About the Dominicans of Avrillé communiqué of Father Christian Bouchacourt July 1, 2015

Laportelatine

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 7^th [Error: This document was published on January 19^th, 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.

THIS BLOG WILL NOT COMMENT ON THIS TEXT, BUT IT WILL PUBLISH THE RESPONSE OF THE DOMINICANS.

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.

Transcript of a Sermon

Given in Chicago, Feast of the Circumcision,
1st January 2015

Bishop Tissier de Mallerais

The feast today of the octave of the nativity of Our Lord and the circumcision of Jesus Christ.
Let us hear first the epistle of St. Paul to Titus:

Beloved, the grace of God our savior has appeared to all men, instructing us, in order
that rejecting ungodliness and worldly lust, we may live temperately and justly and
piously in this world. Looking for the blessed hope and glorious coming of Our Lord,
great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Who gave Himself to us, that He might redeem us
from all iniquity and cleanse for Himself an acceptable people pursuing good works.
Thus speak and exhort in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

And the Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Luke, chapter 2:

At that time, when 8 days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, His name was
called Jesus. The name given him by the Angel before he was conceived in the womb.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.

My dear faithful, in the name of Rev. Fr. Charles Ward, our prior, and of my confreres, our priests and my own name, I wish you a happy and saintly new year. Although, the situation of [the] crisis in the Church is worsening. After the recent episcopal synod, in October 2014, in Rome. Let us, my dear faithful, let us oppose our happiness with true Faith. And our saintliness of the state of grace and of our striving towards holiness of all Christian virtues against the unhappiness and sadness of this world. Full of heresies and apostasy, the loss of the Catholic Faith. And let us also oppose our happiness, Christian happiness, against the impiety of sin of all kinds. The advocates of which are the most important of the authorities in the Church. The Church, my dear faithful, on this feast day, the first day of the year, is used to sing first of all a Miserere at the end of the past year. To express our sadness for our sins and our hope for forgiveness for the sins of past year. And to sing today, a Te Deum, at the beginning of the new year. To thank God for giving us one year more. To praise Him. To serve Him. In saintliness and justice, as St. Paul says to Titus.

And to grow into holiness. To compensate the impiety of our generation by the piety of
our Christian life. Let me, my dear faithful, let me explain to you the sadness of the crisis in
the Church and in the world. To leave you a few advice, of hope, in this new year.

So first point, the sad increase of the seriousness of the crisis in the Church today. The world and the Catholic Church, it's Herself, experience what Sr. Lucy of Fatima called a diabolical disorientation. Diabolical; from the Devil. Planned from the Devil. Planned from the Freemasonry. Years and years and centuries ago, that is satanic. A satanical disorientation that is to say that, man cannot lead himself toward the true orientation. Man is lost. First of all, in the world and secondly, in the Church Herself. First of all in the world, the disorientation in the world. For instance, the wars of the islam against Christians in Pakistan, in Iraq, in Syria and many other countries. Where Christians are killed, tortured, chased, exiled. Where churches, treasuries of liturgy and Christian culture, are destroyed. Daily. By the warriors of the so-called “islamic state”. With a complicity and the weapons of our own countries. It is horrible. And these crimes are sins that call for God's wrath. And in our own countries, not only in Iraq and Syria, in our own countries in the West, the millions of innocent children die daily. On the knives and the chemical poisons of medical torturers and executioners, what we call the sin of abortion. You understand?

These are the wide scale renewal of the murder of the Holy Innocents. There is now a sea of blood covering our countries and howling towards heaven for vengeance. For God's vengeance. That is the world of today. And now the Church of today. The last synod of the bishops in Rome has advocated the acceptation by the Church of so-called “marriages”, you know what I mean. Unions between two men or two women. That is a crime of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Old Testament in your Holy Bible. You can read it; how God punished the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah. These two towns full of sinners, of such sinners, attracted upon them and their two cities, the fire of heaven. Were put in ruins, their cities. And the ruins of which, are still existing if you visit Palestine, you will see the ruins of these towns on the amount of sulphur and toxic salts. As the visible sign of the reprobation and chastisement by God and of the proof of their shameful sins. That is a synod of Rome to advocate sodomy.

