FOR ETERNAL ROME


“…Let the Priest capable of preaching go to the limits of his power to preach, to absolve sins, and to celebrate the True Mass. Let the Sister teacher go to the limits of her grace and power to form girls in the Faith, good morals, purity, and literature. Let every Priest and layman, every small group of laymen and Priests who have authority and power over a small stronghold of the Church and Christianity, go to the limits of their possibilities and powers. Let the leaders and pupils of such strongholds know each other and be in contact with each other. Let each stronghold, protected, defended, trained, and directed in its prayers and songs by a royal authority, become as much as possible a fortress of holiness. This is what will guarantee the continuation of the True Church and effectively prepare for its renewal when it is God's good time.

“Thus, we must not be afraid, but pray with all confidence and exercise without fear, according to the  Tradition and, in the sphere that corresponds to us, the power we have, thus preparing us for the happy time when Rome will once again be Rome (the eternal Rome) and the Bishops will be Bishops (acting as genuinely Catholic Bishops).

"...Is she who will once again be victorious over heresy"


 "Our combat against modernism, even if it is sustained by prayer as it should be, even if it employs the appropriate weapons, remains unequal to the evil to be withstood.  This time apostasy has perfected its methods too well for it to be vanquished without a miracle.  Then let us not cease to implore this miracle from the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady.  Let us carry on the fight with all our strength as useless servants, while having recourse more than ever to the all-powerful intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Mother of God, for it is she who will once again be victorious over heresy."  

(Fr. Roger-Thomas Calmel, O.P.. [1914-1975], The Angelus, May-June 2014.)

IN GOD’S GOOD TIME


“…Therefore let the priest capable of preaching go to the limits of his power to preach, to absolve sins and to celebrate the true Mass. Let the teaching Sister go to the limits of her grace and her power to form girls in the Faith, good morals, purity and literature. Let every priest and layman, every little group of laity and priests having authority and power over a little fort of the Church and Christendom, go to the limits of their possibilities and powers. Let leaders and inmates of such forts know and be in contact with one another. Let each of the forts protected, defended, trained and directed in its praying and singing by a real authority, become as far as possible a fortress of holiness. That is what will guarantee the continuation of the true Church and will prepare efficaciously for its renewal in God’s good time.

“So we need not to be afraid, but to pray with all confidence and to exercise without fear, according to Tradition and in the sphere that is ours, the power we have, preparing thus for the happy time when Rome will come back to being Rome (Eternal Rome) and bishops to being bishops (or rather, to act as true bishops).”
