He is currently the Apostolic Administrator of the Personal Apostolic Administration of Saint John Mary Vianney, which is also called the Priestly Union of Saint Jean-Marie Vianney. LifeFernando Arêas Rifan was born in São Fidélis in the diocese of Campos, Brazil and was ordained as a priest of that diocese on 8 December 1974. He joined the Priestly Union of Saint Jean-Marie Vianney, founded by Bishop Antônio de Castro Mayer, who was Bishop of Campos from 3 January 1949 until his retirement on 29 August 1981, and who had refused to accept in his diocese the revision of the liturgy of the Roman Rite by Pope Paul VI. On 30 June 1988, Rifan acted as assistant presbyter at the Ecône Consecrations by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and Bishop Castro Mayer. On Bishop Castro Mayer's death on 25 April 1991, the Priestly Union, also known as the Sacerdotal Society of St. John Marie Vianney, chose as its leader Licínio Rangel, who was then given episcopal consecration by three of the four bishops of the closely associated Society of St. Pius X. As a result of contacts initiated by Darío Castrillón Hoyos, Cardinal President of the Ecclesia Dei Commission in 2000, the members of the priestly union formally requested on 15 August 2001 reconciliation with the Holy See, as a result of which the Personal Apostolic Administration of Saint John Mary Vianney was established with effect from 18 January 2002, with Bishop Rangel as Apostolic Administrator. For health reasons, Bishop Rangel asked Pope John Paul II for an auxiliary bishop, but the Pope recommended a coadjutor bishop. The Pope had promised to ensure episcopal succession for the Apostolic Administration, and a coadjutor would have automatic right of succession. Accordingly, Rifan, whom Bishop Rangel had chosen as his vicar general, was appointed Titular Bishop of Cedamusa and Coadjutor to the Apostolic Administrator on 28 June 2002. His episcopal ordination was held on 18 August 2002, with Cardinal Castrillón as principal consecrator, assisted by Bishop Rangel and Archbishop Alano Maria Pena of Niterói. On Bishop Rangel's death on 16 December 2002, Bishop Rifan thus immediately became head of the Apostolic Administration. ViewsIn his first pastoral letter to the clergy, religious, associations and other faithful of the Apostolic Administration,[1] Bishop Rifan stressed the importance of the papal mandate or canonical mission given to him, quoting the Council of Trent's anathema against any who would say that one who lacks it is a lawful preacher of the word of God and minister of the sacraments. He also warned those to whom he addressed his pastoral letter against two errors. One is heresy, attacks against the traditional Faith. He saw as a defence against that the traditional Latin liturgy and liturgical discipline that the Apostolic Administration keeps. The other error is schism, attacks against the unity of governance of the Church. Members of the Apostolic Administration must be on their guard against this too, he said, especially since their rightful efforts to preserve the Catholic faith had some unfortunate effects, in particular the onset of "a certain schismatic spirit that showed itself in a general taste for systematic criticism of Church authorities, a spirit of resistance, disobedience, disrespect, suspicion, backbiting, independence from the Church's Hierarchy and Magisterium, contentment with the abnormality of the situation, uncharitableness, a feeling of owning the whole of truth, a sectarian attitude that made us out to be the only good people ... with the underlying notion that 'the gates of Hell' had prevailed against the Church – something that, through the infallible help of our Saviour, is impossible." In another pastoral letter, written on the occasion of the election of Pope Benedict XVI as Pope, Bishop Rifan declared very pertinent to the present moment the words of Pope Pius XII in his encyclical Mystici Corporis, 41: "They, therefore, walk in the path of dangerous error who believe that they can accept Christ as the Head of the Church, while not adhering loyally to His Vicar on earth. They have taken away the visible head, broken the visible bonds of unity and left the Mystical Body of the Redeemer so obscured and so maimed, that those who are seeking the haven of eternal salvation can neither see it nor find it."[2] He has also stated that a "situation of separation of traditional Catholics from the hierarchy, provoked by the crises in the Church, besides being abnormal, must be temporary and momentary; it should inspire in us an anxiety for regularization and union rather than a complacency with our situation."[3] Bishop Rifan cooperated in 2013 with the Compendium of the Traditional Catechism of the Catholic Church, a guided version of Saint John Paul II's Catechism by reviewing and approving the material of the Compendium.[4] In a May 2003 interview with La Nef, Bishop Rifan spoke of the Apostolic Administration's relations with the Society of St Pius X as follows: We have tried to be as friendly as possible with the SSPX and its superiors, but after we had informed them that we had serious reasons for continuing our contacts with Rome, which they did not intend to keep up, they began to criticize us severely, attempting also to dishonour us by putting in doubt our intentions and trying to create divisions among our faithful. After our recognition by the Holy See, the SSPX leadership removed our name from the lists of traditional Masses and began to foster Masses in the areas where we celebrate. Does that mean that the traditional Mass is good only when it is cut off from the Hierarchy? But thank God our faithful distinguish between love for the traditional Mass from the evil attitude that makes the traditional Mass a banner to wave against the Hierarchy.[5] The Society of St Pius X and other traditionalist groups have reproached Bishop Rifan for concelebrating Mass according to the revised rite on 28 May 2011.[6] {{S-start}}{{succession box| before = Licínio Rangel | title = Personal Apostolic Administrator of Saint John Vianney | after = incumbent | years = 16 December 2002–present}}{{S-end}} References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.adapostolica.org/modules/articles/article.php?id=84 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2006-12-04 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927192604/http://www.adapostolica.org/modules/articles/article.php?id=84 |archivedate=27 September 2007 |df=dmy-all }} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.adapostolica.org/modules/articles/article.php?id=86 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2006-12-04 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927192549/http://www.adapostolica.org/modules/articles/article.php?id=86 |archivedate=27 September 2007 |df=dmy-all }} 3. ^Old Rite Renaissance {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060426235324/http://www.ciel-uk.org/html/conf_2003.html |date=26 April 2006 }} 4. ^https://www.amazon.com/Compendium-Traditional-Catechism-Catholic-Church/dp/1491705752 5. ^Una Vox – Documenti 6. ^Video of Bishop Rifan concelebrating Mass according to the present rite, French External links
