SSPX Doctrinal Declaration: is it Official Policy?

[Deleted member 149]

We have been hearing from a few that the SSPX Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 is not Official Policy; and if it was, it was “withdrawn” by Bishop Fellay.

Such a statement would attribute the SSPX Doctrinal Declaration to be a political circumstance in a given time.

What is contrary from that particular thought is that the ACTUAL value of the said SSPX Doctrinal Declaration is just that: a DOCTRINAL DECLARATION. The contents manifest an explicit intention to declare Doctrine; thereby to receive agreement in the format that it was sent by delegation to conciliar Rome as a Preamble for an agreement of wills.

It needs to be understood that when one declares Doctrine, especially a Catholic Bishop, that one has their salvation on the line to merit grace if it is for Truth in honor of the True God, or to merit damnation in being an agent of the devil to deceive another, knowingly or unknowingly.

Archbishop Lefebvre had made several Doctrinal Declarations to conciliar Rome, such as his famous 1974 Doctrinal Declaration that he died with, and the old-sspx still maintains. archives.sspx.org/archbishop_lefebvre/1974_declaration_of_archbishop_lefebvre.htm

Bishop Fellay had also made his own Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 that turned the course of the sspx; and which he still maintains today.

From the onset, let there be no mistake, Bishop Fellay's new SSPX Doctrinal Declaration is alive and well, and is carrying its course.

WHEREAS,

• The 3-SSPX Bishops sent an Official letter to Bishop Fellay, the Superior General, and the General Council on April 7, 2012 not to pursue a practical deal with conciliar Rome; that was an official act. www.therecusant.com/menz-letter-to-3-bishops
• Bishop Fellay and the General Council responded with adamancy and deceit on April 14, 2012; that was an official act.
• The following day, Bishop Fellay’s SSPX Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 was secretly handed to Pope Benedict XVI as a Preamble for a deal with conciliar Rome; that was an Official act. www.therecusant.com/doctrinalpreamble-15apr2012
• That [secret] official SSPX Doctrinal Declaration was leaked to the public in [May] 2012. That was the first time the lower ranks of the SSPX priests had seen on paper the workings of Menzingen betray the old-sspx; to great scandal.
• In July 2012, the SSPX General Chapter was officially in heated discussion over that Doctrinal Declaration, per Fr. Fuchs who was there, and now with the Catholic Resistance. The General Chapter ended without condemnation of that Doctrinal Declaration; therefore in acceptance; that is an official act.
• The SSPX General Chapter wrote 6-new conditions to conciliar Rome for a practical agreement to commence; that is an official act. In a continual line with the Doctrinal Declaration.
• With a height of scandal throughout the world, Bishop Fellay said in a conference in Ireland, that he “said” to the Vatican that he “withdraws” that Doctrinal Declaration.
• A few months later, within the March 2013 CorUnum, the official bulletin of the SSPX to all of their priests throughout the world, Bishop Fellay promoted again for the SSPX member’s attention the full contents of that Doctrinal Declaration being alive and well; that is an official act.
• On June 27, 2013, the remaining 3-SSPX Bishops wrote a compromised Declaration on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the episcopal consecrations stating 12-points in continuance of course with the Doctrinal Declaration; the error is not in the council; that is an official act. www.therecusant.com/27june2013-declaration
• Bishop Fellay conducted a “kangaroo court” against Fr. Pinaud in censoring him with the Vatican II “1983 Code of Canon Law”; of which Code was in full acceptance within that Doctrinal Declaration; that is an official act (though illegal).
• Throughout 2012, 2013, and still in 2014, many SSPX priests are being expelled for calling into question the Doctrinal Declaration; that is an official act.
• Fr. Rioult wrote a book “The Impossible Reconciliation”, Documents of Operation Suicide of Bishop Fellay, with the contents demonstrating that there is a split between Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop Fellay; while showing that the Doctrinal Declaration is still in effect within the continuity of later events. Fr. Rioult’s book was refused publication and circulation by Bishop Fellay. Fr. Rioult is now in the Catholic Resistance.


