¿ESTÁ VACANTE LA SEDE?.- POR EL R.P. DOMINIQUE BOULET.- PARTE 12

9. Conclusión.
9.1. ¿Nuestro Señor fue sedevacantista?
Cuando El predicaba en Palestina e incluso cuando fue arrestado y condenado a muerte, Nuestro Señor mantuvo su reconocimiento a la autoridad del sacerdocio Mosaico.
Entonces Jesús habló a las muchedumbres y a sus discípulos, diciendo: En la cátedra de Moisés se han sentado los escribas y los fariseos. Haced, pues, y guardad lo que os digan, pero no los imitéis en las obras, porque ellos dicen y no hacen.” (Mateo XXIII, 1-3)
Aún más, Nuestro Señor no destituyó a San Pedro después de su triple traición durante la noche de la Pasión, sino que lo confirmó en sus funciones una vez que Pedro hiciera reparación por su pecado (Juan XXI, 15-17).
9.2. Palabras de sabiduría:
Beato Dom Columba Marmion abad de Maredsous (1858-1923)
Al final de este estudio, me gustaría aplicar las palabras del gran Abad Marmion a nuestro tema:
Cuando estemos ante Cristo en el último día, Él no nos preguntará qué tanto hemos ayunado, si hemos pasado nuestra vida en penitencia, si hemos dedicado muchas horas a la oración: no, sino si hemos amado y ayudado a nuestros hermanos. ¿Serán entonces los demás mandamientos puestos de lado? Ciertamente no, pero nuestra observancia de éstos no habrá servido para nada si no hemos guardado su precepto de amarnos los unos a los otros, este precepto tan querido de Nuestro Señor, y que es Su Mandamiento.” [44]
Permítanme parafrasear: cuando estemos ante Cristo, El no nos preguntará nuestra opinión sobre la legitimidad del Pontificado del Papa Juan Pablo II (o de Juan XXIII, Pablo VI, Juan Pablo I, Benedicto XVI o Francisco. NdB). Sino que, nos preguntará si hemos guardado la Fe, si la hemos alimentado atendiendo una Misa válida y recibiendo Sacramentos válidos. Tal es la misión de los sacerdotes de la FSSPX, la de proveer a las almas estos medios necesarios para la santificación.

4. TFP (Tradition, Family, Property) is a movement which was founded in Brazil in the 1930’s by Prof. Plinio Correa de Oliveira, who , for 40 years, was a close friend of Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer. Plinio wrote a famous book on the agrarian reform in Brazil, in which he defended quite well the Catholic Principles. However, in the early 1980’s, Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer publicly broke with the TFP, when he became convinced that the TFP had turned into a dangerous personality cult whose purpose is the glorification of its Brazilian founder, Dr. Plinio Correa de Olivera. Many highly idealistic and religiously motivated young men have been captivated by its persuasive program. The appeals to moral, dogmatic and liturgical tradition which are so refreshing in this age of turmoil are simply a means to lure individuals into the cult.

8. Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange o.p. (†1964), was one of the finest theologians of the XX century. He was especially famous for his extraordinary capacity to give a synthesis of the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas. His many works show him as an achieved thomist and roman theologian. cf Pour La Sainte Eglise Romaine, V.A. Berto, Cadre, 1976.

He added: “The Church is alive today more than ever! But when one consider, it seems that there is still a lot to do; the work begins today and never ends.” Angelus prayer, Castelgandolfo, August 9, 2004.

16. De L’Eglise de de sa Divine Constitution, Dom Gréa, Paris, 1885, p. 153. This book gives a commentary of the dogmatic constitution Pastor Aeternus of Vatican I Council. It has also a very interesting section which deals with “the extraordinary action of the episcopate”, which gives doctrinal ground to justify the actions of Catholic bishops in time of crisis. Fr. Gréa gives 3 reasons: 1. Such a state of necessity that the existence of religion would be at threat; 2. When the ministry of the regular pastors is annihilated or made powerless; 3. When there is no hope of a possible recourse to the Holy See.

21. Billot, Tractatus de Ecclesia Christi, Vol. I, pp. 612-613.  Along with Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange o.p., Louis Card. Billot s.j. was one of the greatest and finest Roman theologians of the XX century. He was a close friend of Fr. Henri Le Floch C.S.Sp., superior of the French Seminary in Rome, where Archbishop Lefebvre studied. Fr. Berto, who also studied in the same seminary under Fr. Le Floch, and was the personal theologian of Archbishop Lefebvre during the Council Vatican II said: “The genius of Cardinal Billot was to have recovered, separated, expanded and renewed the doctrine of the Angel of the School (St. Thomas Aquinas); to have taught the pure doctrine of St. Thomas, which he mastered remarkably with his personal charism.” Pour La Sainte Eglise Romaine, V.A. Berto, Cedre, 1976.
22. Canon 233 #2: “If, however, the Roman Pontiff announces the creation of some (Cardinal) in Consistory, (but) keeps his name reserved in his heart, one so promoted in the meantime enjoys no rights or privileges of a Cardinal, but, when the Roman Pontiff later makes his name known, he enjoys these from the date of publication, but with right of precedence from (the time of) the reservation in the heart.”

24. Fr. (then Bishop) Michel Guérard des Lauriers o.p. (†1988). In the 1970’s, Fr. Guérard was called by Archbishop Lefebvre to teach in the seminary of Econe. Later on, Archbishop Lefebvre had to dismiss Fr. Guérard des Lauriers on account of his sedevacantists theories.  In the late 1970’s, Fr. Guérard des Lauriers developed his theory of the material pope, known as Cassiciacum thesis. In 1981, he was consecrated bishop by Bishop Thuc.
