SSPX attack on subversive Cardinal Martini
'A subversive theologian, a Hans Küng who has been successful within the ecclesiastical hierarchy'. These are the harsh words used by the Fraternity of Saint Pius X against Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, in an editorial by Father Alain Lorans. In the text Martini is attacked and accused of wanting to undermine the orthodoxy of the Catholic Church, with "theories that have a good following within the Church itself".
The starting point for the attack on the elderly Card. Martini is his latest book "Night conversations in Jerusalem" in which, says the Fraternity of St. Pius X, "he actually advocates the ordination of married men, the access of women to orders preceding the priesthood (waiting for better!) the access of remarried divorcees to the Eucharist, the appeal to the rights of the individual conscience against the discipline of the encyclical Humanae vitae".
Cardinal Martini, write the Society "is a Küng who has been successful within the ecclesiastical hierarchy. In reality they are two octogenarians opposed to the Church that has the promises of eternity!". So the former schismatic current takes the field and, despite the Holy See's lifting of the excommunication of its four bishops, intends to fight again against those it considers its lifelong enemies.
Martini and Küng were ultimately "two eighty year olds who are in rebellion against the church, which is eternal".
