Quote:
During his homily on 8 December, Fellay said “the spirit of the world has entered the Church. So we are not just up against external enemies but against a non Catholic spirit that has wormed its way into the Church. This change, this spirit’s intrusion into the Church, became apparent after the Second Vatican Council. It is a great mystery; it is as if the devil had stepped foot inside a sanctuary. One shudders at the thought.” It is like an illness - the bishop went on to say – that has invaded a person’s body.” According to the Society’s Superior, the point has come where “the extent of the problem has become apparent.” And “one has to admit that Rome has made an effort with regards to us.” “But if Rome tells us to accept anyway, we simply cannot.” The Lefebvrian bishop therefore, affirmed that the Church’s problem is not the Society’s dissent, but the existence of a non Catholic spirit that has made its way into the Church.
