It's only lately, in your new "Dogmatic Sedeplenist" phase, that you're picking up downvotes like a child picks up candy after a pinata breaks.

It is my belief that this is the main reason for his latest manic behavior.

Strange. Over Holy Week, he posted on his blog all the ceremonies from SGG (sede) and had commented on how Catholics might have to go to sedevacantist chapels to receive sacraments. And then go all over the sedes on CI? Slightly strange turn of face.

Sean:

Perhaps you did not know it, but I knew it. And I think many others did too. That's exactly why it seemed very clear from the beginning that the Resistance could never become another SSPX-like organization. I never hoped for that so now that it hasn't happened neither am I downcast by it. I was always attracted to the wisdom and humility of those who knew we were nothing from the start. It is not guaranteed but if God chooses to develop this nothing, it will be in His own time and in His own manner, as long as we are happy to be nothing in the meantime.

"They also serve who only stand and wait." In fact, I'd say that is the most difficult kind of service. Yet it seems to be exactly what God is demanding at the moment. I've noticed in reading many lives of saints, they went through long periods of "nothing" before God called them out. This "nothingness" serves a purpose if only we know how to use it. Accept the humiliations. Focus on our families. Develop personal virtue. Give up control to God. I cannot see anything good happening until all of those conditions are met. Most especially we have to get to a place wherein we are profoundly and truly happy to be nothing!

From all my experience, including reading the entire book of Holy Scripture several times and hundreds of Lives of the Saints, this rings true. It's very wise and Catholic. And it would explain the current lack of earthly "success" of the Resistance. God is training us, purifying us, sanctifying us, testing us. Just as He has done with His closest friends for thousands of years.

Is that the explanation for why the Resistance isn't taking off "like a house on fire"? As a Catholic, I certainly can't rule it out.

Patience.

I don’t respect anyone who constantly fights and creates drama, like Fr Pfeiffer does or like Sean has been doing recently. The true catholic spirit is charity, meekness and humility - as the feast of the Sacred Heart teaches us.

I’m all for debates and civil disagreements, but juvenile name-calling and unending arguing is uncatholic. Sean, I hope you calm down and use your intellect to teach and preach - don’t let the devil trick you into fight mode. It’s a waste of your talents.

Yes, I noticed this also. On the forums in the past I had noticed he had been very anti-sede, yet on his blog he was posting videos from non-una cuм sedes, the same people he condemned on the forums. I thought he had changed his stance and become sede-friendly.
