The Faith First

“Some are prepared to sacrifice the fight for the faith by saying: ‘Let us first re-enter the Church!
Let us first do everything to integrate the official, public structure of the Church. Let us be silent
about dogmatic issues. Let us be silent about the malice of the [New] Mass. Let us keep quiet
over the issues of religious freedom, Human Rights, ecumenism. And, once we are inside the
Church, we will be able to do this, we will be able to achieve that...’ That's absolutely false! You
don't enter into a structure, under superiors, by claiming that you will overthrow everything as
soon as you are inside, whereas they have all the means to suppress us! They have all the
authority.

“What matters to us first and foremost is to maintain the Catholic Faith. That's what we are
fighting for. So, the canonical issue, this purely public and exterior issue in the Church, is
secondary. What matters is to stay within the Church... inside the Church, in other words, in the
Catholic Faith of all time, in the true priesthood, in the true Mass, in the true sacraments, and the
same catechism, with the same Bible. That's what matters to us. That's what the Church is. Public recognition is a secondary issue. Thus, we should not seek what is secondary by losing what is
primary, by losing what is the primary goal of our fight!

“We cannot place ourselves under an authority whose ideas are liberal and who little by little
would condemn us, by the logic of the thing, to accept these liberal ideas and all the
consequences of these liberal ideas, which are the new Mass, changes in the liturgy, changes in
the Bible, changes in catechism, all these changes...”
