Paragraphs 106 and 107 from the SSPX Profession of Catholic Faith seem to address Cardinal Fernandez’s statement, “106.I also reject that modern form of personalism which would assign to the Church the mission of safeguarding the dignity of the human person, and of establishing a universal fraternity upon the foundation of this allegedly common dignity of the human race — without making any distinction between, on the one hand, the true dignity of the Christian who renounces sin in order to live according to evangelical morality in the Catholic Church, and, on the other, the false dignity of those who, lost in error and vice, refuse the path of salvation.

107. I reject the falsification that flows from this, which tends to make the Church, if not the servant, at least the collaborator of the world in the realization of its own ideal: that of a purely earthly and temporal peace, founded upon a naturalistic perfecting of humanity, devoid of supernatural perspective. This ideal fosters the independence of man with regard to God, His law, truth, and the good; it implies contempt for the Social Kingship of Christ and for Christendom, and leads ultimately to atheism and the substitution of man for God.

““I firmly believe that everyone will be saved; a belief that is not based on wishful thinking, nor on my compassion for men, but on what I know about God and his concrete plans thanks to his Revelation.”

exactly when did God.. The Father.. The Almighty.. Creator of Heaven and Earth -cancel free will?
