Franciscans of the Immaculate : the issue is no more the Latin Mass

 There is no more a Commissar for the Franciscans of the Immaculate. The priests who make up the new administration reject Tradition by accepting Vatican Council II interpreted only irrationally. The founder of the community Fr. Stefano Manelli fi has been set aside since he rejects Vatican Council II interpreted ir-rationally.

The new administration needs to affirm Vatican Council II (rational) and ask Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda sj, the former Commissar, to do the same.

When they interpret Vatican Council II rationally then they could be expelled. For then they would be affirming the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) with no known exceptions. The Jewish Left and the Vatican did not accept this when it was done by the SSPX General Statement 2012. Morally this is the thing to do for a Catholic - interpret the Council rationally.

So the issue now is no more the Latin Mass.Since if the FFI accepted Vatican Council II ( irrational) they could be allowed to offer the Latin Mass as in the case of the FSSP, ICKTKGS etc.

The issue is :is Vatican Council II interpreted with a rational or irrational premise. If those who offer the Novus Ordo Mass interpret the Council in harmony with the Council of Florence (1442) they will be expelled. But this is the right thing to do for a Catholic.  -Lionel Andrades
