THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
WILL SAVE THE WORLD
WHAT THE CATHOLIC COUNTER-REFORMATION IS ABOUT
An address given by M. Jacques Mourot, Secretary General of the CRC
League,
in the Great Hall of the Mutualité, Paris, on 18th October 1973.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The title of the movement – the League of the Catholic Counter-Reformation –
at whose invitation you are here tonight, is self-explanatory. It is Catholic in every
sense of the word, and never let anyone tell you otherwise! It does not, however, claim
any exclusive right to the title which belongs, by definition, to all the baptised who are
in communion with Rome. At the sane time, it is firmly opposed to the
"Reformation" which is being carried out in the Church from within her own
ranks, for that is something alien to the nature of the Church: to use a phrase coined by
Maurras with respect to the First Reformation, it is a revolt of the individual against
his own species – of the men of the Church against Mother Church herself. Yes,
Catholics who are against the "Reformation". Because we are Catholics, we remain
subject to the Pope and the Bishops – except in so far as our loyalty would offend
against the glory of God and the Traditions of the Church, or that liberty which belongs
to us as Christians. However genuine and loyal our obedience, it will not bow to an abuse
of authority. That would be servility rather than obedience.
Here I should like to express, on behalf of those of us who are members of the CRC1,
how deeply indebted we are to Fr de Nantes, who had foreseen all the present subversion,
even before the days of the Council, and who, throughout its duration, fought with vigour
and lucidity against the reformist innovations contained in its Acts. I should add that he
was, in those days, the only one to have the courage to do so publicly. As a consequence,
things were made difficult for him. But he remains a Catholic priest despite the sanctions
which were imposed upon him. I was present when he celebrated Holy Mass (in the Tridentine
rite - Tr.’s note) at the altar of St Pius X, in St Peter’s Basilica in Rome
itself, in April of this year, without anyone challenging his canonical right to do so.
This should show you that it still remains possible, today, to be a good Catholic even
while rejecting the Reformation and everything pertaining to it. If anyone tells you
otherwise, he is a liar.
The reason why we refuse to have anything to do with this Reformation, is because it is
nothing less than the systematic demolition – carried out swiftly and silently –
of the very fabric of the Church. It involves all her institutions, all that forms an
important part of her – Faith, Sacraments, Discipline, Morals... It is being carried
out at diocesan and also at global level, even to the very centre of Christendom, which is
Rome.
It was as a result of our concern for the life and future of the Church, for the
everlasting welfare of the souls of our children, that we net here for the very first
time, in this same hall, on the 28th February 1969, in order to form a Catholic Front
against the modernist subversion, to fight against the New Catechisms which were being
imposed in our schools. Fr de Nantes was the uncontested leader of this movement which, at
that time, had not been organised into the League. That was why the Holy Office sought in
every possible way to make him recant, and finished by suddenly announcing that he was
"disqualified". In eliminating Fr de Nantes, they would have decapitated
Catholic Traditionalism in France – indeed I would go so far as to say – in the
Church as a whole.
Soon there came the great fight over the New Mass, and it was the uncertainty felt by
many traditionalists that led to the formation of the League. There was an urgent need to
organise ourselves, in order to resist, alas, two opposite forms of extremism. There were,
on the one hand, those who believed that the Faith could best be safeguarded from the
assaults made against it through the changes in the Mass if criticism of these changes
were carried to the extreme of deserting our churches altogether, and on the other, those
who considered that any criticism was incompatible with being a Catholic and who therefore
accepted the innovations. From the beginning of the League, our aim was to remain at an
equal distance from both schism and heresy, and that is still our position today!
Here I must draw attention to a very important point. We all know that the Holy Mass
is, as it were, the heart – the very centre – of the Church. But a diseased
state of the heart can be the result either of some local cause in the organ itself –
and in that case, treatment must be directed at the disordered heart in the otherwise
healthy body – or else, of a disease affecting the whole organism – and in this
case it is the systemic disease which we must treat. That is why Fr de Nantes, while
reminding us of the prime importance of the defence of the Mass, has yet insisted that we
view this in the context of a wider struggle. The degradation of the Liturgy, like the
destruction of everything else in the Church, is the result of a fundamental and universal
cause – of the decision to "reform" the Church, made by Pope Paul VI and
his disastrous Council.
