There is much spin and disinformation, untruths coming from Menzingen and it's lakeys/lapdogs.
Father Joseph Pfeiffer is being accused of creating a crisis... here is a youtube video (in Spanish and Portuguese) that demonstrates even the Latin American Priests and Monks 'smelled a rat'.
As you will see, Menzingen prepared the Latin SSPX Superiors with tactics designed to quash Priests that stood up for Truth.
Menzingen prepared it's enforcers even before the Faithful realized they were being decieved.

Fr. Cardozo, Jan. 28, 2013, Monastery Santa Cruz
I was born in Argentina, and studied in veterinary school in Buenos Aires; it was through my veterinary studies that I met Archbishop Lefebvre. After meeting him I decided to change vocations. I left veterinary school and entered the seminary school at La Reja. After my studies at La Reja, at which I was a second seminarian, graduated, I went to Portugal. Between Portugal and Spain I spent 12 years. After Spain and Portugal I went to Mexico for two and one-half years. At which time I built 4 churches. During these times of hard labor in Mexico, I began to detect strange things occurring in the SSPX, this was in 2009. Things became so seriously wrong I had to resign my position in the Mexico City priory. This presented a problem as Bishop Fellay did not know where to send me; the moon perhaps. Ecuмenical situation in Mexico resulted in my assignment to Brazil. I had my home in Argentina to retreat to but I figured as long as doctrine remained strong in the SSPX, I would continue in the SSPX, and Sao Paolo, Brazil.
Things remained strange in the Society, as they had presented themselves in Mexico. The Faithful there began to ask “what is happening in the Society”. I used the autobiography of Archbishop Lefebvre to answer the Faithfull’s questions. After a few days I was confronted by the Superior in Sao Paolo, and was asked about my responses to the faithful. This was because I was alerting, subtly, the faithful about the grave circuмstances happening in the Society. On Good Shepherd Sunday of 2012, I decided I could not deceive my sheep any further by not speaking out.
I demonstrated clearly to the faithful using the biography of Archbishop Lefebvre. The Superior General of the SSPX is contradicting the founder of the Society. I knew that would be my last sermon there and I told the faithful this will be my last sermon here. Things became scandalous. The superior told me you are a traitor. I asked him what do you mean I am a traitor. Let’s just see who is the traitor here. Me for remembering what Archbishop Lefebvre said always, or you for changing the message of Archbishop Lefebvre.
I saw things only become worse, providentially I met Father Tomas de Aquino, and he offered me to join him at his monetary. I had known Fr. Tomas de Aquino because he had previously asked me take the confessions of the monks. I became the confessor of the convent. I was torn between staying at the monetary or taking the offer of two families that offered to receive me, or go back to my home, or to Mexico. Fr. Tomas Aquino called me to ask that I confess the monks. I took that opportunity to tell him of the situation I was in “what do you think, could I go to your place for a while” I asked him because I considered making a retreat at the monetary. A spiritual retreat and take a sabbatical until things became more clear. With that plan in place Fr. Aquino said yes by all means.
I came here and the Superior of Quito, made an appointment for me to visit him. He was very cordial. He told me I have a passion for your priesthood. I told him my problem was doctrinal, not sacerdotal, as I saw it. The hierarchy of the fraternity is being unfaithful to the doctrine of the faith in order to fit in well with Rome. We were not going to reach an agreement on what the problem was so I told Fr. Dethancourt we could not reach an accord. If he persisted in capitulating.
Just as I was to make a retreat, then take a sabbatical, the letter to the three bishops was released by Bishop Fellay. I quickly saw this as a major turning point for the Society. A turning away from the position held by Archbishop Lefebvre in defense of the faith, to the eventual worship of his Excellency Bishop Fellay. It can be established as the date for the end of the SSPX. The physical date to call it the Neo-SSPX, or sect of Fellay, or whatever name they want to give it. But it is no longer the SSPX. When the head of the SSPX says, “95% of Vat II is correct and only 5 percent is bad, negotiable that Pope Benedict is a good pope that is concerned for Tradition that the Conciliar Church is the Catholic Church, that is heresy. When I saw those three sustained errors (I am even afraid to repeat them) when I saw B. Fellay attack the three bishops that were orthodox that were still in line with Archbishop Lefebvre, if he answered his three colleagues that way (they were calling attention to the errors he was committing) and to their face he reproached them. I decided we could no longer accept anything from Bishop Fellay. He had become a modernist in a Catholic. We could no longer be a part of so many who no longer shared our same faith. He was no longer Catholic. At that point, I said “Our relationship just ended”. I decided to leave that new Fraternity and remain in the SSPX that Archbishop Lefebvre founded. Just as in the years 1969 and 1970, Archbishop Lefebvre exited the Conciliar Church to preserve the Faith, to preserve the priesthood, to reject the new mass and all its surroundings I left the new Society that I may not lose my priesthood, my faith. I knew had I followed Bishop Fellay, and this new Society, I would lose my faith.
