SSPX Resistance News / Re: Fr. Hewko's cult is TRASH
« Last post by Matthew on Today at 08:27:46 AM »
I gave you a 👍🏼, but do keep in mind there ARE people who are 5 hours or more from a traditional chapel. I’ve been one of them when the border between the US and Canada was closed to those who didn’t take Fauxi 💉. It was very upsetting, being involuntarily home alone. For three months, I didn’t have internet, either, without driving 90 minutes or longer to a town with a store where I could sometimes pick up a weak signal if I parked around the back near the loading dock.
Believe me it had nothing to do with self-deluded pride in my “holier-than-thouness.” If there were any other traditional Catholics nearby, it was news to me. I was in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful country, but it got too much to manage. My nearest neighbors were a lesbian couple. My best friends, however, were free of sin. I still miss the dogs, but the cat is still with me. In fact, she’s in her usual nighttime location, on my bed nestled in the crook of my knees!

Yes, this is classic "home aloner" vs "dogmatic home aloner" -- with basically the same answer.

Specifically:
Yes, there are people who have no Trad options; there ARE Trad "deserts" out there. Obviously having a Mass  more than 5 hrs away, or even unavailable, is not your fault in such a case. Lack of nearby Masses, in this case, has nothing to do with pickiness, pride, etc.

I'm talking about the majority of Trads. Most Trads, over the years, try to NOT end up in places like Arkansas with 0 SSPX chapels. (now there might be non-SSPX options, but I'm not familiar with them, as I have never lived in Arkansas, etc.) If they do find themselves there (post-Conversion for example), they tend to move and eventually migrate closer to some place with a chapel -- if they can.

In all cases, Trads should at least desire or even try to move somewhere less than 2 hours from a Traditional Mass they can tolerate. I mean, we're talking about the Mass! I mean, what other priority would a person have?

Thanks cassini!  Do you have a site where we can go to check out the mini version you are preparing?  Also, can you give us any word as to whether the full PDF version seen here will eventually be available in book form?  The Earthmovers (PDF) – Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation


I am putting a copy of the mini version up on this thread. I can continue if required. The mini version deals with the damage done to the Catholic faith since 1820. It will of course shock any traditional Catholic, but the Bible says the truth will out. I can send a mini PDF to you but only by way of private message available on CIF.

The larger TE is being edited by me to remove some unnecessary or repeated information. It covers and corrects the science involved as well as the effects heliocentrism has had on Catholic Biblical exegesis and hermeneutics as well as promoting agnosticism and atheism in millions since Galileo's time. Some time ago A friend posted TE on CIF with comments from members as it progressed. Go into CIF search to find it.

If God hated the sinner, He wouldn’t want him to repent. He wouldn’t have sacrificed His Son for sinners’ sake.
Maybe the is a cliché, but there’s truth to it. No doubt God hates seeing the sinner in the act of sinning, but ultimately, He longs for his conversion.
Consider this Bible verse,
11 Say to them: As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live.  [Ezechiel 33:11]
It's because they are certain kinds of people who use the quote to deny that people need to repent and change their ways.

I've never liked this slogan. Scripture says God hates and sinner and his sins alike.
If God hated the sinner, He wouldn’t want him to repent. He wouldn’t have sacrificed His Son for sinners’ sake.

