Father
Aulagnier had reacted enthusiastically to the encyclical of the Holy Father,
Ecclesia de Eucharistia. The BTAG received by mail this response which was addressed to him from “Padre Meramo, Prior
de la Fraternidad San Pio X in Columbia”.
Dear Monsieur
abbé Aulagnier,
As up to the present, no one has responded (that I
know of) to your declaration of May 10, 2003, I feel a moral obligation to make
known to you openly and clearly your error, I would say your derailment.
You speak enthusiastically of the return to liturgical
pluralism, the encyclical of the Pope being the root-cause. You rejoice over
pluralism as an ecclesial reality to which one should accustom others. You see
as a victory the Pope has spoken (causa finita est), even if the bishops of
France have a hard time in accepting this. All this is false, absolutely false.
It is a veritable limp, and you indeed will show us, at a Rome prostituting
itself for modernism, the road to take for contaminating us with its apostasy.
It is shameful to speak about liturgical pluralism,
which is abominable to God. The ideal for you is to have a traditional altar in
the pantheon of false religions. We should never confound plurality of rites in
the Church with liturgical plurality, plurality of worship, which is an
abomination as is religious plurality. For there is only one God, a sole truth,
a sole Church, a sole baptism, a sole worship.
Your return to liturgical pluralism is an apostasy, a
limping in combat from Tradition and a betrayal. It is ignoble of one of the
oldest disciples of Mgr. Lefebvre envisions such a thing with the pretension of
passing it on to us.
You speak also about the catholicization of the new
Mass: this is another error which
demonstrates the blindness of whoever says it. One cannot catholicize a
bastard Mass, a bad Mass, as Mgr. Lefebvre calls it. It would be to catholicize
error; and error needs to be corrected, not baptized.
The new Mass has been called a bastard Mass by Mgr.
Lefebvre because it is born of the illegitimate and adulterous copulation
between Catholicism and Protestantism. Such a thing cannot be catholicized,
this being again a limping, an apostasy.
Dear friend, return to the truth. You need to stop
making a shambles amongst us. You are worst than the modernist and liberal
enemy, worst than those who infiltrate, you are the rotten apple which will
contaminate the whole sack.
Excuse me for speaking to you in this way, but one
must tell the truth above all, for it is the truth which saves us and makes us
free. This is why Our Lord told us “veritas liberabit vos” (Jn. 8:32).
Reflect upon this at the foot of the Cross and may the
grace of God enlighten you.
In union of prayer,
Father Basilio
Meramo