I do not think we need to debate the crisis in the Conciliar Church; its fruits are plain to see. If the head of the Society, the head of Tradition, Bishop Fellay, if he aligns himself with liberal principals of the Conciliar Church, the new church. It is evident I cannot follow that superior. When God grants me the intelligence to know the Truth, not to follow error, when I identified that the head of the Traditional Church is aligning it with the Conciliar Church (our catechism teaches us this), I must say ”the Superior has lost his faith”.
As I told the faithful in my sermons, Archbishop Lefebvre did not want to live with New Rome. He wanted Rome to convert, while when I see the Superior say he wants to join Rome this is not what the Archbishop wanted. The actions of the Holy Father at Assisi III and other actions like it should have put off Bishop Fellay from wanting to join Rome. I cannot believe Archbishop Lefebvre would ever think of joining Rome under those circuмstances. It is a fact that we have to realize that the Superior General of the Society must follow in the line of its founder. When he leaves that line and the congregations that follow him as well. They become a part of the crisis in the Church.
For these reasons I sent out a petition for signatures of the faithful calling for the resignation of Bishop Fellay. I believe that he wants to join Rome, if he wants to be a modernist of Rome then by all means he should, just don’t drag all the rest of us in with him. He and his could do as he wishes and account for his soul before God. But he cannot put the full weight of his authority in negotiations which go counter to the principles of the Congregation that is a mistake, an error. There are many priests in the Society that recognize this grave error but do not act. They do not want to lose their comfortable position, they’re hot meals. When the Holy Father voiced the errors of Vatican Council II the entire Society stood up for Tradition, against those errors. Now, however, when Bishop Fellay utters an approval of those errors, hardly anyone cries out against it. I believe this is due to the stability of the SSPX over the years. The faithful do not want their stability interrupted. The fight has worn on them. They are easily tired, as well as the priests of the Society. We have stopped combating error; however the fight goes on and on. Which should remember St. Paul says “the fight will go on and on”.
The life of a Christian is to fight, even if Rome converted from error, we would still be fighting and being persecuted. I think my colleagues have given up the fight. They stopped, claiming to be tired. But persecution will still be there even if error is not. But it is up to us to continue to fight error to not surrender to it. I think we are back to the time when Archbishop Lefebvre stood up. He was one Bishop against it all. The media, the powers that be, a crazy man defending the undependable. And Divine Providence enters because the truth cannot be smashed. It gave him what he needed, “we are the light of the world, the salt of the earth” Archbishop Lefebvre did not abandon the Faith. We go out as priests performing our Holy Ministry or the people will crush us. Archbishop Lefebvre demonstrated the fight for Christ the King, is a valiant one. And he decided not to give the victory, the enemies of Christ.
What we priests need to do is to continue working for the Social Kingship of Christ, for Holy Mother Church. We cannot leave this struggle. If we are a few now, tomorrow we will be more, and the day after even more, as God commands. Thanks be to God we are receiving candidates for the seminary, here in the US, and other countries, here in Brazil we have 13 preparing for the priesthood. We are fighting for Christ for the Truth, for Holy Mother Church. We might make a few mistakes here and there, but we will nevertheless continue to fight. If we here, in Latin America, have doubts we look to the Resistance in Boston, Kentucky, at the strength, faith and fervor of those priests who work tirelessly for our Lord. These efforts encourage us; the Resistance Priests are working with conviction.
I look upon the priests that remain in the Fraternity and it pains me. They don’t know what to do, or what is to befall them. They say I shall remain because in a few months no one will think of the Accord. Now much time has passed and they remain timid, I think many of them are losing sleep over this. The famous Argentine proverb “We are Catholics, or we are nothing”, we the priesthood are working for the Glory of God and the salvation of souls. I think when the Faithful have a priest that gives them Truth that should support him. If they’re only there for security to be assured this vehicle will provide them stability, they believe to have this, so they remain with Bishop Fellay and his error. There is no sin involved with the Faithful discerning a problem, in choosing to become part of the Resistance.
Precisely because of the misinformation coming from the neo-SSPX this new congregation of Faithful still has confidence in Bishop Fellay. I read the famous quotation the other day that states “the greater parts of priests that are condemned are so because of the sin of omission. “ by not giving proper information to the faithful. They do not give proper information to the faithful because the leadership does not provide it, and they do not seek it as they work in the oven of the Church.
They believe they can save the Fraternity, that they can save souls maintaining the status quo. They act as though they need error in order for them to triumph. It is true that on one side we have the great example of Archbishop Lefebvre; he began to fight when he could have gone home to rest. So if a 70 year old man can begin to fight a grand fight, by that example how can I say I am not able to fight. I as well could have gone to my home and rested.
I have chosen to follow in the footsteps of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.
God bless you all in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
