Question for Fr. Hewko

Fr. Hewko has given a short reply to this question. Fr. has stated that he is not rushing into any group or making any commitments at this time. He is simply tending to the souls who have asked for him to minister to them and is praying to see where the Blessed Mother leads him.

I think, Fidelis, in all fairness, Fr. Hewko has been very clear on his position.

He has preached against Vatican II and the New Mass since he was ordained a priest.

He has preached against the dangerous new direction of the SSPX after the Doctrinal Declaration for the last six years.

And in recent months, he has preached on the dangers of an association with Ambrose Moran. He made his position regarding Moran and other areas very clear in his recent statement regarding his decision to depart OLMC.

We know Father Hewko's sermons are easily available that speak to his thoughts on doctrine and dogma. He has also made himself available by phone, email, and postal mail for questions, his contact information being found here and here.

Fr. Hewko has consistently preached for over twenty years on the importance of 'holding the line of Archbishop Lefebvre,' who himself was just holding the line of Tradition and all the Catholic Faith has taught. All of Fr. Hewko's positions have come directly from the words of the Archbishop. This is what the SSPX started out doing and was supposed to keep doing.

The times are difficult. There is much to confuse 'even the elect', even those trying to hold the Catholic Faith. This is why we cling to what the Church teaches, what our Faith teaches and do not cling to persons. It was clinging to persons that kept most souls in the Novus Ordo. It was clinging to persons who kept many souls in the SSPX after the Doctrinal Declaration. It was clinging to persons that led many souls to cling to Bishop Williamson, that once -great lion of tradition, when he preached, "the New Religion can be used to build your Faith."

Archbishop Lefebvre's seminary rector, Fr. Henri LeFloch,

This is our guide, to think as the Catholic Church thinks. Let us cling to our Holy Faith and not be side-tracked by the persons and not compromise with an error, no matter where it is found.
