Fr King's response to actions of Sr. Mary Elizabeth
Father Brendan King is a Catholic Priest ordained by Archbishop Lefebvre in 1987 at
Econe, Switzerland. No longer able in conscience to support The Society of Saint Pius
X’s betrayal of the Traditional cause and Archbishop Lefebvre’s legacy, he strives as
an independent Priest and with the grace of God, to be faithful to Tradition without
compromise to Liberalism or Modernism, in the spirit of Archbishop Lefebvre.

My Dear Friends,
And what is that Gospel ? It is quite simply that the Catholic Church has to move with the times and find a ‘modus vivendi’ with the world and modern man. Archbishop Lefebvre described the Council as World War III in the Church and the principles of the French Revolution (Liberty,
Father Brendan King
“But though we or an Angel from Heaven preach to you a Gospel besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.”
Is not the above text from the Epistle of St Paul to the Galatians in perfect harmony with the history of the Church since Vatican II which has caused an unprecedented crisis of Faith and has shaken the Catholic Church to her foundations ? The opinion of our founder Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre was that the Council was in contradiction with Catholic Tradition and represented a rupture with Tradition, that is in particular the teachings of the Council of Trent and of Popes Pius IX, Leo XIII, St. Pius X, Pius XI and Pius XII. He wrote several books and articles exposing the errors of the Council and most notably. ‘I Accuse The Council’. Pope Paul VI, the Pope of Vatican II, himself admitted shortly after the Council that “the smoke of Satan had entered the Church” and that we were witnessing the “auto-demolition of the Church.” Paul VI was a liberal Pope who, although he acknowledged the disastrous state of the Church after the Council, refused to admit that Vatican II was the cause of the disaster and chaos. It is a historical fact that Paul VI and his successors persecuted Archbishop Lefebvre and his priestly Society precisely because he was exposing and denouncing the errors of the Council and using every means (letters, meetings, sermons, conferences etc.) to convince the modernist Roman Authorities to abandon the Council, condemn its poisonous fruits and return to authentic Catholic Tradition.Surely it is not an exaggeration to apply the words of St. Paul quoted above to the Council which has in word and deed preached to the Catholic Faithful and the world a Gospel different from the one which has been preached for two thousand years !
Equality, Fraternity) gaining influence and control of the life of the Church. It is the spirit of compromise whereby the Church seeks common ground with the world, a spirit and practical relationship with persons and organisations outside Catholic Unity which is completely alien and anathema to the Catholic Faith. Christ said to His Apostles (and all their successors) “Go and teach all nations, baptising them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost;” He did not say, go and preach ecumenism and religious liberty and organise a religion centred on man and adapt My Truth to what people are prepared to accept. Christs words are clear and unequivocal – “Unless you believe you shall be condemned” “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life” and no-one comes to the Father except through me.”
As we all know and are bearing witness to, the successors of our dear Archbishop have abandoned the principles he passed on to his priestly society and seen fit to work towards a practical agreement with modernist Rome without their conversion to Catholic Tradition. They no longer see, or refuse to see, that the crisis of Faith is much worse now than ever and are also
happy to compromise and find a ‘modus vivendi’ with the post conciliar Church and its representatives. This is why we have seen recently the Bishop of Portsmouth make an official visit to St Michael’s School, lead the children in prayer and receive a spiritual bouquet as a token of gratitude ! The Bishop was invited by the Priests of the school with the approval of the highest authorities in the Society of St. Pius X. This is an absolute scandal to all Catholics who see clearly that Archbishop Lefebvre was correct in his understanding of the crisis in the Church and how to combat and resist it and in God’s good time, overcome it. “Overcome evil by good – that is the evil and bad fruits of the Council with the good of Tradition and sound doctrine.I would like to quote from the statement I made in May 2015 (to further clarify the Bishop’s visit to the school) when I met the then 2 nd Assistant to Bishop Fellay Father Nely. “Just to go back to June 2012. I was at Econe for my Priestly Jubilee and the atmosphere was tense to say the least. I wanted to speak to Fr. Nely who as the second assistant was one of Bishop Fellays close advisors. He agreed to receive me and I expressed my concerns about a purely practical agreement with Rome without their genuine conversion to Tradition. I then put to him the question: was it no longer possible for the Society to hold to the position laid out by the Archbishop, which is the MIDDLE COURSE (that is neither modernist and liberal on the one hand, nor sedevacantist on the other) ? He did not answer the question directly, but said that a whole generation of Catholics are growing up not knowing what it is to be in a normal relationship with Rome. That is not normal he said and if we don’t do something about our Canonical situation then we will become schismatic or sedevacantist. It was a very interesting revelation of what thinking lay behind this new strategy of negotiation with Rome on the part of Menzingen. It said it all in fact. The problem was not with modernist Rome but with the Society which was in an abnormal situation !”
Therefore, the visit of the Bishop of Portsmouth to St. Michaels School on 8 th March is putting into effect perfectly the long term strategy of the New Society explained by Fr. Nely in 2012. We can virtually say that it is ‘consummated’ as the Priests refer to the Bishop as their local Bishop, that is as the ecclesiastical authority who grants jurisdiction and that has certainly now been granted for marriages. The Bishop of Portsmouth is modernist and was the representative of the modernist and post conciliar authorities responsible for destroying the Church . Afterall, he says the New Mass, gives Communion in the hand, preaches ecumenism and believes in Religious Liberty. Since the Society no longer believes that there is a serious crisis in the Church, they no longer think in terms of the principal of ‘Supplied Jurisdiction’ (which the Society relied on under the Archbishop) because we had no confidence in the modernist authorities and hierarchy.
St. Michael’s School is a Society of St Pius X school in name only and by inviting the local Bishop, the Priests of the school have more in common with the Fraternity of St. Peter than they have with Archbishop Lefebvre and his faithful sons and children and the Archbishop was without any doubt a true son of the Church and in full communion with it. The Sisters who departed from St. Michaels School over a week ago, had no choice but to leave
and in doing so they have our full support and admiration. May Jesus and Mary protect them and bless them and may the Priests of the District and sons and heirs of the Archbishop, pray for the courage and strength to do likewise and with the freedom and liberty of the children of God, fight the good fight without compromise or restraint.Father Brendan King
