OPEN LETTER TO FR PFEIFFER
Dear Fr Pfeiffer,
With respect, Father:
For the love of God, for the love of souls, for the love of your seminarians and faithful, for the salvation of your own soul:
Take stock, Father, and see to what you have come. It seems the whole Catholic world can see what you cannot. Take a break, Father, have a good rest, do a retreat. You have worn yourself down to the point where you can no longer think.
You say the Blessed Virgin Mary has given you charge of 15 seminarians. What have you done with them, Father? Where have you led them? You accuse Bishop Williamson of having orphaned them, but is it not you, Father, who has left them orphaned? Is it not you who have led them up a dead end with no bishop?
You wanted Bishop Williamson to be the leader of the Resistance, but with respect Father, were you able to submit to him when he advised that you were not suited to running a seminary? You demand that he consecrate you a bishop, but in the Church, is it not the priests who should submit to the Bishops and not vice versa? Unless of course it would put the Faith in danger. But is the survival of Catholic Tradition really dependent upon Fr Pfeiffer being consecrated bishop and being seminary rector?
Father, you are capable of a great act of humility: surrender your seminary to one of the Resistance bishops to run as they see fit and submit yourself to them without reserve. You, your seminarians and faithful would no longer be orphans, and would become the pride and joy of us all and our hope for the future. You in turn would be the admiration of the entire Resistance and would be remembered by all for your zealous work perfected by your humility. I need not tell you, Father, how God exalts the humble. It gives us sure access to His grace, it is the only safe way here below. In an instant you could transform the fight for the Faith and again give the faithful cause to rejoice. You know very well that you would not have to compromise one iota, you would be continuing the work of Archbishop Lefebvre just as he bequeathed it to us. No Novus Ordo, no submission to Conciliar authorities, no strange 'bishops'. Your situation could only improve.
Please, Father, stop this unholy war which is neither for the glory of God, nor the salvation of souls. Make this heroic act of humility which will bring down God's grace in abundance. You owe it to your seminarians. You owe it to the Queen of Heaven who gave you care of them. The salvation of many souls depends upon it.
May the Blessed Virgin obtain for you this great grace.
With my prayers, united with those of the many like-minded priests and faithful,
Respectfully in Christ Our King,
PV
