Recently Bishop Ballini visited certain countries in Asia to confer the Sacrament of Confirmation and also to encourage the faithful. Now we have Bishop Pfeiffer in the Philippines, having just also visited Australia. If one compares the photographs of recent SSPX Confirmations in Asia with those of the Resistance, both attracted more or less similar numbers of candidates. The Resistance has a very small priestly force in Asia but are to be much admired for their zeal that more than compensates for their lack of numbers.