Yes, the time was rife, so he wrote in March 19702 to organise ourselves
into a movement and embark on a task that would be long and hard, without expectation of
immediate results. So the League was formed, and soon reached some 3,000 members. Today,
we are somewhere in the region of 7,000.
Our immediate aim was to comfort the despairing and to calm down the frantic, but we
were equally intent on shaking the conformists and reformists of every shade. To do this
meant attacking the root of the trouble. And so, on the occasion of our first great public
meeting, on 14th October 1971, we heard Brother Bruno of Jesus, the Abbé de Linares, and
the Abbé de Nantes analysing for us the terrible balance sheet of Vatican II3
and showing us the way to the absorbing task of "Preparing Vatican III"4.
To destroy an evil, you must build again on the ruins, and Error can only be effectively
banished if you replace it with Truth.
Well, we gathered here again the following year, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of
that wretched Council, and hear projects for the Constitutions of our future Vatican III.
Nobody who has followed our work over the past years can accuse us of spending our time in
vain laments of the past. At the close of this last meeting5 Father de Nantes
surprised us by the announcement that he proposed to go to Rome and lay before the Holy
Father his charge against the latter for Heresy, Schism, and Scandal; because, whether we
like it or not, in the last resort the responsibility for the Reformation that is taking
place must necessarily lie with the Pope himself. Before the year was out, he would have
laid at His Holiness’s feet a "Libellus Accusationis" in which the Pope
– as the Supreme Judge in matters of Faith and Morals – would be requested to
pass judgement upon his own acts. Moreover, Fr de Nantes invited us to take part in this
work, for he did not wish the task – or the honour – to be that of one man
alone.
However unrealistic this promise seemed at the time, it was kept, and, on 10th April,
ten Brothers of the Community and fifty representatives of the League were gathered around
Fr de Nantes, when he took the book containing his charge against the Pope to the Vatican
Palace. You all know what happened: we were refused admission and had the Italian police
trailing around after us for the following three days. One of our representatives – I
can tell you now that it was M. de Cointet, head of the Circle at Pau – threw himself
at the Holy Father’s feet during the Public Audience on 11th April, and placed the
book in his hands. He was arrested, questioned by the police, and finally expelled from
Italy, but he refused to take back the Book which must have burnt the hands of its august
Recipient. We left Rome saddened, but with the first part of our mission accomplished. The
Pope had been made undeniably aware of the suspicion with which some members of the Church
regard his innovations. As he has not agreed to our request, we must continue insisting,
with all filial respect, until he is finally obliged to take notice.
That is why the CRC is now so busy spreading the Liber Accusationis, which has been
translated into English, German, Spanish, and Italian. It is soon to be presented to the
members of the College of Cardinals and to the Clergy of Rome, for Fr de Nantes is
planning shortly to visit Rome again for this purpose. The organisers of the CRC in the
various dioceses will present copies to their Bishops, and request these to read the book.
And we should like to ask all of you, after you have read it, to give it to priests and
the more concerned among the faithful, and thereby help to hasten the victory of truth and
justice, however high the cost, for then only will the Church return to her unity in
charity – and in her Liturgy.
What else can we do for the Church? There were plenty who forecast that if our plan
were to fail, we should have no option but to leave the Church. How far this is from the
thought of Fr de Nantes, you will hear in a moment, when he addresses you.
"There is agreement among the most prominent and best informed Catholics on the
serious peril in which the Church in France finds herself today.
"And the danger does not come from her usual opponents – that is, her natural
enemies – the Protestants and the Freethinkers, and wicked people of every category
– against these, she can always hold her own. No, this most dangerous of all assaults
comes from within the heart of her own sanctuary. The revolt springs from among priests
and even bishops. We see it assuming various forms and even, in certain cases, hiding
behind a semblance of filial submission to the Pope and his Infallibility. But, whatever,
the appearances, the fact is that the ancient Faith is being shaken, the Dogmas trodden
underfoot, as a result of the blows systematically struck by none other than members of
the clergy. We have been seeing, in recent years, that while certain priests are intent,
despite everything, on remaining priests, and are busy preparing for us a New Church which
differs on certain essential points from the one we have always known, there is an
increasing number of others who, driven by their reason to draw the logical conclusion of
the principles which they hold, throw off their cassocks and depart."
