Parisian Police Beat FSSPX Priests: Catholic priests pummeled by the Regime!

Edit: here’s the video from Gloria.tv, which, despite the beating it’s receiving in Europe from the German Bishops’ Conference, is still putting out the good news. We found this video at a Peruvian Traditionalist El Sacristan Serrano, he goes on to describe this story with the title, “More than words”. It’s already got almost 10,000 hits on it. The SSPX priests were present at the demonstration Manif Pour Tous on April 19th, and were very roundly beaten, knocked to the ground and kicked.

Meanwhile, as Mundabor reports, the Society is begging the Holy Father not to let souls perish. They write a passioned letter by Bishop Fellay to Friends and Benefactors:

We beg Heaven and the authorities of the Church, in particular the new Supreme Pontiff, Pope Francis, Vicar of Christ, Successor of Peter, not to allow souls to perish because they no longer learn sound doctrine, the revealed deposit of the faith, without which no one can be saved, no one can please God.

What good is it to devote oneself to serving people if one hides from them what is essential, the purpose and the meaning of their life, and the seriousness of sin that turns them away from it? Works of charity done for the poor, the needy, the infirm, and the sick have always been a true concern for the Church, and we must not excuse ourselves from it, but if it becomes merely man-centered philanthropy, then the Church is no longer carrying out her mission, she is no longer leading souls to God, which can really be done only by supernatural means: faith, hope, charity and grace. And therefore by denouncing anything that is opposed to them: errors against faith and morality. Because if people sin, for want of that denunciation, they are damned for eternity. The Church’s reason for being is to save them and to help them avoid the misfortune of their eternal perdition.

  1. It is interesting that police everywhere are turning into mere thugs for the regime in charge, completely abandoning not only any faith or ethics they have but also any common sense. This was always the danger of police forces, that they would morph into a sort of praetorian guard, guarding the despots in power rather than guarding the polcie they are supposed to protect.

    That being said there are few things more shocking than seeing a priest being beaten, especially a good priest. One does wonder if it will awaken some sense among certain elements in the Church.

    1. Very well said the entire world is terribly out of hand. I pray that this does open the eyes of many, especially those in power at the Vatican.

  2. Apologies for the typo: that word in the last sentence of the first paragraph should be "people" not "police" (whatever THAT is!)

  3. Yes. Who polices the police? Will the police have to account for this. Is this another age of Martyrdom ? This is a Vulgar Age. Secularism has wrought Vulgarity of every stripe.

  4. Shouldn't Millions along with FSSPX flood the Vatican with pleas to Pope Francis?

    The filthy bastards. Surely there are Catholics who were among the police. They should have given them a beating of their own.

    I know that I would have thrown myself in between God's priests and the Devil's police. But I must admit that I am far too much like Peter and would have come prepared to remove the heads of any foul beast who would dare touch a Catholic priest.

    Woe also to Pope Francis if he does nothing about this.

  6. "And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus. And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus."

  7. I wouldn't expect too much from yet another liberal modernist pope who does not seem to know The Roman Catholic Faith very well. He does not seem to like traditional Catholics either judging by what we have heard him saying recently.