FACTS:

• A Doctrinal Declaration is a testament of one’s belief and creed.
• Catholic Doctrine and Her Creed does not change, nor can be retracted.
• When one is Baptized, that doctrine and Creed remains unblemished.
• Catholic Doctrine is not private; it is public for the salvation of souls.
• When a Catholic states a Doctrinal Declaration, the one is stating a Truth that cannot be changed or disfigured.


In Bishop Fellay’s world he states:

• Bishop Fellay claims that he is of Traditional Catholic origin.
• Bishop Fellay’s intent was to send a Doctrinal Declaration: its purpose is to declare Doctrine.
• That Doctrinal Declaration took months to prepare; with full consent.
• Bishop Fellay had made that compromised Doctrinal Declaration in secret.
• Bishop Fellay officially signed it as the Superior General of the SSPX.
• Bishop Fellay officially sent it to Rome for their endorsement and signature of acceptance of an agreement.
• Bishop Fellay waited 2-months from Rome to see if it had been accepted or not.
• In face of scandal during the summer of 2012, Bishop Fellay said that he “verbally” said to the Vatican that he “withdraws” the Doctrinal Declaration he sent in.
• Bishop Fellay had never RENOUNCED the contents within his Doctrinal Declaration; therefore, the contents are in effect of his belief.

Fact:

• A Catholic Bishop, nor any baptized Catholic, can “withdraw” a Doctrinal statement; it is meaningless. Either one believed in the Doctrine stated, or one was trying to purposely deceive with false Doctrine.
• So if Bishop Fellay is sincere, then he believes what he wrote; therefore, his Doctrinal Declaration is a part of his belief.
• When one sends in official capacity a protocol of signed declaration, or agent of contract, through delegated authority, it is in consent and intention for an agreement. If the document is denied, altered, or withdrawn, it likewise needs the protocol with intent of agreement of both parties to delegate the response in a signed affidavit to endorse the change, alterations, or withdrawal. Bishop Fellay had done none of the above in return of protocol; he stated to us in a conference in Ireland that he “VERBALLY” said to the Vatican that he is “withdrawing” his Doctrinal Declaration; which of course has no weight; it is not legal; nor official; or binding. It only leaves the listener into a mis-direction designed for [Traditional] public consumption.
• Further, if some say that Bishop Fellay “retracted” his Doctrinal Declaration, as stated above, a Catholic cannot “retract” Doctrine. Either it was true when you wrote it, or it was not true. In addition, if he was to retract it, he still cannot do so, because everything in that Doctrinal Declaration was not in error. So if he “retracts” his Doctrinal Declaration, he is retracting the parts that are true also; which cannot be done.


So, what remains is that Bishop Fellay had NEVER himself stated that he renounced and repudiated, along with penance for his scandal, the contents of his Doctrinal Declaration in which he officially sent to Rome; he therefore wishes us to believe as a cover that he had “withdrawn” his Doctrinal Declaration only as a political maneuver.

Therefore, Bishop Fellay in his official capacity as the Superior General of the SSPX, lives what he believes; his Doctrinal Declaration is still official policy within the governance of the SSPX.

It is also endorsed without condemnation and encouraged by silence from the SSPX Superiors and the majority of the sspx priests.

The trail of events that support Bishop Fellay’s intent is manifest in his actions and handling of continued direction towards conciliar Rome with compromise and deceit.

To the unwise, the "Recognition of Tolerance" is the desire for human compassion. For the wise, the Faith is the desire to please God; and needs to be protected…at all costs.

Here is a conference (part 1 and 2) that breakdown the devices of Bishop Fellay and the workings of his practical deal with conciliar Rome.

I have made an important addition to the beginning of the OP to distinguish the difference and nature of Bishop Fellay's Doctrinal Declaration. I include it here in blue for content:

We have been hearing from a few that the SSPX Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 is not Official Policy; and if it was, it was “withdrawn” by Bishop Fellay.

