#AbuseOfPower
The decree is an abuse of power by an authority that has itself become a "destroyer of the Catholic Faith inside Rome". The conciliar Church excommunicates those who defend Tradition while embracing heretics and promoting false doctrines. This is a travesty of justice.

The Principle: Nemo dat quod non habet (No one gives what he does not have)
A bishop who has not been validly consecrated cannot ordain valid priests. A priest who has not been validly ordained cannot offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. A Pope who is not truly a Catholic (materially holding heretical positions) cannot command obedience.

The conciliar hierarchy, being of doubtful ordination and holding heretical doctrines, possesses no moral or spiritual authority to judge or condemn the defenders of Tradition.

An Open Letter to the Holy Father and to My Brothers of the Society of Saint Pius X, #SSPX

Most Holy Father,

With filial respect for the Chair of Saint Peter and with an unwavering love for the Holy Catholic Church, I write not to sow division, but to bear witness to the Faith that has been handed down intact from the Apostles. This is not a spirit of rebellion, but an appeal born of necessity, for the present crisis has reached such proportions that silence would no longer serve the truth.

The crisis devastating the Church today is not merely administrative or disciplinary—it is above all a crisis of Faith. Its roots lie in the doctrinal and pastoral revolution unleashed after the Second Vatican Council, whose ambiguities and novelties have opened the door to ecumenism, religious liberty, collegiality, the New Mass, and the gradual eclipse of the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The fruits are visible everywhere: empty seminaries, abandoned convents, collapsing Catholic nations, moral confusion, and souls deprived of sound doctrine.

No canonical arrangement, diplomatic agreement, or administrative reform can heal this wound unless Rome returns openly and unreservedly to the perennial Magisterium of the Church. The solution is not adaptation to the modern world but conversion back to the Faith of all time.

Sacred Tradition is the rule of our Faith. It is the living transmission of divine Revelation faithfully guarded by the Popes, Councils, Fathers, Doctors, and Saints throughout the centuries. No Pope, no Council, and no ecclesiastical authority possesses the power to contradict what the Church has always believed, taught, and practiced. Authority exists to preserve Tradition—not to reinvent it.

The Successor of Saint Peter received from Christ the solemn duty to confirm his brethren in the Faith, not to expose them to doctrinal ambiguity or pastoral experiments. Whenever confusion replaces clarity, Catholics have the duty to hold fast to what the Church has always taught, even if this requires respectfully resisting those novelties that endanger souls. As Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre repeatedly affirmed, when obedience is used to destroy the Faith, resistance becomes a duty.

Many faithful Catholics grieve as they witness doctrinal confusion, sacrilegious liturgies, religious indifferentism, false ecumenism, interreligious gatherings, moral compromise, and the steady abandonment of Catholic tradition. These are not imaginary fears nor mere nostalgia; they are the bitter fruits of a revolution that has departed from the constant teaching of the Church.

Therefore I respectfully ask: when will Rome once again condemn error with clarity? When will she proclaim without ambiguity that the Catholic Faith alone is the one true Faith, that Christ alone is King of nations, that the traditional Roman Mass is the greatest treasure of the Church, and that the novelties which have devastated countless souls must be rejected?

Those attached to Tradition have never desired separation from Rome. We recognize the Papacy as a divine institution founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ and reject true schism. Yet our first obedience is owed to the Catholic Faith itself. No authority can oblige Catholics to abandon what every previous generation of Catholics held as sacred. Our fidelity is to Eternal Rome, not to the passing errors of modernism.

History teaches that saints resisted even high ecclesiastical authorities whenever the Faith itself was endangered. Such resistance is not rebellion but fidelity. The crisis of our own day demands that same supernatural courage.

Our attachment is not to personalities or organizations but to Jesus Christ, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Catholic priesthood, and the Deposit of Faith. Every law, every command, and every pastoral policy must serve the supreme law: the salvation of souls.

To my brothers of the Society of Saint Pius X:

The battle before us is greater than institutional questions. It concerns the preservation of the Catholic priesthood, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and the Faith itself. Whatever prudential differences may exist among traditional Catholics, they must never weaken our common resistance against the modernist revolution.

