TU ES PETRUS...
On
18
November,
we
celebrate the dedication of
Saint Peter Basilica. It is the
occasion for us to renew in
our heart our indefectible
attachment
to
Rome.
Archbishop Lefebvre had the
deepest love for Rome which
he called “our Holy Land”.
The crisis of the Church
should not make us forget that
the Catholic Church is divine.
That is why the saintly
Archbishop so firmly resisted
the new ways certain as he
was that sooner or later Rome
would be Rome again.
“In the Church there is no law
or jurisdiction which can impose on a Christian the
diminution of his faith. All the faithful can and should resist
what interferes with their faith… It is because we judge that
our faith is endangered by the post-conciliar reforms and
tendencies, that we have the duty to disobey and keep
Tradition. Let us add this, that the greatest service we can
render to the Church and to the
successor of Peter is to reject the
reformed and liberal church… I
am not of that religion, I do not
accept that new religion. It is a
liberal,
modernist
religion.
Christians are divided… priests
no longer know what to do; either
they obey blindly what their
superiors impose on them, and
lose to some degree the faith, or
they resist, but with the feeling of separating themselves
from the Pope. Two religions confront each other; we are in
a dramatic situation, it is impossible to avoid a
choice.” (Archbishop Lefebvre, 1986, “Open Letter to
Confused Catholics”)
“I have never changed. I have preached and done what the
Church has always taught. I have never changed what the
Church said in the Council of Trent and at the First Vatican
Council. So who has changed? It is the enemy, as Pope St.
Pius X said, the enemy who is working within the Church
because he wants the Church to be finished with her
tradition.” (Archbishop Lefebvre, Homily, Venice, April 7,
1980)
“We are not of this new religion! We do not accept this new
religion! We are of the religion of all time; we are of the
Catholic religion. We are not of this “universal religion” as
they call it today – this is not the Catholic religion any
more. We are not of this liberal, modernist religion which
has its own worship, its own priests, its own faith, its own
catechisms, its own “ecumenical” Bible. We cannot accept
these things. They are contrary to our Faith. It is an
immense, immense pain for us, to think that we are in
difficulty with Rome because of our faith! We are in a truly
dramatic situation. We have to choose an appearance of
disobedience – for the Holy Father cannot ask us to
abandon our faith; it is impossible, impossible! We choose
not to abandon our faith, for in that
we cannot go wrong.” (Archbishop
Lefebvre, Ordination Sermon, June
29, 1976)
“The Novus Ordo Missae, even
when said with piety and respect
for the liturgical rules… is
impregnated with the spirit of
Protestantism. It bears within it a
poison
harmful
to
the
faith.” (Archbishop Lefebvre, Open
Letter to Confused Catholics)
“So, may our presence here in Rome be an occasion for us
to strengthen our faith, to have, if necessary, the souls of
martyrs, the souls of witnesses (for a martyr is a witness),
the souls of witnesses of Our Lord Jesus Christ, witnesses of
the Church. Here is what I wish you, my most dear brethren,
and in this we must be unflinching, whatever happens. We
must never agree to diminish our faith; and if by misfortune
it were to happen that those who ought to defend our Faith
came to tell us to lessen or diminish it, then we must say:
"NO."Saint Paul put this very well: "Though we, or an angel
from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we
have preached to you, let him be anathema."“ (Archbishop
Lefebvre, Homily, Rome, May 25, 1975)
