 Common Mission
and “Significant Silence”

Pope Benedict’s latest statements on Jews and Conversion

By John Vennari

    “Church Should Not Pursue Conversion of Jews, Pope Says”. This was the headline of a recent National Catholic Reporter story on the Pope’s new book, Jesus of Nazareth Part II: Holy Week. [1]
   The Pope’s latest tome, which is the sequel to his earlier work
Jesus of Nazareth Part I, has been hailed by the Vatican’s Cardinal Marc Ouellet as “an extraordinarily ecumenical book” [2] This is not surprising, as Pope Benedict is primarily an ecumenical theologian whose thought regarding members of non-Catholic religions is structured according to the new orientation of Vatican II.  - click here

Bishop Fellay on
“Forty Years of Fidelity”

From the 40th Anniversary Conference
of the Society of St. Pius
X
By John Vennari

“There is a practice in Rome by which they deal with the Society of St. Pius X as being totally and completely Catholic,” and not schismatic. The practice refers to the Vatican’s recognition of SSPX priests, and recognition of SSPX confessions as valid.
           This was part of the message given by Bishop Bernard Fellay, Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X, during the recent SSPX Forum. click here for article


  No Continuity

The Ecumenical Corruption of the “Chair of Unity” Octave

From January 18 to January 25, 2011, we will witness in Rome the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The new approach to this Week of Prayer constitutes a rupture with the consistent teaching of the Church, and a rupture with the original purpose of the event’s institution. When we compare the post-Vatican II method of celebrating this week with the original pre-Vatican II manner, we see discontinuity, not continuity... click here

The Oath Against
Modernism Betrayed

by John Vennari

September 1, 2010, marks the 100th anniversary of Pope
St. Pius X’s promulgation of the Oath Against Modernism
...
The spirit of infidelity to traditional Catholic doctrine, the lust towards change and novelty that Pius X’s anti-Modernist measures condemned, and the violation of a Sacred Oath against God by highly-placed Churchmen, is the true legacy of the Second Vatican Council and its consequence reforms.

Vietnam Government
Blows Up Crucifix

Parish Under Siege — Catholics Persecuted

Catholic victim of

Vietnam persecution

On January 6 Vietnamese officials dynamited a crucifix in a cemetery belonging to the Dong Chiem Parish Church, 40 miles from Hanoi. Parishioners who tried to prevent the destruction were beaten by police. Since then, Catholic priests and faithful have been assaulted by uniformed and plainclothes police, and Catholics who try to visit the parish are harassed and beaten; one journalist pummeled to unconsciousness. The latest outrage is a February 24 attack on a group of nuns visiting various parishes in the area... click here.

Modern Ecumenism
Condemned by Sacred Scripture

by Bishop George Hay

Bishop Hay demonstrates that Sacred Scripture absolutely and infallibly forbids all religious intermingling between Catholics and those of false religions. Indeed, Bishop Hay here sounds the death knell for modern ecumenism, since ecumenism, as well as the Charismatic Movement, are squarely based on interfaith principles solemnly condemned by Sacred Scripture -- a condemnation that no authority in the Church can overrule.

“Holy” Green
Unholy Insanity

Religious Leaders Hoodwinked
into Global Warming Hysteria

By John Vennari

England's Prince Philip, once-president of the World Wildlife Fund, said that when he dies, he wishes to return as a killer virus to "lower human population levels". This same Prince Philip explained in 1990 that it was a major goal of the anti-life ecology movment to get religious leaders involoved, so as to give enviromnentalism a "spiritual imperative". In this, the Green Movement has succeeded. Our Church leaders are now dancing to the tune of today's pro-abortion environmentalism.
 


The Second Vatican Council and the Rejection of the Social Reign of Our Lord

By Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre

I answered, "Is it possible to accept the Council, while in the name of the Council you say that all the Catholic States must be destroyed, that there must be no Catholic States left, and thus no more States where our Lord Jesus Christ reigns...?"


  

On the Doctrinal
Discussions with Rome

From Father Paul Morgan, District Superior
of the Society of St. Pius X in Great Britain

    With the talks with Rome set to commence shortly, it is quite possible that regardless of the crucial doctrinal issues, the Vatican will offer the Society of St Pius X a practical settlement. Such indeed was the case following the lifting of the putative excommunications in January of this year, and which, thankfully, Bishop Fellay rejected.

"Climate Change" Gestapo!

Clean Energy and Security Act brings auditors into your home

H.R. 2454 is a 1400-page promise to audit every aspect of your home and life under the guise of creating jobs, clean energy and a sustainable world.... The bill states every home owner will receive an energy audit. What is a home energy audit? It is an intrusive visit made by the bureaucrats at the Home Energy Team or a similar group.  They will examine and report the way you live your life directly to RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network) . Light fixtures, socket types, spas, hot tubs, windows, appliances, walls and roofs will all be under review. Energy tests will be conducted throughout your house. At the end of the visit you will receive a report and a rating. The report will focus on the changes you need to make and the rating is called a HERS rating (Home Energy Rating System)....  click here!

Rome-SSPX: Background
to the Doctrinal Discussions

By John Vennari

          Both Bishop Bernard Fellay, Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X, and Bishop Tissier de Mallerais, SSPX, stated that next on the program is doctrinal discussion regarding Vatican II and the crisis in the Church. There are some historic facts often buried that should be brought back to the surface, so as to understand the form these doctrinal discussions may take.


Archbishop Lefebvre
and Vatican II

The Council in light of Tradition?

           Now that the “excommunications” have been withdrawn from the four SSPX bishops, it is wise to restate the position of the SSPX regarding the Second Vatican Council.

Ecumenism: Time
to Stop the Insanity

By Edwin Faust

"Now, I am going to argue that ecumenism draws us away from God; that it is a godless activity; that ecumenism is sin. One might counter this assertion by saying that the catalogue of deadly sins contains no mention of ecumenism; that moral theologians do not treat of the matter in their manuals. I say they do. And that in the catalogue of deadly sins, ecumenism comes under the heading of sloth. "