Such a statement would attribute the SSPX Doctrinal Declaration to be a political circumstance in a given time.

In an interview on October 6, 2012 with Father Niklaus Pfluger, First Assistant General of the Society of St. Pius X, Fr. Pfluger stated once again to the unbelievers that the compromised SSPX Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 was in fact an Official, valid, and motivated piece of "common understanding" with conciliar Rome to declare and define as Doctrines of the Catholic Faith that they as SSPX superiors understood and promoted to grant acceptance and reconciliation.

Kirchliche Umschau: Just a few months ago, the Vatican seemed to be on the verge of granting canonical recognition to the Society. It seems now that all efforts were in vain. Bishop Müller, the new Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, suggested as much in several recent interviews.

Father Niklaus Pfluger: All efforts were not in vain, but an agreement in the near future is improbable [Ed. because of Pope Francis the way he is]. In both our estimation and that of the Curia, any agreement would be pointless unless we are on the same page about what the Faith really means. This common understanding was to be expressed in a “doctrinal declaration”, which we took ample time in drawing up, and in April 2012, Bishop Fellay, our Superior General, presented a preliminary, informal draft. But, to our great surprise, this text was rejected by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. So we are back to square one.

www.therecusant.com/fr-pfluger-kirch-umschau
www.dici.org/en/documents/interview-with-father-pfluger/

I will repeat, Fr. Pfluger said that the compromised SSPX Doctrinal Declaration of April 15, 2012 was a common understanding of the Catholic Faith with modernist Rome!

To wit, Fr. Pfluger said that "...we took ample time in drawing it up"! Yet the day before, April 14, 2012, Bishop Fellay, Frs. Pfluger and Nely wrote a responding scandalous letter to the three SSPX bishops, stating amongst other things, that there is no such present interest and agreement with Rome. Such is the secret nature of the Menzingen group of leaders...which continues on today.

[To see more, here is Fr. Pfeiffer's analysis of Fr. Pfluger's hypocritical interview with other bombs within it.

Here are the words of Bishop Fellay still validating and authenticating his 2012 Doctrinal Declaration as official policy when asked near three years later in February 2015, while visiting the SSPX seminary in the United States along with the visiting modernist Bishop Athanasius Schneider, from a question asked by a faithful present at the ceremonies to speak to Bishop Fellay face to face.

Q. Your Excellency, do you stand by the contents of your Doctrinal Declaration of April 2012, or do you consider that it contains anything wrong, anything which might need correcting?

Bishop Fellay:
"There is nothing wrong with my Doctrinal Declaration; I stand by what it says." cor-mariae.com/index.php?threads/the-sspxs-new-doctrine.3511/​

As shown above, in spite of Bishop Fellay saying in later 2012 within a conference both in the usa and in Ireland that he “said” to the Vatican that he “withdraws” that Doctrinal Declaration to please the listeners at the time, we know that five months later Bishop Fellay had published the same 2012 Doctrinal Declaration in its entirety within the March 2013 CorUnum, the official bulletin of the SSPX to all of their priests throughout the world, extending its promotion to the SSPX member’s attention being alive and well; that is an official public act to over 600 priests and bishops.

Doctrine cannot be "withdrawn"; it can only be proclaimed!

 

[Vincent]

Q. Your Excellency, do you stand by the contents of your Doctrinal Declaration of April 2012, or do you consider that it contains anything wrong, anything which might need correcting?

Bishop Fellay:
"There is nothing wrong with my Doctrinal Declaration; I stand by what it says." cor-mariae.com/index.php?threads/the-sspxs-new-doctrine.3511/

And yet, how many SSPX priests and faithful still tell us "He didn't mean it"; or, "Youre making that up, Bishop Fellay never signed that Doctrinal Declaration." There is a definite information vacuum within the SSPX, with its faithful and even many of its priests not knowing the full story. But its right there in black and white for those that seek the truth.

