Fr. Pagliarani drops the Mask (Fr. Girouard).
« on: Yesterday at 09:56:16 PM »
(WITH FR. GIROUARD'S PERMISSION: EMAIL TO HIS GROUPS)


Dear friends,

Yesterday, Fr. Pagliarani, General Superior of the Neo-SSPX, has published a letter of "encouragement" and "consolation" to the Neo-SSPX faithful, especially those who went to the July 1st Écône ceremony.

His letter shows a lack of self-awareness that is shocking. Honestly, the fact it was published on the official Neo-SSPX website shows Fr. Pagliarani is surrounded by lackeys and sycophants. Nobody was there to tell him he should work on it a little bit more.

Below the dotted line is the full text, with my comments in bold font:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Menzingen, 19 July 2026 (...)

COMMENT: So far so good. At least the date is true.

(...) Dear faithful,

A few days after the ceremony of 1 July, I wish to address these few words to you.

First of all, I wish to thank you. For several years, I had been praying to the Most Holy Virgin that she would prepare hearts for this historic event. (...)

COMMENT: "For several years". Oh! Okay... How many years are several years? Five? Ten? Obviously, it was before Bp Tissier's untimely death (2024). Was it after Father P's election of July 2018? I ask this because,  in 2015, reacting to Bp Williamson's consecration of Bp. Faure, the Neo-SSPX declared this consecration without a Papal Mandate was unwarranted, because there was no "state of Necessity". So, just how long after that did Fr. Pagliarani started to pray for the BVM "to prepare the hearts" for the Society's own consecrations without Papal Mandate? I suspect it may have been after he rejected the latest Rome proposals in December 2018 (remember the declaration of Abp. Pozzo). A clear example of double standards. And it reminds me of a quip from conservative radio host Chris Plante: "If the Left had no double standards, it would have no standards at all!" And exactly what is the meaning of: "she would prepare hearts for this historic event"? Certainly the hearts of hard-core Traditionalists could not be expected to object. So he must be talking about the hearts of the Society priests and faithful who are liberals. He knows the true conservatives were expelled or left in 2012 and later. So now he fears to lose the liberals.

(...) I confess that I have been deeply moved to see how all of you have accompanied the episcopal consecrations with your prayer and your gratitude towards divine Providence. (...)

COMMENT: What do you mean, "I confess I have been deeply moved"? As if it was a reaction you were not supposed to have. As if you normally are not, and should not, be moved by the Faith of your people?

(...) On 1 July, numerous faithful from all over the world were present at Écône, and they represented all of you. It was an immense joy to see them so numerous and so fervent. As you certainly know, a storm broke out during the ceremony: “At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed… And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the highest gave his voice” (Ps. 17:13–14). (...)

COMMENT: “At the brightness that was before him (etc.)...voice." (Ps. 17:13–14). That is a most unfortunate quote, indeed! If Fr. Pagliarani, before choosing it for his message, would have taken the time to check what the Commentary was, about that quote, he would probably (hopefully) not have chosen it to illustrate the downpour that happened at the consecrations. Indeed, Fr. George Haydock says the psalm was written by King David, who recalled how God intervened with clouds, thunder, lightning, and hail to disperse his enemies, the Moabites, who were afflicting David's camp and army. Fr. Haydock also says the event represented the future destruction of Jerusalem after the Jews had crucified Our Lord, and also the future destruction of the enemies besieging the Church. Choosing this quote is therefore most inappropriate, as the downpour afflicted the faithful surrounding the consecration tent, and the use of the quote would mean God was trying to disperse the Society's enemies. Definitely not a good choice of quote, and not a good image, Fr. Pagliarani!

(...) At that moment, my joy redoubled. On the one hand, I was the privileged witness of a liturgy of exceptional beauty; on the other, I had before my eyes another beauty, just as touching: that of an immense crowd of faithful remaining in their places throughout the storm, praying to Our Lady for the new bishops, for the Church, and for the Pope. (...)

