Letter from the District Superior

Cardinal Walter Kasper has just published a book on the Pope entitled Pope Francis: Revolution of Tender-ness and Love. According to him, the Supreme Pontiff

“has set many things in motion, and I think that we need this movement. For if we become stagnant, we fall asleep.” “The Pope will pursue his pro-gram,” the German prelate muses, “but what he brought to light in the [Apostolic] Exhortation The Joy of the Gospel (Evangelii Gaudium) is a programme for a whole century, that one pope cannot accomplish during his mandate. Francis’ principle is not so much to take positions as to intro-duce processes that will no longer be reversible. That is his intention.”

In the most recent issue of the journal Herder Korrespondenz Spezi-al, the German philosopher and ethicist Robert Spaemann declares that no one knows “what the Holy Father now has in mind.” Even the enthusiastic followers of Pope Francis do not really know what destination the “Bergoglio train” is heading for. “You just can’t get over the feeling of chaos,” Spaemann confides.

My dear brethren,

In these circumstances, it comes as no surprise that Cardinal Ger-hard Müller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, says in the March 29 issue of La Croix: “Pope Francis is more a pastor [than a theologian], and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has a mission to structure a pontificate theologically.” The progressive histori-an Alberto Melloni pounced on this remark; in his view, “structuring the pontificate” of Pope Francis “theologically” is nothing but “a comical out-burst of subversive paternalism” (sic). Similarly, the most flattering of the Vaticanists, Andrea Tornielli, declares that Cardinal Müller’s statement disparages the current pontificate, as though it did not possess an adequate theological structure or scope.

In contrast to this agitation, Sandro Magister states the obvious with calm and lucidity: “Everyone has been able to see that some of the best-known statements of Pope Francis in fact suffer from a lack of clari-ty.” [DICI 314]

One could also say that given the disregard for doctrine on one side, and the proposed counter-balance of the conciliar CDF on the other, the ongoing confusion in Rome can only intensify…

___________

Informal doctrinal discussions

Since the previous statement issued by Menzingen in this regard, two further meetings have taken place with two “sympathetic” bishops on the topics of Religious Liberty and Collegiality respectively. If anything, these encounters serve to emphasise the continuing opposition between traditional teaching and the conciliar errors…

_________________ Waterloo

As Britain prepares to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, a recent survey has shown that many Britons know little about the fight and associate the name with an ABBA song or a Lon-don railway station!

Page 7: SOCIETY OF ST PIUS X - sspx.co.uksspx.co.uk/newsletter_2015_15_mayjun.pdf · SOCIETY OF ST PIUS X IN GREAT BRITAIN LONDON St George’s House (Superior) Tel: 020 8946 7916 Fr P Morgan

The National Army Museum survey revealed that more than a quar-ter of the people surveyed - 28 per cent - had no idea who won the battle and 14 per cent believed the French were victorious over the British and their Prussian allies. One if five knew absolutely nothing about it.

Just over half - 53 per cent - correctly knew that the Duke of Wel-lington had led the British army against Napoleon's French forces. Partici-pants who did not know put forward the names of Francis Drake, Winston Churchill, King Arthur and even Harry Potter wizard Albus Dumbledore as the possible commander!

Young people showed a particular lack of awareness. Asked what came to mind when Waterloo was mentioned, they showed greater recog-nition of London's Waterloo Station - 54 per cent - and the song "Waterloo" by Swedish pop group ABBA - 47 per cent - more than they did about the battle.

The survey results might be something of a shock as Britain gears up to commemorate the battle fought on June 18, 1815, just outside Brus-sels in Belgium.

Generally considered one of history's great battles and described by Wellington as "a close run thing", it brought an end to the Napoleonic Wars and set the stage for an era of British domination of much of the world, for better or worse...…

Napoleon: Rise and Fall

Many evils existed in France and Europe in eighteenth century Eu-rope. They accumulated until they were like a pile of dynamite. The torch igniting the dynamite was liberalism: the belief that no authority, no re-sponsibility exists; that men owe nothing to God; that man’s mind is su-preme. These ideas were born in the Renaissance and the Protestant re-volt, grew up in the seventeenth century, and reached a full, terrible adult-hood in the eighteenth century, when they spread death and suffering throughout Europe.