SSPX Resistance News / Re: Fr. Hewko's cult is TRASH
« Last post by Seraphina on Today at 03:26:10 AM »
I just don't understand what happened to Father Hewko.  It seemed that when he was with the SSPX he was a good priest who inspired many people.
He was. He could be again with a proper superior, a good bishop. No criticism intended. Fr. Hewko has the personality and temperament that needs a guide and authority to encourage and bring out the best in him.
I think that’s the reason he stayed too long at OLMC because he had nowhere else to go. He was counting on Bp. Williamson to take the reins and hopefully recreate the SSPX as it existed when Archbishop LeFebvre was still alive. When that didn’t happen and nobody else stepped up for a wide variety of reasons, he felt abandoned, and he actually was, pretty much.
After his falling out with Bo. W., he took it personally as evidenced by his harsh and public criticism of him and the bishops he consecrated. Despite Bp. W.’s decease, he continues to lay into him in nearly every sermon. I can see why the six and other priests do not work with him. Who wants to be criticized and even insulted lest there be a falling out? 
Conversely, he almost never mentions Fr. Pfeiffer being made a bishop by a man of the Thuc line. He seems to still be in denial about many of the goings on at OLMC, including the escapades of P. the M. and has yet to at least acknowledge staying in such a chaotic place for so long. He complains the bishops don’t speak out, but never mentions Bp. Pfeiffer. He doesn’t speak out, either. And if Fr. H. believes the Thuc line or Bp. Pfeiffer’s consecration was not valid, why does he not speak out and warn souls? 
There was a time when Fr. Hewko was with the SSPX, I thought of him as another Dom Bosco, the way he worked with those difficult teenaged boys.
A friend who knew him very well said she’d never heard him say an unkind word or in anger about anyone, even those who were annoying or with whom he disagreed, even vehemently. He’d speak his mind, but not at every sermon to the point of spending more time and energy than explaining the Gospel and Epistle.
I guess I won’t mince words. Fr. Hewko needs to forgive Bp. Williamson, and the other bishops with whom he is not pleased. At the very least, he might refrain from going over it at every sermon. Instead, why not have everyone pray for them by name, if he’d like, at the beginning or end of his sermon. One prayer for the soul of Bp. W. and add in Bp. Tissier and a Hail Mary or other suitable prayer for the six still living. Come Holy Ghost comes to my mind for them. Of course, I’m just a lay woman, so if I deserve to be told to shut up, I accept that and won’t mention it again.
I do want the best for Fr. Hewko, and hope that Matthew will also let him off the hook for insulting CI. He needn’t like it, but let it go.

Everyone will do well to take custody of his/emotions before opening the mouth or hitting SEND. CI can be improved by everyone making that effort.

With one girl, age six, I was very impressed. Sensing by othe kids’ reactions, she knew what was on the phone, that “Jesus did not like it,” she closed her eyes and refused to touch the phone despite a particular older boy calling her a baby. Her response to him, “My parents say if you see something, it stays in your brain forever. I’m not putting garbage in my brain.”  And she refused to open her eyes until the kids were off the bus and the driver told her to get off.
How very true

Title of this thread sounds strikingly similar to Hillary Clinton calling those opposed to her 2016 presidential campaign "deplorables" and "irredeemable."

It's in poor taste for a Catholic site, particularly one that labels itself the defacto headquarters of the Resistance.
A very poor analogy. Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” were in fact, anything but that.

It's a common temptation.

Who wouldn't want to believe they are the last faithful remnant, a David fighting Goliath? It's a classic Hero Complex. Delusions of grandeur.

Those who are both sane AND humble will catch themselves, not give in to the temptation, rejecting such a thought as unreasonable and absurd.

Keep in mind -- we are ALREADY outnumbered, a remnant, etc. -- it's not like we're not already QUITE special, as part of the Traditional Movement. Isn't that exclusive enough? Aren't we outnumbered enough? Isn't the fight dire enough?

Not for some!

These proud/insane individuals say "Nope! Traveling 1 hour on Sunday to a Tridentine Mass chapel? That's Broad Path to Destruction stuff. That's the easy path! I alone know the hard path! Having a handful of friends at your Traditional chapel? That's being friends with the World! WE are TRULY isolated, we have ZERO friends or fellow parishioners within a 5 hour radius."
I gave you a 👍🏼, but do keep in mind there ARE people who are 5 hours or more from a traditional chapel. I’ve been one of them when the border between the US and Canada was closed to those who didn’t take Fauxi 💉. It was very upsetting, being involuntarily home alone.
