Fr Cekada posted the following
His own observations
http://cathinfo-warning-pornography!/Ignis_Ardens/index.php?showtopic=10172
This makes some interesting points. The bottom line seems to be: The bottom line: Bp. Fellay will win the internal power struggle over the accord; even though there has been vocal internal opposition, if +Fellay signs, few members will leave; the various zig-zags of the past few weeks were merely a way of preparing people for the accord, which is more or less a done deal.
Then the link he makes reference to. (French)
http://tradinews.blogspot.com/2012/07/spo-...s-rebelles.html
My own view is this General Chapter will be a non event and a deal is inevitable. It's a matter of time. The deal appears off for now but Father Cekada is correct in some ways.
The majority of priests stationed in Ireland are pro-agreement. Few members will leave.Few laity will leave for two reasons.
Firstly, we are dealing with very small numbers. Some Irish chapels have a few dozen people attending. The SSPX have lost chapels in Ireland instead of gaining chapels.
Secondly, people have attended these chapels for decades and invested thousands of punt and now euro. They will hardly give them up without a fight. It will be inevitable if a deal is signed, Diocesan Bishops will be brought in for confirmations etc etc.
It is beyond doubt the SSPX have been preparing the flock for a deal.
Ireland has been a country that has suited both Indult (Summorum Pontificuм) and the SSPX. No real Independent chapels have emerged.
The SSPX need to remain independent of Rome and local Bishops. To be absorbed into NewChurch would mean all their apostolate would of been in vain.
It's worrying to think of a scenario of the likes of Bishop Williamson being expelled yet some pro-sodomite Bishop, a self style 'friend of the extra ordinary form' being brought in to a Society chapel for confirmations.

Essentially the article is stating that +Fellay still desires to make a deal with Rome; that the two moves that he recently made: 1. The excluding of +Williamson from the G.C. and not ordaining the members of the religious orders opposed to the deal 2. The rejecting of the last proposed preamble. Where just manouvers to appease Rome by the first and the SSPX priests and faithful by the Second.
But all in the name of preparing everyone for an eventual accord.
That +Fellay has the backing of enough of the members of the G.C. To resist any move to remove him.
The article goes on to state that there is about 2/3 of the members that are in favor of an accord and about 1/3 opposed. That even if an accord is signed, very few of the "hard liners" will actually leave; and they quote as evidence Fr. Xavier Beauvais, who stated that: "I am against an agreement but that I wouldn't go against an agreement"
I don't believe Dawn Marie in relation to this
It's called propaganda by LaCroix.
They know the General Chapter began today. This looks like they want to sway it's outcome, much like politicians and media outlets do here in the states before and during elections.
Hopefully whatever emerges from this General Chapter will be that which is most pleasing to Our Lord and Our Lady, nothing more nothing less.
As an aside, last I heard, Father's Nely and Phluger were no longer in agreement with +Fellay on an agreement.
Let's hope they keep that stand.
With the 'Williamson Affair' and with 'Krahgate' it became obvious the 'hard liners' are few and far between.
A deal is a reality and resisting clerics will be expelled. Of course Bishop Fellay still desires a deal with Rome.

John,
You are probably right about the chapter. Judging from Bishop Fellay's recent, and not so recent, actions,I do not think he would have allowed the Chapter if he was in any peril and its end was not a foregone conclusion. As was floated before ,they are likely to announce the structure and terms of the agreement, not debate it.
But one must pause to remember the statements and activities of Bishops Mueller, and DiNoia. How does Bishop Fellay get around it when they have truly blown away any cover or ambiquity surrounding Rome's intentions to reconfigure the Society? It seems that it will be much harder, if not impossible, to convince priests who are wavering and concerned that it would be a good thing to move forward. But the current crop of priests has been conditioned to this over the last ten years.
I would also think that some opposers might have kept quite so as not to be excluded from the Chapter? However, Bishop Fellay could simply refuse to acknowledge the Chapter's authority to deny his power to do as he wills.
That being in accordance with the groundwork of statements claiming his sole authority within the Society.

Let's not forget this regarding Fr Pfluger
http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php?a=topic&t=18567&min=60
A participant on another forum mentions this from Fr N Pfluger. Fr N Pfluger is an associate of Max Krah.