In 1792, three years after the French Revolution began, the Legisla-tive Assembly in Paris declared war on Austria so as to take the people’s minds off the domestic terror and chaos. The Allied armies of Prussia and Austria were under the command of the Prussian Duke of Brunswick, who brought his army to the French border with little or no resistance. The Allies at Valmy had every advantage but Brunswick finally persuad-ed the King of Prussia, who was present at the scene, to call off the attack. The Prussians retreated and the French Revolutionary army proclaimed a great victory and marched to occupy Belgium.

Why did the Allies neglect this last good chance of overthrowing the Revolution and saving the French royal family? The full story has on-ly been recently revealed. In the treasury in Paris was an enormous dia-mond known as the Blue Diamond of the Golden Fleece. Thieves broke into the treasury and stole the diamond as well as other treasures. Suspect-ed of the theft was a certain Carra, a fervent revolutionary “Jacobin,” who appeared a few days later at the camp of the Prussian army. Much later, the Blue Diamond appeared in the Duke of Brunswick’s private collec-tion. The Duke had apparently thrown the Battle of Valmy in exchange for the diamond; and the royal family, France and all Europe would have to pay in blood for his greed.

Napoleon Bonaparte was called in to command an army in Paris to impose order under the new revolutionary power or “Convention,” as the country still faced an acute crisis: famine, bankruptcy, popular uprisings, chaos. In response it was decided that France’s only hope of salvation was war, with Napoleon in charge of one of the three armies. By 1798 France controlled Holland, Switzerland and Italy. Having imprisoned the pope, Pius VI was ominously referred to as “Pius the Last of Rome” and Napo-leon ordered that upon the pontiff’s death the election of another was to be prevented. In December 1799 the conquering hero Napoleon was estab-lished as dictator of France and the people were grateful for someone who could at least keep order. Thirty five out of forty six cardinals however met in Venice and elected a new pope, Pius VII in 1800. For the next fif-teen years Europe would witness the struggle between these two men – the former monk and the all-conquering general.

Ten years of bloodshed, terror, famine and violence had brought France to a different sort of absolute monarch. The French revolution had promised a stable government, sound finance, wise laws, peace and do-mestic order. The people had received anarchy, bankruptcy, com-munism, war and terror instead.

Although Napoleon had restored order in France he shared the revo-lutionary ideology and would proceed to spread revolutionary liberalism throughout Europe. The evils unleashed by the French revolution would plague the world to this day. Both Nazism and Communism are children of the French Revolution because both these systems are based on the principle that the government owes nothing to God and that moral principles are chains to be crushed into dust. Wherever today men and governments reject God’s authority and deny the necessity for applying morality to the social and political order, they are continuing the work of the French Revolution. Indeed, is this not the stark reality facing voters now in view of the U.K. general election on 7th May?…

The contempt for religion and lawful authority unleashed by the French Revolution had produced a man who wanted to conquer all of Eu-rope and even dreamed of conquering Asia and America. Added to this monstrous ambition were Napoleon’s genius as a military commander and his skill as a political leader. The combination was for a time unstoppable.

In 1801 a Concordat or agreement between the French government and the Vatican was concluded as Napoleon desired at least the appear-ance of reconciliation with the Church so that he could count on the full support of the French people. Pius VII recognised the French republic as the official government of France. But just the following year Napoleon placed new restrictions on the Church. Nevertheless he had himself crowned emperor by the pope in Paris in 1804 having set up a luxurious court which rivalled that of the Bourbon kings.

In 1803, and after an abortive attempt to build a colonial empire in the New World, Napoleon made hostile moves in Switzerland with the result that England declared war. The early stages of the conflict were al-most all sea battles. Napoleon was confident that if he could invade Eng-

Page 10: SOCIETY OF ST PIUS X - sspx.co.uksspx.co.uk/newsletter_2015_15_mayjun.pdf · SOCIETY OF ST PIUS X IN GREAT BRITAIN LONDON St George’s House (Superior) Tel: 020 8946 7916 Fr P Morgan

land his mastery of the world would be assured but these plans were dashed when Nelson destroyed France’s sea power at the battle of Trafal-gar off the Spanish coast in October 1805.

His army marched on however and occupied Vienna in November. Russia and Austria combined forces against Napoleon but were defeated at the Battle of Austerlitz, with France receiving still more Austrian terri-tory whilst bringing most of the German territory of the Holy Roman Em-pire under French domination. Disturbed by Napoleon’s encroachments into Germany Prussia declared war against France in 1806, but was beaten and Berlin was captured and Prussia was incorporated into the French Empire. The old Prussian general Blücher swore revenge and eventually Napoleon would pay dearly for his victories.

