More than ever I feel the need of having Thee close to me.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

The Bishops of England and Wales prepare to welcome the SSPX
That's very mischievous of you. I'm sure the bishops will be only a tad less enthusiastic in their welcome for the SSPX than they have been for the Ordinariate.
aquí les transcribo lo que decía Mons. Lefebvre de quien entonces era Cardenal Ratzinger:“… aunque nos concedan un obispo, aunque nos den una cierta autonomía de los obispos, aunque nos permitan utilizar toda la liturgia de 1962, aunque nos permitan seguir con el seminario como funciona ahora… no podemos colaborar, porque trabajamos en una dirección diametralmente opuesta… Roma ha perdido la Fe… Roma ha caido en la apostasía… “
But, of course, the attitude of Bishops' Conferences to SSPX produces a major stumbling block to reintegration. After all, it all started-off with the Local Ordinaries reneging upon Msgr. Lefebvre's seminary faculties. Had they left well alone, I wonder what the position would now be.
Richard,
ReplyDeleteAt least H.E.Cardinal Burke is more supportive of the SSPX see: RC or TJS!
Cheers,
Michael.

ReplyDeleteGenty - yes it was rather naughty wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteMichael - We need more like HE Cardinal Burke.
Great post - though I wish you had used a better film version than the awful one you picked.
ReplyDeleteIn cinema terms, always remember: older is better. MUCH better.
Genty you beat me to it!
