entrusted his
doctrine and the precepts of his laws, at the same time that he enriched it
with the most generous gifts of his divine grace for the holiness and salvation
of men».
