Fr. Hewko stated:
"So, therefore, after several months of much prayer and reflection, it seems clearly the Will of
God that I help in the Resistance to the dismantling of Archbishop Lefebvre’s work, by assisting
the priests who want to maintain his principles. The present address is: Our Lady of Mount
Carmel, 1730 N. Stillwell Rd., Boston, Kentucky 40107"
CathMomof7, yes - for doing their duty these priests have been treated badly, including Fr. Libietis and others (think of Fr. Fox, Girouard , Bishop Williamson, etc.) - let's storm heaven for them, and at the same time give them what support we can here. It's been stated before: when the SSPX expels a priest they leave them with nothing. So far that has not been disputed by the SSPX.
BTW: They are starting adult catechism at our parish after at least a year w/out. Do you think our posts make a difference?
Uh oh. Adult Catechism is leading to something else? Is adult Cathechism leading to the big sell out?
We watched "40 Years of Fidelity: The history of the SSPX..not once but twice.
I believe that Bishop Fellay and Father Rostand and maybe others have been severely brainwashed or have accepted the "Silver". We need to deprogram them. Say some prayers for these lukewarm and those of NO too.
Also, the brave priests and of SSPX-SO thank you for being real Catholic Priests.
We aren't "trads" we are Roman Catholics.
Fr. Hector Bolduc purchased millions of dollars worth of real estate all over
America and set up SSPX parishes, including St. Mary's, KS and Winona, MN.
And what did he get for that? Unceremoniously kicked out with nothing, that's
what. But he kept on going, providing the Mass and sacraments to those who
needed him, and even with terminal cancer continued saying Mass, from Maine
to Minnesota, and died with his boots on. He never complained about his
expulsion, and never complained about his painful and terminal disease that
made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
I'm sorry, I find it bewildering that so many are thinking this is something new.
In 1973, just after Roe vs. Wade consecrated child sacrifice to the devil as
an official satanic ritual in the United States, Fr. Frederick Schell was ordered
under "obedience" to distribute Holy Communion in the Hand. He respectfully
declined. He gave a sermon to that effect, telling his faithful that "this well
may be my last sermon here in this church." He was correct. On May 27th
this year, on Pentecost Sunday, Fr. Pfeiffer gave a sermon in the Philippines
that lasted over an hour. He said the same words, "...my last sermon..." and
he too was correct.
This is nothing new. Fr. Schell was unceremoniously "thrown out" on the
street, and they took away his pension, his salary, his car, his health insurance,
his permission to enter, they took away everything. And it was only because
the faithful sought him out looking for the Traditional Canonized Latin Mass
that he was able to continue practicing his priesthood. His flock grew with the
spread of the word, and at its peak he was saying Mass on a regular schedule
from Carlsbad to Bakersfield, and from Ventura to Tustin. It's an area of
roughly 15,000 (fifteen thousand) square miles. How he was able to be in
all those places on a tight schedule is beyond my comprehension. But he put
a LOT of miles on his car. It takes 3 full time priests to keep up with his
schedule. After an artificial aorta operation, the surgeon gave him 10 years
to live. He kept saying Mass for 13 years, and died peacefully at home, as
he was walking from one room to another, a catastrophic aneurism got him.
He died with his boots on, and never complained about his circulation
problem or his unceremonious expulsion from the archdiocese of Los Angeles.
Do you want more stories? There is no shortage of stories.
Fr. Gommar de Pauw, Fr. Paul Trinchard, Fr. Paul Wickens, Fr. Alfred Jospeh Kunz,
martyr, Fr. Joseph Melito, Fr. Patrick Perez, Fr. Stephen Galambos, Canon Gregorius
Hesse, etc., etc.
Now, Fr. Pfeiffer is embarking on a WORLDWIDE Mass project, with Fr. Chazal,
Fr. Hewko, Fr. Ringrose, Fr. Voigt, and some 25 others. Okay, it's a bigger scale,
but it's the same principle. Bringing the Mass to people who ask for it over
impossibly large distances.
