DE ECCLESIAE CAPITE
by
Augustin Lassus
Translation in English by Priscilla Ann Jones
Many catholics believe that the surviving Church has to provide Herself with a head, whereas contrariwise some judge that She cannot even appoint Her bishops, because the Holy See is vacant. Others claim that the resisting bishops who have been ordained by Msgr Ngô-dinhThuc - now treacherously detained by false yellow brothers in America - lack the power of jurisdiction and may choose to be led by a patriarch, but cannot give a pope to the Church. Therefore it is interesting to note that Fr. Barbara has shifted his point of view on the problem as he tells us in the last (special) issue, (nr. 21) of Fortes in Fide, or in French Forts dans la Foi. The fiery-tempered priest of Algerian descent apparently understands that the solution he had previously described is but chimerical, for he now inclines to realism. However, before we try and appreciate how relevant his conclusion may be, two faults in his estimations are to be discarded, because they can only increase the confusion through which we, poor catholics - and the whole world as well - keep labouring.
Fr. Barbara actually writes (p. 28): " ... by teaching new doctrines Paul VI toppled over into heresy (...) the possibility of a pope turning heretic is thereby established". - On the contrary it is obvious that, if His Blackness was able to disguise into the vicar of Our Lord, he must have started the fraud before he sat on Peter's chair. And we know that a satanic mole's elevation unto the Holy See is null and void. This is the sole key to the mystery of iniquity, for Jesus and His Church have warranted that Peter's faith cannot fail off. Crist Himself told us so (cf. Luke XXII, 32) and the tradition of the Church has confirmed Her Founder's promise and maintained its historical achievement into a dogma (Constitution Pastor aeternus, council of Vatican 1869-1870)
Fr Barbara moreover rejects the "thesis" of the masonic plot eventually triumphantly carried out with the K.G.B.'s support. But there are historical data some of which he himself put forward a few years ago, when he studied the documents found on the corpse of "Nubius", a messenger from an Italian High "Venta". Now he tries and belittles his former demonstration by asserting that thus accounting for the invasion of the Roman fortress is " quite refreshing an elucidation: there are but outside enemies, which allows you to eschew charging your own and your friends' demeanour; the foes are crouching in the dark which makes it impossible to give their names; they are all-powerful, or almost so, which explains "the good" collapsing and excuses them from counteracting, while expecting a miracle that is to rescue them." This criticism would be relevant if we had refused to do what God has left over to his Militant Church and tempted Him by asking for a miracle instead. As for concealing the identities of moles, we may say that we did point them out to the public and, to begin with, that of rosicrucian Roncalli, the very one whom Fr. Barbara insists on not invoving in the fray. Nevertheless Roncalli started the Ostpolitik as well as every baneful official trend, traitorously and shamelessly rallying the Church to the Soviets. The K.G.B.'s pervading of the Vatican is proved by the previous betrayal of Tondi, a jesuit that spied in Montini's shadow so that the priests of the Russicum all met with untimely deaths beyond the iron curtain. Tondi, when discovered fled to the communistruled part of Germany and married an Italian Red "passionaria". He openly declared his guilt by becoming a secretary of state in Walter Ulbricht's government... He was welcomed back into Rome by his former "boss" now a shampope. It is a well-known fact that, without wasting any time, Montini reinserted the "poor widower" into the Roman clergy. Montini was succeeded by a persona grata whom the Soviets had always allowed to shuttle trough the Iron Curtain in Stalin's era. This ruling influence of the K.G.B. has been considered as proved beyond a doubt even by the Abbé de Nantes who accepts K.W. and the three other past syncretists as bad but real popes. Why does Fr. Barbara sneer away a conspiracy that is world-wide and many-headed and rules our planet? The pantheistic or pagan subversion enormously outreaches the extent of the havoc we, poor sinners have played. Our sins did lend a hand to the ramping antichrists, but the Church was empowered to wash them away from Christ's mystical Body. Never before had christian sinners caused the City of God to disappear from the face of the earth, never had they wanted their satanic foes to govern Sion. Now the Beast is adored. We must say "mea culpa" it is true, but we have not to conceal outside causes.
What makes, however, Fr. Barbara's new declaration interesting is that he eventually draws a practical conclusion from the real situation of the Church. He no longer expects the Devil's cardinals to be blinded by God's Providence and to blunder into a catholic choice. He describes legal proceedings in the Catholic Church: "Supposing our being absolutely unable to get the cardinals to vote, we must stress that, though deprived of positive, explicit canons, the Church can still extricate herself out the apparent deadlock by following the principles of ecclesiastical right. (p. 43). F.B. indeed acknowledges that "...the immediate relief to be brought to the faithful and the present times' urgent needs cannot screen off the scandalous drama which the catholic bishops would stage by accepting a situation in which they would lack the power of jurisdiction." Fr. Barbara's canonical science directly gainsays the "patriarchal" compromise which Mr. Ramirez Arandigoyen has recently devised in Argentina." A canon "F.B. argues "that cannot be enforced by any means, should not be preferred to the necessity for the Church to get a pope.(...) The theologians that have gone into the matter, all warrant that the Church may be urged into action by sheer necessity. Of course the other provisions that are still feasible (of the constitution Vacantis Apostolicae Sedis) should be duly carried out.(...) Precisely determining the ways and means of the extraordinary though indispensable election of the Supreme Pontiff would be the responsibility of the catholic clerics, and chiefly of those of the first rank."
The Utopian side of the conclusion is the existence of those bishops that are supposed to break loose from the antichristian church with which they have been composing differences. The reasoning, therefore, can only be applied presently to the apostolic lineage that stems from the archbishop of Hué - provided one does not side with the sedevacantists that strictly adhere to the letter of the Law. Indeed it is not normal that the episcopal backbone of the church should be left without its head. The Church wants being ruled by a supreme authority that cannot err, and not merely by spinal reflexes that may oppose each other despite the good will of the apostolic messengers. Saint Peter's successor may reside in New York or Tokyo or hide in te catacombs: this does not really matter. The essential is that the Latter Day Church must needs have Her head back to fight the Great Dragon that has lopped it off. Therefore we must beseech the Woman who is to crush the Serpent's head to help us get the pope we long for. She will do so, unless it is the appointed time for Her son to come in the clouds of heaven. |