The above are the opening lines of an anonymous article which appeared… on 1st
January 1903! Leo XIII was nearing his end, and during the long reign of this liberal
Pope, Modernism had been allowed to spread in universities and seminaries… And now,
speculation in well-informed circles had it that Cardinal Rampolla would be elected as his
successor. A masonic Pope! That would indeed be the end of the Church!
It seemed an Act of Providence that Rampolla, who was indeed elected, was forced by the
veto of Austria to make way for Giuseppe Sarto. As Pius X, the latter chose for his motto:
"Omnia instaurare in Christo". We have all but forgotten that crisis in
the Church, seventy years ago. The situation today is strikingly similar to it, though it
is far graver still – but let us find hope in that miracle of 1903!

THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD IN PERDITION
(Address by the Abbé de Nantes)
Our country, France, the Church – the whole world – are heading for ruin.
Inevitably, to all appearances. The most terrible thing is that this is the direct result
of the actions and ideas, and the desires, of the people of today. We cannot claim that
they are being driven to their ruin against their will. Our modern society – so full
of pride and self-satisfaction – is being crushed to death by the blows of three
pagan deities – Eros, Polemos, Thanatos: I will not say, Love, War, and Death,
for Love can be the noblest of sentiments; while War can be a Crusade, and Death is, for
the Christian, the most sublime moment of his existence. But Eros is the pagan idol of
lust; Polemos is the cruel violence and terror which ravages peaceful cities; and Thanatos
is the suicide of a society which is assisting with loud cheers at its own destruction.
Our Rulers – both ecclesiastical and civil – seem to have accepted all this
with resignation. No longer concerned about upholding the Divine Law, they are placing
their faith in that tyrannical mistress Public Opinion, raising it to the status of an
infallible moral conscience. Did not the Pope, speaking on Sunday, 7th October, express
his "invincible confidence in the increasing soundness of international opinion which
had become more and more energetic in its condemnation of violence and bloodshed".
And then he went on "to prostrate himself at the feet of mankind, beseeching them not
to carry the struggle to its extreme limits, etc." Even in Rome itself, Public
Opinion takes precedence over Law, and it is the occult Powers of the world which are at
work shaping the former. In this way, evil can be certain of always having the upper hand.
To whom, then, can we turn?
Eros, Polemos, Thanatos. The peoples want to satisfy their lust, their urge for
violence and death. Or – if they do not want to – there is always somebody
prepared, with the blessing of Church and State, to convince them that they do.
EROS
I don’t want to say anything about films… but I felt sick, recently, on
reading a favourable review of one of these. Surely the public would not bear to look at
anything so disgusting? But I hear that the film in question is now touring the provinces.
Then there are the nudist colonies, of which we have seen a sudden proliferation. A
particularly large one is being built with credit supplied by the big Banks… And our
Bishops say not a word!
1. ABORTION
However, these are mere details. There are matters more important, such as Abortion.
1884 saw the first onslaught on the divine institution of marriage, with the introduction
of divorce, in France. Much more recently, there was the legalisation of contraception.
Until today we are being inundated with masses of falsified statistics all out to show
that legalised abortion is the very last word in solving all our ills.
So we have the incitement to lust carried to the limit of killing one’s own
children. Abortion is, in the words of the Council, "an abominable crime". There
is nothing more to say about it. The killing of an innocent in his mother’s womb is a
crime calling to God for vengeance. But such is the effect of concerted propaganda,
directed against this certain knowledge which forms part of our Faith, that perfectly
decent folk have been heard speaking in favour of abortion, at least for
"therapeutic" reasons.
And our Bishops? They are no longer prepared to say even what they insisted upon at the
Council, when they were anxious to admit contraception as "a lesser evil", and
so had every reason to condemn abortion. They are not prepared to forfeit their
"openness to the world" even if they could thereby save hundreds of thousands of
innocent lives. Their Lordships do not care if they have incurred the wrath of God –
the Defender of innocents.
But what can we do about it? Your democratic power – by election or referendum
– is only an illusion – powerful to bring about evil, but powerless for good.
