Dante e Mohamed: Castigo de heresia, com prosa seguida por língua moderna Canto XXVIII

CANTO XXVIII

No nono compartimento os Poetas encontram os semeadores de cismas e escândalos civis e religiosas.  Dante vê Maomé, que o encarrega de uma embaixada para o herege rei Dolcino; fala também com outros danados.









DIZER o sangue e as chagas espantosas,
Que eu vi neste lugar, quem poderia,
3 Em livre prosa e em vezes numerosas?

Nenhuma língua, certo, bastaria;
Fraca a palavra, inábil nossa mente
6 Para horror tanto compreender seria.

Quando junta estivesse toda gente,
Que lá da Apúlia na infelice terra,
9 Perdera o sangue seu na luta ingente

Dos romanos por mãos; e em crua guerra
A que tantos de anéis deixou vencida,
12 Como refere Lívio, que não erra;

E a que fora por golpes abatida,
Quando a Roberto Guiscardo resistia;
15 E a que tem sua ossada inda espargida

De Ceperan no campo, onde traía
Cada Apulhês; e que no Tagliacozzo
18 O Velho Alard sem combater vencia:

Das feridas o aspecto lastimoso
Não fora, qual no fosso nono imundo
21 Apresentava o bando criminoso.

Qual tonel, que aduelas perde ao fundo,
Estava um pecador, que roto eu via
24 Das fauces ao lugar que é menos mundo.

As entranhas pendiam-lhe; trazia
Patentes os pulmões e o saco feio,
27 Onde o alimento de feição varia.

A contemplá-lo estava de horror cheio,
Eis me encara e me diz, abrindo o peito:
30 Vê como eu tenho lacerado o seio!

"Mohamed (Maomé) sou, quase pedaços feito;
Antecede-me Ali, que se lamenta:
33 Do mento à testa o rosto lhe é desfeito.

"Todos, que a dor aqui tanto atormenta,
De escândalos, de cismas inventores,
36 Pendidos têm, qual vês, pena cruenta.

"Demônio deixo atrás que os pecadores
Aos fios passa de cruel espada.
39 Da multidão nenhum aos seus furores

"No giro escapa da afrontosa estrada.
Cerrar-se em todo cada golpe horrendo
42 Antes que torne a olhar-lhe a face irada.

"Mas quem és, que, na rocha te detendo,
Estás dessa arte a dilatar a pena,
45 Que Minos te aplicou, teus crimes vendo?"

- "Não é morto; sentença o não condena"-
Torna o Mestre- "não vem por seu castigo,
48 Mas, para ter experiência plena.

"Descendo ao mais profundo vai comigo,
Que morto sou, dos círculos temidos:
51 Tão certo é como falo ora contigo."

Ouvindo mais de cento dos punidos,
De espanto a me encarar se demoraram,
54 Dos seus próprios tormentos esquecidos.

- "A Frei Dolcino diz, pois não findaram
Teus dias e hás de ao sol tornar em breve,
57 Se desejos de ver-me o não tomaram,

"Que se aperceba; pois, cercando-o, a neve
Dará triunfo à gente de Novara,
60 A quem vencê-lo assim há de ser leve."

Para partir um pé Maomé alçara
Ao tempo, em que palavras tais dizia:
63 Baixou-o e foi-se, apenas rematara.

De guela golpeada outro acorria;
Té as celhas nariz tendo truncado,
66 Uma orelha somente possuía.

Como os mais, contemplando-me pasmado,
Aos mais se antecipou e, escancarando
69 O canal, que de sangue era inundado,

"Ó tu"- falou-me- "que não stás penando,
Que outrora hei visto em região latina,
72 Se eu não erro, aparências aceitando,

"Record-te de Pier de Medicina
Se tornar-te for dado ao belo plano,
75 Que de Vercello a Marcabó se inclina.

"E aos dois nobres varões dize de Fano,
Misser Angiolello e Misser Guido,
78 Se o futuro antevendo, eu não me engano,

"Que do baixel, que os haja conduzido,
De Católica ao pé, ao mar lançados
81 Serão por ordem de um tirano infido.

"Por Gregos, por piratas perpetrados,
Entre Chipre e Maiorca ao infame feito
84 Não viiu Netuno crimes igualados.

