In Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer's sermon given in Dublin, Ireland on February 12, 2014, he speaks about the importance of the Pope uniting with the Bishops of the world to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He sees this consecration as the solution to the current crisis in the Church. I would like to know what your thoughts are on the consecration of Russia and its importance in relation the current crisis in the Church.
I firmly believe this is of PARAMOUNT importance, and I thank you for posting this topic. You are a good warrior, Ecclesia Militans! It is an honor to have this association with you.
Please give also your affiliation, that is, SSPX-Marian Corps, SSPX under Bishop Fellay, Sedevacantist, Novus Ordo, etc.
I haven't listened to the sermon yet.
This is an excellent question.
I am affiliated with the SSPX-Marian Corps. I have been very firm in the position since 2004 (the year I came to Tradition) that the consecration of Russia is the only solution for the current crisis in the Church. I still hold that position today. I have seen a distancing from this position within the SSPX under Bishop Fellay. Also, I have heard Sedevacantists who give very little importance to this part of the Fatima message in regards to solving the crisis in the Church. I think one's position on the consecration of Russia as the solution to this crisis is very important in regards to being on the same team, so to speak, in the fight for the restoration of the glory of the Church.
My first exposure to this question was not long after 1960, when the Third Secret was supposed to be released. But it wasn't until about 20 years later that it became a pressing issue as the lack of both the Secret and the promised effects of the Collegial Consecration became more noticeable. Then JPII made the defective 'entrustment' that had little or no effect, and the Newchurch neo-cons tried to spin it (which was a transparent failure).
It seems to me that the current crisis in the Church has been ongoing since 1960
when these things were to have become clearer. This is not to say it didn't exist before 1960, but that it became more discernible at that time.
My affiliation is not really SSPX, but any of the various TLMs in my greater area. I would like to say that you are doing more with your recent awareness, Eccl. Milit., than I am with mine, and I would like to encourage you in your effort. I reverted to Tradition in about 1994, due to the intercession of St. Philomena and Our Lady.

You are correct on both counts. Neither one makes sense to me, why they're doing this. It shows IMHO they are falling under demonic influence. Other traditional priests are likewise misled in this way, that is those not with the SSPX nor sedevacantists. It is much more common among NovusOrdo priests, too.
It seems to me that this is inexcusable for +F, who ought to know better, but he seems much more interested in politics and worldly pursuits than he is in taking Our Lady's prophesy at face value, which looks like a weakness in faith, sorry to say. That's my opinion.
The sedes appear self-contradictory in this regard since some of them are quite diligent with having their congregations recite the Fatima prayers (as the Angel instructed the children and as Our Lady reinforced them. One would think that would help the sedes have faith in her prophesy, but they fall short of that confidence in her words because they place their conviction of the Chair of Peter being empty for so long, they are stuck in a logical conundrum, without any Pope to do the consecration as Our Lady asked, and without any bishops (as it were) worldwide to cooperate with the Pope.
I think one's position on the consecration of Russia as the solution to this crisis is very important in regards to being on the same team, so to speak, in the fight for the restoration of the glory of the Church.

The traditional priests I know who do not believe this is important in regards to being on the same team is very disconcerting to me. They appear to be suffering from a shortcoming of grace which is linked to objective information, facts of history, and writings of FALSE PROPHETS who have somehow managed to deceive these otherwise good priests.
We should remember to pray for our priests and to offer penances for them, and pray to the saints for their intercession.
In a couple of weeks will be the 16th anniversary of the martyrdom of Fr. Alfred Joseph Kunz. It seems to me he would be a good one to request graces from (even though he has not been officially recognized). I believe this is the case because as a martyr, he does not need to be officially recognized, and I say that we should invoke God's grace through his intercession because I have already received conspicuous signal graces just by invoking his name.
Fr. Kunz was murdered as a staunch defender of Catholic Tradition in Dane, Wisconsin on the night of March 3rd/4th, 1998. There is/are still no suspect(s) in the Police detective's case, although there may be some important clues the police are not willing to divulge.