You cannot defend something absolute by appealing to public opinion. To put a sacred law,
an innocent life, at the mercy of public opinion is already tantamount to committing the
crime. While there is a minority of people positively interested in changing the law (i.e.
in making abortion legal - Tr.’s note), the great majority of ordinary citizens know
nothing about what is involved and are not prepared to stick their necks out in order to
uphold the "prohibition" of a crime which means nothing to them, when the
Government – and the Bishops – allow them to believe that they are voting merely
for a "prudent liberalisation" of the law of 1920.
And so I made the suggestion that we should kill the murderers1. Surely that
would be entirely moral and lawful? Nevertheless I have received a lot of criticism for
saying that. The thought of some 300,000 abortions seems to be less shocking than that of
stabbing the Archbishop of Paris… I suppose I must admit that this would not solve
anything. But we must in all justice demand at least the sacking of these baby-killers.
The Pope has spoken on the subject on several occasions, and has recalled the
Church’s constant teaching… and he has let it go at that. Yet there is still in
existence – to the best of my knowledge it has not yet been abrogated – the
Church’s Canon Law. Article 2350 imposes a de facto excommunication upon all
who carry out abortions, or allow an abortion to be carried out on themselves, as well as
on their accomplices. An effective weapon, surely? So why do the Pope and the Bishops not
make use of it?
2. SEX INSTRUCTION
Today the last word in sex morality is to know how to enjoy it all without any risk of
undesirable consequences – in other words, by preventing conception or destroying
one’s children in utero. But with regard to those children who are – by
accident or design – allowed to come into the world, they must have their
souls sullied from the most tender age. Because we are now a country where "sex
instruction" has, by law, to be given in all schools from the age of seven years
– erstwhile the age of First Holy Communion.
I am not a prude – but I must admit that I did not see any point in needlessly
soiling my eyes and my soul by looking at the manuals prepared for the use of infants2.
Thanks to the papers I know enough about them to be filled with fury against a society
which is evidently intent upon the corruption of its youth. It was all announced in a
circular by M. Fontanet – who likes to think of himself as a good Catholic –
dated 23rd July, and we have not heard a word against it. La Croix has gone out of
its way to applaud the proposed instruction to be given in schools, discussing the various
reasons for justifying the dropping of all inhibitions on sex. Then it goes on to consider
the extent to which adults should seek to exert influence on the young people in their
approach to the "more personal and moral" aspects of sex. Should they maintain a
strictly "Socratic" attitude, merely giving them the necessary information to
foresee the consequences of their acts and leave them free to decide for themselves,
without the adult "guide" adding his own preconceptions? That approach would
seem perfectly acceptable to La Croix, though the paper prefers the alternative,
where the teacher, while respecting the "autonomy" of the young, is not afraid
of expressing his personal view. "To be able to make up their own minds, they need to
experience a consistent attitude in the adults. Granted, there are different types of
consistency in matters of sex, and Christians cannot claim to have a monopoly on the
question"(!)
Then there is the diocesan weekly of Rouen, with its review, by Rev. MacAvoy SJ of a
selection of the manuals of sex instruction. (There follow several paragraphs of
quotations from the manuals, as cited by the Jesuit. These advocate "masturbation as
a normal and useful stage in development, discuss the "advantages" of premarital
relationships as a preparation for marriage, consider homosexuality as a normal way of
life, etc, etc.) Why is the Bishop of Rouen not charged with incitement of juveniles to
corruption, when he permits his official publication to recommend these pornographic
manuals?
POLEMOS
Politics is another field where lies and murder are today in full swing. Moreover, it
is by and large the same people who gather in the "anti-bomb" demonstrations and
so on, who are also clamouring for abortion and the removal of all curbs on sexual
licence. The worshippers of Eros and Polemos are the same – hippies and drug addicts,
anarchists and "prophets" both Christian and Marxist. For both these deities are
working for the destruction of our native country, our civilisation and our Church, and
their method is to deliver people up to their own uncontrolled instincts and passions.
Two episodes have recently brought home the extent to which the representatives of the
Church have allied themselves with the worst of the agitators.