"O traidor, que de um olho tem defeito,
Dessa terra opressor, que um companheiro
87 Meu tivera em não vê-la mor proveito,

"Irão a seu convite prazenteiro
Para acordo; mas votos de Foscara
90 Não fará por temer vento ponteiro."

"Revela-me" tornei-lhe- "e me declara,
Desse favor, que deprecaste, em troca,
93 Quem de ver essa terra se pesara."

As mãos de um pecador alçando à boca,
Escancarou-a e disse-me gritando:
96 -"É este; a voz, porém, se lhe sufoca.

"Exulado, ele foi quem, dissipando
Hesitações de César, lhe afirmava
99 Que a ocasião perdia demorando."

Oh! quão pávido Cúrio se mostrava
Tendo cortada a língua na garganta,
102 Que outrora tanta audácia aconselhava!

Dos decepados braços alevanta
Outro os cotos ao ar caliginoso:
105 Banha-lhe o sangue a face, que me espanta.

Gritou:- "Memora Mosca desditoso!
Fui quem disse:- O seu fim tem cousa feita!
108 Fatal dito, à Toscana, ai! bem danoso!"

"E à tua raça, que à morte foi sujeita!"
Atalhei. Sobre a dor, dor se acendendo
111 Em desperança se partiu desfeita.

Aquela multidão stava atendendo
Cousa assombrosa eis vejo, que inda hesito
114 Em narrar, provas outras eu não tendo.

Da consciência ja me alenta o grito,
Sócia fiel, que o homen torne forte,
117 Sob o arnês da verdade, sempre invicto.

Eu via, e cuido ver na mesma sorte
Apropinquar-se um corpo sem cabeça
120 Por entre os outros da infeliz coorte,

Caminha, alçando-a pela coma espessa,
Da mão pendente a modo de lanterna:
123 Gemendo, os olhos seus nos endereça.

Servia ele a si próprio de luzerna,
Eram duas em um, era um em duas:
126 Como ser pode, sabe o que governa.

Chegado ao pé da ponte, das mãos suas
Um ao alto a cabeça levantava
129 Para lhe ouvirmos as palavras cruas.

"Vê meu duro castigo!"-assim falava-
"Tu, que os mortos visitas, sendo em vida:
132 Outro já viste igual ao que me agrava?

"Eu sou- faz minha história conhecida,
Voltando à luz-Bertran de Born, que há dado
135 Ao jovem rei consulta, em mal tecida.

"Pai e filho inimigos hei tronado:
As iras de Absalão mais não mobera.
138 Contra Davi Aquitofel malvado.

"Laços tais como eu, pérfido, rompera,
Meu cérebro assim levo desunido
Desse princípio, que no corpo impera:

142 Por lei sou, pois, de talião punido."

Em Língua Moderna: 

Canto XXVIII
Quem poderia, mesmo fazendo uso da melhor prosa,
narrar as cenas de sangue e das feridas, que eu vi naquele
triste lugar? Todas as línguas, por certo, estariam
falidas, pois nossa memória e nosso vocabulário não são suficientes
para compreender tamanha dor. Nem nos campos de batalha das
piores guerras se viu tantos corpos estraçalhados, com deformações
e feridas tão terríveis, quanto os que povoavam aquela nona vala.
Próximo a nós estava um condenado com as entranhas à vista,
rasgado do nariz à garganta e com os intestinos pendurados entre as
pernas. Eu o olhava, hesitante, quando ele, me olhando de volta,
rasgou o peito com as mãos dizendo:
— Vês, tu, como eu me maltrato? Vês como Maomé e Ali estão
desfeitos, gemendo, e todos esses semeadores de discórdias e heresias?
Todos aqui são continuamente rasgados, cruelmente, por um
diabo que aqui nos tortura eternamente. Em vão saram as feridas,
pois logo ele volta e nos dilacera outra vez! — depois me perguntou
— E tu, quem és, tentando retardar a tua pena aí sobre a ponte?
— Nem morte ainda o alcançou, nem culpa ordena que ele sofra
aqui — respondeu Virgílio —, mas para que ele possa ter esta
experiência, eu, que estou morto, devo guiá-lo por todo este Inferno
de giro em giro. Isto é tão verdadeiro como a minha presença

