German Justice Minister sees extremist tendencies in SSPX

Federal Justice Minister Zypries compares SSPX with extreme right-wing

Federal Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries has raised the extremist tendencies of the traditionalist SSPX before. "In dealing with such religious extremists, the same things must apply as when dealing with the extreme right," urged Zypries.

Utterances of the SSPX have made it clear that democracy and freedom are not just threatened by Islamic fundamentalists.

The Minister described as unbearable the appeal of the SSPX on the eve of the Christopher Street Day (CSD) in Stuttgart. At the end of July, the SSPX has called people to a vigil in the Baden-Württemberg state capital. At the CSD " wild and obscenely dressed " people parade through the streets "happy in their own perversion."

And further: "How proud we are when we read in a history book that there were courageous Catholics in the Third Reich who said: 'We do not go along with this madness!".Likewise, it is again daring to be Catholic! "
Appeal to the Catholic Church

The printed text of the latest newsletter of the SSPX is an "intolerable insult to the victims of National Socialism and a defamation of homosexuals," said Zypries. She called on the Catholic Church to draw a clear dividing line.

The church should not tolerate under their roof, or even only in their shade, such fanatics who produce such outrages" the Minister said on Monday evening at a book presentation on "Strategies of the extreme right." Politicians of the Green Party had already urged that the SSPX should be monitored by the authorities charged with the defence of the German Constitution.
SSPX reject criticism

The SSPX rejected the criticism in reply. The reference to Nazi injustice was "completely misunderstood". The SSPX had "neither in intention nor in reality wrongly equated the CSD with the Nazi regime," insisted the German District Superior Franz Schmidberger at the weekend.

However, according to Christian moral standards, the norms of the CSD are "immoral". This should be made known to the public according to Schmidberger.

What is a 'Justice Minister' doing giving her personal opinions ('unbearable') about the opinions of others, when her job is uphold the law?
Are we going to see the SSPX prosecuted for preaching what the Catholic Church teaches on the basis of this Justice Minister's goofy Weltanschauung?
First they try to smear the SSPX with charges of anti-semitism; then, when the SSPX attack Naziism as 'madness', it's 'unbearable' because it appears in the same paragraph as a call to protect Germany against the promoters of sodomy.
Is freedom is speech again 'unbearable' in Germany?
If they come for the SSPX, we must not remain silent simply because we are not SSPXers.
Catholics everywhere and all men of good will must rally round the SSPX. We are here as on a darkling plain...

What? "Catholics everywhere and all men of good will must rally round the SSPX"

Actually, Catholics everywhere and all men of good will must rally AGAINST the SSPX

And what of the words of our Holy Father, Scott?
"Can a community leave us totally indifferent in which there are 491 priests, 215 seminarians, 6 seminaries, 88 schools, 2 university institutes, 117 brothers, 164 sisters? Should we really calmly leave them to drift away from the Church? I am thinking, for example, of the 491 priests ... Should we simply exclude them, as representatives of a radical marginal group, from the search for reconciliation and unity? What will then be?"
Our Holy Father wants full unity, while you are insisting we must keep on hacking away at these people.
I used to think as you do, Scott, until I met some of their outstanding priests. I looked into matters more deeply at that point and saw that they have a serious case. It's serious enough that Rome is setting up doctrinal talks to go through it all with them.
The least Catholics can do is pray for the intentions of the Holy Father and the success of these talks.