Meanwhile back in France, Napoleon founded the University of France to control education throughout France. He had two great goals in this: to weaken the Church’s influence and to indoctrinate children so that they would accept the Revolution and Napoleon’s influence.

In 1809 Napoleon annexed the Papal States and imprisoned the pope. By now Napoleon and his grand army towered above Europe, hav-ing annihilated the armies of Russia, Austria and Prussia, and having oc-cupied Portugal and brought all of Europe east of the Iberian Peninsula into submission. But it was in Portugal and Spain that the French and English armies met with Sir Arthur Wellesley in command of the British force. His defensive strategy brought victory over the French at Talvera in northwest Spain which earned him a peerage and hence became Viscount Wellington of Talvera.

It was only when Napoleon had withdrawn a large number of troops from Spain in 1812 in preparation for his abortive campaign in Russia that Wellington was able to win decisive victories against the French in Sala-manca and then in Vitoria the following year, thereby liberating most of Spain.

Out of the more than 500,000 men of the Grand Army who had marched into Russia only a handful survived the harsh winter of 1812, and 10

Page 11: SOCIETY OF ST PIUS X - sspx.co.uksspx.co.uk/newsletter_2015_15_mayjun.pdf · SOCIETY OF ST PIUS X IN GREAT BRITAIN LONDON St George’s House (Superior) Tel: 020 8946 7916 Fr P Morgan

finally, in October 1813, the combined Austrian, Russian and Prussian armies defeated Napoleon’s new but untrained army at Leipzig. At the same time Wellington marched into southern France. Paris was captured by the Allies in March 1814 and the following month Napoleon abdicated. The allies gave him the island of Elba near Corsica. In May Pope Pius VII returned from his captivity to Rome. As Napoleon had declared previous-ly, “There are only two powers on earth, the sword and the spirit…In the long run the sword is always beaten by the spirit.”

On February 26th 1815, however, Napoleon and some 1,500 men set sail for France; those sent to arrest him went over to his side and thus he entered triumphantly into Paris. Thus did Napoleon begin the rule known as the Hundred Days. The Allies’ Congress of Vienna was now transformed from a peace conference to a council of war with Wellington assuming overall command upon his arrival in Brussels in April 1815.

Soon after Napoleon had re-entered Paris the courageous Catholics in the Vendée rose up again “for Church and for Crown” and so he had to send 10,000 troops to put down the rebellion. Their absence would make all the difference on June 18th when in battle against Wellington and Blü-cher at Waterloo.

The battle

The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday, 18 June 1815 near Waterloo in present-day Belgium, then part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. An Imperial French army under the command of Emperor Napoleon faced the armies of the Seventh Coalition, comprising an Anglo-Allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington combined with a Prussian army under the command of Gebhard von Blücher. It was the culminating battle of the Waterloo Campaign and Napoleon’s last.

Upon Napoleon’s return to power in 1815, many states that had op-posed him formed the Seventh Coalition and began to mobilize armies. The two large forces under Wellington and Blücher assembled close to the north-eastern border of France. Napoleon chose to attack in the hope of destroying them before they could join in a coordinated invasion of

France with other members of the coalition. The decisive engagement of this three-day Waterloo Campaign (16–19 June 1815) occurred at the Bat-tle of Waterloo. According to Wellington, the battle was “the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life.”

Napoleon, Wellington and Blücher

Napoleon delayed giving battle until noon on 18 June to allow the ground to dry. Wellington’s army, positioned across the Brussels road on the Mont-Saint-Jean escarpment, withstood repeated attacks by the French, until, in the evening, the Prussians arrived in force and broke through Na-poleon’s right flank. At that moment, Wellington’s Anglo-Allied army counter-attacked and drove the French army in disorder from the field. Pursuing coalition forces entered France and restored King Louis XVIII to the French throne. Napoleon abdicated, surrendered to the British, and was exiled to the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic, which was to be guarded day and night by British warships until his death in 1821.

FOR OTHER NEWS

New superiors

I am now able to announce the names of the new Society superiors for both Great Britain and Ireland, effective as of 15th August 2015. In both cases I am very happy with the appointments made by Bishop Fellay.

