  • I didn't know this.  So this woman made a spectacle of herself in the middle of a Sacrament.  Can you imagine being her family?

    It was at a conference actually.
    Want to say "thank you"?

    Yes, sorry. I should have been more clear. There was a talk and a Q and A after the confirmations.

  • I actually heard the whole thing in context.
    Isolated time clips are insufficient to prove a point.  
    “Proving” what Bp. W. believes by a few words here, a few sentences there is what Protestants  do with the Bible.  It’s called “proof texting.”  It’s poor scholarship and it’s dishonest.

    It's also called "cherry picking" quotes.

    Specifically, "cherry picking" results in a different impression than if you would have read the WHOLE thing in context.

  • I seem recall a Resistance group from around the year 2012 called the...."SSPX of the Strict Observance," or something like that, but the name didn't last. Was this Fr. Pfeiffer's group? It's an odd name, and not one that +ABL would likely have approved of, IMO.
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

    Yes, it was Fr. Pfeiffer’s group, but he did not come up with the name.  Someone else with an ax to grind with the SSPX from way before 2012 began using that name online without consulting Fr. Pf.  Yes, it’s a bizarre name supposed to sound pious. Someone else with better judgment convinced Fr. Pf. to get rid of it.

    Good to know. Thanks for the clarification.