COMMENT: Well, that's neat ! His joy redoubled when the storm came, as he saw an "immense crowd of faithful remaining in their places"! Yes, we can believe you. We all know how the Neo-SSPX likes the faithful to stay in their place! I watched the ceremony myself, going from one step to the other (as I did not have 6 full hours to spare). I saw the downpour and the faithful clothed with raincoats and umbrellas; thankfully, they had come prepared, thanks to accurate weather forecast. Then Fr. Pagliarani decided to sing the Rosary. The melody he used for the Hail Marys was unknown to the crowd, and even the clergy. Only the choir had no trouble singing. It lasted 45 agonizing minutes. Maybe his joy redoubled because he, unlike the poor clods in the rain, had a warm and dry place to be in (the big tent). Instead of being fancy and innovative, he should have thought of them. If you needed 45 minutes for the downpour to diminish, before Holy Communion to be safely distributed, why not do a Full Rosary with normal recitation? Or one normal Rosary, and then some meditation on Our Lord's Passion (July 1st: Feast of the M. P. Blood), during which the faithful could at least sit, instead of kneeling in water-logged grass?

(...) Among them were elderly ladies, on their knees, as well as young mothers carrying their infants in their arms. It was the most beautiful image that could be given of the Society: faithful animated by an unshakeable faith that nothing could trouble; souls for whom the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is truly the centre of their lives. You cannot imagine the consolation that was mine at that moment. This scene has been deeply engraved on my memory, and I shall never be able to forget it. (...)

COMMENT: Yes... This image reminds me of how the Neo-SSPX treated their faithful since 2012, when they dared to question its move towards a practical agreement with the Conciliar Church: "Shut up; Pay; Pray; and Obey! Or be ready to be kicked out!" And I think this image you love so much, dear Fr. Pagliarani, this image which makes you say: "You cannot imagine the consolation that was mine at that moment. This scene has been deeply engraved on my memory, and I shall never be able to forget it", yes, that image would have been much better if you, and the hundreds of Priests and Seminarians in the tent, would have, following your lead, gone outside to exchange places with these old ladies, and these mothers with children on their arms. That would have shown how really you cared about the faithful. I am sorry for you that you find beautiful and consoling to see these old ladies and young mothers stay in the rain...

(...) Right up until the last day, I hoped for a gesture of goodwill, or at least of simple understanding, on the part of the Holy See. (...)

COMMENT: Really? How can he be so disconnected from reality? How can he not know, by now, that he is dealing with a counterfeit Church? How can he not listen when the Conciliar Popes and Hierarchy say loud and clear that they will not go back to the Church of Pius XII, but are intent to move forward with their plans? How can he not understand that they see a strong and faithful SSPX as the ultimate thorn in their synodal side?

(...) But the consecrations were condemned, and the harshness of the sanctions imposed is unprecedented. They are directed first at the bishops, but also at the members of the Society. Even the faithful are affected. This condemnation, wholly unjust, represents an immense humiliation for people who have no other aim than to defend the true Faith and to work for the salvation of souls. (...)

COMMENT: "An immense humiliation". Please note: Immense means: "that which cannot be measured". I am aghast! This is probably the most revealing of any Freudian slips. Indeed, here, dear Father Pagliarani, your subconscious has revealed itself. You have felt an immeasurable humiliation when the Pope refused to meet you and to listen to you, and when he made good his threat of Excommunication. Your pride is unbelievable! Not only do you think Abp. Lefebvre was wrong, when he said we must not any more have contacts with the Conciliar Church (1989), but you also believe you can do better than him when dealing with Rome! And you say: "immense humiliation for people who have no other aim than to defend the true Faith and to work for the salvation of souls". Please: If you felt humiliated by how you were treated by the Roman Modernist Heretics and Pachamama Idolators, don't extend your prideful feeling of hurt to all those people who care for souls. Keep it to yourself and those of your ilk!

(...) But I want you to know that this profound humiliation, which touches the members of the Society first, has a meaning in the eyes of God that must not escape you. In the final analysis, these consecrations were carried out for each one of you, dear faithful. Your souls are the true treasure entrusted to the Society, that which it cherishes most. A single soul possesses infinite value. If such a humiliation is the price that must be paid to secure the teaching of the true Faith and the administration of the true sacraments, then it is worth it, because a soul has no price. The feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord, the price of our salvation, reminded us of this forcefully on 1 July. (...)

COMMENT: Once again, "humiliation" is mentioned. Twice. As a price to pay for providing souls with True Faith and True Sacraments. Those souls, which are the "true treasure entrusted to the Society". Beautiful! Talking of treasure: No mention of Maximilan Krah, nor of the Rotschild's 80 millions Euros donation received after the SSPX moved towards Rome, years ago. If the faithful are the real treasure of the Neo-SSPX, why not stir them away from the Conciliar Church? Why not see it for what it is: The tool of the Devil to destroy the one and only True Catholic Church? Why beg permission from these people to do what is good? Instead of complaining of your humiliation, YOU SHOULD BE PROUD TO HAVE BEEN EXPELLED FROM THE CONCILIAR ANTI-CHURCH!