aqui. 
Quando ouviram essas palavras, mais de cem almas se aproximaram
para me ver, quase esquecendo por um momento o seu
intenso sofrimento.
— Diga ao Frei Dolcino — falou Maomé — que ele se abasteça
de mantimentos e não saia do seu refúgio nas montanhas, se
ele não tiver pressa em me encontrar. Se não tomar esses cuidados,
o bispo de Novarra certamente o vencerá!
Depois de falar, Maomé se levantou e saiu. Veio então outro
que tinha a garganta furada, o nariz totalmente decepado e apenas
uma orelha inteira. Ele se separou do grupo e abriu sua goela vermelha,
que falou:
— Ó tu que vi na sua terra latina, lembra-te de Pier de Medicina
quando voltares, e avisa a Guido e Angiolello que, se nossa visão
é certa, eles serão arrancados do seu barco e afogados perto de
Cattólica, por traição de um tirano cruel. Aquele traidor, que só vê
por um olho, reina sobre uma cidade que alguém aqui deseja nunca
ter visto.
— Quem é aquele que nunca deseja ter visto a cidade onde
reina o tirano? — perguntei.
— É este aqui. Mas ele não fala nada! — disse Pier, mostrando
um companheiro calado e assustado, cuja boca ele abriu com a
mão. — Este homem, no exílio, acabou com as dúvidas de César
quando lhe disse: “O homem preparado, quando hesita, perde.”
Oh, como ele parecia assustado, com a língua presa na garganta,
Cúrio, que antes fora tão grande orador.
Um outro, com ambas mãos truncadas, levantou os cotos no

ar, espalhando sangue sobre seu rosto, e gritou: 
— Recorda o pobre Mosca, que disse “o que está feito, está
feito” que para os toscanos foi semente tosca!
— E para a tua casta será a morte! — respondi-lhe, irritado, e
ele, com mais essa ferida, retirou-se.
Continuei a observar a multidão quando vi um corpo que caminhava
sem cabeça. Ele segurava sua cabeça pelos cabelos, balan-
çando-a como lanterna. Quando chegou junto da ponte, ergueu alto
o braço que a segurava, para que sua fala pudéssemos ouvir melhor:
— Sou Bertran de Bórnio — gritou —, e sofro esta pena
monstruosa por ter instigado o jovem rei contra seu pai. Eu pus o
pai contra o filho e por ter separado aqueles antes tão unidos, tive o
meu cérebro separado do meu tronco. E assim, em mim tu vês, o

perfeito contrapasso.

Fr. "Juan de Jesus" UNMASKED

What follow is a post taken from Cath Info.  I have followed this story for the last couple of years, especially regarding the Teco infiltration of the SSPX La Reja seminary and the Mexican SSPX district.  I have confirmed many of these details with priests and even Traditional Catholics (sedevacantist or otherwise) in Guadalajara.  It is important to expose this person who seeks to insult good Catholics and even the deceased.


Fr. Sergio Ruiz Vallejo, supporter of rebellion against the Archbishop and the seminary.



I'm a Traditional Catholic. I was born in Mexico. I must say the following: 

1. The author of this calumny is Father Sergio Ruiz Vallejo, former SSPX priest. He was allied since the beginning with Fr. Morello (Seminary Rector) against Bp. Faure and La Reja Seminary, that is to say, against Archbishop Lefebvre. 

2. Fr. Morello was not expelled from the SSPX because Urritigoity, but for sedevantist, also because he divided the Seminary, he ran away with half of the seminarians. A Seminary rector who is a traitor deserves to be expelled, isn’t he? 

It’s true Fr. Morello warned the SSPX about Urritigoity. But, after the split, Urritigoity went to Winona Seminary and said he was a scapegoat of Morello. Morello was verified to be a liar. ABP Lefebvre was asked if Urritigoity could enter the Seminary and he approved. That is the only reason he was accepted on Winona Seminary. 

3. Father Sergio Ruiz belonged to an organization called “The Tecos, from Guadalara, Jalisco. The Tecos owns a “Traditional Catholic University” called Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara. They planned and carried out the split of La Reja Seminary and a cruel persecution against Fr. Faure. Who are the Tecos? 

