Fr. Pfeiffer has said he has met third generation Trad youngsters at St. Mary's who do not even know who +Abp. LeFevbre is.

Fr. Pfeiffer has said he has met third generation Trad youngsters at St. Mary's who do not even know who +Abp. LeFevbre [sic] is.

So what? Is there reason to think that the pious archbishop would have wanted the situation to be otherwise?*

Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (to do him the courtesy of spelling his name correctly) was plainly a man who would have regarded the posthumous bestowal upon him of celebrity status as morally inappropriate, if not repellent. As his epitaph declares, his life's aim was to pass on what he had been bequeathed—namely, the Faith, whole and entire—no more, no less. While he would have looked forward to receiving the prayerful remembrance owed to the founder of any Church-approved clerical order by its present-day members, it is hardly imaginable that he would have succuмbed to the grandiosity of expecting or desiring that children think of him alongside Our Lady or Saint Joseph—or even their favorite baseball team's star slugger or pitcher.

That Father Pfeiffer might say something as foolish as this is unsurprising—the extent to which his spirituality is disordered has been thoroughly docuмented here at CI—but it is very distasteful to see commenters striving to match Father Pfeiffer's witlessness.

I think the point is ... if they don't know who A. Lefebvre is, then they won't have interest in reading his
books or listening to what he said (in videos).  They also will not care if B. Fellay supresses his videos and
writings.  Then, they won't know that the SSPX is going in the wrong direction.

Many SSPXers are being told that A. Lefebvre was always willing to make an agreement with Rome.
He was until May 5th, but then he realized they were playing games with him.

It's a way of saying that the youngsters don't know what SSPX is all about.  They think it's all about Latin
and not much else.

Good points.

You seem to have a screw loose.

His observation is no doubt both correct and disturbing, not foolish. If you cannot comprehend why, nobody here can help you.