Ireland will resort to being a separate entity, or “Autonomous House”, with Father Vincente Griego, of U.S. nationality, as the new su-perior. At present Father Griego is Rector of our seminary in Australia, and previous to this he was in charge of the Society’s school, college and extensive community in Saint Mary’s, Kansas. On a personal level we know each other well from our time spent together in the Philippines back in the 1990’s.

As for Great Britain and Scandinavia the new superior will be Fa-ther Robert Brucciani, who is already well known to many of you, and who is well suited for the task, not least given his administrative skills as well as the experience he gained during the years spent in charge of our challenging mission in India.

These appointments will allow me to take my requested sabbatical year in France with peace of mind, confident in the new superiors’ capa-bilities and suitability for their respective posts. Deo gratias!

Fr MacDonald’s departure

On a sadder note, I regret to announce the departure of Father Ed-ward MacDonald from the District just after Easter following his decision to undertake an independent apostolate in Australia. Children’s summer camps

Exceptionally there will not be the usual children summer camps this year due to a special project which, if all goes according to plan, will require all the school’s time and resources during the summer break. I hope to be able to say more about this in the next newsletter but mean-while may I confide this intention to St Joseph and to your prayers. Richard III Mass

Mass in Saint Anne’s Chapel in Leicester was offered publicly by Father Francis Ockerse on the Feast of the Annunciation for the repose of the soul of King Richard III. The mortal remains of the last Plantagenet king, who died at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, were buried in Leices-ter’s Anglican cathedral several days later!

Ronald Warwick RIP

Mr Ronald Warwick, who had been suffering from cancer, passed into eternity, on 21st April, with his devoted wife Celia and family mem-bers by the bedside, having been fortified by the rites of Holy Mother Church. Ronald was a true Catholic English gentleman and a staunch sup-porter of Archbishop Lefebvre and the Society of St Pius X from its very inception. He will be remembered by many for his many good works, not least his literary writings, his liturgical expertise and his selfless dedica-tion to the work of Catholic education at Saint Michael’s School Burgh-clere, as well as by the individuals he tutored until sickness overtook him. Whilst awaiting publication of his obituary in a forthcoming Mater Dei magazine, the following words written by Ronald at the end of his book “The Living Flame,” assume a particular significance:

“The future is necessarily unpredictable. We live in a world of not arriving but of travelling hopefully. The symbol of that hope is the life-giving Cross – ‘O Crux, ave, spes unica’ – and we Catholics believe that 14

whatever the future holds in store for us is the will of our Crucified Sav-iour.”

Ronald’s body will be received at St Michael’s School Chapel at 5pm on Thursday 30th April, with a Requiem Mass celebrated there at 7pm by the District Superior. The funeral Mass will take place at 12 noon on Friday 1st May followed by the burial.

Confirmations

At the time of writing some fifty-four candidates have received the sacrament of Confirmation from the hands of Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta in Burghclere and London. Most of these were administered on Saturday 25th April with Saint Michael’s School gymnasium having been trans-formed into a chapel for the occasion. The Pontifical High Mass at the Faldstool there was attended by more than two hundred faithful from dif-ferent parts of the country and from abroad.

NB. Please note the change of venue and time for the Confirmations in Scotland, which are now scheduled for Edinburgh at 1:00pm.

With every good wish and blessing,

Father Paul Morgan Superior

Third Order Newsletter

Helps to Holiness ...continued

1. Remember Our Lord’s Body, the Church, is still undergoing the

Passion and He expects you to compassionate with Him thus suffer-ing.

2. It is a sign that the devil is hard up for occasion when he tries to make our good desires and aspirations matter for temptation.

3. Aim at getting your strength direct from your Beloved, who wants your whole love and confidence.

4. Model yourself on Our Lord’s Hidden Life, which yours will al-ways resemble. As you can’t do great things, do little things great-ly.

5. “Though He should kill me, yet will I trust in Him:” that is your spirit and even if He remains hidden, restraining Himself now “for fuller gain of after-bliss,” you must love Him all the more faithfully.

6. Try to see God more and more in everything, for He is there, in per-sons, in things and in events. Don’t let Him hide Himself from your incessant and loving search. It is immensely profitable to yourself and immensely delightful for Him. He finds so little faith upon earth.