The University was founded by a group of laymen supported by Jesuits priests to oppose the socialist education in Guadalajara (1930’s). After a fight, the Universidad Autonoma of Guadalajara was founded. Family Leaño were founders and have the control since the beginning. Once the University was founded, they created the Secret Society Los Tecos. After years of financial starvation, the UAG received money from the Rockefeller, Ford and Carnegie Foundations as well as from the Agency for International Development (AID). By 1975, the Autonomous University of Guadalajara had a budget of ten million dollars, in what Vice-Dean Antonio Leaño (head of Leaño family), called a "miracle" of American and Mexican philanthropy. That miracle was the result of the funds provided by the U.S. government through the Agency for International Development (AID) and the aforementioned American “philanthropic” foundations. Between 1964 and 1974, they had bestowed nearly twenty million dollars in grants to the Tecos' university. With the influx of American financial assistance, the Tecos at the Guadalajara campus were able to finance their nonacademic programs. According to a Mexican political analyst who infiltrated the T ecos and attended their secret meetings, the grants and scholarship funds received from the United States were laundered through the university for Tecos use. "Much of this money went to support the Teco 'political' activities," he said. Their political activities were many. They established political front groups, such as FEMACO (Mexican Anti-Communist Federation) and the IACCD (Inter-American Confederation of Continental Defense), to serve as liaisons to right-wing groups. They became part of the World Anti-Communist League in 1972. Their power became enormous. Soon, the Tecos assumed the leadership of the Latin American Anti-Communist Confederation (CA L). That’s why they have so many liaisons in all the right wing world. Tecos also belong to the John Birch Society (note from blog: My grandparents belonged to the JBS and were directly pointed to Archbishop Lefebvre by one of the leaders of the organization. That said, the JBS was most probably hijacked, but I don't have enough information to say on this detail. Comments or info is welcome.), established in 1958 by the CIA and the Rockefellers. Mr. Antonio Leaño, head of the Tecos, also had a strong friendship with President Lyndon Johnson. He attended the President’s funeral. He also was a friend of President Bush Sr. 
NOW, taking advantage of his position as “anti-communists” “anti-jewish”, “catholics”, they denounced the II Vatican Council and helped Fr. Saenz y Arriaga (founder of sedevacantism), and many other priests to begin the “resistance” to the council. The cardinal of Guadalajara Garibiy Rivera, issued a letter in 1964 warning "students so that they would not go astray by those who with the pretext of fighting errors like Communism, built secret organizations in which it is demanded under oath of strict secrecy and obedience to unknown leaders and even with clear menaces to those who would break the orders given”. They promoted the split of many Traditional Catholics groups. They slandered many priests with the aim of dividing the Traditional Catholic Resistance to the modernism. 

4. The Tecos approached the SSPX. On the University, they sent their students to Ignatian Retreats preached on the SSPX. Then, they sent them to the Seminaries, Ecône, La Reja, Winona. This way they had agents to destroy, to divide the work of ABP. Lefebvre. 

5. When Bp. Faure was District Superior of Mexico, he was persecuted by them. They made up the ridiculous story of his “Jewish father”. The Tecos asked Fr. Schmidberger to remove Bp. Faure of his charge of Superior. He was removed in 1991, after the death of ABP Lefebvre. Since then, he has been persecuted by all the Tecos, the sedevacantists, even the SSPX. Why? Bp. Faure is a real counterrevolutionary. He knows the Revoution very well. He was an obstacle for the Tecos to act within the Society. 

THIS IS THE TRUE STORY. 

After Bp. Faure left Mexico, it was a rule within the Society to not have liaisons with the Tecos. Since the arrival of Fr. Trejo as Prior of Guadalajara, the Tecos were involved again in the Society. Tecos have a lot, a lot, a lot of money. They helped to build the Guadalajara church, and maybe the priory of Mexico City. The rest is history...

