Tema: Ironías: la FSSPX, esos izquierdosos

Buscando información de algunos temas por internet, me encuentro con una curiosa frase:

" Another point, this Old Mass is said by the SSPX whose official organ in the USA - The Angelus - has promoted Leftist, Distributivist and Socialist/Communist causes such as the Catholic Worker Movement."


Está sacada de un un sitio sedevacantista yanqui. En el contexto de la frase, el sitio hace gala de muchos comentarios favorables a la guerra de Irak y al voto a McCain en la pasadas elecciones yanquis, en crítica a un inteligente artículo/comentario del padre Peter Scott (FSSPX) donde indica que no hay ninguna obligación moral católica a votar a McCain como "mal menor" y pone además en duda que sea "menor" que Obama.

El hecho de que pongan "comunista" y "distributista" como conceptos similares, y subrayen que hablar de movimientos obreros católicos es "izquierdista" nos da una idea del palo político de la gente que está hablando.

Y esa es la ironía: da igual lo muy a la derecha que esté uno, siempre habrá quien te considere un sucio izquierdista.

Por cierto, el comentario del padre Scott es bueno y las frases del final son brillantes, lo copio aquí:

Dear Mr. *****,

I thank you for your message, along with the exchange of e-mails.

I have been aware of some time of your strong opinions concerning the McCain campaign. It is not for us, as priests, to make particular determinations in these matters that are much more within the competence of lay Catholics dedicated to Catholic action, but rather to lay out the principles of a Catholic response.

Some refuse the principle of casting one's vote for the lesser evil, which is nothing other than the application of the indirect voluntary. I see that you accept this principle, but simply dispute its application in this particular case. You have every right to do this, since you invoke very strong arguments in favor of this, demonstrating that McCain is not really the lesser evil that he is made out to be by many conservatives. Not only do you, rightly I believe, question that McCain really is pro-life, but you bring into play his many other policies, which are none other than those of the Judaeo-masonic establishment, whose greed has created this terrible economic crisis and the deadly and unjust war in Iraq. Consequently, you have good reason to dispute that he is any significantly lesser evil than Obama.

Although it is true that it can be a moral obligation to vote, this can only be when the candidate is worthy of a Catholic vote. Neither major candidate is. Hence there is no obligation to vote for either. It can never be obligatory to vote for the candidate who is considered to be a lesser evil, for it is a material evil to do so, which cannot be obligatory, but rather a fallible judgment of prudence. No priest can place you under a moral obligation to vote for a particular candidate in this case, nor criticize you, as apparently has been the case, for highlighting the dangers of the so-called "lesser evil". I am sorry to hear that Americans in general are unwilling to accept this. It is because of the deep-seated patriotism, and love of the conservative values of their country. Europeans see much more readily through the plot of conservatism as a vehicle for the revolution.

Yours faithfully in Christ our King and Mary our Queen,

Fr. Peter R. Scott

Que cierta gente te considere socialista debería ser motivo de orgullo.
