Catholic Church, in Today's News 09.17.09

Catholic Church. The Vatican has announced that talks between the Vatican and the Society of Saint Pius X will occur at the end of October.

Now the SSPX will pay the price for their failure to defend Bishop Williamson when the media, the church leaders, and Jewish spokesmen were calling for his head because he questioned the official version of the holocaust. In fact, the SSPX silenced Bishop Williamson as their response to the controversy.

This failure sent a message to the Vatican that the SSPX at best wavers on the question of the holocaust and relations to Judaism. The SSPX in effect opened a door wide open, and the Vatican is now walking through it with great confidence.

Cardinal Schonborn is quoted, "The SSPX will be told very clearly what is not negotiable for the Holy See. This includes such fundamental conclusions of the Second Vatican Council as its positions on Judaism, other non-Christian religions, other Christian churches and on religious freedom as a basic human right."

In other words, the Vatican will insist that the SSPX repudiate any critical outlook on Judaism and the holocaust. Because the Vatican saw a weakness in the SSPX on the Judaism question, they are now going to put it to the SSPX to stand or die on this very question. And they fully expect to prevail.

If the SSPX had been principled and stood by Bishop Williamson and his right to his views, the Vatican would have realized that it would be tough to confront the SSPX on Judaism. Instead the SSPX has handed the initiative to the Vatican. And the SSPX has made the discussion of this issue all that much more difficult.

Every epoch has its key issue. In our talmud-influenced world the key question is the holocaust and holocaustianity.  If one goes wrong on this question they will not arrive at an accurate understanding of anything in the battle for the souls of the world's population.

The truth is that very, very few people understand this key question. It is a pity and damaging to the future of the Church that the SSPX does not understand. They in fact dismiss the notion of holocaustianity. And by doing so they have given up the fight for the future of the Church before the fight even really begins.