DOGGED INFIDELS- Eleison Comments 435-Bishop Williamson

DOGGED INFIDELS



 
When Europe had the faith, it could defeat
The Muslim hordes, but now? – one long retreat.
As the faltering remains of Christendom face today a Muslim invasion organized by the millennial enemies of God, and made possible by the Western nations’ wretched politicians and vile media, it is well to remember how often in times past Christendom was threatened by Muslim invasions, and how Christendom then defended itself, by turning to God. In the summer of 1683, a huge Muslim army of anything from 150 to 300 thousand soldiers besieged Vienna and threatened to engulf Europe from the south-east. The Muslims even envisaged capturing Rome, for the glory of Islam.
With the help of a saintly Capucin, Fr. Marco da Aviano, Pope Innocent XI succeeded in putting together a Christian army from several European nations to relieve Vienna. Here is the prayer of the Capucin just before the battle:—
“O Lord God of Hosts, Behold us prostrate at the feet of your Majesty, to obtain forgiveness for our sins. Well do we know how we have deserved that the infidels take up arms to oppress us, because the iniquities committed by us every day against your goodness have justly provoked your wrath. O great God, from the depth of our hearts we ask you to forgive us; we execrate sin because you abhor it; it pains us that we have often angered your supreme goodness. For love of you we would rather die a thousand times than commit the least act to displease you. Come to our aid, O Lord, with your grace, and let not your servants break the pact which we have made with you alone. Have pity upon us, have pity on your Church, which the fury and strength of the infidels are even now preparing to oppress.Even if it is by our own fault that they have broken in on the serenity of these Christian countries, and even if all the ills coming upon us are none other than the consequence of our own wickedness, still be propitious towards us, O God of all goodness, and despise not the work of your own hands. Remember how, to save us from the slavery of Satan, you shed all of your Precious Blood.
“Will you allow it to be trodden underfoot by these dogs? Can it be that you will permit the precious pearl of the faith, which you sought out with such zeal and rescued with so much suffering, to be thrown to these swine to be trampled on? Forget not, O Lord, that if you allow the infidels to prevail over us, they will blaspheme your holy Name and mock your power, crying out a thousand times, “Where is their God, the God who was powerless to save them from our hands?” Let it not be held against you, O Lord, that you gave way to the fury of the wolves, just when we were calling upon you in our misery and anguish. Great God of battles, come to our aid! If you favour our cause, the armies of the infidels cannot harm us. Scatter these people that have wanted war! For our part, we ask no more than to be at peace with you, with ourselves and with our neighbour . . .”
The prayer continues with the request for the Christian army’s leaders and soldiers to be strengthened with God’s grace, with the spirit and courage of the heroes of the Old Testament, so that they may reduce to nought the enemies of the Christian name, and show forth God’s power. Let God look down on the Christian soldiers’ faith, hope and charity. On His behalf Marco will bless them on their way to battle. Let God hold back the arm of his wrath raised over them, and let His enemies know that there is no other God beside Him. Like Moses, Marco will lift his arms to bless the Christian soldiers. May God grant them victory, and the ruin of His and their enemies, Amen.
How politically incorrect! “Dogs” and “swine” – How racist! Intolerable! But the fact is that God granted to the Christians a sensational victory which threw back the Muslims for 300 years. Now they are back. And this time there is virtually no repentance left to call upon Almighty God . . .
Kyrie eleison.

SSPX DEAL IS ON THE TABLE AWAITING BISHOP FELLAY'S SIGNATURE

Taken from Cath Info



Note: This story is still developing and we are requesting information that will confirm more details.
I am a Traditional Catholic [...] Yes there are a lot of Resistance supporters and strong opponents of a practical agreement with Conciliar Rome "within" the SSPX - priests as well as laymen. I am pretty sure that you are aware of that fact. "We" are waiting for the upcoming agreement and then we will split. 
Since your forum Cathinfo.com is one of the most important platforms for resistance supporters, I am sending you the following news: 
Rome has sent an agreement proposal to Menzingen a few days ago. +Fellay is currently considering the final signing. 
I have this information from our priests who are also against this Operation Suicide and they have three sources: 

1. The district leader of Switzerland F. Henry Wuilloud has told his priests that Menzingen received the agreement proposal at their last meeting. 

2. [...] edited for privacy
3. Fr. Franz Schmidberger, currently head of the seminary at Zaitzkofen has told a layman that Menzingen has now the proposal on the table and that it will only take a short while that all will be settled with Rome. They only have to solve a "few minor issues".
You do not know me in person and I am only a passive reader of Cathinfo.com, but I am begging you: Spread the word that the deal is now on the table! Matthew, there are still many good but extremely naive laymen out there. They cannot imagine +Fellay negotiating with Conciliar Rome. They still hope that there will be no sellout of our beloved Society. But the sooner they are hit by reality the better.
We will also try our best to get the word out there. My wife and I will pray for you and your important work within the Resistance! May God bless you, your family and your good work! Many thanks and best wishes!
Note from blog:
I also received word earlier this week that Bishop Tissier has stated something to the effect of preparing himself for a deal.  Many resistance supporters, including myself, hoped that he would take a stand, but now it seems he won't.  Judging by the recent pictures of Bishop De Galerreta appreciating the modernist looking new chapel in Spain, I would count him out as taking a stand also.)