And secondly, the same synod accepted to contemplate the access to the Holy Communion of those Christians who are married, and then divorced, and “re-married”. The word re-married is wrong, because no true marriage is possible. Not at all re-married, but united by a civil union, which is only a legal concubinage. A legal concubinage. I search in my dictionary the word “concubinage”; I could not find it! It has disappeared from the dictionary. Interesting! You cannot find this word because concubinage, that is to say the horrible cohabitation of unmarried man and woman, or unmarried young man and young woman, is not more considered as a sin. As a shame. As a reprehensible behavior. Thus, speaking of concubinage today, is an uncorrect [sic] way of speaking. It ought not figure to appear in the dictionary. They suppress sin, it is simple! But we do not suppress the existence of the sin. So it is impossible to people who are still married, who divorced and then pretend to remarry. It's impossible to go to receive the Holy Communion!

They are in a state of mortal sin! I do not judge themselves, but I judge the state in which they are. They are unable, unworthy to receive the Holy Communion! The Holy Communion is a sign of our union of our soul with God! And the Holy Father, our Holy Father, Pope Francis, my dear faithful, what a shame! He did not immediately condemn such proposals of the synod, but he postponed. He delayed the decision to the following synod this year. And he said that he agreed with Cardinal Kasper the advocate of these criminal attempts again the holy virtue of chastity and against the holiness of Christian marriage.That he agreed with Cardinal Kasper! And then, our pope, poor Pope Francis, you know, that he punished the Franciscans of the Immaculate who wanted to keep back, to take back the Holy Mass of all times!And he condemned them, he removed their superior general and he forbade them to say the Traditional Mass. Only 6 priests among almost 200 priests are allowed to pray the Traditional Mass. All the others are forbidden to pray the True Mass! By order of Pope Francis. That is the situation in the Church!

First point, my advices for this new year. My resolution and my direction for you, as a bishop of the Society of St. Pius X, as the oldest member of our society. These are my direction and advices. First of all, my dear faithful, keep the Faith! Do keep the Faith. The treasury of the Catholic Faith. The faith of our fathers! The faith of the martyrs! The faith of the Catholic Rome! That Rome, which is unchangeable, unchanging Rome, the true Rome, we belong to the true Rome! Let us keep the faith of the true Rome. A faith which is unchanging. As immutable as God is immutable. In His mystery. So first of all, first point: keep the Faith!

Second point, be sure, my dear faithful, be sure there is no question of making any
compromise and compromission [sic] between the Society of St. Pius X and the occupying
powers of the church. We never will draw [the Society of] St. Pius X to the new religion. St.
Pius X would not have accepted to be reconciled with the new religion! So, be sure, there
will be no compromise, no compromission [sic] with the powers occupying the church. And
let us try to watch first on our survival in this crisis of the Church. On our survival which
may be, will be the salvation of the Church Herself! So second point, no question of
compromise.

 Third point, we will apply what Archbishop Lefebvre himself [our ... founder] wrote in
his Spiritual Journey, a book I encourage you to read. The last book he wrote before his
death, a spiritual journey, that is, as he used to say, his spiritual testament. What our
Archbishop Lefebvre wrote for us in 1990, for us, as a spiritual testament. I quote him, “It is
a strict duty for every [any] priest who wills to remain Catholic to separate off from the
conciliar church, as long as she does not recover the Tradition of the Magisterium of the
Church and of the Catholic Faith!” These are the words of our founder, I repeat. “It is a strict duty for any priest who wills to remain Catholic to separate off from the conciliar church, the so-called “conciliar church”, as long as she does not recover the Tradition of the Magisterium and of the Faith of all times!”

 Fourth point, that does not prevent the Society of the St. Pius X from meeting some prelates of conciliar bishops in order to help them to convert to Tradition. We continue to try to convert them to Tradition. By private meetings, with prelates of bishops. What are we doing today? To try to help them to convert to Tradition.

