Bishop attacks SSPX over ordinations
kipa/apic
The Regensburg Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Mueller has said that the proposed diaconate and priesthood ordinations of the traditionalist SSPX in his diocese are meant as a "provocation" . The ordinations at Zaitzkofen announced for the 27th June would be contrary to canon Law, said Mueller in an interview with Vatican Radio.
New ordinations should not be carried out until the legal position of the SSPX was clarified. If the SSPX who according to their own statements wish to be in communion with the local bishop, they should also hold firm to Catholic discipline, said Mueller. He is wondering about their "problems in acknowledging the Magisterium of the Pope." If they claimed to be Catholic, they should also recognize all the Catholic principles.

That says it all really. "Pope says it and it is right" rather than the traditional "the pope says it BECAUSE it is right". grrrr
What an inversion of perspectives! They who despise the infallible magisterium accuse those who keep faith in tradition of being unfaithful.
It is the old trick of using obedience against faith in order to propagate heresy. But there is no virtue in obeying to error.
The accusers just want capitulation, their total triumph over tradition, the final victory of modernism against the Church, the unstopable march of the new theology disguised as catholic.