Let us also not forget that Fr. Wegner, the district superior of the U.S., was in Houston a few weeks ago and told the faithful, "Don't be surprised if one day you wake up and you are in Rome." All of these details lend credence to the report from the email.

Allah is NOT God and Mohamed is a False Prophet




The false sect of the Mohammedans is not a religion.  It is a sect.  It is a heresy.  It is diabolical. The false prophet and pedophile Mohamed claimed to have received his 'message' from the Archangel Gabriel.  St. Gabriel the Archangel is the messenger of the Lord and the angel from the Annunciation of Our Lord to the Most Holy Virgin. We have the wise words of St. Paul to remind us where this scourge comes from...

"I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel. [7] Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. [8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema. [9] As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema. [10] For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ." (Gal. 1: 6-10)



It is of even more surprise that we see the leftist and liberal movements and even homosexuals supporting this mass influx of supposed 'refugees'.  The enemies of God will team up against Christ and His Church even if only to later slaughter each other.  Charlie Hebdo was not that long ago at all.  Apparently, it would take another 15 Charlie Hebdos before the liberal media and the leftists realize that the Mohammedans are NOT peaceful people and that they only seek to take the reins of governments and impose Sharia law (including the execution of leftists and homosexuals).  It is suicide, literally.  All who oppose this suicide are labeled as 'racists', those same tactics of Trotsky and Judeo-masonery.  I'm appalled! For weeks we hear the liberals calling us fascists because we are opposed to these Mohammedan terrorists disguised as refugees entering into our homelands.  Then we have this little tidbit of information from the latest attack in Paris: "ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks and a Syrian passport was found on the body of suicide bomber at the Paris stadium." (1)

Mohamed is not a prophet.  He was a liar and pedophile.  The Koran is not a Holy Book.  It is the crafty work of demons which pulls the souls of men into the bowels of Hell.

The Mohammedans will not succeed.  This much is clear.  God may use them to scourge the apostate nations.  They may even convert after much destruction.  But we should not welcome them into our lands.  If Syrians want to come to the West, let them reject the false prophet Mohamed.  Let them renounce their diabolical sect and submit to the Church of Christ, which only exists in the Catholic Church.

Archbishop Lefebvre warned us many years ago of this plague coming to Europe and the West.  It is only a matter of time before the situation escalates into more and more bloodshed on a universal scale.  Watch and pray my brethren, watch and pray and raise your children to be men and not cowards.  There is no natural remedy for this situation.  

Sante Pie V, ora pro nobis!
Auxilium Christianorum, ora pro nobis!

The Frightening New Church of the SSPX in Spain




The following photos were taken from the site Syllabus.  They are also available on the official site of the SSPX/Spain (here).  The artwork is terribly and strikingly modernistic and seemingly masonic.  The church itself appears to be something more like a nightclub, though we should wait until it is finished, the façade indicates this as well.  When put in juxtaposition with the atrocious art of the Vatican 2 sect, there is little or no difference.  The SSPX has picked up the new trend of creating images of the Virgin, (if indeed we can call it that) out of junk and scrap metal.  Bishop De Galarreta appears smiling in the pictures.

The Neo-SSPX needed a tasteless scrap metal rendering of the Virgin in order to reflect their new position.






The SSPX's version of the face of the Virgin?

What is this?

Is that an egg?  Why is the Virgin standing on an egg?

Update:
It seems that the Neo-SSPX has dedicated this church to St. James (on his feast day, July 25th) and the construction is complete. It is still difficult to believe that this church belongs to the SSPX. Here is a picture of the altar after having been dedicated. This, obviously, appears to be anything but Traditional Catholic. Notice the short hair of the 'Virgin' with no veil. Notice that the 'crucifix' lacks the INRI inscription and the lack of Blood on the figure. It certainly has the neo-Pagan, modernist signature all over it. It's hard to imagine what the superiors were thinking.
