If +Williamson and/or +Faure feel the need to have a younger bishop join the episcopal ranks, then I wholeheartedly recommend Father Chazal.  He would have been my choice to head up the SSPX-SO (when first constituted after the "Vienna delcaration").  I personally know all but one of the priests in that first group and consider him the most qualified to lead.

What is confusing in this post is that Fr. Chazal says that he will agree with Fr. Kramer when BXVI passes away.

I take this as a bit of a joke.  

Ok. I can see that. He has a good sense of humor from what I have seen. That makes sense.

Quote from: Franciscan Solitary

 there is then a great deal of hard work to be done.
 

Can you explain what you mean?  What can be done that isn't already being done?

An immense question and surely larger than life for a blog comment.  In general what is not being done is the embrace of the Holy Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  It is a selfish refusal to face up to the role of tragedy in Christendom and her divine history.  It is the exclusion of the predominant aristocratic Roman element from our Catholic education and civilisation.  

In our religion the Trinity is broadly present among us through the Roman Catholic Three Estates, in which the common people show forth the Holy Ghost, the clergy shows forth the Father and the nobility or warrior class shows forth Our Lord Himself.  Since the human race is redeemed and human beings saved specifically by Our Lord, for we humans He is much the most important among the three persons of the Blessed Trinity.  Especially in practical terms.

Therefore for the Traditional Catholics noblesse oblige.   Much is expected from those to whom so much has been given.  Like it or not, we have the glory and burden of being the divine nobility of the sad and forlorn human race.  That is the actual reality of our situation in these singularly apocalyptic end times.  We are gravely duty-bound to establish a functioning Roman Catholic episcopacy with its associated Catholic education and civilisation.  Our laymen have the gravest possible moral obligation to ensure the military security of our entire Roman Folk or Christian People of God.

Is that being done or do we instead see mostly clever manoeuvrings for career purposes showing little more intelligence than those who might have put their entire effort into rearranging the deck chairs on the inexorably sinking H.M.S. Titanic?  One must rest one's case.  The evidence is clear...

We have sufficient numbers of Roman Catholic bishops, mostly outside the Novus Ordo organisation.  We have sufficient Catholic Nationalist leaders as well.  Therefore enough of this senile nonsense that so much resembles the counting of the numbers of angels on the heads of pins.  There is much serious work for adult Catholic men and women to be doing.  Episcopacy, education, health care, military security, the innumerable facets of our Roman Catholic civilisation, the work is there to be done.

But that would require Traditional Catholics to abandon the illusory comforts of feigned fideist imbecility and to remove the narrow blinders placed on us by the sterile and cowardly false pride of rationalism.  In other words, by a virtually Anabaptist Pentecostalism and by Jansenism.  It would require the apostolic courage to be the true nobility of this world and thereby pick up our Crosses and follow Our Lord in His divine and fearless warrior nobility.

In our time, in this fierce 21st Century, nothing less will do.

 

This is sedeprivationism, a belief developed by Fr. Guerard des Lauriers OP, Professor of Marian Theology at Econe in the 70's.

Of course it is.  I started a thread called something like "Father Chazal Sedeprivationist."  Father Chazal would never admit this even though the position he articulated is substantially identical to that of sedeprivationism.

If Fr Chazal really believes this, he will have to abandon any belief in Fatima, as there is no Pope to consecrate Russia. A merely material pope won't do!

Silly.  There's nothing to stop a material pope from becoming a formal pope at any time.  That is in fact one of the most consoling consequences of sedeprivationism, which eliminates most of the objections against sedevacantism, and it's based on some very very solid theology by Bishop Guerard des Lauriers.

Not so silly. You make it sound as if the Pope can pop in and out like a man in a Swiss weather house.

I don't make it sound like anything.  According to the principles of sedeprivationism any pope in material succession can at some point convert and resume formal exercise of the office.  So there's nothing to prevent a Fatima consecration in the sedeprivationist framework.  You're claiming that sedeprivationism rules out a consecration to Russia by a legitimate pope.  It does not.
