He doesn't seem exactly enamoured with the SSPX either.

Francis - I guess you're a third order member from Paris. Of which faith?

@inspiritu20:  Nowadays Catholic militancy is good wherever we can find it.  Evidently my praise for particular priests might not be altogether helpful to them though.  But, not wanting to paint them with my own "tarbrush," Fathers Joseph Pfeiffer and Basilio Meramo certainly deserve only the highest accolades.  And, of course, the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

Odd that you seem to find me to be somehow Parisian French.  Our real-life French friend "Pere Joseph" must feel some indigestion at that unlikely impression.  Actually this writer is about as German as an American German can be.  But no doubt the "Parisian French" impression that some might see in my manners and style (actually a pretty high complement, by the way) is simply and altogether nothing other than 100% American.  The Old American Republic was something most vividly French and that may show through since we American Germans are, after all, also Americans and not actually from the Old Continent.  This writer is therefore also an American and, for those who haven't noticed, America since 1776 has been more than a little French.  Sometimes that shows through.

"Of which faith?"  ...  Since about the Fourth Century, Roman Catholic.  Isn't that what we call our religion?  Among we German Catholics any member of the family who wasn't Catholic was liable to get a battle axe through the head pretty quick.  Hence the Thirty Years War when some two-thirds of the German Protestants were, one way or another, put to the sword.  (German Catholics take our religion VERY seriously!)

It seems some have quite a watered-down view of our religion.  But among German Roman Catholics at least the old adage still holds:  The best defense is a good offense.  Since our English language is nothing if not a loud military bark, perhaps it's time for American Catholic laymen to send the whimps to the galleys and the courtiers to the women's quarters.  Time to get on with the business of life, which for Catholic laymen translates as the "business of war."


@ServusSpiritusSancti:  So much concern with how we may appear to the audience that lives to stare and watch.  But what a lot of lack of confidence that implies towards our Catholic women.  Aren't they good enough to take care of the feminine virtues for us?  It's because those fine qualities are so greatly important that we require a slight majority of us to be women in the first place.  Let's have a little more respect for them and trust them to provide us with Catholic womanhood.  Surely Catholic laymen are needed to be Catholic men and not second-rate back ups to give us the feminine virtues.  If Catholic women don't provide them, then they aren't going to be provided by anybody, and least of all by Catholic laymen.

Is it really so "absolutely nuts" not to be a woman?  May the Good Lord bless them in His Infinite Wisdom, but men also have a purpose in life.  Which isn't to be a woman, no matter how perfect and praise-worthy our fine Catholic ladies unquestionably are!  Normally when Catholic laymen are unpleasant and determined it's a good sign, not a bad one.  Usually Catholic men should be admirable, and should leave being truly pleasant and delightful to the ladies.  What else can be said?  Men who look truly pleasant and delightful in the eyes of their audience usually have something to hide.  And too often something all too unpleasant to hide!

Perhaps the fact that this writer has the unpleasant strong odor of testosterone all about him is a good sign, and not something bad at all.  Perhaps if this writer had the sweet irresistible warble of everything charming and lovely, then men would truly have good cause to worry.  But if this writer only comes off as a bit of a skunk, then perhaps he is what he claims to be, simply an exceptionally lowly and honest Franciscan Solitary living through the dark Last Days of the Apocalypse...

Germany threatened to break diplomatic relations with the Vatican if the SSPX was recognized. Your statement makes no sense. The ADL is also opposed to a recognition:

 
 Yeah sure, like how health insurance providers hiked their rates just before 'Obamacare' went to vote...

The dog wags the tail, not the other way around. What do you suppose the ADL and German government would have to fear from a capitulated foe?

"The Struggle continues!" as they say.  The Russian Special Spetnaz (that's "S.S." for short) annihilated the best of the N.A.T.O. forces around Al-Safira at the exact timing of the Galactic Alignment last month (once every 26.000 years), the violently anti-Israhell Hagel is about to take over at the Pentagon and it begins to dawn on the idiot Fellay he'd better trim his sails faster than A.S.A.P.

Fellay's problem is that he's ham-handed.  The neo-nαzιs now coming to the fore in the Russian and N.A.T.O. Special Forces don't want him.  His "new tune" comes too late.  But he sees he's not safe in his fortified castle in Switzerland and that if he carries on with his pro-Jєω agitprop some N.A.T.O. or Russian units would soon sneak into his castle and do something like smash his head in with their rifle butts.  So, as Brother Diego perceptively notes, best to play both sides, or so Fellay imagines.

Sorry, my fellow Catholic men, just a little real world "reality check" here.  Not "nice," not pleasant, but there it is.  Fellay has been noticed in very high places, he's at present one of the most hated men on earth and anyone with any sense would avoid him like the absolutely literal Kiss of Death he has now become.  Not wishing to alarm too much, but to be relatively sober about such an incompetent imbecile, Fellay may well be having an "unexpected accident" some time soon.  Such are the times we are now actually living in.  It isn't wise to piss off the anti-Zionist military who are now going into rampage mode as we blog...  Way to go, Bishop Fellay!

Fellay is a poisonous turd.

Brother Francis, the only things you demonstrate with your unfortunate name calling are a total lack of discretion and hatred of Bishop Fellay. And from the comments I see here, it seems that many of those who consider themselves "resistance" share in those qualities.

WAIT JUST A MINUTE, SOMEONE QUOTED BISHOP FELLAY, THEY REPORTED HE SAID "THE JєωS ARE ENEMIES OF THE CHURCH " WELL BISHOP FELLAY ALSO SAID, LIKE POPE JOHN PAUL II THAT" THE JєωS ARE OUR ELDER BROTHERS IN THE FAITH " SO THEY ARE OUR ELDER BROTHERS IN THE FAITH WHO ARE ALSO ENEMIES OF THE CHURCH OF THIS SAME FAITH. WHEW, I'M GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO DECIPHER THIS TWIST. !
