Fr Chazal has a very down-to-earth but intelligent view of the Crisis. He is not "in the clouds" but has his feet firmly on the ground -- in the grassroots if you will. I hear charity but solidity of doctrine.
I think that's one of the blessings of being "on the ground" working for souls in a third world country. It's back to basics, and gives any cleric a priceless perspective on the Faith, the role of God in the salvation of souls, the Mass, the Crisis in the Church, and many other important matters.
Archbishop Lefebvre wouldn't have been the man he was if he hadn't spent years in the missions in Africa (Gabon).
His experiences in Africa with the Mass, God's grace, and watching how the traditional Catholic Faith transformed the lives of new converts basically inoculated the Archbishop against Modernism. Plus he wasn't around France to get infected with the others. It was truly Providential.
Might I point out that Bishop Fellay had no pastoral experience when he was selected for consecration? He had been the Bursar General -- he kept the purse and the things that were kept therein. He was always in the "office" -- white collar, administrative, accounting, a bean counter. Such individuals ALWAYS have an extreme temptation to focus on the MATERIAL element -- the bottom line -- in the apostolate. Numbers, properties, money, revenue, resources, etc. Not saying that they always succuмb to the temptation, but it's an objective fact that such a temptation is there, considering that staring at the resources of the organization is their daily job.
Think about it: a physicist sees the world as made up of atoms, a chemist sees the world in terms of elements and compounds, an economist sees everything in terms of capital and labor, etc.
So when you are working in a poor, third-world country, your focus is on what matters. You see how powerful God and His grace is, and how optional money, advertising, "branding", and various luxuries are.
Plus there's the whole aspect of rolling up your sleeves, getting your hands dirty, that connection with reality that also helps missionary priests. All the opportunities for mortification (read: acts of love of God) help improve their spiritual state and give them a spiritual (rather than materialistic) outlook on life.