Quote:
Father N. Pfluger gave last Sunday (29. 4. 2012) a speech in Hattersheim/Germany about a possible agreement with Rome.
In his speech Fr. Pfluger explained that Msgr. Fellay does no longer insist on a clarification of the theological differences between the Conciliar Church and the SSPX before an agreement could be accepted.
The reason for this change is, that the Pope is personally so interested in an agreement, that he does no longer demand the acceptance of Vatican Council II or the NOM from the SSPX. He is also ready to give the SSPX full autonomy from the bishops.
If the society doesn’t accept this offer, then it has to expect a new excommunication on the grounds of schism.
In his letter from April 15th, Msgr. Fellay wrote, that he would accept this new offer and announced an agreement if Rome really doesn’t demand anything more.

And the piece on Fr Pfluger
http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php?a=topic&t=18567&min=60
New material has emerged regarding Dello Sarto
http://cathinfo-warning-pornography!/Ignis_Ardens/index.php?showtopic=9298
Quote:
In light of all the recent evidence of the society heading towards a “marriage” with Concilliar Rome, I thought that it might be a worthwhile exercise to revisit some of the companies specific to Switzerland and Germany, that the hierarchy of the Society “own” or are directors/presidents thereof. Swiss company records give a lot more “free” information than other countries, so it is more transparent to find relevant information, without having to pay for that information as in other countries. Swiss company records are still limited insofar as they require a fee to check on shareholder information, company returns and such. Therefore in order to do detailed research of these companies one needs to outlay significant fees, and so for the moment we have to rely on the free information.
What would be the purpose of revisiting this? Hopefully we can build up more of this puzzle. The society is possibly embarking on massive changes, and perhaps a second glance at these companies by the intelligent IA community may help with the puzzle, and maybe we can understand if motives are good or otherwise. Not implying that there is anything wrong per se, but rather let’s examine the [factual] evidence.
There has been an obvious flurry of corporate activity especially since late 2008 by the SSPX. The most controversial one is Dello Sarto AG, a fully paid commercial company with a working capital of CHF100,000.
See: http://www.moneyhouse.ch/en/u/p/g/dello_sa...3.033.031-9.htm
Controversial in that a lay person has been appointed with single signature authority and is a member of the Administrative board, and sole member of the Management board. Furthermore, that lay person has very close business ties to another person who represents a company that is auditor to Dello Sarto. Yes, he is the same person who appears to have gone out of his way to destroy Bishop Williamson’s reputation. The other person with single signature authority is +BF, and the other two Priests – Frs. Pfluger and Baudot require each of their respective signatures. Conjecture: The lawyer layman, it appears, is more trustworthy than the two Priests to be have been given single signatory authority.
The stated purpose of Dello Sarto is (google translated): “Advice on asset management issues and the care and management of assets of domestic and foreign individuals, corporations, foundations and other bodies, particularly of natural and legal persons who are of Catholic morals, religion and morality in their traditional sense of obligation and see, and the execution of projects of all kinds, especially construction projects for the persons named, as well as advising on the implementation of these projects; whole purpose paraphrase statutes in accordance with”
Then there is the German trust “Jaidhofer Private Foundation” a SSPX entity that the same lawyer as above uses/lists as his sponsor for the EMBA Global (Business School). As with many private foundations or trusts, the internal structure, beneficiaries, trustees can be made opaque to external eyes. For lack of a better word, that information is secret.
Both Dello Sarto and Jaidhofer were set up in 2008 to begin operation in 2009.
Another SSPX company that was curious was STPI Société Tradition Patrimoine Immobilier Sàrl. It has a fully paid up capital of CHF160,000 requiring the signatures of two of the following: +BF, and Frs. Baudot and Schmidberger. The current shareholders are: “The share capital of CHF 160'000 now consists of 160 shares of CHF 1,000, held by Bernard Fellay, Schmidberger Franz, now in Stuttgart (Germany), Alfonso Genua Galarreta and Niklaus Pfluger, Menzingen now, all four each with 40 shares of CHF 1,000 (previously every four each with a share of CHF 40,000). Emeric Baudot was elected chairman of the managers.”
See: http://www.moneyhouse.ch/en/u/p/stpi_socie...1.031.472-9.htm
It was originally set up in 2002 with the following aim: [translated]“buying, selling, brokerage, management, promotion and enhancement of buildings, including that it can make available to the Priestly Society of St. Pius X for its activities, and any real estate, management and administration of securities of all kinds.”
There has been a subtle change in the company’s statutes: [translated] “Statutes updated on 9 November 2010. Obligation to provide ancillary benefits, preferential rights, preemptive or emption: for details, see the articles.”
Obviously one needs to sight the articles for explanation of these changes, but the wording appears to be consistent with providing the shareholders (or other parties) with distributions and/or other benefits. Curious that this clause was added – and again – it was after 2008/2009.
There is also a USA connection, yet this too is limited on the information that can be found out.
See: http://www.corporationwiki.com/Texas/El-Pa...c/32030676.aspx
You can go through other US States besides Texas, and you will also see +BF, Frs. Schmidberger and Baudot as part of the organizations.
What does this all mean? Perhaps nothing. But as I stated in the beginning, in the light of current activities, maybe this is now telling us something new?

