Dear Mr. Thompson,
In your article
Archbishop Lefebvre’s surprising legacy
printed in the
Catholic Herald of 22nd June 2018, you accuse Archbishop Lefebvre of
stubbornness. Indeed, he was stubborn, but his was the stubbornness of a
St. Athanasius or a St. John Fisher fighting against heresy rather than that of
a bitter old man that you seem to infer.
You are surprised that his consecration of four bishops without a mandate has
borne fruit, but how could it be otherwise? Archbishop Lefebvre was doing
his duty as a Catholic bishop: passing on what he had received. He was the
champion of Catholic doctrine against the revolution that was the Second
Vatican Council. That the Second Vatican Council was a revolution is a boast
of its own architects; that it was not inspired by the Holy Ghost is evident
from its fruits which are rotten.
Archbishop Lefebvre believed that the restoration of the Catholic priesthood
was the means by which the crisis is the Church would be resolved and he
founded the Society of St. Pius X for this end. Its continued survival and
growth shows that it is thus-far blessed. It now exists in a canonical limbo,
but this is not of choice. It wishes to be secure and free to preach and practice
the faith within the visible structure of the Church, but this is not possible
through no fault of its own.
We are made as the refuse of this world, the
offscouring of all, even until now
, but that is our glory. The Society remains
free to remind the world of Catholic truths and is a bulwark against the
enemies of the Catholic faith within the hierarchy of the Church, for it is not
unreasonable to suggest that, if it failed, these enemies would not be slow to
declare open season on the Fraternity of St. Peter, the Institute of Christ the
King and all the other Ecclesia Dei communities.
One day, the decision of Archbishop Lefebvre to consecrate the four bishops
will be widely hailed as a heroic act of prudence and an example of obedience
to the higher law of doctrine rather than to the law of a man, even if that man
be the pope himself.
Thank you for asking for prayers for the repose of the soul of the Archbishop.
Please may your readers pray for his successors too.
Yours, in Christo Sacerdote,
Rev. Robert Brucciani
District Superior of Great Britain
Society of St. Pius X

Wonderful to hear something other than appeasement of Conciliar Rome coming out of the Society!
