Transcribed from the talk given by Bishop Bernard Fellay, Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X, at Saint Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, Kansas City, Missouri (March 5, 2002)....

The Cardinal’s position is evident from his interviews such as in 30 Days: "It’s fine to celebrate either Mass, but please don’t pit one against the other. Don’t make use of one against the other." Well, the Society is definitely against the New Mass. We even say that it is "intrinsically evil."

Trent

Canon 7. If anyone says that the ceremonies, vestments, and outward signs which the Catholic Church uses in the celebration of masses, are incentives to impiety rather than stimulants to piety, let him be anathema

*Please bookmark these heresies. There are more to come and I get tired of repeatedly posting them

"During a discussion, the head of the Congregation for the Clergy told me:

'The pope and I like the New Mass. We think it is more apostolic. It is true that it lacks something, and it must be compensated for by an adequate catechesis.'

Then I recalled the definition of evil given by St. Thomas Aquinas:

'Evil is the privation of a due good. It is something which must be there which is lacking. Now, you yourself, Eminence, acknowledge that there is something missing from this New Mass. So you acknowledge that it is evil.'

I received no answer from the cardinal.

-Bishop Fellay

Through the intercession of St. Dymphna, may Our Lord grant you abundant graces. God Bless.