http://www.spes-unica.de/aktuell/nachrichten/2012/120501_abkommen/
John,
It actually appears that the situation is turning out to be that the Society will no longer demand doctrinal orthodoxy and Rome will indeed demand that the Society submit to doctrinal heterodoxy=acceptance of Vatican II, Nostra Aetate, and the Judaic narrative of Catholicity.

Reading Fr. Celier's comments on La-Croix, sounds like he's eager to get to Rome and start putting his book (on the hybrid missal) into effect by leadind the "reform of the reform" for BXVI. If + Fellay and his priests supporters are not alarmed by the new appointments to the CDF, they are far gone! May God help anyone that follows them.

I find it hard to believe myself John, considering what Fr. Phluger has done over the last several years including the 10 page hate filled letter given to Bishop Williamson.
Having said that I do not discount it totally because Fr. Phluger may at least have a modicuм of common sense to recognize that the opposition is to overwhelming for them to get away with it.

I just received a message of invite to a Mass celebrated by an Institute Christ the King priest. I had sharp words with the girl who sent it in the past. She is hostile to Bishop Williamson. She still sends me invites to Mass offered by Institute Christ the King priests. Only for the fact she is to marry a friend of mine, I would tell her to get lost.
What annoyed me most was some SSPX attendee's said it was ok to attend the Institute Christ King Mass.
I'm very hostile to the Institute and FSSP. Despite everything we should stick with the SSPX or Independent priests. I am open to sede chapels within reason.
I have been a home aloner for several weeks now but hope to get back to a SSPX chapel.
There is a limit of options in Ireland.

Do you think it is possible I was fed a line of bull about the two Father's?
I'm asking that in all sincerity since it becomes difficult to know who is telling the truth and who is not anymore. Or just maybe that the person who said it didn't have their facts straight. They also said that +Fellay was going to have a heck of a time trying to push any deal through if he still planned on going through with it.
I do admit when I was told this my first instinct was, concerning Fr. Phluger, that it seemed far fetched.
But then I considered that maybe he had brains enough to realize the opposition was to much.

A maybe interesting anecdote concerning this hate letter of Fr Pfluger (not Phluger) to Bishop Williamson in the end of 2010 respectively in the beginning of 2011:
Max Krah not only helped Fr Pfluger in writing this vicious letter (generally speaking both men work together very closely), but the original electronic letter shows as docuмent creator this: MK. (You can view the properties of the PDF file to see this.)
Well, this of course is the Mossad friend Max Krah's initials "MK", which he also used as nickname for hundreds of modernistic postings on German Internet forums during the recent years. These initials in that hate letter prove that the letter was even created on Max Krah's computer. Maybe he has some template from the Mossad for this? They're very good in propaganda warfare.
No, don't trust Fr Pfluger (or Bp Fellay). He implanted the Mossad man Krah into the SSPX and is his mentor. If you look at the words and actions of Fr Pfluger and Bp Fellay of the last years, and in particular of the last months, there's the logical working assumption that Fr Pfluger and Bp Fellay can't be as silly as it looks like. So their words and actions are happening intentionally. And so they got backers who work for the enemies of Our Lord.
A deserved and influential priestly follower of the Archbishop labeled with good reason Fr. Pfluger as The Daemon of the SSPX. And this good priest does not easily say that.
-
It is very likely that Mr. Krah will be a de facto member of the chapter, both hearing what he is not supposed to hear as well advising his "clients" when he has no place to do so. That is to say, advancing his handler's agenda within the Chapter.

