Recusant Mar/Apr - Heresy of Evolution

“I read Genesis in the way that the Catholic Church has directed her children to read it. The Church indicates that Genesis 1 is meant to teach us important dogmas of faith, but is not meant to teach us science. […] In the 20th century science provided solid, empirical evidence that our universe began with a huge burst of energy 13.7 billion years ago.” - Fr. Paul Robinson SSPX, interview with US District website, 12th March 2018

Thank you to the Recusant for bringing all this to light in this issue:

Evolution equals modernism. It is the heresy of our age. Plenty of Traditional Catholics are still somewhat unclear on the issue, and even if you are not one of those, you still have a duty to get your family, friends relations, coworkers, anyone within your reach, to stop believing in it. How are you going to do that? By persuading them. If nothing else we will, I hope, have given you plenty of ammunition in this issue to use in the fight against these evil ideas.

The heresy of Evolution is the foundation and cornerstone of virtually all the errors of the modern world. It makes feminism inevitable since Eve was not created from the side of Adam and therefore there is no real reason why a woman should in any way be subject to a husband. It makes the ecology/‘Green’ movement look almost rational, since there is, according to evolutionist doctrine, no essential difference between mankind and the other plants and animals, merely an evolutionary continuum (all animals and plants, including humans, are all distant cousins, being descended from a common ancestor), hence human beings can be seen as parasites on the face of ‘mother earth.’ It excuses the rampant materialism, corruption and greed of an era in which “charity has grown cold,” since, after all, material comfort, success and advancement is all there is; selfishness is not only permissible, nay, it is a positive good to be celebrated, since that is what evolution expects and requires, the survival and advancement of the superior over the inferior of a species. Need we add that the eugenics movement was born as a direct result of evolutionary dogma? If ‘the survival of the fittest’ (and its corollary, ‘the perishing of the weakest’) is how we advance, then it makes sense to weed-out the weaker elements from the human gene pool. Shall we also point out that abortion and euthanasia make perfect sense in its light? After all, why should a society protect the weakest and most defenceless? The weak must perish, that’s how natural selection works, that’s how we advanced to our current state in the first place, over the last few million years. And besides, if we kill animals and animals kill each other all the time, what’s so different about a ‘foetus’ anyway..?

Marxism and Communism, Freud and all the horrors of modern psychology and so much else besides are also the direct offspring of evolutionary doctrine, as their respective authors were quite happy to admit. And of course, it led, as we saw in the editorial last month, directly to the crisis of modernism within the Church. What is more, just as the crisis in the Church is deepening, just as modernism is spreading throughout what was once ‘Tradition,’ so now it ought to be no surprise at all to learn that the Society of St Pius X has come out promoting several key tenets of this essentially Godless, materialist doctrine. As the article on p.42 shows, Fr. Paul Robinson of the SSPX is a ‘Big Bang’ proponent, believing as a fact that the Universe is 13.7 billion years old, for which he claims there is empirical evidence (though he doesn’t seem to say what that evidence is. We contend that there is none. Can anyone prove us wrong, please?). The SSPX are promoting him and his work. It is horrifying, and yet at the same time it is only logical, we ought to have expected to see this happening sooner or later.

In this issue the reader will find the topic dealt with from a number of different angles. The inherent weaknesses in the method of using carbon dating to determine age; the insanely blasphemous implications of so-called “theistic evolution”; the miserable failure to find a “missing link”; the claims of geologists looking at fossils in their fake “geological column” and more besides. We have also included a bit about where the heresy of evolution leads, and the teaching of the Church, but we have tried not to rely solely on these things. They are useful arguments to use on a believing Catholic, but may not work on their own with many people out there. Since we want to equip you to deal with the world in general and to convince anyone and everyone that evolution is a gigantic fraud, we have tried also to focus on the inconsistencies in the thing itself. Even people who do not (yet) accept the authority of the Church or Sacred Scripture must accept some of the problems inherent in evolution and evolutionary cosmology on its own terms. Make good use of it. The evidence it out there: you just need to be brave enough to bring it to the attention of your friend, neighbour, colleague, or relative. Good luck, and may God’s grace and the Holy Ghost inspire you to say the right thing. He won’t let you down. Happy Easter to all of you, friend and foe alike!

Holy mackerel!!!   We never expected we'd ever live to see such changes in the SSPX one after another.   And now a neoSSPX priest teaching evolution with the Society assisting by their promotion of him and the book.
It was not so long ago we had a series of catechism classes from the SSPX priests using science pointing out the errors and fraud of evolution. 
Now the SSPX is promoting evolution!  This is crazy enough but the worst part is that the SSPX priests, you know the ones we believed were fighting the errors of modernism, are saying NOTHING.   Quiet as church mice.  That's what Bishop Fellay has turned the SSPX priests into little mice and bunny rabbits.  


Fr. Hewko - How to make bunny rabbits out of priests.

The interesting thing is, this effort by the sspx to become ever more closely intertwined with the church of the council, these machinations with regard to evolution are over and above what would be required for the average sspx layperson to mentally align with an unconverted Rome.

Its almost as if its done as an overture to Rome to show the extent of the sspx's modernism. The average sspx layperson isn't looking for, nor anticipating a platform that supports evolution. But the liberals in the conciliar church are surely comforted by such a platform. Its just another sign that despite its smells and bells of tradition, the n-sspx is corrupted on the inside with modernism. And the many proofs of such modernism in only this once instance are incredible:

1. The very premise of Fr. Robinson that there is evidence of a big bang creation and not a purposeful creation by a Creator. This is an offense against the Blessed Trinity Itself.  (Fr. Paul Robinson is a seminary professor in the sspx Holy Cross seminary in Golburn, Australia.)


2. This book spouting such nonsense is being promoted by the n-sspx: sspx.org/en/news-events/news/sspx-seminary-professor-releases-new-book-realist-guide-religion-and-science-35424  Fr. Robinson has been touring the US giving talks about his book, at sspx expense.


3. This book is printed by a novus ordo publishing company. The sspx has its own publishing company, Angelus Press. Why didn't they print and publish it? They now distribute it within the US but if a copy must be ordered, it is ordered through the novus ordo publishing company. If you were to choose to order the book through Amazon, it is supplied by the novus ordo publisher.


4. The preface to the book was written by a novus ordo priest, who praises the 'saints and blessed popes' of the conciliar church.


5. On the book cover, the author is only listed as 'Paul Robinson', not Father Paul Robinson. Another nod to modernism.



As the good priests of the true resistance have been telling us for the last five to six years, the deed was done when Bishop Fellay - as the titular head of the sspx - signed the Doctrinal Declaration. All that has followed since, including the latest debacles of this book and the sspx marriage situations, is nothing more but the fruit of that poisoned tree that was planted in the heart of the sspx in 2012 with that Declaration. The same way the novus ordo missae is the fruit of the heresies in the documents of Vatican II.

Thanks be to God for good shepards!
