The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life."
To live without faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a steady struggle for truth – that is not living, but existing.
It is sad that there are what you might call professional Catholics who make a living on their Catholicism, but in whom the spring of faith flows only faintly, in a few scattered drops. We must really make an effort to change this.
Certainly, it is difficult to make the demands of the Gospel understandable to secularized people. But this pastoral difficulty must not lead to compromises with the truth.
Evil too, will always be part of the mystery of the Church. And when we see what men, what the clergy have done in the Church, then that is nothing short of proof that he [Christ] founded and upholds the Church. If she were dependent on men, she would long since have perished.
The link to the SSPX article with an interview of Bishop Fellay is this one. It would seem as though my website system does not allow these new domains as links.