Being at it, I just saw John's bumping of an old thread, which can be helpful however to this thread, too:
Bp. Williamson verifies essential truth of docuмents (http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php/Bp-Williamson-verifies-essential-truth-of-docuмents)
(There I linked to the Internet postings of Krah with his two nicknames "Pius XII" and "MK28".)
P.S.
In an humorously way the initials MK not only stand for Max Krah but also for Mossad Krah.
Actually I think this is very funny.

John,
You are probably right about the chapter. Judging from Bishop Fellay's recent, and not so recent, actions,I do not think he would have allowed the Chapter if he was in any peril and its end was not a foregone conclusion. As was floated before ,they are likely to announce the structure and terms of the agreement, not debate it.
But one must pause to remember the statements and activities of Bishops Mueller, and DiNoia. How does Bishop Fellay get around it when they have truly blown away any cover or ambiquity surrounding Rome's intentions to reconfigure the Society? It seems that it will be much harder, if not impossible, to convince priests who are wavering and concerned that it would be a good thing to move forward. But the current crop of priests has been conditioned to this over the last ten years.
I would also think that some opposers might have kept quite so as not to be excluded from the Chapter? However, Bishop Fellay could simply refuse to acknowledge the Chapter's authority to deny his power to do as he wills.
That being in accordance with the groundwork of statements claiming his sole authority within the Society.
Perhaps B Fellay is meant to sign ... God allow's things to happen for ultimate good. Perhaps the SSPX will be absorbed into the Church ... and be no longer visible. Perhaps the 'visible' Church will continue to become more and more modern until it becomes invisible. Those who remain faithful to Archbishop L will be persecuted, go underground, etc... And then when the time is right ... all very melodramatic but maybe that is what is coming?
Perhaps more priests will come forward should the agreement go ahead and either a new SSPX will go forward or many will be independant.
God's will be done

Pehaps this is so. If the Society is indeed dragged into an agreement, then our only concern with them, at that point, will be to avoid them.
We will remain faithful with those priests who do the same.

From "Capablanca" on IA:
For Pete's sake, what does it take to get through to those who don't want to believe it ? The deal is dead. The single most fanatical accordista in the SSPX was Bishop Fellay and he has announced that it is clearly impossible to sign what he has been asked to sign.
There are big issues to be discussed about the present and future of the SSPX but whether a deal is imminent isn't one of them. The deal is dead.
And it has been killed by "Rome" - they have deliberately raised the stakes to a level they knew perfectly well to be unacceptable. And since they have done so they are no longer even pretending to be traditional. Ratzi's mask has fallen even further - and it was already somewhere around his ankles ! Once the letter of the three bishops was "leaked" (as intended) they had won - Fellay had no united SSPX to deliver. The Vatican wasn't interested in half or even two thirds or three quarters.
I am getting the impression that the most fervent pro-accordistas and the most fervent anti-accordistas are the only ones who haven't got the message that there is no longer a deal on the menu to refuse. It's over.
The immediate question is whether Bishop Fellay, despite having ruined the Society's (apparent) unity for nothing can still cling to power. He deserves to lose it, but that is because he has failed, not because he might succeed.
-
I agree with Capablanca that Rome has killed the deal, but haven't ruled out that if +Fellay continues on for six more years that he'll remove the most vocal opponents and then try again.

