This same reproach is valid for us, dear brethren. This is why Our Lord reproached them to their faces. For this reason Our Lord said to His disciples: “Men of little faith!” Yes, He was right! How could the Apostles who had Our Lord with them be afraid, since they were with Christ in the boat of Christ? For if the Church belongs to Christ, even when He sleeps as Man He is awakened as God, eternally awakened. The Apostles were with Our Lord in the boat, the boat symbolizes the Church amid the stormy, dangerous and dark waters of this world, which is under the empire of Satan (…) and his cohorts.
These things raise indignation in well-born men and women. There is a holy indignation that rises upon seeing truth, the faith and common good, justice, law, the homeland, family and friendship being despised along with any other good thing you might add. There is a just indignation, which is not the ire as a sin, when it is pure caprice. There is a holy ire – there is not a holy arrogance or a holy laziness – but there is a holy ire. This is not the supernatural virtue of the Catholic it is an effeminate parody of virtue. Anyone who thinks he can live like a parakeet, foolishly and timidly walking about (…) enters the path of fraud. The whole supernatural order, the order of the grace and the spiritual life is virile. From this comes the virtue that is virile: there is no virtue without fortitude, either for a man or a woman. Absolutely not! He was a virile man, and religion is virile. You see how Our Lord is not as some depict Him with rosy cheeks like a little nun, effeminate. It is democratic liberalism that produces politically correct men, who are useless and fearful to defend the truth, above all religious truth. He, who was the peaceful and sweet, did that! Yes, because to be peaceful, meek and sweet is not to be a fool or even less a coward. Well, Our Lord was tremendous, and here we see again that He was tremendous (…) Twice before He had used the whip, expelling those merchants from the Temple who were selling the Church, selling their fatherland. And who among us would not be scared in the middle of a storm at sea?! The disciples woke Him and Our Lord – What an answer He gave them! – said: “Men of little faith!” Our Lord was sleeping like a boy during the hecatomb without caring about the danger of sinking when the disciples, very frightened, awoke Him. On this 4th Sunday after Epiphany, today’s Gospel tells us about the miracle Our Lord worked with His disciples in the boat that was close to shipwreck, of sinking. As is normal, the written text somewhat improves the spoken word.īeloved Brethren in Our Lord Jesus Christ: Several words are not clearly audible in the Spanish original, so we used what seemed most probable.

Basilio Méramo is just the whistle announcing that the water is boiling in the kettle. We are hearing of a growing dissatisfaction within the ranks of SSPX regarding the concessions its superiors are making in order to be accepted by the Vatican. You may read his sermon below and judge for yourself. Much more is said – and boldly said – by Fr. Where does Benedict XVI go? He goes to the Synagogue, he goes to the United Nations, and now he goes to the Society (SSPX) – another concubine in the pantheon of false religions.”
With an unusual evangelical frankness he depicts as "a betrayal" the compromise of his SSPX superiors with “the heresies and errors” of the Vatican II.Īmong several other charges, he states: “This problem is happening with the General Superior (of SSPX) who is selling out the Society by allying himself with the Vatican, which did not step back in anything.
