Let the college close and join the ranks of the dusty forgotten.

We could sit here and complain but it is the students who have to act. If teh students dont do anything then it may be because they don't care. What a shame.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Given the nature of this controversy there appears to be students and parents on both sides of the spectrum. Of course those who are R&R are more likely to act to save the college, while those who are not R&R are more likely to have formulated and executed an exit strategy.

Tradition and Conciliarism are mutually exclusive. Each one denying the other's right to exist. It goes without saying which is novelty and which is Catholic.
There is little to no hope of surviving under the apostate Conciliar prelates who now have papal approval and examples of eliminating the restorationists.

That may well happen, whatever anyone's hopes or desires may be. Still, it's not an outcome I for one would applaud. The place was set up by eminent Catholic scholars who wished to put into active effect Saint John Bosco's beliefs and attitudes regarding liberal arts education, and its aim was to attract the very best, the most serious students and to make them something akin to what Paul speaks of in the epistle for Easter Sunday: new leaven for a decayed and collapsing institutional Church.

I certainly grant that had the college's founders and present masters been true R&R Trads instead of Reform of the Reform types, the college and its students wouldn't be in the present pickle.* That fact could hardly be plainer. But the present brouhaha over Dr. Dudley's excellent and thoroughly orthodox address demonstrates that people who work at emulating the saints are rather more likely to find themselves on the road back to the True Faith in its fullness than to Humble Frank's Open-All-Hours Vatican Cafeteria. Both the conciliar numbskulls and the avowed enemies of Tradition, having seen what the likely destination is and fearing that "wreckovation" won't work, are doing at Fisher More what they do best everywhere: demolition.

Puritans masquerading as Trads like to keep our numbers small, whatever they may say to the contrary. For true Trads, however, the cry will always be "the more the merrier." That's why I'd love to see Fisher More survive and why I'll lament its passing.

Well, what was started and what we ended up with are two different things.
