But according to the Vatican, the good sisters are too much concerned about the poor and the marginalized and not enough about crucial church teachings against abortion and contraception. And as for holiness, well, I have seen a lot more holiness in the convents than I have in the chanceries. I don’t know any group who is more concerned with Christ’s poor than LCWR. As I said when the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s assessment was first issued, that description did not match my experience with women religious in the United States. The Vatican has come down hard on them for supposedly being radical feminists and not being concerned enough about fighting abortion and contraception. But only for the rebels, not for the faithful questioners.Ĭompare this jilted lover’s pursuit of SSPX with the Vatican’s treatment of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), an organization established with Vatican approval. Pius X (SSPX) the canonical status of a personal prelature, similar to Opus Dei (flip!).
Why is the true church pursuing these schismatic heretics and making deals with them about what church teachings they need to or don’t need to accept? The Vatican’s most recently-floated idea is that it would be willing to grant the Society of St. It is incontrovertibly true that the Vatican took the first steps here. This is what say when they declare that Rome must convert before any agreement, or that its errors must first be suppressed so that we can work.” So now it is SSPX (flip!) that gets to tell the pope what he needs to believe?Īnd what is even more troubling in this bizarre roundelay is that it is the Vatican that is pursuing the Lefebvrists, and not the other way around (flip!).
Fellay has been quoted as saying, "Some claim that in order to work safely in the church, she must first be cleansed of all error.

The SSPX leader, the illicitly ordained bishop, and recently un-excommunicated Bernard Fellay, has been telling the press that Rome no longer makes total acceptance of the teachings of the Second Vatican Council a pre-requisite for SSPX’s full reconciliation with the church.īut what parts of the teachings of the Second Vatican Council will SSPX get to pick and choose? I bet some of those teachings they want to get rid of are those crazy Vatican II decrees on the priesthood of the laity ( Lumen Gentium), on the rights of Christ’s faithful ( Lumen Gentium and Gaudium et Spes), and certainly those nutty things the Council said about the liturgy ( Sacrosanctum Concilium), about religious liberty ( Dignitatis Humanae) and the unacceptability of ant-semitism ( Nostra Aetate). Pius X (SSPX) had to agree to accept the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, which they reject as heretical, before any deal could be made. First the Vatican said that the Society of St. The Vatican, under Benedict XVI, is doing somersaults to get the excommunicated, anti-semitic Lefebvrists back into the church’s tent. In our church, it pays more to rebel than to faithfully question.
