For those who are not from the United States, the Alamo represents an act of heroism. It was a sacrificial battle that saved a country, somewhat similar to the "Alcazar" of the Spanish-War, or the fight-to-death of the Knight Bayard at Ronceveaux.

The Mexican General Santa Anna had reached the heart of Texas. His powerful army had marched unopposed. Santa Anna intended to reclaim Texas, and perhaps also New-Mexico, which at that time consisted of the enormous territory of the present states of New-Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada.

In what is presently the city of San Antonio, stood a fortified outpost, which Santa Anna could not leave behind. It was the Alamo. Three men were there: Colonels Travis and Bowie, and the legendary David Crockett.

Santa Anna attempted to obtain surrender from those three men. It is Colonel Travis who broke all negotiations in a somewhat "rude" manner, and thus forced the battle. The Mexicans lost precious time during the taking of the fort, while the Yankees were organizing a counter-attack from up-north. The Alamo fighters fought until the last-man-standing. Their courage was felt by the Mexican troops, and ultimately it became their defeat.

The SSPX is in a situation that resembles the Alamo. There has been "negotiations" with the Vatican, which has now become the present new mortal enemy of the Roman Catholic Church. The Vatican is under occupation by apostates; it cannot be considered ours; it is in full rot. Those negotiations with the enemy have been "rudely" interrupted by Bishop de Galaretta, SSPX (source: Tradition In Action). A battle seems unavoidable.

The comparison between the Alamo and the next to come fight-to-the-last-man of the SSPX stops here: Santa Anna, in this narative, was the enemy, but nevertheless he was an honorable general, while the Vatican is becoming the Seat of the Antichrist (Our Lady of La Salette), that was invaded by the smokes of Satan 40 years ago (Pope Paul VI). The SSPX is not facing an honorable and chivalrous opponent but the devil. The fight promises to be merciless, but now the question is: will there be a fight? Will our leaders and our men have the chance to behave in a heroic way? Presently it does not appear to be: Two of our bishops are in exile and made useless (one who speaks Spanish is in Geneva, and the other who is very French is in Chicago), while the "legendary other-one" is in forced retirement therefore also made useless. Will the SSPX engage in combat, or run to the ropes? The devil is surely laughing at us now, soon it will be the turn of the women.

The devil is a formidable opponent, but has already been defeated a few times. Once it was by an archangel, then an other time it was by a Shepperd armed with a sling shot and five pebbles, and we also know that in the future it will be by a barefooted woman who will crush it's head, this barefooted woman is a Virgin... Should the SSPX be afraid? The Alamo; the Alcazar; the fight-to-death of the Knight Bayard were victories that cost lives, and for the battle to come, the victorious, even if killed, will know everlasting life.

We lost the battle of the Alamo. :rolleyes:

Yep, the loss was so bad that even john Wayne and Richard Widmark got killed there, too - over a century later!

Jack, you've got a certain talent. Try children's literature! With your imagination, you'll do well.

I wouldn't do comparisons between the SSPX situation right now and the battle of the Alamo. For one, it was between Mexican and U.S. Freemasons. For another, the U.S. citizens living in Mexican territory deliberately and willfully violated the laws of Mexico, holding slaves, taking over more land, etc. ultimately leading to the Mexican War, in which Mexico lost most of the Southwest. And in fact, this in turn led to the cινιℓ ωαr (or if you want, the War of "Northern Aggression," though it was really the South that instigated it, to tell the truth).

A RETRACTION!!! My editrix was distracted this last Saturday. The Knight Bayard was from another era. I should have named ROLAND OF RONCEVEAUX.

It is to be said that Ronceveaux was a rear guard battle.
