Dr. Chojnowski: Of course I cannot reveal my sources for any of this discussion as to the frontrunners for the position of Superior General of the SSPX, so take this with a "grain of salt."

With regard to the leading candidates being mentioned with only 2 1/2 weeks until the General Chapter on July 11th, here is the information I have heard about the situation:
 
 Leading Candidates:
 
 1st: Fr. David Pagliarani: Has been the leading candidate for at least 6 months. Is favored by the more  "conservative" of the SSPX priests. Was District Superior of Italy and is now Superior of the SSPX seminary in La Reja, Argentina. I will post an interview with Fr. Pagliarani below.
 
 2nd: Fr. Jurgen Wegner: Former District Superior of Canada and current District Superior of the United States. I have not heard his name mentioned for this position in the past, his name has just emerged strongly recently. I would say he is the dark horse moving quickly up to the front.
 
 3rd: Fr. Yves le Roux: Priest who replaced Bishop Williamson in the American Seminary in 2003. Has molded the whole life of the seminary for the past 15 years. Is considered a possible compromise candidate and a "centrist."
 
 4th: Fr. Niklaus Pfluger: 1st Assistant and the one in charge of transfers for a number of years now. Has been called "the power behind the throne." Recently, he said publicly that come July he "would not be in a leadership position in the SSPX." Treat that statement as you will.
 
 5th: Bishop Bernard Fellay: Superior General for an entire generation. Has stated that he does not want to be considered again for the position of Superior General. His re-re-elction is not likely, but who knows.
 
 I post below the 3 parts of an interview in 2011 with Fr. David Pagliarani, the frontrunner. This interview comes from the SSPX's website, sspx.org:
 
 Interview with Fr. Davide Pagliarani: (see link above for interview)

I hope it's not Fr. Wegner.

He is very money-focused amd materialistic.

He also handled the debacle at Post Falls very badly.

He seems suited to the Novus Ordo/Vatican framework, which is scary. 

Fr. Wegner, small in stature, is not a leader, but he is very shrewd and administratively competent.

He's the effective administrator behind the leaders.  

For the ICA Post Falls Scandal, it's obvious he decisively shut down the sex scandal with the families using a private financial settlement.  

How else could he publicly boast after the private meetings with affected parties, that: "The scandal was over" ?

Fr. Wegner is an "operator", a priest of this world and if he were to be elected SG, he will wilt under the spotlight.

They don't hold elections. 
They don't even have a bishop.

         The General Chapter starts on a Sour Note





    

"Okay, who's the wise-guy who wrote "Williamson!" on the ballot card ?"

Why don't we have such threads about other ecclesia Dei groups like the FSSP, or Christ the King?

We should. They are the same thing as the SSPX.

Well, not yet anyway.  I do think SSPX will be another indult group eventually.

Well, not yet anyway.  I do think SSPX will be another indult group eventually.

They ARE another indult group. That is my point.

The only reason people equivocate on this is because they are compromised by attending the SSPX for sacraments. And some of our resistance priests are encouraging this! Such wimps!
