 Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2007 1:51 pm Post subject: The 'Lefebvrite' Lexicon (repost) |
 |
|
Note: Something must be going on somewhere, because I'm seeing the term "Lefebvrists" popping up again. Hence, I thought it would be a good time to repost "The 'Lefebvrite' Lexicon." After all, as Catholics, it is our duty to instruct the ignorant.
The "Lefebvrite" Lexicon (or "Lefebvricon")
By John Grasmeier
Angelqueen.org
October, 2006
Link to original
As a result of all of the media attention being paid to the freeing of the traditional Mass, there has consequently been much attention paid to the traditional Catholic priestly Society of St. Pius X (SSPX). Journalists, bloggers and writers desiring to cover the topic have been forced to become quickly informed on a subject which many had previously known little or nothing about.
Due to their inherent lack of true knowledge, we've witnessed a wide range of unusual terms being used by these journalist to describe SSPX clergy and the congregants who attend their Masses. We've read about "Lefebvrites", "Lefebvrists" and even "Lefebvrians" - whatever those are.
It seems that some calling themselves journalists, insist on employing non-existent pejorative terms to describe their subjects - terms that the subjects have never, nor would ever, use to describe themselves.
For the sake of charity, so that journalists educating themselves on the subject of the SSPX don't appear biased or unintelligent, the following list of terms or "Lefebvricon" is now being made available for reference.
Lefebvrestan - The geographic location where traditional Catholics (aka Lefebvrists, Lefebvrites and Lefebvrians) live. Of course one won't be able to find it on a map, but one won't be able to find any Lefebvrists, Lefebvrites or Lefebvrians either.
Lefebvronian - One who allows traditional Catholicism to influence his political worldview.
Lefebvrenomics - The influence of traditional Catholic values on economic systems.
Lefebvrechist - The more activist type of Lefebvronian. The Lefebvrechist is often a more strident adherent to Lefebvrenomics.
Lefebvresque - The traditional Catholic style of building and church construction.
Lefebvrology - The study of traditional Catholicism.
Lefebvrepology - The study of traditional Catholic history and culture.
Lefebvrecology - The study of the traditional Catholic environment and the natural world.
Lefebvriatrics - The field of traditional Catholic medicine.
Lefebvretrician or Lefebvriatrist - A traditional doctor. Which term is used would depend upon state and local licensing regulations.
Lefebvrechiatry - The study of traditional Catholic psychiatric medicine.
Lefebvrozac - Pills prescribed by the Lefebvrechiatrist in order to manage or relieve the stress that comes with being a traditionalist.
Lefebvrotechnics - The study of traditional Catholic fires and explosions.
Lefebvrionics - Traditional Catholic robot building.
Lefebvrephonics - Traditional Catholic spelling and grammar.
Lefebvrephopia - Fear of traditional Catholics.
Lefebvrophelia - Inordinate attraction to traditional Catholics.
Lefebvriano - Traditional Catholic Italian cuisine.
Lefebvriolis - Small pasta squares stuffed with traditional Catholic cheese or meat.
Lefebvrafia - Traditional organized crime.
The SSPX also has its own month.

Thanks for clearing this up, I thought "lefebvrite" was anything that conformed to the preferences of traditionalists (e.g. lacy vestments, incense, non-heretical bishops, etc.). I guess that must be lefebvorite, as in the Passion of the Christ is my "lefebvorite" movie or Joseph's brothers didn't like him because he was their father's "lefebvorite" son.

I think it's the opposite of a "segregist". |

A guest priest at our church a few weeks ago in his sermon mentioned that there's really no such thing as a "Lefebvrist" or "Lefebvrite", as Archbishop Lefebvre never introduced any new doctrines of his own. It was just a one-sentence remark and not one of his main points, but it stuck in my mind.
And all those EWTN folks who seem to be so happy about Summorum Pontificum owe a huge thanks -- not to mention numerous apologies -- to Archbishop Lefebvre and the SSPX, because without them it would not have happened. Although they knew they couldn't ban it outright, it is apparent that both Paul VI and John Paul II would have been pleased to have the Latin Mass quietly fade away into history. |

Is there an "Lefebvrist" aftershave for attracting traditional Catholic women?

Hmmm - the aftershave looks good but the women doesn't look modest. Maybe try this:

She doesn't? She's standing there looking at the camera wearing a modest dress. May I suggest that if you're expecting your women to perpetually dress as if they're assisting at Mass, your aftershave is not the problem here.
Anyway, in the eye of the beholder I suppose. Is this one any better?
If not, I'll keep editing it for modesty until we find something that suits you. The possibilities are endless.

No, no, no. A "Lefebvrenator" is somebody sent forward in time by an evil robotic regime known as the "Spanish Inquisition" to destroy Modernists before they can give birth to more Modernists.
"Lefebvrenation" consists in the act of destroying or "Lefebvrenating" the person to be "Lefebvrenated" (i.e. the modernist). Ironically, "Lefebvrenating" has a secondary meaning of implanting ideas that will one day cause the destroyed modernist to become yet another of those pesky "Lefebvrites." |

I thought that the opposite of "segregist" was called an "ecumenist." So is an integrist a segregist? And in that case, what the hell is a "segregist"?  |

Lefebvrenator: 1 Any modernists attempting to impersonate a Traditionalist.
2. Any traditionalist who routs the modernist heretics using purely spiritual means eg. Fr Michael McMahon in the Grand Rapids cathedral. |

Fr. McMahon actually offered Mass at OL of Fatima in Richmond, VA about two weeks ago! He is a very good priest.

As Larry the Cable Guy would say, "That's funny right there, no matter who you are."
And if I may revive my own contribution to the earlier thread:
Lefevritarian: A very confused traditional Catholic who does not believe in the Trinity.

Sorry, I can't spell. It should be "Lefebvred".

Reminds me of the Judge Robert Bork confirmation hearings.
| Quote: | | The term "Borked" or "Borking" originated with conservative talk show hosts to describe someone who is denied something earned simply because they either aren't politically correct enough or aren't trusted - usually without cause. The usage is derived from Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork who though eminently qualified was deemed too "conservative" to serve as a Supreme Court judge. |
| Quote: | | Lefebvred: accused of being schismatic and not in communion with Rome for being faithful to traditional Catholicism |
e.g., "I heard there was a group of folks down at St. Sabina's who are circulating a petition to have a Latin Mass there. They have to be Lefebvred immediately." |

You could (Servitium pleeeeeeassssse with your mad blackbelt photoshop skills) go into great depth about the "Marcel Arts" genre of movies. If you thought Shaolin monks were bad a** you should see the Holy Ghost father in action. The dialog could be "OK wiseguy lets see what your liberation theology can do"
So you could define MARCEL ARTS as the docile fighting (for the truth and for the salvation of souls) skill of rebellion without rebelling |
