It is not up to us, who wear ecclesiastical purple and red, to draw this into question, to be disobedient and make the motu proprio void by our own little, tittle rules. Even not if they were made by a bishops conference. Even bishops do not have this right.<BR/>What the Holy Fathers says, has to be obeyed in the Church. If we do<BR/>not follow this principle, we will allow ourselves to be used as instruments of the devil, and nobody else. This will lead to discord in the Church, and slows down her mission. We do not have the time to waste on this. Else we behave like emperor Nero, fiddling on his violin while Rome was burning. The churches are emptying, there are no vocations, the seminaries are empty. Priests become older and older, and young priests are scarce.”<BR/><BR/><BR/>Well we can see where the Bishop of Leeds is standing. He needs to stand with Peter or stand aside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-7175308821796005642007-10-21T10:09:00.000+01:002007-10-21T10:09:00.000+01:00Anon,Nil desperandum, + Peter Northantoniensis see...Anon,<BR/><BR/>Nil desperandum, + Peter Northantoniensis seems to be bucking the trend!

Do they think we're incapable of understanding the Pope's own stated intentions, or that we have no access to authentic interpretations of the terms of the MP? That we're ignorant of the background?<BR/><BR/>For most of my adult life I've been reliant on the SSPX. I long for that "inner reconciliation at the heart of the Church" of which the Holy Father speaks so movingly; but if, as Bishop Roche proposes, a desire to reconcile the SSPX is the sole intention of SP, then the tone and content of this message have already subverted it.Anagnostishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706938507885553293noreply@blogger.com
