FR. BOUCHACOURT TREMBLES IN THE FACE OF A STRONG
ADVANCE OF THE RESISTANCE IN FRANCE.
With 20
French priests in the resistance, with the prestigious Dominicans of Avrillé on
the front line of combat, and with Bishop Faure, the new French bishop; the
RAILLIÉS, the TRAITORS the ACCORDISTAS, are encountering serious difficulties
in their advance on French soil.
DEO GRATIAS!
About the
Dominicans of Avrillé communiqué of Father Christian Bouchacourt July 1, 2015
1. For more
than a year, the Dominican Fathers of the Avrillé Convent have propagated and
maintained distrust of the authorities of the SSPX, especially regarding Bishop
Fellay and the General House. Through
conferences, in publications and on their website, they accuse the superiors of
the SSPX of abandoning the good fight for the faith in order to lead the
Society to an agreement, at all costs, with the Roman authorities. We have tried, in vain, in various meetings,
to prove otherwise and show them how their attitude threatens the unity of
Tradition, sowing doubt and division. This communiqué seeks to restore the
truth in order to defend the honor of our superiors and our priestly family.
2. The
well-known facts of this increasingly open opposition are the following:
-On Sunday
January 19th, 2014, the Dominican Fathers distributed to those who attended Mass
in the Convent of Avrillé, 1 "Appeal to the Faithful", a text that was made public on the previous January
7th [Error: This document was
published on January 19th, 2014. Non Possumus], and accused the
General House of Menzingen of taking "the opposite direction" of that which was carried out by Archbishop Lefebvre "by aligning themselves modernist
Rome" and "pertinacity in this direction which leads to death"; the
priests of Avrillé are among the signatories of this text;
-That same
day, Father Pierre-Marie gave a conference to the faithful who had gone to Avrillé and his goal was to explain and justify this "Appeal to the Faithful"
and how well founded it was;
-The text
of the "Appeal to the Faithful", accompanied by a significant
introduction, was published in Le Sel de la Terre n ° 88 (spring 2014) pp.
138-139;
-The
confidential correspondence of Bishop Fellay, which was exchanged after the
publication of the "Appeal to the Faithful," was published in Le Sel
de la Terre n ° 89 (Summer 2014), pp. 215-220.
-The
Dominican Fathers took position in favor of the consecration of Bishop Faure on
March 19, 2015, and published a lengthy account justifying this act in Le Sel
de la Terre No. 92 (Spring 2015), pp. 139-169.
3. Just
like all the signatories of the "Letter to the Faithful," the
Dominican Fathers of Avrillé decided that they must present “not a statement breaking with the SSPX but on
the contrary, a public testimony of their firm and faithful commitment to the
principles that always guided Archbishop Lefebvre in the combat for the faith”.
But in this way they are in a complete
illusion and take with them all those who follow them. For this fight for the faith, Archbishop Lefebvre
always carried it out not only in the doctrinal fidelity to tradition, but also
in order, in unity and peace, and in the spirit of obedience. The Avrillé priests are not faithful to these
principles, since they denigrate the authority of the successor of Archbishop
Lefebvre and cast suspicion on the acts of his governing, in order to create dialectic
between the members of the Society and their superiors, even by opposing the
priests among them. To be able to break
away [Note from translator: the term used “desligarse” means to detach or separate
oneself from something completely. The etymology is
related to the word religion being its opposite according to Cicero religare. To Realign-reattach oneself with God.] from an authority, it
is necessary that this authority is actually moving one to sin against the
faith or morals. The Dominicans of Avrillé are unable to demonstrate which acts
carried out by the Superior General manifest that "Menzingen is betraying
the combat for the Faith". It is not the General House which is betraying
the combat for the Faith; it is those who call themselves "the
resistance" that are the ones that weaken it by their subversive
maneuvers.
4. The
consecration of a bishop by Bishop Williamson is not justified in any way. Whatever the bad pretexts may be by which
they try to make it plausible, it does nothing more than aggravate this spirit
of independence and division. Archbishop
Lefebvre always expressed himself clearly in order to warn against such a state
of mind. "It is the Superior General",
he said during a meeting in Ecône on July 4th, 1988, "who maintains ties with Rome and, in a word, takes responsibility for Tradition; it is the structure of the
Society that exists in the eyes of the Church. We never wanted an organization of Tradition
or a presidency of this association; but
it is a fact that the Society is the backbone of Tradition, its providential
instrument, upon which all the initiatives of Tradition should support
themselves". In supporting
the episcopal consecration of Bishop Faure, the Dominican Fathers of Avrillé
make themselves accomplices of a disastrous work and cause serious harm to the
common good of Tradition, even more so being that the only reason given to
justify this act rests upon the accusation, without proof, that the SSPX has
abandoned the combat for the faith.
5. Obviously,
no Superior, responsible before God for the good of his district, can remain
without reacting to these repeated positions and stances. We cannot permit that mistrust, division, the
political party spirit, and denigration are installed in our ranks. It is about the common good of the flock; and
the first duty of a pastor is to preserve its unity and cohesion, putting it
out of the reach of these troublemakers.
6.
Consequently, in the presence of so many lying accusations, the District of
France cannot support the community of the Dominicans of Avrillé who, because
of their subversive maneuvers, are sowing doubt and division in the ranks of
Tradition and weakening its strength.
This
situation is very unfortunate. May the
Holy Spirit enlighten the superior of the community of the Dominicans of
Avrillé and that Our Lord and Our Lady keep us in the unity of truth and charity,
faithful to the good fight of Archbishop Lefebvre, for the honor of Christ the
King, of the Holy Church and the good of our souls.

SSPX.

ADDENDUM:
Liberals support Fr. Bouchacourt, of course...
“This statement of Fr. Bouchacourt is very good
and very timely. Be wary of the people
who are hardened. I gladly say to the young people: "A bridge too hard
breaks under the effect of vibrations". Fr. Aulagnier
“The
Dominicans of Avrillé constitute a "hardened" community in the traditional
Catholic world, and it has been this way for several years. For this reason, Father Bouchacourt, District
Superior of SSPX France issued a communiqué. In addition to the systematic and violent questioning
of Rome, the Dominicans of Avrillé wage a merciless war on the SSPX, which they
uncompromisingly denounce. We know that the
Dominicans of Avrillé did not hesitate to attack any approaching of Rome by the
SSPX, even by reproducing confidential correspondence. This reproach of freely publishing texts,
without the consent of those concerned, is nothing new. A few years ago, they
published letters in their magazine from Fr. Berto ...
“But it is
above all that deep down the Dominicans of Avrillé have truly grown reluctance.
The bitterness in recurrent publications of Avrillé ended up creating a malaise
that has not stopped growing in the publications close to the SSPX. Priests and faithful have been at a distance
from a community that seems locked in a purely ideological struggle. The
discomfort had been felt, but no one dared to talk about it in order to not
undermine the unity around the SSPX... However, the violent crisis of 2012, the
attacks on Bishop Fellay, the departure of certain priests to the
"resistance", then the consecration of Bishop Faure created a new
situation where the tongues were no longer restrained. The Dominicans of
Avrillé broke ties with Menzingen since the beginning of 2014. These
hardliners, being hereinafter out of the SSPX, allow us to expose the errors of
these groups, of which one wonders if they will not end in schism or a sect ...
On the contrary, we feel reassured by the cautious tone and rejection of vain
polemics by those responsible for the SSPX. Deo Gratias!” Riposte Catholique.
