As Our Lady sets up new Chapels around the world, take time to mourn the passing of one:
St. Michael Church in De Pere.
It has been taken over by the Surrendered SSPX without anyone firing a shot in defense of the Parish, once manned by a Lion of the Faith.
I always figured the first loss of the Defense of the Faith would be in America.
We Cristeros mourn its passing.

An update:
Some of us are not giving up. We will not compromise, and we will not surrender. Our Lady told us herself that someday we would only have the Rosary and the Scapular as our refuge.
I believe, in our case, this is that time.
It very interesting how people could hear Father Bolduc for so many years, but apparently, those blessed people didn't really listen to him at all.
And so, I pray with arms outstretched, for this crisis to end soon, for the sake of all our souls.
Gradualism is the most sinister form of change, and because too many rested on their laurels, Saint Michael's is now no better than the indult.
Because the board did not follow the instructions of Father Bolduc, we are in the situation we're in. Because of the laxity of the majority, the "Sunday Catholics," and those of us (myself included) who did not pray enough for a priest unwilling to compromise, we are reaping what we've sown.
I don't feel I have very much to contribute here, other than the assurance of my prayers for the hasty end to this disaster we find ourselves living through.
Please keep my family, and the ones who will not compromise at Saint Michael's, in your prayers. We will be needing very many.
