Christ the King: Our Supreme Ruler by Conquest & Nature - Sermon of Abp. Lefebvre

October 26, 2018

Faithful to his Roman teacher, Fr. Marc Voegtli, Archbishop Lefebvre sees in the Mass the most solemn proclamation of Christ’s kingship.

In the hymn Vexilla regis, we sing “Regnavit a ligno Deus”: God reigned from the wood, the wood of His cross. On the cross he conquered the devil, sin and eternal death, and this work of redemption is carried on in every Mass.

The victory of Christ the King is brought about by the Mass but it is also a conquest: it extends to all souls, to families, the Catholic school, and also reaches into the professional life, the laws, the politics and the entire life of society. This is the integral work of the Catholic priesthood.



The SSPX Holds a Treasure in its Hands: Fr. Pagliarani Interview

Interview with the Very Reverend Father Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X, first published in Nouvelles de Chrétienté [News about Christendom] Issue 173.

Father General, you are succeeding a bishop who headed the Society of Saint Pius X for twenty-four years and who, moreover, ordained you a priest. What are your feelings about succeeding him?

Someone already asked me a similar question when I was appointed rector of the seminary in La Reja, where two bishops had preceded me in that responsibility. Let’s say that this time it is a bit more complicated! Bishop Fellay is an important personage in the history of the Society, since he supervised it for half of the time in which it has existed. During that long period there was no lack of trials, and nevertheless the Society is still here, holding high the standard of Tradition. I think that this fidelity of the Society to its mission is in a certain way the reflection of my predecessor’s fidelity to his. I wish to thank him for that on behalf of everyone.

Some have nevertheless attempted to see your personality as being very different from that of your predecessor. Is there some point about which you really feel different?

I must admit—cum grano salis [with a grain of salt]—that I irreparably detest all electronic media without exception and with no chance of changing my opinion, while Bishop Fellay is an expert on that subject....

 Out of respect for Our Lord and for mutual edification, men and women should dress modestly. Slacks, shorts, sleeveless dresses, and low cut dresses do not meet the norm of Christian modesty.