If, in the present state of necessity, episcopal consecrations become necessary to preserve the traditional priesthood and ensure the continuation of the true Catholic apostolate, may they be undertaken solely for the glory of God, the preservation of Tradition, and the salvation of souls. May every consecration proclaim that the Catholic priesthood cannot perish because modern authorities neglect or oppose it.

Remain faithful to the principles taught by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. His stand was never merely for the old Mass, but for the entire Catholic Faith against the errors of modernism. He understood that Rome occupied by modernist ideas must be resisted until she returns to the perennial Magisterium. His great work was not one of rebellion but of Catholic preservation.

May every bishop, priest, seminarian, and faithful Catholic remember that we are guardians—not owners—of the sacred inheritance entrusted to us. We have received it; we have no authority to alter it. Our duty is to hand it on intact.

I pray for the day when Rome will publicly reject the errors that have entered the Church since the Council, restore the fullness of Catholic doctrine, return completely to Sacred Tradition, restore the traditional Roman liturgy to its rightful place, and once again proclaim the universal Social Kingship of Christ without compromise.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, together with Saint Pius X, Saint Athanasius, Saint Pius V, and all the great defenders of Catholic Tradition, obtain for us the grace of perseverance during this unprecedented crisis.

May Christ the King reign once more over every altar, every seminary, every parish, every nation, and every soul.

Adveniat Regnum Tuum.

Viva Cristo Rey.

THE SSPX CONFIRMS ITS NEW AMBIGUOUS COURSE FOR THE COMING DECADES

We wish we had been wrong when we expressed our concern that the priests chosen to be consecrated as bishops in the SSPX on July 1 would not be of a sound line.

The Society has now announced the names. As far as is known, all of them were “officialists” when Bishop Fellay attempted to make a treacherous agreement with liberal Rome. None of them is known as a militant anti-modernist. One of them actively collaborated with Bishop (?) Huonder.

None of the courageous deans who were removed from their positions in 2017 was considered. No priest from the South American District, known for its combative spirit, was chosen; instead, one was selected from the U.S. District, which is regarded as the most liberal district within the SSPX. None of the chosen names belongs to a distinguished theologian, even though the Society has no shortage of excellent theologians. Why? Fr. Álvaro Calderón is probably the best theologian in the world at this moment, and although he is a great theologian, he is perhaps even greater for his charity and humility. If there was a theologian among the bishops consecrated by Archbishop Lefebvre (Bishop Tissier de Mallerais), why could there not be another theologian this time? Because Fr. Calderón, through his excellent books, has completely exposed the satanic nature of Vatican II and the false magisterium that followed it. Because he is regarded as a “hardliner” in the eyes of those who have drifted away from Archbishop Lefebvre’s holy and uncompromising stance toward a certain liberalism.

What can be expected? More of the same, in the best-case scenario: decades of political calculation, diplomacy, secrecy, and ambiguity. In the worst-case scenario: the definitive surrender of the SSPX, in the medium term, to the liberal and modernist enemy, driven by the new bishops.

May God have mercy on everyone and grant the speedy restoration of His Church.

The July 1st Consecrations
May 20 2026
Original Source: www.mosteirodasantacruz.org/post/as-sagrações-do-1…

After 38 years, Écône will once again be the setting for episcopal consecrations, without the consent of neo-modernist and neo-Protestant Rome, but with the consent of Eternal Rome, the teacher of truth and wisdom. Since we are far removed from any direct contact with the protagonists of this great act, we can only judge it from the outside. From this perspective, everything seems to be unfolding in a context that Archbishop Lefebvre would have fully approved.

Nevertheless, some questions must still be asked. If the Society is truly determined to face excommunications, as Archbishop Lefebvre did, then all the concessions granted by Rome will be revoked. All the ties by which Rome had bound the Society will be broken. Marriages, confessions, and ordinations will be carried out as they were in the time of Archbishop Lefebvre. Will it really be so? Time will tell.

As for those who have been chosen, we hope that they possess the same dispositions that Archbishop Lefebvre desired in those who were consecrated in 1988. And as for the consecrating bishops, will they have the same intentions that Archbishop Lefebvre had in 1988? Once again, time will tell. It is not easy to erase in an instant 25 years of rapprochement with Conciliar Rome, but all things are possible if they have the grace to possess the same dispositions that Archbishop Lefebvre had on June 30, 1988.

