Dear Members of the
True
Church Militant,
The Council of Trent teaches the three levels of the Holy Roman Catholic Church: namely, the
Church Militant
, which are those baptized on earth, proclaiming the Catholic Faith, while battling against Error, Heresy, Liberalism, Modernism, Evolution, Socialism, Communism, the Devil, the flesh, and the world, etc.; the
Church Suffering
, which are the souls in Purgatory being purified, as gold in a furnace, "
He, himself, shall be saved, yet so as by fire.
" (I Cor. 3:15); and the
Church Triumphant
, which are the saints in the glory of unending Happiness.
The Church Militant is compared by Our Divine Lord as a field with both wheat and weeds; a draught of fish with both prize-catches and outcasts; a herd of both sheep and goats, to be finally separated in the end. Those who obtain the Church Triumphant is chiefly thanks to God's love and mercy, His election, and man's obedience to God's Commandments and cooperation with grace. Many who begin well, end badly. Many who begin badly, end well.
As a response to the recent "muckraking" against the SSPX, it is clear that the Muckraker's agenda is to try to expose and bring to light the impure scandals and crimes of individual clergymen of the SSPX.
Let just judgment be made by a fair trial and justice executed so that the Truth can shine brighter. I don't pretend to be a judge over these cases, but if what they expose is true and based on fair trials and not just mud-throwing, then they do a service to expose the scandals and crimes and it is hoped that the leaders of the SSPX will take the necessary action to eradicate, justly punish, and set reasonable safeguards against repeated offenses for the future. If left unpunished and neglected, it is a far greater scandal to souls and a gravely culpable negligence on the part of the authorities. May prayers be offered for the
offenders
to sincerely repent and accept their punishment and amend, and more especially, may prayers be offered for the
victims
, who suffer scars that can take years to heal, or even worse, cause them to lose the Faith altogether! Let both sides have speedy recourse to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Who is the Divine Doctor of souls, Who knows how to correct what is perverted and heal the wounds of the soul! "
Come to Me, all ye who labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you!
" (St. Mt 11:28).
The Muckrakers fail to see, however, that the true solution is not found (as some of them claim) in the Conciliar Church - the Church of Vatican II, with all its corrupt Reforms! Coincidentally, that is precisely what the Conciliar-SSPX is also forgetting! Since 2012 it has been the new direction, the "new attitude" adopted towards Modernist Rome; to seek "recognition" from the very wolves destroying the Church. Sliding and compromising on
DOCTRINE
(or the Holy Faith) leads logically to sliding and compromising on
MORALS
! So really, these Muckrakers are closer to the new-SSPX's position than they realize! Both want to reconcile the irreconcilable! [See the
Primary Sources for Studying the Crisis in the SSPX 2012
]
Both the Muckrakers and the Conciliar SSPX attempt to mingle Error with Catholic Tradition. Both fail to see the deteriorated "engine" causing the destruction of the Faith and Morals, which when fixed, will be the cause of the propagation of the Faith and defense of Morals. The clear stand of Archbishop Lefebvre cuts through all this nonsense.
This "engine" is the
Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ
. By attacking this "engine," Vatican II exploded the whole Church, affecting the Mass, Sacraments, Breviary, Rituals, Church architecture, etc. which were all "reformed" to be ecumenical; and strip Our Lord of His Divine Rights over politics, economics, education, and the entire social order. As Archbishop Lefebvre so often said, the heart of the Fight for the Faith is not firstly the Morals, nor even the Latin Mass, but the
Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ
, Whom the Churchmen dared to uncrown in the name of "Religious Liberty". They invented a "Democratic People's Mass" in place of the Mass adoring the Royalty of Jesus Christ, King victorious on the Cross.

If the breakdown of the "engine" of the Church is the cause of all the problems, to restore the "engine" is conversely the solution to all the problems! This is precisely what the Muckrakers, St. Peter's Fraternity, Good Shepherd Institute, Institute of Christ the King, Campos, Le Barroux, etc. and all the "conservatives" and now the new-SSPX fail to see.
"
Restore all things in Christ
" means firstly to restore the integral Faith! Defend the True Catholic Doctrine! Uphold the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ as Archbishop Lefebvre did! To defend His rights demands also to openly resist and condemn (and not be silent on) the very Errors which thoroughly permeate Vatican II, the New Mass, New Code, New Sacraments, etc.!
There can be no truce, no compromise between principles which are integrally opposed and irreconcilable! Water and oil cannot mix.
Practically, the answer lies in two things:
1.
Firstly, h
old the line of fidelity to the Church as Archbishop Lefebvre did!
No "Deals", no phony "Unilateral Recognition," no "Agreement," nor "Normalization" with Modernist Rome until Rome converts and re-crowns Our Lord Jesus Christ as King and upholds the Traditional Magisterium (which clearly condemns the Conciliar one!).
2
Both cannot be right!! By proclaiming the True Faith, the clergy will more faithfully live the vows of chastity and unite themselves as pure victims with the Victim on the Altar of the Cross in the ancient Tridentine Mass! Neo-conservatives must rise from the shallow defense of "the Latin Mass, the Latin Mass, the Latin Mass" (or even worse, "the conservative Novus Ordo Mass") to the
real Battle
, to the
real problem
in the "engine": namely,
the failure to uphold, defend, and proclaim the Social Reign, the Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ
! This is the "engine," the heart of the problem, according to Pope St. Pius X, Cardinal Pie of Poitiers, Fr. Denis Fahey, and Archbishop Lefebvre, .
2.
Secondly, obey Our Lady of Fatima!
Daily Rosary, conversion of heart and mind, five First Saturdays in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, wear Her scapular, fear Hell, do penance, storm Heaven! As for the Pope:
he must consecrate Russia with all the bishops, to Her Immaculate Heart of Mary!
This must be repeated over and over again "because the Most Holy Virgin is very sad because no one has paid any attention to Her message, neither the good nor the bad." (Sr. Lucia, 1957 Interview).
The Restoration of Christ the King is
the
solution, and will always be the solution, to all the ecclesiastical, political, economic, and social problems of all time!
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy Kingdom come through the triumph of Thy Mother's Immaculate Heart! Grant us a Pope like St. Pius X and rally the troops of the True Church Militant around Thy Heavenly Throne!
In Christ the King,
Fr. David Hewko

"It is this point, where lies our opposition and the reason why there is no possibility of an agreement.
The question is not so much about the Mass
, because the Mass is just one consequence of the fact that they wanted to get closer to Protestantism, and thus altering the worship, Sacraments, Catechism, etc.
The real fundamental opposition is against the Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
Opportet Illum Regnare!
(He must Reign!) St. Paul tells us, Our Lord came to Reign! They say 'No!' We say 'Yes!' with all its consequences." (Archbishop Lefebvre,
Fideliter
,
pg. 70, 1993)
2."When someone asks when we know when there will be an accord with Rome, my answer is simple:
when Rome re-crowns Our Lord Jesus Christ
. We cannot be in accord with those who uncrown Our Lord! The day when they recognize once again Our Lord as King of all peoples and nations, it will not be us with whom they have rejoined, but the Catholic Church, in which we dwell!"(Archbishop Lefebvre 1988, Fideliter #68, pg. 16)
Also: "It should come as no surprise that we cannot get along with Rome.
This will not be possible until Rome returns to Faith in the Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ
, as long as it continues to give the impression that all religions are good. (Archbishop Lefebvre,
Fideliter
, 1993, pgs. 70-71)