Fifth point, let us reject the false reasonings of some Catholics among our friends, false friends. Who say, I quote some of our friends, hear well, “with the time going on, because we are separated from the visible church,” they say, “we are little by little becoming a sect.” They say. “From which one never comes back to the church.” This is horrible reasoning. But they deserve to be repeated and understood! They say, our false friend, with the time going on, because we are separated from the visible church, they say, we are little by little becoming a sect from which one never comes back to the church! I suppose that you never though of it and I could not believe my ears, hearing such a reasoning! First of all, the visible church? We are the visible Church! Who practice visibly the True Faith. We have the unity of the Faith. We have the saintliness of the Sacraments and of our lives. We are Catholics because of our Faith in the Society and the true Christians are spread all out throughout the world. We are Apostolic who have still the Faith of the Apostles. We possess the full notes of the Catholic Church: Unity, Saintliness, Catholicity, Apostolicity. We are of the Church! We are in the Church! We are still in the bosom of the Church! Who are in the heart of the Church. And those who are not in this Faith of all the days of the Church, are not in the visible Church. Are visibly out of the Church. If they lose the Faith, they are visibly outside the Church! And not a question, naturally, to become a sect. We receive everybody here, all Catholics who want to attend the Holy Mass, are received with open arms! We are not a sect! We are not closed on ourselves. We have a parish of the Catholic Church. That must be clear, my dear faithful. Those who are sects are those false Christians that draw the Church into hell! And destroy the Church! These are the sects.

Sixth point, let us reject also the wrong supposition of some of our friends, bad friends, who say the Society of St. Pius X is now in an abnormal situation. Because we are not acknowledged by the church. The Society of St. Pius X must come back to a normal situation and receive a canonical status from Rome. That is wrong! That is false! We are not in an abnormal situation. The abnormal situation is in Rome! We possess the Faith, the Sacrament and the disposition to submit to the Pope. We have the Faith, the true Sacrament and the disposition of to obey the Pope! And the bishops. We are of the disposition. We are not in an abnormal situation. The abnormal situation is in Rome, now! We have not to come back! These people in Rome have to come back, to Tradition. Let us not reverse the reality. We have not to come back. But these Romans have to come back to their Tradition. To the Tradition of the Church. That is my sixth point.

And my seventh point, the last, is that the problem, my dear faithful, is not to search what we could do in Rome. What we could do in the conciliar church! No! The only question is to know what testimony we ought to give today in the church. In front of the church. Publicly in the church. What testimony we ought to give to the church. As true Catholics! As a light on the candlestick and not under the bushel of the Second Vatican Council. What is our duty? It is to bear witness! To bear witness for the Tradition of the Church! It is very simple. As true Catholic faithful. As saintly Christians who strive through their saintliness, first of all, let us continue praying our daily Rosary! The great means given by Our Lady to save our souls and the Church. Now, let us pray our daily Rosary, let us practice the 5 First Saturdays in spirit of expiation of the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Let us continue our devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Secondly, let us persevere. Keep on, in the true Catholic Faith, in the true catechisms, in the true Catholic Mass, in the true teaching of the Church, in the true Catholic schools. And thirdly, let us persevere, let us keep on striving towards saintliness. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, in the Gospel, “he who shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved!” I would say, he who shall persevere in the Faith til the end of the crisis in the Church, he will save his soul and the Church! Thanks to the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.

Tradition judges the pope

taken from Syllabus

"They say to me: 'You judge the Pope'. Archbishop Benelli reproached me saying: 'It is not you who decides what is Truth.' Of course it's not me who decides what is Truth, but neither does the Pope. The Truth is our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore we have to refer to what our Lord Jesus Christ has taught us, what the apostles have taught us, what the Fathers of the Church, and to what the whole Church has taught in order to know where the Truth is.

"It is not I who judges the Holy Father, it is Tradition.

"A five year old child with his catechism may very well respond to his bishop, if his bishop came to say: 'Our Lord is not present in the Holy Eucharist.' This 5 year old child with his catechism reads and says: 'But my catechism says otherwise'. So who is right? Is the bishop right or the catechism? Obviously the catechism is. The catechism represents the Faith of all times. It is very simple. It is a childlike reasoning. But here we are. If today they tell us to hold inter-religious gatherings with Protestants because there are no longer differences between us and Protestants, well, it's not true."

Archbishop Lefebvre, the new church, Sermons, Tomo II, 1975-1976, Editorial Iction, Buenos Aires 1983



"There is a huge difference. A 5 year-old child, opening his catechism, can very well say to the priest, or perhaps the bishop, who is teaching him something contrary to the truth taught in the catechism of all times, that child can say: 'you are not telling the truth.' And the priest or the bishop cannot reply, 'you are judging your bishop, you are judging your priest.' 'No, I am judging neither my bishop nor my priest. My catechism is judging them.'"

Archbishop Lefebvre 1976, cited in Christendom, May-June 2006, #5.