May Our Lady of Good Counsel grant them this grace, so that they may resume the struggle of the holy bishops Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop Antônio de Castro Mayer, who defended us against the attacks of the modernists established in Rome.

Econe Episcopal Consecrations

LETTER FROM BROADSTAIRS JUNE 2026
Nova et vetera

Original Source: respicestellam.org/letter-from-broadstairs-june-20…
Given the announcement that the Society of Saint Pius X intends to consecrate four new bishops with out papal mandate this July, a few words on the subject may be opportune.

Certainly the Church needs validly consecrated bishops, not just to administer the sacraments, but most especially to preach the Faith and to denounce the modern errors which threaten the Faith.

No doubt the Society also needs bishops so as to continue its world-wide apostolate, not least because the two remaining bishops are not getting any younger.

Having said that, it is important to realise that the forthcoming consecrations will not automatically make the Society revert to its previous position of keeping its distance from the Conciliar Church. “It is imperative for every priest who wishes to remain Catholic to be separated from the Conciliar Church until such time as it has returned to the traditional Magisterium of the Church and the Catholic Faith,” [Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, ‘Spiritual Journey,’ 1990].

Hence the guiding principle was that of not entering into any practical agreements with modern Rome until Rome had returned to Catholic Tradition. Such a return would be manifested in Rome’s embracing the anti liberal and anti modernist encyclicals, the anti-modernist oath, the social reign of Christ the King, and a true consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

This principle changed in 2012 when doctrinal discussions and increasing contacts with modern Rome resulted in the so-called “Rolls-Royce of a deal” proposed by Benedict XVI to Bishop Fellay, and this regardless of Rome’s persistence in the modern errors of liberalism, modernism and false ecumenism. The deal did not take place because of the Society’s refusal to accept the New Mass and Vatican II, but the damage had been done.

The 2015-16 ‘Year of Mercy’ under Pope Francis gave as one of its main intentions the Society’s reintegration in to the ‘Official Church.’ This intention was placed alongside that of the rehabilitation of divorced couples married outside the Church, as well as that of homosexual couples in stable relationships!

The same occasion saw the apparently unilateral granting of ordinary jurisdiction to the Society for its Confessions, due to its being on the so-called path to full communion with Rome.

In 2017 the Society entered into a practical deal with modern Rome regarding its marriages, effectively placing these latter in the hands of the local conciliar hierarchy.

Hence, in the unlikely event that the Society truly means to return to its former solid position, as maintained by the so-called Resistance, it would need to make an unambiguous declaration to this effect. Failing this the Society would, and regardless of any possible sanctions, simply continue in its desire to be recognised by, and to cohabitate with the Conciliar authorities, hopeful of one day obtaining a side chapel in their ecumenical basilica.

Such a declaration would also have to specifically include a rejection of the practical agreement on marriages as made in 2017 which subjected the bastions of Tradition to the modernist hierarchy. This is something quite different from a simple forfeiting of the so-called concessions acquired to date. Previously the Society’s marriages had been performed on the basis of supplied jurisdiction and the documents signed by the parties involved stated clearly the justifications for this.

Marriages performed in virtue of this agreement, by the local ordinary’s delegate or by delegation directly to a Society priest, are, in both instances, subject to the New Code of Canon Law and the Conciliar marriage tribunals. Thus they are potentially exposed to dubious ‘fast-track annulments’ which the concerned parties can now have recourse to in good faith! Far from strengthening the marriage bond, as the Society superiors claimed at the time, this practical agreement has in fact created a weakening of traditional Catholic marriages and families…

Other subjects which ought to be included in a declaration should also address: the pseudo-consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart by Pope Francis in 2022 (which was officially accepted by the Society at the time); the policy of no longer habitually performing conditional ordinations for those coming from the Conciliar Church; the moral dilemma caused by the Society’s official position regarding the Covid vaccinations…

So it is that we are somewhat alarmed by the rallying of hitherto lucid individuals and communities to the Society of Saint Pius X as if everything would return to normal in the combat for the Faith by virtue of the announced consecrations!

