His English was good enough. He was the most impressive priest who regularly came to the NYC mission. My friend from Church spent a little while living in Ridgefield when he was there, and he said it was like a medieval saint had come back to earth to live with us for a while.
That’s why we defend him😇.

P.S. What I'm saying is -- if someone is so lukewarm they don't want to lift a finger to get in contact -- i.e., they want to be a convenience-heavy "Sunday Catholic" that just looks up the local chapel in the phonebook, shows up for Mass, leaves right after -- no volunteering, no getting involved, no significant travel, etc. -- you're just out of luck.

It wasn't me that punished such Convenience First individuals -- it was Someone much greater than I. He seems to be leaning more and more towards "done" with such lukewarm Catholics, and is beginning to purge His Church as we speak.

P.S. This argument was thrown out there as early as 2015 -- so it's quite old. The answer to the argument is quite straightforward, and hasn't changed much in the past 6 years.

If you want to be part of the Resistance and enjoy Mass/Sacraments at said chapels, then GET INVOLVED. There are NO excuses. Google is still operational, last time I checked. And although you're not going to find Bp. Z's personal phone number OR e-mail address online, you will find mine and I can hook you up.

No excuses. Sorry, the smearing and slander aren't going to work. I'm BS-proof, and I'm going to see that the CathInfo readers end up BS-proof on this particular subject as well.

Here is my point:

My soul could be transplanted into ANYONE ON EARTH right now, and if I had the will to support the Resistance and be accepted as a member, I could make it happen easily within 1 month. I'd use Google, I'd join CathInfo, I'd post sentences and maybe articles in support of the movement.

It doesn't matter what part of the country I ended up in. Male or female. Young or old. Married or single. Healthy or sick. I could easily establish an online identity and make myself a "known quantity" who supports Bp. Zendejas, Bp. Williamson, etc. It's just so easy to do so. Spending just 15 minutes a week, I would quickly make friends, make some phone calls, get to know individual(s) in my area, talk to some priests, explain my situation, etc. and even if I couldn't make it to weekly/monthly Mass, I would at least be a trusted, known quantity so I could take my kids (?) to Confirmation nearby when the time came, no problem.

When there's a will, there's a way. Especially for something this simple. If you haven't done something so simple, in 6 years, then you don't want it at all. Period. No excuses.

Then talk to God, not Bp. Zendejas.

I assure you, they are distinct from one another. One of them has this whole Crisis (including the solution thereof) in His hand -- the latter is just a man, subject to all kinds of physical limitations.

My recommended Scripture verse for today (for you, Incredulous) is Matthew chapter 8
[24] And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep. [25] And they came to him, and awaked him, saying: Lord, save us, we perish.
[26] And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm.

Incredulous' complaint (above) is EXACTLY the same logic and thinking that the Apostles in the boat had.  "By the time Jesus wakes up, we'll all be dead at the bottom of the sea". But in both cases, Jesus was in control and all we need to do is our duty of state, as much as we can (and not an inch more), and TRUST IN GOD for the rest.

Touche' Monsieur Matthew...

You leave me no choice but to parry and thrust again.

BACKGROUND:

Archbishop Lefebvre, after guiding the SSPX for over 20 years, died on March 25, 1991.
He is buried in a crypt beneath his beloved seminary at Econe where his remains can be visited today.
On his tomb are marked the words of the apostle St. Paul: "Tradidi quod et accepi"
(I have transmitted what I have received) (I Cor. 15:3).
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We've had an open Resistance situation since 2012.   It is 2021 and only a trickle of priests have been ordained.

There have been many excuses, but in that time period, it would have been possible to ordain two to three seminary classes of priests.
If, the Bishop(s) had the will to do it.  

And during that critical time, Resistance chapels, worldwide, have withered on the vine or been prey to the neo-SSPX.

So, if you accuse me of having little Faith, I counter the Bishops you defend for not passing on the continuity of Faith though the priesthood.
