Bishop Fellay: We wanted to meet the Holy Father because we are Catholic and, as every Catholic, we are attached to Rome. We wanted to show, in requesting this audience quite simply that we are Catholic.

*LOL Yeah, right Fellay. And three assertions you are Catholic in two sentences :) Yep, that's Tradition, baby.

Well, at least those assertions witness to the truth Fellay is, finally, realizing that as more and more is known about the sspx the less and less their pompous pretensions are taken seriously.

Fellay, the head honcho of the "catholic" sspx, which teaches the normative Mass is evil; the Second Vatican Ecuemnical Council taught errors; and the Jews as a race are cursed by God ought be grateful the Pope extends him such courtesy. I'd horse-whip him

And, as it is well-known the sspx lies in its propaganda (witness it's scandalous use of Card. Lara and his, supposed, idea that ordaining Bishops ain't schismatic); why ought we think Fellay is telling us the truth? We well-know the founder of the SSPX, lefebvre, for years said he didn't sign the documents of Vatican Two when he did, we well-know he signed protocols of agreement with Rome then repudiated it; when, exactly can their word or memories of events be trusted as reliable?

The only thing missing from the meeting was Fellay exiting the meeting and chanting "Keep Tradition alive" like another pius pretender to authentic ministry, Jesse Jackson, chanting "Keep hope alive"

Poor Pope Benedict having to deal with these nuts. And it ain't even Lent...

Here's an interesting commentary from WITL blogspot ...

Tears of a Schismatic

As if he wasn't before, Papabile proves himself again to be our resident SSPX go-to guy.

Apparently, the excommunicated SSPX head Bernard Fellay had to open his mouth in a lengthy interview with DICI -- Econe's in-house news agency....

Some snips:

There was likewise on our part the plan to remind once more the Sovereign Pontiff of the existence of Tradition. Ours is the concern to remind him that Tradition is the Church, and that we incarnate the Church’s Tradition in a manner that is very much alive. We want to show that the Church would be much stronger in today’s world if it maintained Tradition. Thus, we want to put forward our experience: if the Church desires to escape the tragic crisis that it is presently going through, then Tradition is a response, indeed the only response, to this crisis.

Um, Bernie, Vatican II is part of that Tradition. Accept it or else.

[In the papal audience] We there outlined a description of the Church, quoting the “silent apostasy” of John-Paul II, “the boat which is taken in water from every side” and “the dictatorship of relativism” of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, with as an appendix of photos of Masses quite as scandalous as one another....

Finally, we expressed our requests: the changing of the attitude of hostility towards Tradition, which attitude makes the traditional Catholic life (Is there any other?) practically impossible in the conciliar church. We requested that this be done by granting full liberty to the Tridentine Mass, by silencing the accusation of schism directed against us, by burying the pretended excommunications, and by founding a structure for the family of Tradition within the Church.

Oh, Jesus. He blew it. He really blew it.... "Accusation of schism"? "Pretended excommunications"?

Yeah, it's safe to say now that Williamson basically speaks the mind of the group. Don't expect a reconciliation anytime soon. And there goes the universal indult right along with it.

"I'd horse-whip him"

You display such anger and bitterness at the SSPX that you sound like someone who used to frequent their Masses, but had a major falling out with them.

Are you sure you're not being a bit coy about your past for a catholic guy?

;)

Whatever.
