OPEN REPLY TO OPEN LETTER OF MGR. NICOLA BUX

(Corrected Edition)

London, 22 March, 2012.

Monseigneur,

In an Open Letter of March 19, addressed to Bishop Fellay and to all priests of the Society of St Pius X, you appealed to us to accept the sincere and warm-hearted offer of reconciliation that Pope Benedict XVI is making to the SSPX for the healing of the long-standing rift between Rome and the SSPX. Let me as one of the SSPX priests that you addressed take upon myself to give you my opinion as to what might have been the answer of that “great churchman”, Archbishop Lefebvre.

Your letter begins with an appeal for “every sacrifice in the name of unity”. But there can be no true Catholic unity that is not grounded in the true Catholic Faith. The great Archbishop made every sacrifice for unity in the true doctrine of the Faith. Alas, the Doctrinal Discussions of 2009-2011 proved that the doctrinal rift between the Rome of Vatican II and the SSPX is as wide as ever.

To this rift you referred on March 19 as no more than “remaining perplexities, points to be deepened or detailed”, but on March 16 Cardinal Levada was categoric that the position taken by Bishop Fellay on January 12 is “insufficient to overcome the doctrinal problems”. Bishop Fellay once observed how the churchmen of Rome can differ among themselves, but be their unity what it may, in any case Faith sacrificed for unity would be a faithless unity.

Of course, as you remind us, the Church is an institution both divine and human. Of course the divine element cannot fail, so of course the Church cannot ultimately fail, and the sun will rise again. But one may beg to differ when you say that the dawn is close at hand, because that true Faith which the SSPX upheld in the Discussions is not shining out from the Rome of Vatican II, where accordingly the SSPX could not be in safety. Nor could it bring light if itself it adopted the Conciliar darkness.

The sincerity of the Pope’s wish to welcome back the SSPX into “full ecclesial communion”, as shown in a series of gestures of real good will, is not in doubt, but “a common profession of faith” between the SSPX and believers in Vatican II is not possible, unless the SSPX were to desert that Faith which it defended in the Discussions. And when the SSPX cries “God forbid !” to any such desertion, far from its voice being stifled, it is heard all over the world, and it bears for the Church Catholic fruits which today are the exception rather than the rule.

Certainly, “this is the appropriate moment”, certainly “the favourable time is come” for a solution to the agonizing problems of Church and world . However, it is that solution which the Heavenly Mother has long been calling for, and which depends upon the Holy Father alone. In fact when Our Lord put it in his Mother’s hands, she said that no other solution would work, so that He could not let any other solution work without making his Mother into a liar! Inconceivable.

The solution has been known of for a long time, for how could Heaven possibly have left the world in such distress as that of the last 100 years without providing a remedy like that provided by the prophet Elisha for the leprosy of the Syrian General Naaman ? Humanly speaking, bathing in the River Jordan seemed ridiculous, but nobody could say that it was not possible. It required merely some faith and humility. The pagan General gathered together enough faith and trust in the man of God to do what Heaven asked for, and of course he was cured instantaneously.

Let the Holy Father but gather together enough faith and trust in the promise of the Heavenly Mother ! Let him but seize this “appropriate moment” before the entire global economy collapses in ruins, and before madmen succeed in launching the Third World War in the Middle East ! Let him, we beg of him, we entreat him, save Church and world by merely doing what the Heavenly Mother asked for. It is not impossible. She would overcome all obstacles in his way. By doing what she asks for, he alone can now save us from unimaginable and unnecessary suffering.

And if he wishes for any support in prayer or action with which the humble SSPX could help him to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart in union with all the bishops of the world, whom the Heavenly Mother would rally, he knows that he could count first and foremost on the support of Bishop Fellay and the other three bishops of the SSPX, least among whom is

Your devoted servant in Christ,

+Richard Williamson.

Great letter!  Thank you for posting it.

Our Lady “said that no other solution would work,” unless the Consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate heart is done. Consequently, as it has not been done in the way that the Holy Virgen Mary wants, one could only wait for the worst to come.

[Dawn Marie]

I tried to say the exact same thing on IA this past week and was bombarded by the usual suspects i.e. sedevecantists/schismatics-same difference, who claim that the consecration to Mary is a non-issue and was already completed by Pope Pius the XII.

I was hailed as a Fatima fanatic simply because myself and others showed the obvious game plan of the master sede Charles who was trying to dismiss the consecration as a done deal and lead others into his ridiculous web of deceit in its regard.

Everyone worth their salt knows that a sede must say the consecration was done, otherwise they can not explain how it will be done since they believe the seat of Peter is empty.  They can't even explain how a Pope will be elected let alone consecrating Russia.

The only thing empty is the sede mind.  To them apparently the world stopped turning on October 9th 1958 and there are no Catholics left in the world except for them of course.

If what Pope Pius the XII did in 54 and 42 was sufficient then maybe the sede's can explain how vatii happened and how the mass apostasy followed.

The sede's idea of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart and peace are "interesting" to say the least if the time which followed the Pius the XII consecration of the world is their definition of those two events.  Not to mention a slew of other events which would also show by evident common sense Russia was not consecrated according to Our Lady's request.
