The great Fr. Patrick Girouard has emerged with an observation and a message for Catholics during Lent.
.
This makes me ask, what do SSPX priests do when the faithful are found watching their cell phones during Mass?
.
I saw a woman going from Station to Station (Stations of the Cross) in a chapel, making her own video of them, from 1-14, including the stained glass windows between the stations. Maybe she was going to have a portable "Stations" video she could use when not able to get to Church?

Dear faithful,
.
You will never believe what the Branded SSPX has come up with for Lent! They have a promotional video proposing a “challenge” for their parishioners. If they click on a special link to accept the challenge, they will receive, on their gismo of choice, a daily reminder that they should limit their use of the gismo, and spend time with friends and family instead. (By the way, it looks a bit contradictory to tell people to limit the use of the gismo, while sending them reminders of this on the very same gismos…).
.
The promotional video shows a guy watching tv, who decides to spend time with friends, and then goes out on the deck to have a beer with them. Now, this Neo-SSPX challenge is for Lent… You can take it for 3 days, or 7 days, or, if you truly are strong, until Easter, April 1st. WOW!
.
While I agree that the gismos in all their models should be used only in moderation, I lament the fact that this is promoted as a Lent challenge. Why not do it for the whole year? And why not use supernatural motives, instead of a merely natural one (spend time with people)? This message is something that we already hear from a lot of non-Catholic sources.
.
Doesn’t the SSPX have more to say to its faithful? Yet, I saw nothing in the video or the article about Christ, Penance, Mortification, Salvation of souls… Just: Spend more time with friends! Having a beer with them during Lent is better than watching movies! What about giving us some examples of the saints doing penance? What about encouraging people to fast and abstain?
.
I cannot believe that we find this on the official SSPX website! Look for yourselves at the link below:

We, in the Resistance, were afraid that a “normalization” with Rome would transform Tradition and dilute it to become just like the Novus Ordo Church… But since the Branding, which I have exposed in June 2013, it has become clear that the process of liberalisation is already at work, and is already changing the Society and its faithful! Maybe Rome will see that an official agreement will not, in the end, be necessary to destroy Tradition, and that the simple offer of a “regularization” is enough to have the leaders of Tradition destroy it!
.
God, please spare us and intervene before it is too late!

The great Fr. Girouard is gifted with the ability to see a trend far into the future, providing insight for others who would pay attention to his words.

Maybe Rome will see that no "practical agreement" will be needed, because the mere OFFER of a "practical agreement" will suffice.

Take the "Technology Detox Challenge" to Unplug Your Life During Lent
March 02, 2018
District of the USA

Today’s world is full of distractions.
While technology is a tool that can be used for both good or bad, it is often a source of distraction that weakens our personal relationships and scatters our inner peace.

During the remainder of this Lent, we invite you to take action so you can focus on the things that truly matter:
- Family, Friends, and Faith.

Do this by unplugging your life so that you can focus on living well and encourage others to do the same.
It's not just an individual action - it's a community initiative!

It's up to you to take this challenge and share it with your family and friends. Without your involvement your family and friends may never see this challenge or have the courage to do it themselves. Together we can can change society but only if we as individuals take action.

Take the Technology Detox Challenge

Instead of resorting to begging the faithful to disclose their online usernames and shopping habits all they have to do is get them to download an APP which will track all their "device" activities.
