Did anybody read the VERY carefully worded PR piece put out on the sspx.org website regarding the funeral Mass provided for Erich Preibke?
All I've read about Erich Preibke is that he was some sort of convicted nαzι war criminal. Beyond that, I have no further knowledge of the man or what he did.
That said, I am disgusted by the SELECTIVE outage expressed by the usual, supposedly "tolerant" and "compassionate" liberal mob and their media lapdogs and the embarrassingly WEAK and almost apologetic response put out by the SSPX.
If the man was reconciled with the Church, why not boldly rejoice at his conversion and proclaim the message of TRUE mercy in a full-throated manner? Why let the wolves out there put you on the defensive?
There is nothing to apologize for . . . or sound apologetic about. This PR tip-toing is most unworthy of what the SSPX allegedly stands for!
That the Vatican kept its distance from the man and refused him a Catholic funeral is, of course, nothing new--very "pastoral" a la the "loving" Spirit of Vatican II, I guess.
On the other hand, what wouldn't they do for dead pro-abort politicians who probably died with more blood on their hands than did Preibke?
The typical cowardice, hypocrisy and selective outrage never ceases to outrage!
