A Thread to Say Thank You for the Sermons

  • Thank you to all the priests who have given us good sermons.  It has been a long time since we have heard preaching about things such as:  specific duties in our family; problems in the modern world - ie, science; the crisis in the SSPX (and we're not actually crazy - these things really are going on); using quotes from the Church Fathers, saints, etc.; and ways to remedy or deal with those things.

    I can't say how much we missed  those SERMONS over the years, and it's not something I would easily give up.

    THANK YOU TO THE PRIEST FOR GOOD SERMONS!

  • Absolutely PadrePio!!

    After years of listening to weak and anemic sermons, it's definitely invigorating to finally hear the Truth spoken plainly!!

  • I value these sermons very much and am thankful, particularly after coming home from Sunday Mass and having to listen to a weak neo-SSPX sermon.

    And the Sunday sermons at my chapel get weaker every week. Have others noticed the same at their SSPX chapel?

    I don't have to take notes of the neo-sermons anymore. Not only has the salt lost its flavor, but also the meat has gone rancid.

    I concur.  The sermons are great.  And it's doing a lot of good.  

    Imagine, when not all that long ago, there were sermons like this all
    over the world, before Vatican II, that is!  

    But it's having an effect on more than just the Faithful who hear them.  
    it seems to be having an effect on the other priests, too.  For how can
    independent priests, who have been somewhat isolated in their
    missionary work as if they are trying to evangelize a pagan country in
    the midst of thousands of Catholic parishes all over the place.  You
    have to think, they have a tough row to hoe.

    But when they watch a YouTube video of Fr. Pfeiffer, they suddenly
    realize that here is a new standard of excellence.. Fr. Pfeiffer has
    single-handedly raised the bar!  And the effect has been that other
    preachers, that is, priests preaching, have something to "catch up to."  
    He is leading by example, and he knows that he is leading by example,
    because he SAYS he is "leading by example."  Quote-unquote, thank
    you very much.

    I will give you one example among many.  

    This past Sunday, Msgr. Perez took the occasion of Septuagesima to
    say a few words about the modern trend for violent shootings at
    childrens' schools.  I won't go into a lot of detail, but I would like to say
    that he seemed to be a little more animated than usual, and he's
    usually pretty animated.  

    He mentioned how the current occupant of the W.H., BO, held a press
    conference wherein he had some small schoolchildren standing about
    him, to whom he referred as having written him letters complaining
    that they are afraid.  He is using them like he is using the deaths of the
    innocent victims as a photo-op to promote his Communist Confiscation
    of Guns.  Now these children are not from schools where there has
    been any such violence.  So they have, objectively, nothing to do with
    the problem personally, except for ONE REASON, and that one reason
    is the one that neither BO nor any of his liberal or worse ilk will EVER
    acknowledge, because it is their liberalism or worse, that is the root
    cause of the violence.  They are subject personally to his
    propaganda, is ALL IT IS.


    And he gave a short list of the categories he thought were exemplary:

    ~ 1.... EVOLUTION - it's taught in all the public schools (it's not taught
    in most of the Protestant schools, much to their credit), and while there
    is precisely ZERO EVIDENCE of any essential aspect of this false
    hypothesis yet to be found, the so-called scientists who continue to
    promote it do so with a zeal second to none, and they persist in
    mistaking it for a "theory," which is clearly is NOT.  It scandalizes these
    little ones who would believe in Our Lord (cf. Matt xviii. 6), and drags
    their minds down into the abyss of ignorance as if by a millstone
    necklace.  This is not education, it is corruption.  Woe to them who
    dare teach children evolution!  They are taught to believe that they,
    and all people by extension, are nothing more than a puddle of MUCK
    by lightening bolt STRUCK, and so why is anyone surprised to see
    them without any awareness of the infinite value of the human soul,
    the soul of a person?

    ~ 2.... Environmentalism - it's another pet project of the liberals, or
    worse, that teaches children that one of two things are gonna happen,
    depending on which model suits their whims day to day, either it's
    global warming or it's global cooling. You never know with these liars.  
    Either the world is doomed to become a barren wasteland or it's
    doomed to become overrun by the sea after the icecaps all melt.  
    Never mind that God has revealed that the world will be burnt up by
    FIRE in the end.  Why never mind?  Because the environmentalists
    have made of their agenda a false god, and they don't need the real
    God anymore, or so they would lead you to believe.  That is, they
    would lead you to DISBELIEVE in the value of a single person's eternal
    soul.

    ~ 3.... Secularization - perhaps the liberals' primary doctrine, including
    the so-called separation of church and state, by which God is removed
    from all walks of public life, when in fact the opposite is our
    foremost responsibility.
     Is it any wonder children are growing up
    confused?  They don't know that there is nothing more important than
    the sanctification of their soul, by which they are saved in eternity,
    even if they are suddenly killed by some aberrant violence.  And in so
    teaching these innocent victims these lies, they teach them there is no
    value in a human soul, for whom Our Lord would have suffered his
    entire passion, even for the salvation of one soul.

    ~ 4.... Abortion - another false god in the Modern Pantheon of false
    religions, there have been now one billion, three hundred million
    (1,300,000,000) child killings since 1980, a far cry from all the deaths
    by all the guns shooting bullets since the advent of guns shooting
    bullets.  And while the tragedy and the pain of the affected families is
    not to be disregarded, for it is terrible and they deserve our Christian
    charity, nonetheless, it is ludicrous to bemoan the shooting deaths of
    30 while AT THE SAME TIME these liberal (and worse) LIARS PROMOTE
    THE CONTINUED SLAUGHTER OF OUR PREBORN INFANT SOULS the
    eternal value of which is thus denied by implication.  

    All of this liberal-and-worse indoctrination of the DENIAL OF THE
    IMMORTAL SOUL OF MAN has its consequences.  And ONE of them is
    school shootings.  THERE ARE OTHER consequences too, and we may
    be on the brink of finding out what those may be, and may God have
    mercy on our souls.

    Like I said, I'm not going into a lot of details.  You can read this in 4
    minutes, whereas the sermon was 25 minutes.

    Good things are happening, thanks to the good sermons.

  • Just an afterthought, no doubt the internet has its evils, but who's to say we can't do otherwise with it.   People use it to share helpful information and how to's.  There are many religious sites that include devotions, and now we have a few priests with good sermons, and the opportunity to make it accessible to all.    If the sermons weren't available on the internet the priests would only reach a few hundred people; but, because we use the internet - they are able to reach thousands.

    I don't have to sit in my home and say I can't do anything, or what I do won't make a difference - so why bother, especially if there isn't a Resistance Chapel close by.  If anything, the more people hear the Truth, the more likely there will be more faithful and more priests who join the Resistance, and chapels will grow.  Who's to say the faithful can't have a hand in all this.

    The youtube sites with the sermons list the number of views.  And, using the tags makes it accessible to many more viewers.  For example, if the poster of the video types in Roman Catholic or Sermons under tags, then someone searching for Roman Catholic or Sermons may find one of these videos, even by accident, and listens out of curiosity.  Facebook users can also pass on the sermon sites, and reach people who need them.

    If you are attending a chapel, and notice the sermons preached aren't available on the internet, ask your chapel coordinator if he needs help recording them.  He will let you know how to how to pass them on.  Checking the priest's itinerary compared to the sermons available, there is no doubt we are missing out on some of these good sermons.

    If chapel attendees don't record the sermons, they become exclusive for only a few people.
