When Benedict makes Redemption all so nice,
Then Christ becomes no more than sugar and spice.
When Benedict makes Redemption all so nice,

Four previous numbers of “Eleison Comments” (241,247, 249 and 251) are summarized to show how they tie together.
Benedict XVI strove for a false Newchurch, made broader than the true Catholic Church by a false ecumenism of co-existing beliefs.
Three further quotes from Vatican II documents show how the Council’s ambiguity is behind Benedict’s false concept of the Church.
Back in 1988 Archbishop Lefebvre warned clearly that any merely practical agreement with today’s Rome would divide and destroy the SSPX.
Before the Episcopal consecrations of 1988, Archbishop Lefebvre did work for a practical agreement with Rome, but thereafter, never again. Never again.
Several numbers of “Eleison Comments,” working from a recent book in German, will show the Pope’s concept of the Church is false.
A Vatican insider suggests what Rome will tell the SSPX at their upcoming meeting. But the Rome-SSPX problem lies far deeper.
If Rome soon presents its decision on the SSPX, as emerging from the Discussions, let the SSPX examine closely any tempting offer.
In conclusion, Benedict XVI hopes in vain to reconcile Catholicism with the modern world. They can only make war on one another.
To a doubting French journalist the author of “Eleison Comments” expresses confidence that the imminent Motu Proprio will do much good.
Indeed, it both declares that the Tridentine Mass was never banned, and permits Latin rite priests to use it, whenever and wherever.
By overloading our eyes and ears, said Kafka, the cinema overwhelms our minds. Minds being overwhelmed means that lies triumph.
In his outstanding Encyclical of 100 years ago, Pius X nailed the deadly error of modern times: minds’ independence from their object.
Despite many Catholics’ reservations as to the content and motivation of the Motu Proprio, one may still believe it will do good.
