What ever happened to the "Strict Observance"?
So then, what message to we get from this photo of the new Union Sacerdotale? Is that not Bp. Williamson standing front and center? Does the bishop now recognize the new Avrille group as the true SSPX of the Archbishop? I do not perceive that he ever appeared that supportive of the "Resistance" here in the U.S. Someone set me straight.

And Fr. Hewko, Fr. Chazal, and some Benedictines from Brazil.

Where are the Avrillians then?
Looks like 4 white hoods are the 4 Dominicans in the picture. The one with a black hood on Bishop Williamson's right, Dom Tómas Aquino, is the only Benedictine and the only priest from Brazil that I see in the photo. The rest with black and white cassocks can only be SSPX priests or independents. (Exception, of course, is Fr. Pfeiffer with the white cassock)

It's hard to tell in the group photo, but the man directly behind Dom Tómas looks like he might also be a Benedictine. The same man sitting next to him here?:

Plus there were more Dominican monks in the photos of the Mass.

I don't know the details of how many Dominicans joined the resistance. It would be interesting to know if all of then joined. I had heard that one that was helping the US District did not join the resistance.
Perhaps, there was another Benedictine present. It would also be interesting to know who he was. He is not from the Benedictine monastery here in Brazil. He doesn't appear to be from the US Benedictine monastery. Maybe he is a Capuchin from Morgan?

They're in the photo too. They're the monks in white. Looks like other SSPX priests such as Fr. Faure & Rioult are there too.
Mith's point in response to hollingsworth was that Fr. Pfeiffer of the "Resistance" in the U.S. is in the photo. Likewise I added Fr. Hewko, also of the U.S. Resistance, and I pointed out Fr. Chazal & the Benedictines just to show that this meeting included priests from other parts of the world.
Fr. Hewko is on the right holding the candlestick.
The Dominicans of Avrille are very much there--Fr. Pierre Marie, O.P., the Prior, is standing on the right of Bishop Williamson (as you look at the picture), Fr. Marie-Dominique, O.P. is the smiling face just to the right of Fr. Pierre-Marie, O.P. and just to the left of Fr. Hewko who is holding the candlestick. There are two others in the picture, but I am not sure of their names.
Since the Dominican Fathers hosted this event, they are very much involved.
I mean, I could be wrong, but altogether I see the resistance as having a meaningful future and the Society becoming more and more disarmed.

I would like to remember the name of the one other priest with hands folded in prayer, like +W has. He's on the right. [Right#5]
I would suggest beginning with +W in the middle and going left to the priest just past Fr. Pfeiffer, then from +W to the right, making 3 more past Fr. Hewko. Since they are not arranged in rows, you have to go side to side, regardless of front-to-back.
Everyone's face is visible, and they can be described "horizontally" alone. There are 9 on each side, 5 between +W and Fr. Hewko, and 6 between Fr. Chazal and Fr. Pfeiffer. I thought the one on the far right might be Fr. Fernando Altamira, but I guess he's not. The fleur-de-lis in the middle is a nice touch.
Alleluia.

I don't know which Number the priest is at Bishop Williamson's immediate right [that would be Right#1], but this again is Fr. De Merode, the new superior of the Priestly Union(SSPX) in France. I think he is later referred to on this thread as priest #5 even though priest #5 is Dom Tomas Aquino.

Anyone who is sure, please point out any errors. Thanks.

For CONSTRUCTION enthusiasts:
These gray masonry walls behind these priests are obviously not in California. Because in L.A., you would NEVER FIND concrete block walls with such oddball sizes for the blocks as these rectangles behind the priests' heads:
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fxHvcxnZYek/U8Z38_H2CwI/AAAAAAAAAVM/BnpTaRHNTi8/s1600/DSC00030.JPG)
..some courses are 8" tall, some are 10", some are 9" and some courses are 7-1/2".
Some blocks are 16" wide, and some are 10", but others are 14" or 11" or 9-1/2" or 17", and this simply does not happen in California.
To top it off, some blocks turn the corner without any joint and the corner isn't 90 degrees. GET A LOAD OF THOSE TWO RIGHT BEHIND +W's LEFT ELBOW:
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HD--nEpn1R8/U8Zz3swQBNI/AAAAAAAAAUk/m1XfYcyawyE/s1600/4.JPG)
They have three exposed arises, two positive and one negative, with a vertical front face and one vertical side face at 60 degrees, joining a sloped inside top face with a 20% gradient! They don't sell those at the materials yard! It would take three months to special order one and it would cost an arm and a leg!
Wakeup call:
These walls are not concrete block. They are SOLID STONE. (but in L.A. they would say, "UNREINFORCED MASONRY!?!?")

It's a new group. Not the original sspx created by archbishop
Lefebvre.
The monastery was built in the 12th century. So, those stones are close to 900 years old--which is why they don't look like anything you would see in California, or anywhere else in the U.S.A.
Quote from: Viva Cristo ReyIt's a new group. Not the original sspx created by archbishop
Lefebvre.
Yet, it includes many of the original priests. How many were ordained by the Archbishop or attended Econe?
How many in positions of power in the Society were close friends, ordained by, or went to Econe under the Archbishop?
I can imagine how Fr. Bouchacourt would be treated by the Archbishop.
True, whether they attended Econe or not is meaningless if they are liberals.

Would Menzingen be worried? :smoke-pot:
It's a priestly union just live the Campos priests formed here in Brazil. Actually, I think it's brilliant. They can remain a loose association of priest without an official structure, but continue to function somewhat like a structure. It solves all the problems of lacking an official canonically erected society of priests, while continuing to function only as a union. It is like going back to the remedy of Bishop de Castro Mayer in his day.
I think it's the best news as of late. Now everyone can stop focusing on that derailing issue of being without a structured group. It certainly sounds like a good, temporary solution.