We see in this present confusion in Catholic Tradition an example of the diabolical disorientation prophesied by Our Blessed Lady at Fatima. May we continue to work and pray for a true consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, so that in Her promised triumph the Church will be delivered from the scourges and the agents of liberalism, modernism and naturalism…

Support TradCath Sermons / Pre-Vatican II Talks

Behind every video uploaded…
behind every sermon preserved online…
behind every photograph documenting the life of Tradition…
there are sacrifices that most people never see.

Many assume that producing Catholic content is simply a matter of pressing a "record" button. In reality, it often involves long hours of editing, organizing files, maintaining equipment, and finding ways to continue despite limited resources.

Our little apostolate, "Pre Vatican II Talks", exists to preserve and promote the treasures of the Traditional Catholic Faith through videos, photographs, sermons, conferences, and historical documentation. But this work depends greatly on the tools needed to continue it.

At present, one of our greatest concerns is something rather unglamorous: "computer storage".

Our administrator's hard drives are almost full. As many photographers and videographers know, simply deleting files is not always a good solution. These recordings often contain precious sermons, Traditional Masses, conferences, and moments in the life of the apostolate that cannot be recreated once lost.

Even more concerning, we currently have very limited backup storage. Should an internal hard drive suddenly fail—which all hard drives eventually do—years of irreplaceable material could disappear overnight.

Perhaps this is one of those modern forms of carrying the Cross: praying that the computer survives one more week! Thankfully, Divine Providence has always had the final word.

For this reason, we humbly ask for your assistance.

Your support can help provide:

• External hard drives and backup storage devices
• Memory cards and other recording media
• Replacement computer equipment when necessary
• Video and audio recording equipments
• Accessories needed for editing and production
• Future equipment to improve the quality of our apostolate

And yes... if some generous benefactor happens to have a "drone" available for the service of Tradition, we would gratefully accept it. Imagine the beauty of documenting Catholic events, chapels, and processions from above—always *Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam*.

Likewise, if anyone wishes to donate cameras, solid tripods, lighting equipment, computers, storage devices, or other tools for this apostolate, we would be deeply grateful. If you have ever wondered why the quality of our videos could be improved, perhaps you may be the instrument Divine Providence uses to make that possible.

Every contribution—large or small—helps preserve the voice of Tradition for future generations.

A new hard drive may not seem as inspiring as a church bell or a stained-glass window, but it may preserve the sermon that strengthens a soul, the conference that clarifies the Faith, or the images that document the work of God among His people.

If this apostolate has benefited you or your family, please consider helping us continue this mission.

Pre Vatican II Talks

Behind every Traditional Mass offered…
behind every future priest being formed…
behind every chapel built for the preservation of the Catholic Faith…
there are sacrifices that most people never see.

Many do not know this, but for years our seminary rebuilding project has struggled financially. There were long periods when the budget was nearly exhausted, when we honestly did not know how the workers would be paid or how the construction could continue another day.

Yet the work goes on — not because we are rich, but because Divine Providence continues to send generous souls.

Fr. François Chazal, Superior of the MCSPX and Rector of the Seminary, has carried this burden quietly for years. Those close to him know how often he sacrifices personally just to keep the mission alive. Sometimes, with his usual simple humor, Father says he may need to ask “Mommy” again so the workers can still receive their salaries and the seminarians can continue their formation. We smile when he says it — but behind the smile is a real sacrifice.

This mission is not supported by wealthy institutions or modern diocesan structures. It survives because ordinary Catholics, who still love Tradition, choose to help.

This video https://youtu.be/D_fMOvmlBOs was filmed in March 2024 by a French lady who visited the seminary to interview Father Chazal. It is not a recent video, but I am sharing it so people may see the hidden work, struggles, and sacrifices behind this apostolate.

Thanks be to God, much has improved since then. The seminary tower destroyed by the typhoon has now been rebuilt in concrete and steel. The Heart of Jesus Mary Seminary here in Cebu is slowly rising again.

But we are still far from finished.

There are still materials to buy, workers to support, seminarians to feed and form, and missionary works to continue. Every donation — whether large or small — truly becomes part of the mission.

Even the smallest help can place another brick in the seminary…
help continue a missionary Mass…
or assist in forming a future priest who will preserve the Traditional Catholic Faith for souls.

If this work touches your heart, please consider helping us.