First, the "Portuguese Massacres" in Mozambique. When the report first
appeared in July, in the London Times, it was taken up with relish by Le Monde and La
Croix. The novelty about this otherwise old-style anti-colonial agitation is that the
whole story is based exclusively on the testimony of Catholic priests – Fr Adrian
Hastings from England, five Spanish Missionaries who had either been expelled from
Mozambique or imprisoned for taking part in the Frelimo’s guerilla warfare, and two
Dutchmen. What a guarantee of impartiality!
As for the evidence – the place where the massacres were supposed to have taken
place, Wiriyamu, seems not to exist at all. A well-known French weekly gave substance to
the accusations by publishing photographs of some of the cruelties being carried out, in
the presence of one of our missionaries, no doubt, who had taken care to come armed with
his camera. Unfortunately, as we learn from the October issue of Spectacle du Monde,
the identical pictures had already appeared in a Communist paper in 1961. And so we have
the humiliating realisation not only that Catholic missionaries are actively supporting a
terrorist insurrection, but that the Catholic media and prominent Church authorities, even
the Pope himself, are taking the side of the rebels. Only Mgr Custorido Alvis Pereira,
Archbishop of Lourenco Marques, denied the allegations in The Times, saying they
were "pure invention" by "Christian Marxists" seeking to further their
political ends. He was not taken seriously!
Then there is Chile. Here too, the whole world, as well as the Church, has been ardent
in its support for "democracy" against the "Junta". Paul VI expressed
his consternation at the "sad news of the violent repression in Chile", and so
did our Bishops whose Marxist thinking leads them to see all international events through
distorting red spectacles. That the Communist Freemason Allende is the saviour of his
people, and the generals who rose to put an end to the "experiment", wild beasts
filled with the lust for repression, torture and assassination, is a foregone conclusion.
When the Archbishop of Santiago said that "the Pope must have been ill informed about
the events in Chile", La Croix refers to it in the conditional – the
Archbishop "is supposed to have said…", while the crimes of the Junta merit
the indicative. Except for those in Chile who have learned to their own cost, the Church
of today is always ready to take the side of the Marxist and the Mason against the
Catholic or the Nationalist… We can expect these same bishops to be equally ready to
welcome Communism when it reaches our own country!
But when Arabs armed by Moscow fight against Israelis supported by the Jews of New
York, our prophets are driven into embarrassed silence. Which side are they to
support, when both are enemies of Christianity. If they take sides in this conflict, they
will soon be at each others’ throats, as they know. So much for their Gospel-inspired
pacifism.
THANATOS
Where Polemos and Eros reign, death is never far away. I do not here mean the certain
death which awaits the unwanted babies conceived through their parents’ lust, or the
victims of terrorism and revolution. I mean, the death awaiting us as a nation, a society,
and Christendom itself – like that of the man who jumps to his death when he has
tasted to the very dregs all the sinful pleasures that life has to offer.
Yes, the whole world seems to be filled with a passion for suicide, and this is shared
by the "soul of the world" – the Church.
The fight over the Catechism is over, because children the world over are being taught
a third rate substitute for the Faith, and grow up in ignorance of the Truth, while the
tiny minority privileged to be initiated into the true Credo are coming to look upon this
as some esoteric teaching which has become "divisive" rather than unifying.
The fight over the Mass is in abeyance because the adversary has gone into hiding and
refuses to defend himself. M. Madiran has accused the French Bishops of that grave heresy
of holding the Mass not to be a true Sacrifice – the bloodless Re-enactment of
Calvary. He based his charge on certain texts which they have caused to be spread in their
dioceses, and not one bishop has deigned to reply… Which is bound to confirm the
suspicion that he is right! It would seem to be only a matter of time before this heresy
has spread widely among priests and faithful, and that will be the end of the Mass, and of
supernatural life!
The end of the Catechism and the destruction of the Mass are the first signs of the
extinction of the Priesthood. It is out of date to be clamouring for the ordination of
married men today! It is the essence of the Priesthood itself which is being denied. Soon
every little "basic community", convinced of its own collective priesthood, will
simply delegate this collective power to its chosen "president" – priest or
minister, single or married, man or woman – who will then preside at the
"assembly". And so, without any assault from outside, or formal capitulation, we
shall have become Protestants!
The Church is committing suicide through any number of little acts which perhaps pass
unnoticed because of their negative nature – the withholding of her sanctifying grace
– by refusal to baptise, refusal to marry on the pretext that civil marriage is good
enough, refusal to encourage vocations because they have "no future""
The Church is drifting to her death.
