I NTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND EDITION 3<br />

The doctrine presented in this book, dear reader, is not mine,<br />

“it is that which I have received, which I pass on to you” (I Cor.<br />

11:23, 15:3), it is the age-old doctrine <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Catholic</strong> Church.<br />

One can see the divine Providence in the struggle <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

Saint <strong>Pius</strong> X to uphold the doctrine <strong>of</strong> the Fathers against the followers<br />

<strong>of</strong> Fr. Feeney. Indeed, the great crisis <strong>of</strong> the Church is indubitably<br />

a crisis <strong>of</strong> fidelity to Tradition. The authority <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Church is not above the deposit <strong>of</strong> Faith; authority has been given<br />

by Our Lord to Peter and the Apostles in the service <strong>of</strong> the Truth;<br />

its duty is to uphold it and to pass it on, not to change it to fit the<br />

modern world. Fighting against the novelties introduced by the<br />

Second Vatican Council on the liberal side, the <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> Saint<br />

<strong>Pius</strong> X has been accused <strong>of</strong> following their own private judgment.<br />

The occasion <strong>of</strong> this struggle against the followers <strong>of</strong> Fr. Feeney<br />

manifests that the rule we follow is the rule <strong>of</strong> Faith given by Tradition;<br />

we do not change an iota. We simply want to be faithful to<br />

the Church’s unchangeable teaching, not following our own judgment,<br />

but holding fast to that which has been handed down to us<br />

by the Church.<br />

May <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Pius</strong> X help us to remain faithful, and may all these<br />

holy doctors, whose doctrine we defend, give every reader <strong>of</strong> this<br />

book the light and love to humbly receive their doctrine, in order<br />

to go to heaven with them. O Mary, Seat <strong>of</strong> Wisdom, pray for us!<br />

Rev. Fr. François Laisney