Doesn't the Bible tell us to seek truth and run after it?

For God is compassionate and merciful, and will forgive sins in the day of tribulation: and He is a protector to all that seek him in truth. Ecclesiasticus 2:13

I guess fear is at the bottom of everything. The laity has always placed its confidence in the priesthood to keep us on the road to salvation with strict adherance to the perennial, constant and unchanging faith- Sacraments/Prayer-life as we go about propagating souls for heaven. 'Feed my lambs, feed my Sheep', said our Lord. Without being led and fed by true Shepherds the flock is scattered open for the wolves to attack and kill. Priests also need Shepherding. So, in one sense, the laity and priests are scattered due to desertion of Bishops who are missing in action. It is like a family whose father has abandoned them to provide for themselves. Such a family's first reaction is to become deeply fearful. So the family flock governed now by fear provides the Enemy with a great foothold strangling growth whilst giving birth to lack of trust, lack of faith in the Church - in God. Needing security families seek out other families in their need for companionship and support.

If the father (Shepherd) is still present in the flesh but unfaithful to his wife (Catholic Church), the family remains dependent on him with the now resultant insecurity and confusion. The family/flock have nowhere else to go. They stick to what they have which is each other. This analogy applies to SSPX priests sticking to their 'father' B. Fellay; fake resistance sticking to their father 'B. Williamson'; individual parishioners grouping under an independent priest (like a big brother who takes control of the family).

SO -

What Grace is God pouring out on us right now
through this Cross?​

Well might He say:

Forget your father, leave your false Shepherds to be dealt with by Me.
Gather together in your family and pray your Rosary to your Mother of Holy Hope.

The Restoration of Israel (Is. 49:8-26) (of Mother Church)

8Thus saith the Lord: In an acceptable time I have heard thee, and in the day of salvation I have helped thee: and I have preserved thee, and given thee to be a covenant of the people, that thou mightest raise up the earth, and possess the inheritances that were destroyed:

9That thou mightest say to them that are bound: Come forth: and to them that are in darkness: Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in every plain.

10They shall not hunger, nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor the sun strike them: for he that is merciful to them, shall be their shepherd, and at the fountains of waters he shall give them drink.

11And I will make all my mountains a way, and my paths shall be exalted.

12Behold these shall come from afar, and behold these from the north and from the sea, and these from the south country.

13Give praise, O ye heavens, and rejoice, O earth, ye mountains, give praise with jubilation: because the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy on his poor ones.

14And Sion said: The Lord hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.

15Can a woman forget her infant, so as not to have pity on the son of her womb? and if she should forget, yet will not I forget thee.

16Behold, I have graven thee in my hands: thy walls are always before my eyes.

17Thy builders are come: they that destroy thee and make thee waste shall go out of thee.

18Lift up thy eyes round about, and see all these are gathered together, they are come to thee: I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt be clothed with all these se with an ornament, and as a bride thou shalt put them about thee.

19For thy deserts, and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction shall now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, end they that swallowed thee up shall be chased far away.

20The children of thy barrenness shall still say in thy ears: The place is too strait for me, make me room to dwell in.

21And thou shalt say in thy heart: Who hath begotten these? I was barren and brought not forth, led away, and captive: and who hath brought up these? I was destitute and alone: and these, where were they?

22Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and will set up my standard to the people. And they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and carry thy daughters upon their shoulders.

23And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and queens thy nurses: they shall worship thee with their face toward the earth, and they shall lick up the dust of thy feet. And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, for they shall not be confounded that wait for him.

24Shall the prey be taken from the strong? or can that which was taken by the mighty be delivered?

25For thus saith the Lord: Yea verily, even the captivity shall be taken away from the strong: and that which was taken by the mighty, shall be delivered. But I will judge those that have judged thee, and thy children I will save.