So, what are we to do? We cannot bear to live in a society ruled over by Eros, Polemos
and Thanatos, which have usurped the place of Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother. If it
were a political party, we could simply resign. But we cannot leave the Church, whatever
the affronts and torments, the scandals and perils, we have to endure, because we belong
to her indefectibly. There is no salvation for us outside the Church. But are we to accept
the death of our Church and our civilisation – a Fall of Rome like the Fall of
Constantinople in 1453? If we believe in God, we can believe in a miracle which only He
can perform… Let us therefore dedicate ourselves to the Sacred Heart.

ACT OF CONSECRATION
TO THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS
Oh Sacred Heart of Jesus, Salvation of the world, in these days of distress we turn our
eyes and hearts to Thee, living symbol of Love and of the tender mercy of Our God. In Thee
we find hope and strength, through Thee and for Thee we wish to pray, to offer expiation
and be converted, in order to plead with Thee and bring down on our countries, on the
Church and the whole world, the miracle of Thy Blessings. We have read and meditated Thy
messages and we know that when all is lost and there is no salvation in any man, nor
anything of this world, yet if a few souls devote themselves to Thy worship, Thou wilt
give to the earth saints, who will fulfil Thy designs and bring about Thy Triumph. We have
learned what our fathers did to obey Thy commands and how Thou didst spare them in spite
of the unfaithfulness, lukewarmness and even hostility of the greater number. But we have
understood through so many revelations, all recognized and propagated by The Holy Church,
that the principal of the promises is still held in reserve, and that a more fervent, more
wholehearted, more trusting and sincere consecration on the part of Thy faithful in answer
to Thy demands should be the occasion of their fulfilment.
Lord Jesus must the earth tremble on its foundations, must the Church be in ruins and
the throne of Peter overturned, must our countries be near the abyss and cast in a torrent
of corruption, must the third world war threaten before Christian hearts turn towards
Thee? Or do we need the most appalling catastrophes and the chastisement of Thy outraged
Justice, as at the time of the Flood, before our hearts are touched and we turn truly to
Thee in penitence and sincere love. Oh Divine Heart of Jesus have mercy on us, sanctify
us, forgive us. Make us soldiers of Thy glorious combat and servants of Thy altars, the
ardent and devout propagators of Thy worship. Each one of us feels drawn to this Holy
League of faithful committed by a bond of fidelity and special love for Thee. We shall
wear Thy emblem, we shall honour Thy picture in our houses. We shall go to visit Thee and
pray to Thee in Thy churches and make pilgrimages to Thy sanctuaries, principally those of
Montmartre and Paray le Monial. We shall give to Thee the intimacy of our hearts and
submit to Thee our social lives.
We wish for Thy reign to come amongst us in a full and universal manner. We repudiate
the principles and the death of the modern world – laicism, naturalism, liberalism,
socialism, democracy, in so far as they refuse Thy Divine Sovereignty over our families,
our work, our countries and the entire world, which belongs to Thee. Reign as Sovereign on
the Cross over our souls and bodies, in our families and universities, our cities and
armies, in all our nations, over the entire world, in all and through all. We, who are
Thine, decide to sacrifice our ideas and worldly interests to think of Thee and Thy Divine
Will for salvation, and we hope, not out of consideration for our merits but of Thy
promises, to make Thy light gleam in a world shaken by storms, covered with the enormous
pest of impiety, poisoned by sinister forebodings, already afflicted by a thousand sores.
Thou hast promised us this sweet light, Thou who gavest Thy Heart and Precious Blood on
The Cross for the salvation of the world. Finally the time of the Sacred Heart has come.
The time of Thy great triumph over peoples has come; the time of Thy conquering brilliance
over the pagans, the Muslims and the Jews, the time for the reunion of all divided
Christians in Thy unique fold, the One Holy Catholic Church. Yes the time of Thy miracle
has come, for the world is near to perishing. Let apostles arise in Thy Church who will be
peaceful, humble, pious, pure, loyal souls, consecrated to the worship of the Sacred Heart
of Jesus, and the world will be saved.
Given at Paris on Thursday the 18th October
in the year of Grace 1973, by the Abbé Georges de Nantes. |