(...) The sanctions are intended to strike you too, in a rather cruel way. This is certainly painful, but do not be too surprised by it. Ultimately, it is Tradition itself, which we cherish above all else, that is excommunicated in all those who embody it. It is evident that, before God, such a condemnation cannot be valid, for it would condemn what lies at the very heart of the life of the Church. (...)

COMMENT: Oh, Good Heavens! Dear Fr. Pagliarani, you are so close to discover the Truth! Just listen to yourself, and think, for a second! You say the July 2 Decree from Rome has excommunicated Tradition! The logical conclusion would be: The Conciliar Church cannot be the Catholic Church! But, instead of that, you come up with an illogical conclusion: The Decree of Excommunication must be, and is, invalid! And on July 11, you made an official Appeal to the Conciliar Church Court! What is it going to take, before you become LOGICAL!

(...) But then, in the midst of this new storm, a question arises: what does Our Lord expect of you now? It is in the soul of each one of you that the Faith must remain whole and alive. If Providence permits such a crisis that the teaching of the Faith becomes mysteriously obscured, that same Faith must continue to live in souls, despite all the contrary winds that seek to extinguish it. If the outward brightness of the official profession of Faith should disappear, the little candle that each of you received on the day of your baptism must remain lit in your heart and mind until your last day. That is, in the end, the only thing that matters. This little flame is the first thing we received at the beginning of our Christian life, and it is also the only thing we shall keep until the end. (...)

COMMENT: I did not know Fr. Pagliarani was such a poet! But what does he say here: "If Providence permits such a crisis that the teaching of the Faith becomes mysteriously obscured... If the outward brightness of the official profession of Faith should disappear"? What? We know why and how the Faith has been obscured: The Modernists, who had been condemned since St. Pius X, have taken over the structures of the Church at Vatican II. Why beat around the bush? And why say "should disappear"? He doesn't think it has already disappeared from the Conciliar Church? If he thinks Rome still teaches the Faith, then why has he sent two "declarations of Faith" to Rome before July 1st? If Rome and the Society have the same Faith, why so many problems between the two?

(...) I entrust you all to the Most Holy Virgin Mary, to whom the Society of Saint Pius X has been consecrated in a most particular way. May she always protect you amid all storms and all difficulties, and may she keep this little flame alive in your souls when all the contrary winds are unleashed. All graces come to us through her hands. It is her we must thank for the grace of the consecrations, and it is to her we must pray that the new bishops may be instruments ever more docile to her inspirations, and that they may persevere in this fidelity to the end. (...)

COMMENT: Fr. Pagliarani says: "and may she keep this little flame alive in your souls when all the contrary winds are unleashed." I have other words in mind. Those of Our Lord (Matthew 5, 14-15-16): "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." It is not enough to just keep alive the little hidden flame of the Faith in souls. The Society has to be logical and bold! It has to help the precious souls that look up to her for light and guidance. It has to reveal, from the tops of the hills, the truth about the Conciliar Church! Then, and only then, will the purpose of the Society become clear to all. Right now, it only looks like a FSSP that would be having a temper tantrum.

(...) The Society will never abandon you. Never will your souls lose their value and their worth in the eyes of its priests. (...)

COMMENT: I am sorry to say, but the Society has already abandoned and betrayed the souls entrusted by God to its care. It started covertly by the approval of the GREC meetings by Bp. Fellay in 1997, and by the following implementation of its recommendations. It continued overtly with the expulsion of H.E. Bp Williamson and many priests because of their opposition to an agreement with the Conciliar Church. It was shown again by asking for a Papal Mandate for the Consecrations, and by appealing the Decree of Excommunication. And it is shown again today, with this latest "poetic" letter to the Society faithful.

(...) God bless you!

Fr. Davide Pagliarani

COMMENT: Thank you. And may God bless you too, with the grace of understanding, logic, courage and, above all: Humility. Maybe you should remember (or discover) the meaning of your name: PAGLIA: Straw, and those who make things with straw. RANI:  Who descends from. There is nothing wrong with ancestors working with straw. But just remember the story of the Three Little Pigs, and build your Society, not with the straws of sentimentalism and self-delusion, but with the good bricks I just mentioned above.

Thank you Stonewall, and bravo Fr Girouard. This is the post of the week.

This sickening, disingenuous letter of Fr Pagliarani, was read by every SSPX priest to his faithful on Sunday.

