if these notes are accurate, Fr. P is not going to say anything. It's better for these things to slip under the radar, and NOT confirm things like this. That way, even if we have notes from the conference, everyone will write it off as "hearsay" and "internet rumor" until it's too late.
He gets his conference, he influences his audience, but we don't get anything to wave around at people as we resist this march towards Modernism. Win-win for Fr. Pfluger.
A non-response by Fr. Pfluger to the request for clarification by the non-anonymous Sean Johnson should sufficiently confirm the veracity of the SSPX brother's notes.
That's the thing: a non response doesn't confirm. Oh, to us it looks suspicious. But there is plausible deniability in a non response.
Imagine this conversation:
Internal resister: Did you know that Fr. Pfluger complained in a conference that Bp. Tissier has been wrongly opposing the Society leadership's active pursuit of a deal to place the SSPX under control of the Pope without expecting from him any renunciation of modernism? Read these translated notes of Fr. Pfluger's conference.
Chapel priest: I haven't heard of this. Are these notes legit?
Internal resister: They were translated and published by the Resistance journal, The Recusant, and were reportedly provided by a French SSPX brother who wished to remain nameless but Sean Johnson, an SSPX faithful on the Cathinfo forum, emailed these notes to Fr. Pfluger's office requesting confirmation and never got a response. I also sent an email to Menzingen and they did not respond. Can you find out if these notes are legit or if the leadership is still pursuing a deal with the Pope?