26And I will feed thy enemies with their own flesh: and they shall be made drunk with their own blood, as with new wine: and all flesh shall know, that I am the Lord that save thee, and thy Redeemer the Mighty One of Jacob.

​

Wisdom praiseth herself: her origin, her dwelling, her dignity, and her fruits. ​

[1] Wisdom shall praise her own self, and shall be honoured in God, and shall glory in the midst of her people, [2] And shall open her mouth in the churches of the most High, and shall glorify herself in the sight of his power, [3] And in the midst of her own people she shall be exalted, and shall be admired in the holy assembly. [4] And in the multitude of the elect she shall have praise, and among the blessed she shall be blessed, saying: [5] I came out of the mouth of the most High, the firstborn before all creatures:

[6] I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth, and as a cloud I covered all the earth: [7] I dwelt in the highest places, and my throne is in a pillar of a cloud. [8] I alone have compassed the circuit of heaven, and have penetrated into the bottom of the deep, and have walked in the waves of the sea, [9] And have stood in all the earth: and in every people, [10] And in every nation I have had the chief rule:

[11] And by my power I have trodden under my feet the hearts of all the high and low: and in all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord. [12] Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle, [13] And he said to me: Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thy inheritance in Israel, and take root in my elect. [14] From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him. [15] And so was I established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem.

[16] And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of my God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of saints. [17] I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree on mount Sion. [18] I was exalted like a palm tree in Cades, and as a rose plant in Jericho: [19] As a fair olive tree in the plains, and as a plane tree by the water in the streets, was I exalted. [20] I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon. and aromatical balm: I yielded a sweet odour like the best myrrh:

[21] And I perfumed my dwelling as storax, and galbanum, and onyx, and aloes, and as the frankincense not cut, and my odour is as the purest balm. [22] I have stretched out my branches as the turpentine tree, and my branches are of honour and grace. [23] As the vine I have brought forth a pleasant odour: and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches. [24] I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. [25] In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue.

[26] Come over to me, all ye that desire me, and be filled with my fruits. [27] For my spirit is sweet above honey, and my inheritance above honey and the honeycomb. [28] My memory is unto everlasting generations. [29] They that eat me, shall yet hunger: and they that drink me, shall yet thirst. [30] He that hearkeneth to me, shall not be confounded: and they that work by me, shall not sin.

[31] They that explain me shall have life everlasting. [32] All these things are the book of life, and the covenant of the most High, and the knowledge of truth. [33] Moses commanded a law in the precepts of justices, and an inheritance to the house of Jacob, and the promises to Israel. [34] He appointed to David his servant to raise up of him a most mighty king, and sitting on the throne of glory for ever. [35] Who filleth up wisdom as the Phison, and as the Tigris in the days of the new fruits.

[34] A most mighty king: Viz., Christ, who by his gospel, like an overflowing river, has enriched the earth with heavenly wisdom.

[36] Who maketh understanding to abound as the Euphrates, who multiplieth it as the Jordan in the time of harvest. [37] Who sendeth knowledge as the light, and riseth up as Gehon in the time of the vintage. [38] Who first hath perfect knowledge of her, and a weaker shall not search her out. [39] For her thoughts are more vast than the sea, and her counsels more deep than the great ocean. [40] I, wisdom, have poured out rivers.

[38] Who first hath perfect knowledge of her: Christ was the first that had perfect knowledge of heavenly wisdom.

[41] I, like a brook out of a river of a mighty water; I, like a channel of a river. and like an aqueduct, came out of paradise. [42] I said: I will water my garden of plants, and I will water abundantly the fruits of my meadow. [43] And behold my brook became a great river, and my river came near to a sea: [44] For I make doctrine to shine forth to all as the morning light, and I will declare it afar off. [45] I will penetrate to all the lower parts of the earth, and will behold all that sleep, and will enlighten all that hope in the Lord.

[46] I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and will leave it to them that seek wisdom, and will not cease to instruct their offspring even to the holy age. [47] See ye that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all that seek out the truth.