The title hits the nail on the head "Fr Pagliarani drops the mask".

How can one not see a sinister intention in all this fake, sentimental, dishonest dramatisation? It reminds me of Bishop Fellay's Rosary crusades where the outcomes had already been agreed on behind closed doors with the enemy. What is the predetermined outcome this time? Surely, it is what they have always been 'preparing hearts' for: a purely practical agreement with the enemy. 

"PROFOUND HUMILIATION, IMMENSE HUMILIATION" - what a joke! What fair dinkum Traditional Catholic, who has been excluded from the demonic circus of the Newchurch all his life, who has been persecuted by these infideles, now more immoral than ever, and more transparent than ever, ever since the Second Vatican Council, would feel humiliated by any pretended penalty pronounced by these perverts? Fr Pagliarani speaks as if until this time we have been somewhat friends! No doubt that is what he wants us to believe.

Rather, the humiliation would be to place the Faith in the hands of these agents of satan and give them the opportunity to destroy Tradition all over again, as the SSPX has been officially on course to do ever since the revolutionary general chapter of 2012. 

One senses here a desire on the part of this New Society for us to feel humiliated, to feel excluded, so that when their appeal against this 'terrible humiliation' succeeds and we are offered a structure in the Newchurch we will be psychologically prepared to accept it. This is sinister indeed, and this letter convinces me more than anything that this is their plan. 

As Bishop Tissier put it so eloquently, the irregularity is not ours but theirs, it is not for us to come back, but for them to come back, come back to the Faith. But it fell on deaf ears then, and Fr Pagliarani continues this modernist crusade to make us feel that we are excluded from something to which we should belong.

"THE SOCIETY WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU". Tell that to Bishop Williamson who was put out on the street. Tell that to the monks from all the monastic orders who were refused ordination until they submitted to the new direction, the direction that was formerly called 'the road to death'. Tell that to all the faithful priests who were excluded for wanting to remain the same. Tell that to Dom Thomas Aquinas who had all material and spiritual support denied because he refused to allow Menzingen to remove him as abbot and have him replaced by an accordist. All his faithful were completely abandoned, only to be rescued by Bishop Williamson who went to confirm them, only to be accused of disobedience and pursuing an independent apostolate. Tell that to the Knights of Our Lady who were effectively banished from the SSPX and punished even by this Fr Pagliarani for not supporting the 'direction to death'. Tell that to all the faithful around the world, who were refused absolution in the confessional, holy communion, and even Exterme Unction simply for wanting to remain as we were. Tell that to all the faithful today who have had doubtful priests from the Conciliar Church thrust upon them and have been refused conditional confirmation. Tell that to the marines!

A man works as team leader at a job he hates, nonetheless, he sucks up to the boss in the effort to gain his approval. He deliberately provokes the boss by purposely rearranging the cubicles to suit himself. Some of his team stay after hours to assist him. The boss fires him and the members of his team. They are escorted from the premises by security.
Two days after the fact, the team leader and his fired colleagues appear on the sidewalk with signs. They picket the business for two days. The firings were unjust, therefore null and void according to the team leader. They are still loyal employees of the company that fired them. 
The team leader hires a lawyer to sue the company, its CEO and board, and the boss for unjust termination. The team leader composes two letters, one to the company and another to his team. The letters cry, “ We are victims, so very humiliated, but we are honorable. We’ll bear our firings patiently.  P.S. Please, please, rehire us!” 

If this doesn’t make sense, that’s because it doesn’t! 
What would you do if you were on this team? Continue supporting your team leader? Go home, get busy revising your CV and searching for a new job?

Thank you Plenus Venter for this great insight! Yes, they are using these words to condition the faithful to accept joyfully an official "Recognition". The Neo-SSPX must have been infiltrated years ago. I suspect Schmidberger, who arrived in Econe with some Seminary years under his belt in Germany. His teacher in Germany was none other than Father Ratzinger (future BXVI). The 2012 management is still at the helm of Neo-SSPX. Their goal is the same now than it was then. Only the method is different. As you say: It is a long process of manipulation and brain washing.

So true! It doesn't make sense! Your analogy is very good. But the goal of the Neo-SSPX is not to make sense. It is to confuse people, so as to make them more vulnerable to manipulation. What we are witnessing is the same kind of manipulation abusive spouses do. They pull the strings of emotions (fear, anger, hope, sadness, etc.) every which way. It is also the same technique used by Communist Regimes.