7. God loves us, not so much for what we are, but for what we are meant to become.

8. Let Him have all he wants from you. You will find it pleasanter in the long run and infinitely more profitable than holding anything back. With your good will and desire to please Him, He will lead you far and high.

9. You must not be afraid of the process of sanctification. God does not ask more of us than we can give, or rather, He will always make us able to give what He asks though the help may not come before it is actually wanted.

The Baptism of Linda Mary Magdalen BELL at Ss. Joseph & Padarn, London, 4th April 2015

——ooo000ooo——

Since Israel refused the true Messiah, it would give itself another messianism that is temporal and earthbound, dominating the world by money, Freemasonry, Revolution, and social democracy. We must not, however, forget that those Jews who were disciples of the true Messiah founded the true Israel, the spiritual Kingdom, which prepares the heav-enly Kingdom. The worldwide designs of the Jews are being brought about in our time, but they started with the foundation of Masonry and the Revolution which has decapitated the Church and set up worldwide so-cialist democracy.

[Archbishop Lefebvre, I Have Handed on What I Received, pg. 603]

St. Theresa of Avila

This year marks the 5th Centenary of her birth.

“Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's, if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their mo-tives”. “Those who give themselves to prayer should in a special manner have always a de-votion to St. Joseph; for I know not how any man can think of the Queen of the angels, during the time that she suffered so much with the Infant Jesus, without giving thanks to St. Joseph for the services he rendered them then”. “A beginner must look on himself as one setting out to make a gar-den for his Lord's pleasure, on most unfruitful soil which abounds in weeds. His Majesty roots up the weeds and will put in good plants in-stead. Let us reckon that this is already done when the soul decides to practice prayer and has begun to do so”. “Let nothing disturb thee, nothing affright thee; all things are pass-ing; God never changeth.” “What a great favour God does to those He places in the company of good people!”

[St. Theresa of Avila]

Newsletter for the Archconfraternity of St. Stephen

Servers’ Corner

I have heard Confirmation as being playfully described in the modern Church as the “leaving certificate for Catholic adoles-cents,” meaning that, after the obligatory in-struction and preparation, it spells the end of a practical Catholic life! Obviously it should be the exact opposite being the sacrament by which we receive the Holy Ghost in order to make us strong and perfect Christians and soldiers of Jesus Christ…

Practical directives for the ceremony of Confirmation (Fortescue 1962)

Each person to be confirmed should have a card on which are writ-ten his name and the name he will take in Confirmation. A godfather is required for men and a godmother for women. Only one sponsor, who must himself be already confirmed, is to stand for each person confirmed unless the minister decide otherwise for a just cause. The godparent may be represented by a proxy if unable to attend in per-son. The sponsor contracts a spiritual relationship with confirmed person and is obliged to take a special and perpetual interest in the welfare of his godchild and see to it that he or she receives a Catholic education. (Canon Law 797) After having addressed the candidates, who kneeling are at the front

“I think he means us!”

of the church, at the start of the ceremony, the bishop, dressed in white stole and cope, a cloth of gold mitre, recites the prayers in the Pontificale. He he stretches his hands over the candidates during the prayer Omnipo-tens sempiterne Deus. Each candidate then comes forward, men and boys before the wom-en and girls, genuflects and kneels before the bishop on the appropriate altar step. The godparent then places his right hand on the candidate’s right shoulder. The candidate hands his card to the priest on the bishop’s right who says the Confirmation name to the bishop. The bishop, holding the crozier in his left hand, anoints the candi-date’s forehead with the Holy Chrism whilst laying his hand on the per-son’s head, and says the form of Confirmation:

“I sign thee with the sign of the cross, and I confirm thee with the chrism of salvation” and then gives the triple blessing “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

The candidate however SHOULD NOT BLESS HIMSELF so as not to touch the holy oil upon his forehead, but does make the response, “Amen.” The bishop then lightly strikes the candidate on the left cheek saying “Pax tecum.” Then the candidate rises and then goes to stand before the priest on the Bishop’s right who wipes away the Chrism with a ball of cot-ton wool. Following this the confirmed person genuflects to the altar and returns to his place. Following the washing of hands the bishop then continues the pray-ers and blesses those confirmed (confirmati). He then usually asks them to recite the Creed, the Our Father and the Hail Mary whilst standing. No one who has been confirmed may leave the church till the bishop has given the blessing at the end so as to prevent any doubt as to the integ-rity of the sacrament.
