Then John Paul II, above all others, brought home Paul’s message that Judaism and Jews have a unique place in salvation history. The Ecumenical Council wrought a fundamental change. “The Church’s deep commitment to reconciliation with the Jewish People is personified today by Benedict XVI. Here is the key section of the interview. Pius X can also be summarized in Pius XI’s loving prayer for the conversion of the Jews contained in the Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which Pius wished to be recited in every Catholic Church on the Feast of Christ the King: “Turn Thine eyes of mercy towards the children of that race, once Thy chosen people: of old they called down upon themselves the Blood of the Savior may It now descend upon them, a laver of redemption and of life.”Īrchbishop Di Noia then grants us a great favor He openly admits something we have long surmised: that the purpose of the Vatican’s discussions with the SSPX, and its work for so-called “regularization,” is to convert the SSPX to Conciliar thinking. This should not be a difficult concept for a Catholic. Those who are still members of non-Catholic societies, such as Judaism or Protestantism, can only be saved by leaving their false positions and joining the one true Church that Christ established. The SSPX position is what the Church has always taught: the Old Covenant is superseded and made obsolete by the New. There is no salvation outside the Church. The SSPX position is nothing more than the traditional teaching of the Catholic Church throughout the ages, that all non-Catholics, Jews included, must convert to the Catholic Church for salvation. ”Īfter three years the Vatican still does not understand what is the SSPX’s position on these points? This should be no great mystery. He says, “After three years of dialogue we still need to understand what the SSPX position is on the Jewish Community and Judaism. ![]() Though the interview deserves a much fuller treatment, we will spotlight for now Archbishop Di Noia’s remarkable comments about the Society of St. Vatican Insider posted a July 2 interview with Joseph Augustine Di Noia, newly-appointed Vice-Prefect of the Vatican’s Ecclesia Dei. It is clear the same ruse is being applied to the Society of St. In 1946, Father Garrigou-Lagrange warned in his landmark article against the modernist New Theology, “Those who have attempted to attend the classes of the masters of modernist thought in order to convert them have allowed themselves to be converted by them.” – Archbishop Joseph Augustine Di Noia, newly-appointed Vice-Prefect of the Vatican’s Ecclesia Dei Convincing them will take time, and in this respect we will have to be patient.” “This is a new concept which we know the Traditionalists will not be able to accept immediately. We see, in the letter of Cardinal Mueller of May 2017, that this is still the case some 11 years later. When I inquired into the details of the conversation that the bishop had with Benedict, Bishop Fellay mentioned that, in the course of his conversation with Benedict, Benedict stated that, "Well, of course, when you come in, you will have to teach the new thinkers in your seminaries. ![]() This was less than a year after Josef Ratzinger/Benedict XVI claimed the papacy in April of 2005. The truth of John's thesis, discussed in the article below, was confirmed to me by Bishop Fellay when I met him in February 2006 in Denver, Colorado. In private, of course, the topic was discussed quite often. One concrete bit of empirical evidence for this is that he never, to my knowledge, mentioned the SSPX Resistance in the pages of Catholic Family News or in any of his lectures. ![]() This was the case, even though I never heard John speak publicly about the SSPX Resistance, which I know he did not support. Gruner, that even though he was a consistent supporter of the SSPX until his death, he was vehemently against any agreement between the SSPX and the Vatican in the current circumstances here he differed from his good friend Chris Ferrara who has always been, to my knowledge, in favor of an agreement between SSPX and the Vatican - believing, as he does, that the texts of Vatican II should pose no obstacles. This article confirms what I long knew about John from innumerable conversations with him, the ones that come to mind are those which took place in Rome and those we had by phone immediately after the death of Fr. Here is an article that John Vennari published in 2013 concerning his reflections on the negotiations between the SSPX and the Vatican.
