The Resistance is fidelity to the pre-2012 SSPX and +Archbishop Lefebvre’s uncompromised mission: the traditional Mass, sacraments, and doctrine. It resists the Neo-SSPX, which has submitted in practice and spirit to conciliar errors. Disputes, loose affiliations, or personality conflicts do not change this reality. ...
True Resistance is principled, not personal, and those who wish to preserve the Faith must avoid the Neo-SSPX entirely and seek priests who transmit Tradition intact.
Well, I got news for Fr. Hewko and others like him -- you perfectly describe Bp. Zendejas here, as well as the priests who work with him. If you disagree or claim otherwise because he's "not on your team", any such cult members can go jump in the lake. Reality is reality, and it doesn't care about your feelings. Or your "team".
The fact is that Bp. Zendejas is perfectly described in what I quoted here. No amount of twisting his sermons from 10 years ago or torturing his words till they scream will change that.
The sad reality is that Fr. Pfeiffer had an undue human attachment to running a seminary. Bp. Williamson told him no (because he wasn't equipped to fulfill that office) and Fr. P wouldn't take no for an answer. Fr. P, and Fr. Hewko who lived in that milieu for years (and was formed by it) made the decision to start attacking any Resistance priests or bishops who weren't in their group, or who disagreed with Fr. Pfeiffer about anything. In their little cult, Fr. Pfeiffer in the de-facto pope. It's insane. But, sadly, true.
"We're the only true ______, everyone else is sold out, you have to avoid them..." It's the oldest story in the book of cult behavior. It's Cult 101.
It's sad to see such self-serving and cult-like behavior in the Resistance, but if you think about it, you wouldn't be shocked. What IS the "Resistance"? Who vets individuals before they enter? Who gives them their certificate of membership? Who is the ultimate authority in the Resistance? Answer? Anyone can join, there is no authority, and membership is merely claimed by whoever. So yeah -- just finding a bad apple "associated with" the Resistance means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Just like finding a horrible criminal (violator of women, thief, murderer) reflects NOTHING on your favorite devout Trad Catholic priest. They are both Men, yes -- but "manhood" is given out liberally; almost half the world is men. One man can be a horrible criminal, and the man next to him could be a living saint. YES, THAT IS HOW IT WORKS.
Unless you have an authoritative organization, with control over membership, authority over individual members, etc. then finding "evil" in the organization MEANS NOTHING with respect to the rest of the organization. It's basic logic.