For Pete's sake, what does it take to get through to those who don't want to believe it ? The deal is dead. The single most fanatical accordista in the SSPX was Bishop Fellay and he has announced that it is clearly impossible to sign what he has been asked to sign.
There are big issues to be discussed about the present and future of the SSPX but whether a deal is imminent isn't one of them. The deal is dead.
And it has been killed by "Rome" - they have deliberately raised the stakes to a level they knew perfectly well to be unacceptable. And since they have done so they are no longer even pretending to be traditional. Ratzi's mask has fallen even further - and it was already somewhere around his ankles ! Once the letter of the three bishops was "leaked" (as intended) they had won - Fellay had no united SSPX to deliver. The Vatican wasn't interested in half or even two thirds or three quarters.
I am getting the impression that the most fervent pro-accordistas and the most fervent anti-accordistas are the only ones who haven't got the message that there is no longer a deal on the menu to refuse. It's over.
The immediate question is whether Bishop Fellay, despite having ruined the Society's (apparent) unity for nothing can still cling to power. He deserves to lose it, but that is because he has failed, not because he might succeed.
The deal is absolutely not dead. Only because information flowed too freely, +Fellay changed his rhetoric and put the grand finale on hold for a short while. Menzigen will begin purges immediately after the Chapter while saying "see, +Fellay was looking out for us all along, and we must be rid of those who caused dissension". The good priests who spoke the truth will be forced to publicly recant, or get pitched out the gate with "sedevacantist" tattooed across their foreheads.
There's also evidence at least one was fed a barium meal, and unfortunately may be made out to be a fool for mentioning it in an otherwise brilliant sermon, but more on that if it comes to pass.

I agree with Capablanca that Rome has killed the deal, but haven't ruled out that if +Fellay continues on for six more years that he'll remove the most vocal opponents and then try again.
The decree reads:
Extermination of All Opposition
Buckle up! We're entering into the "Laity Faze"...
Sacramental extortion coming to a Chapel near you.

Charles,
Were you drinking heavily when you wrote the above? Could you perhaps re-write it when you're sober?
Thanks.

Are you really going to bring all that drama from Ignis over to CathInfo, Benson? :smoke-pot:

Neither drinking nor Charles, but if any part needs further explanation for you, ask.
It's a rough approximation of how Menzigen will proceed, from a source closer to the strategy room than anyone on Ignis (so far as I know).

I'm sorry, but again and again you display the greatest confusion over facts.
I'm not, and never was, Benson. The double-ID poster on IA accused me of that quite falsely, and I can only imagine that was because, as I always say, we all judge by our own standards, so that guilty minds imagine that others share their guilt. The same principle illustrates why good people are generally naive, and wicked people cynical. People with doubtful motives are always ready to accuse others of evil intent.
As for bringing "drama" here, go and have a look at the aggressive and nasty posts Charles St-George has made here against John Lane, then you can work out who has brought "drama" here from elsewhere.
At least his dragon didn't arrive in his train, as usually seems to happen.
Now, back to the topic. Did you understand what Charles wrote above? I didn't, and I don't usually have any difficulty with reading comprehension. Perhaps you could explain it.

What does this mean? "There's also evidence at least one was fed a barium meal, and unfortunately may be made out to be a fool for mentioning it in an otherwise brilliant sermon, but more on that if it comes to pass."
The rest of the post is prophesying. I don't suppose we'll see any retraction and humble apology if the prophecies are proved wrong, but I've seen stranger things, so who knows?

It means that +Fellay is suspect of disseminating false or misleading information via otherwise credible channels, with the aim of learning who would react and how. That's all I'll say on that point for now.
Prophesying? I suppose you shan't hesitate to remind me ad nauseam if it turns out to be wrong. In that case, I'll humbly endure your public badgering for jumping the gun as my penance.
In either case we won't be waiting long for the next phase, but ignore it to your own peril.

No problem, I have been wrong before.
I was wrong about Bishop Fellay, that's for sure. I still rub my eyes and wonder how he could have been suckered into this nonsense, with every wise head telling him it's wrong, wrong, wrong.

Thank you for the explanation.
With all the 'secrecy' going on there is an uncomfortable feeiling that something is amiss and it is not possible to just 'trust'... I wonder at how many don't feel this?
How in early June B Fellay did not have a date for a meeting and then is suddenly 'called' to Rome and arrives on the 13th??!! Experience tells me that organising meetings, particularly more complex ones, demands plenty of notice period, organisation of flights, accommodation, etc, and then silence until the 13th when he is in Rome???!!! :stare:

Just about everybody, I reckon.
But the bombshell by "rome" on St. Anthony's Day and the General Chapter happening now are both answers to the rosary crusades, surely, and the latter will secure the benefit delivered by the former.
Just keep praying for the members of the General Chapter!
