Franciscans of the Immaculate under severe Vatican persecution

These documents, and especially the two interventions from Fr. Volpi, speak for themselves and confirm what we already knew: the intervention in the Franciscans of the Immaculate was precipitated by their increasing attachment to Traditional Catholic theological positions -- not just to the Traditional Latin Mass.

It should be noted for the sake of truth that the accusation of "crypto-lefebvrianism" is a red herring: a religious Congregation that in practice continued to celebrate the Novus Ordo in the great majority of its apostolates even as it made liberal use of the provisions of Summorum Pontificum can scarcely be accused of "Lefebvrist" tendencies! The accusations of "embezzlement" (explained at length in the Dec. 8 letter of Fr. Volpi, the 3rd document in this post) also refer to events that occurred after the appointment of Fr. Volpi, and therefore could not be held as the reason for the Vatican's intervention.

Traditionalists are being persecuted all around the world! Incredible the Catholic Church persecuting the Catholic Church, Masons are the ones behind all this. The problem is that this is ALL FRANCIS! He doesn't want ideology and he has his G8 cardinals who reject traditional ways... Oh my dear Jesus let everybody open their eyes and see this abuse from the apostles of the devil himself!

We can clearly see where and how the pressure came from within the Church for the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. When you see that the current 'Pope' is extremely Liberal and the current Guardian of the Congregation of Faith is also a strong Liberal. You look at the words and actions they are using shows that they fit right into the construction of the "City against God- the new Tower of Babel" "the anti-Church"- which is built by human hands. It is against the Orthodoxy of the Church and moral teaching which is an active plan to cause the self-destruction from within. This comes from those who see the Catholic Church as the problem not the solution even with all of the "human" shortcomings. This current focus is on the social aspect and ignore the salvation of souls which is the primary purpose of the Church. Besides the extrenal discrimiation this is internal discrimination against the Church that only adds to the external discrimiation and active attacks against the Church.

They suffer the syndrome of Catholic- Phobia

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
