    Your Excellency,
    On a recent interview, you expressed the opinion that the Society of St. Pius X could have an imminent split, because of the lack of understanding of those who are opposed to any agreement with Rome.

    If such a split should occur, I need to do due diligence to allow me to make a prudent choice for my family and myself, in what direction I take.

    Therefore, could you please help me understand your position on the following:-
    •   Do you agree with Quanta Cura of Pius IX, Immortale Dei and Libertas of Leo XIII, Pascendi Gregis of Pius X, Quas Primas of Pius XI, Humani Generis of Pius XII?
    •   Are you in full communion with these Popes and their teachings?
    •   You still accept the entire Anti-Modernist Oath?
    •   Are you in favor of the social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ?

    You are correct if you recognize that these words are from Archbishop Lefebvre, and in my opinion are still valid today, as they were 1988. I trust that these questions are still answered by you in the affirmative.

    Your Excellency, I respect that a final decision is to be made by you as being Superior General of the Society. However, there is something that has been truly troubling me. For most organizations, including the Vatican, and corporations, prudence dictates that the head (or CEO) of that organization, is primarily focused on the future of that organization, and its longevity. He sets the direction based on its constitution. It is quite an abnormal situation when that person also has fiscal control as well as ultimate control of the organizations assets. It is a well known fact that you are both Superior General, as well as President/CEO/director of a number of companies and trusts in Switzerland and internationally. Rightly or wrongly, people are concerned that this is an abnormal situation and one that should not exist if one looks at it objectively.

    I therefore ask from you, as a sign of good faith, and as an indication of your convictions, that you relinquish control over those companies, and set up a structure that doesn’t have the potential to be abused.

    In closing, I would like to add that although my family and I are continuing with the Rosary Crusade, as it is a worthy cause, I do not intend to submit a tally of the Rosaries that we have said. I am of the opinion that publishing such results, as has been in the past, appears to be more of an accolade and for the publicity. Indeed, someone I know, called it in all innocence, a “Rosary competition”. Our Lady knows how many Rosaries that we have done, and that is what matters most for me

    Any capitulation with Modernism can be legitimized by statistics?

    I really don't want to go there. Reading this is enough of a
    disturbance to my Rosary meditations. For it opens up a whole
    new level of difficulty. The Rosary is supposed to be a sort of
    sanctuary in our time, not a tool for political manipulation.

    For the past 2 years I have not reported my Rosary tallies either,
    but not because I had made this decision, literally. Rather there
    was something I couldn't quite be sure of.

    Our Lady knows how many Rosaries we have done, and that is
    what matters most for me, too.

    I say, go ahead and pray your Rosaries with the crusade intentions
    included, and do so as Our Lord said, that "your right hand doesn't
    know what your left hand is doing," and our Lady, who sees in private,
    will see to it that your intentions are accounted for, and those who
    would usurp this indulgence for their own agenda can go "pound sand."
