Rorate Caeli

Open letter to Bishop Fellay


Your Excellency, dear Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X,

No, dear Monseigneur, this is not another one of those letters that create expectations - how could I, in this humble blog? No, this is to tell you in writing (which is at times easier...) what I would like to tell you in person: that for so many years, even before being received into the Church, I have prayed for you daily, for your Priestly Fraternity, for its welfare under the guidance of the Holy Ghost.

This is also to thank you for what the Society has accomplished, for the great care and attention, for the charity displayed, for the graces dispensed by your Priests. This is to acknowledge your simplicity and care for those, priests, seminarians, and faithful, under your watch.

Such things are well known by good souls in Rome, but many Catholic faithful around the world ignore them. But how could I, or any Traditional Catholic, ignore them, as a matter of justice? Justice is the key word; justice demands reparation; sooner or later, there must be justice - "justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost" (Romans xiv, 17).

Most sincerely, and with renewed wishes of a joyful Eastertide, under the protection of the Queen of Heaven.
