Without bishops there are no priests. Without priests there is no Mass, Eucharist, or Confession. Without the Mass, Eucharist, and Confession, it is difficult to save one’s soul.
Therefore, the creation of new bishops is ultimately for the salvation of souls.
But conciliar Rome requires every bishop to fully accept Vatican II and the New Mass, that is to accept their errors (religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality, aggiornomento, etc.). But it violates the law of non-contradiction to both hold there is an error to be resisted, and also that we can accept that error to be approved. It is a sin against truth.
And so the SSPX and Traddom finds itself now in another conundrum. With fully traditional, uncompromised bishops , the traditional priesthood, sacraments, and doctrine can be handed down. Yet those bishops cannot accept error.
We have learned that the SSPX will concentrate more bishops this July. July 1st is the proposed date. The two remaining SSPX bishops are too aged and tired to carry on by themselves the SSPX’s global apostolate of providing simply auxiliary bishops to ordain and confirm. These are not bishops with ordinary jurisdiction nor who act as a diocesan bishop.
If Leo is as they say he is, diplomatic and pastoral, then why will he not have an audience with the Superior General as requested to discuss this very critical need? Why has the Vatican also failed to respond to two official requests from the SSPX asking for bishops?
The SSPX clearly is not trying to establish a parallel church, or a schism. Just as it was not in 1988. It finds itself in a grave crisis, a state of emergency, and a state of necessity. It can not continue its work without bishops, but it cannot lie by falsely accepting as true what it knows to be false.
Therefore, logically either the SSPX consecrates more auxiliary bishops for Operation Survival 2.0 becoming re-stigmatized as schismatic, or Leo gives them permission to consecrate. If he truly wants to avoid even the appearance of schism.
But I suspect the modernists will pressure him to say no, unless they sign those certain documents about the Council and liturgical reform, that is certain parts which are false. After how Leo is now clearly neglecting the traditionalists, and signed his name to that document on Mary, I predict he says No. That it will be 1988 all over again.
At any rate, it will be a glory to God to have more traditional, uncompromised bishops. And it will be interesting to find out who it will be. Something to look forward to in July.
May the saintly Archbishop Lefebvre, pray for the Church.
