FIDELIS MILES MILITIS: New Documentary: Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre

THE FAITHFUL KNIGHT

I am a convert to the One, True Faith. I am also what is called a Traditional Roman Catholic (or prior to 1965, just a regular, every day Catholic). But contrary to what you may have been taught, I, like most Traditionalists, am not a sedevacantist. I am loyal to the Magisterium and to the Holy Father; I believe that the Second Vatican Council was a true Church council and that the Novus Ordo Missae (Mass of Paul VI) can confect a true Eucharist when the rubrics are followed by a properly ordained Catholic priest. However, I believe that the massive destruction over the past fifty-one years has NOT been due to a misinterpretation of the Council’s documents, but is due to the documents themselves. I also believe that the Novus Ordo is grossly inferior to the Traditional Latin Mass (the True Mass, "the most beautiful thing this side of Heaven"), is Protestant in its orientation, and is grievously harmful to the Faith.

I support all Traditional Latin Mass orders (non-Sedevacantists), to include the SSPX, FSSP, ICKSP, and all diocesan priests who struggle to celebrate the True Mass under often terrible conditions.

Lastly, I hope all Roman Catholics who believe, as Holy Mother Church has taught these past 2,000 years, that there is Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus, take up the Cross & the Sword, and claim the title of “Faithful Knight.”

--I believe that Christ founded One Church, and that there is NO salvation outside Her.

--I believe that Irish monks saved Western civilization.

--I believe that the Crusades were a good thing.

--I believe that Islam is still the greatest threat to Western civilization.

--I will never apologize for the Catholic Church and Her mandate by Christ to spread the Gospel.

--I believe that at the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), Luther won.

--I believe that homosexuality has devastated the Catholic priesthood.

--I believe that many Novus Ordo bishops are direct successors to only one Apostle, Judas Iscariot.

--I believe that Dante was correct: The floor of Hell is littered with the skulls of bishops.

--I believe the "Reform of the Reform" is a toothless dog.

--I believe that Communion in the hand, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, removal of the altar rails, and removal of our tabernacles from the altar of sacrifice, has destroyed Catholic belief in the Real Presence.

--I believe that Traditional Catholics are at war with Roman-Protestants for the very soul of Holy Mother Church....and We will win!

--I believe that Russia has not been consecrated to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart by any Pope, and that parts of the Third Secret are still hidden by Rome.

--I believe that Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre will be raised to the altar as a Saint.

--I believe that if it were not for the Society of St. Pius X, Tradition would have died long ago.

--I believe that the Society of St. Pius X is the Marine Corps of Catholicism.

--I believe that the term "in full communion" is a sham. After all, per Rome, heretics like Cardinal Mahony and sodomites like Archbishop Weakland are "in full communion."

--I believe that the Republican Party is no different from the Democrat Party...and that they deserve each other.

--I believe that the U.S. Military produces the finest young men and women on the face of the earth.

--I believe that America has done more good for others around the world than any nation in history.

--I believe that our current Commander in Chief is a Marxist.

--I believe in the 2nd Amendment, just as the Fathers of our Nation did.

--I believe that the Death Penalty is a good thing.

--I believe in restoring all things in Christ.

New Documentary: Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre – A Bishop for the Church

Outstanding news! Several friends have sent me this link over the past day. Check out the website.

This could not have come at a better time. In this post-Vatican II world, where little seems Catholic, what better time then now to show the world what a true Catholic bishop should be.

From the website:

Why a movie on Archbishop Lefebvre?

It would seem that the story of Archbishop Lefebvre has already been completely written. There is the magnificently and definitive biography by Bishop Tissier de Mallerais. There is the famous Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre written by Michael Davies. Dr. David Allen White has contributed with The Horn of the Unicorn. We even have the Archbishop’s autobiography The Little Story of My Long Life.

However, the life of Marcel Lefebvre has never been told on film until now. We live in an age stimulated by visual and audio reinforcement. The Church has always instructed by catechesis; κατηχισμός “instruction by word of mouth.” This is an visual representation of the life of the founder of the Society of St. Pius X. The man who sometimes was called “the rebel bishop.” The life of a great Churchman who was an apostolic delegate of Pope Pius XII, Archbishop of Dakar, Superior General of The Holy Ghost Fathers and an active participant at Vatican II.

Why this film?

This project has received the support and encouragement of Bishop Bernard Fellay. He has opened all the archives to us! We will collect the stories of bishops, priests, the communities he served and the friends who were lucky enough to have known Archbishop Lefebvre. Additionally, we will also interview the surviving members of the family of the Bishop and all the laity who were willing to contribute to his life work.

We do not hide the fact that all this work has a cost, even if many professionals have offered their services pro bono. We invite you to participate by providing pictures, home videos, stories or any documents that you might have; or by simply making a donation.

We need everyone’s help to make this a complete and quality film. We are asking you to give whatever you can afford to assist in bringing Marcel Lefebrve’s life and work to the attention of the world.
