It seems that there could be problems with Fr Pfeiffer's Australian apostolate. The poor Australian Resistance faithful have suffered quite a lot since 2012. May they be blessed with regular Mass and sacraments. Let us pray for them.

Not attending the SSPX is one thing because they have deviated from the Faith. However, if you agree that Fr. Pfeiffer is keeping the Faith, which you agree he is doing, then there is no reason (other than the Church's reasons of grave inconvenience, such as sickness) for you not to attend his Mass. Therefore, you would not be fulfilling your Sunday obligation to attend Mass when you could if you chose not to attend his Mass. As a result, I believe it would be a mortal sin not to attend.

Fair enough. I do not mind you telling me your opinion. That is all it is - an opinion. You have your opinions and I have mine and the rest of the laity have theirs. The OP states that the laity are the victims of the priests being at war with one another. Father always said he could only advise. He always said he could not make us do anything - that we all had to decide for ourselves.
Stage 2: He will not say Mass for us any more unless we meet his impossible demands. An official rejection has not been made because we can only speak for ourselves. Read the co-ordinator's final message two posts above*.

What you have not asked, and what might interest you, is that the majority of OLSC members believing totally what Father has taught us - break our necks to get to his Masses and conferences. What better attitude to have than being forced by the punishment of committing a mortal sin? I assure you no-one needs force. Such members have grown so much that they come from long distances, some using public transport back and forth. When Father arbitrarily cancelled the scheduled final Mass in Melbourne he left holy people high and dry. They had no part in the decision making. They would have been able to ask if he had kept his appointment with them. The rejection of his ultimatum was made only by those members who were present to hear them - it was made individually by each member deciding for himself. It was never made for absent members obviously because those present could not speak for those absent. Even those present at the time wanted to discuss it further but the opportunity to do so was cut off. Does not Father have a responsibility to those souls he has left high and dry and for whose souls he is still responsible? His close friends have been defending all his actions out of a sense of loyalty, like many people here who have done the same thing. Has anybody at all understood the seriousness of the situation? Doesn't look like it when you look at all the replies and false interpretations made against our poor efforts.

At least we have tried our best.


*The Coordinator posted:

Fr. Pfeiffer made it clear that if Melbourne did not come under OLMC he would not return. Added to that, he emphasised if we are under OLMC we cannot have any other TRUE RESISTANCE priest to visit Australia. This is the condition underlining the impossibility of agreeing to join OLMC.
Considering he made only two flying visits to Australia last year, and we have no resident priest, the request is unjust.
I draw special attention to this matter because Father has informed me, in an email, that he knew OLSC was involved in negotiations with a priest outside Australia - possibly more.
Having pointed out these things to Father I have received no reply.
Other coordinators have informed me that, what can only be described as an ultimatum, has never been put to them. Nor have any others facts that he mentioned in Melbourne.

Fr Pfeiffer gathers people, teaches them that he's the guy, period, then abandons those people because he is the guy.  What is this teaching???  Is Fr. Pfeiffer the Pope?  Is modernism greater and more powerful than the Heavenly Bread? Their doctrine is ludicrous. No one is saying modernism isn't tearing people away from the true Faith.  But God is not weak! People are torn away through spiritual laziness, and only if they allow it!  Prayerful, sacrificial people who love God simply don't get caught up in the fray. They remain humble, obedient and grief stricken, but Catholic. We all deal with the world.  And steer as clear as possible from the world if we want to save our souls.  But that doesn't mean we have to hide in caves and never go to Mass.  Cave dwelling is a calling, it's not intended for most people, but by priests who can bring themselves the sacraments.  We have to learn to live in an imperfect world and thereby bring grace where needed.  I used to believe Fr. Pfeiffer was the only choice.  Prior to that, I thought the SSPX was the only choice.  Prior to that, I thought the Novus Ordo was the only choice.  The fact is, we do have a choice because Christ DIED to feed His sheep.  Find the best Mass and go to it.  The circuмstances surrounding it may not be perfect. Don't imbibe the modernism.  Do penance for it, even. The Body of Christ is what makes this all work, not saintly priests, sinless sinners, or perfect parishes.    

   

They will be broke soon with all the money the priests in Boston spend on hair dye  :furtive:
