Fr. Pfeiffer's Super Bowl Party

  • Looking at this weekend's Mass schedule, I noticed that Fr Pfeifer's entire seminary will be traveling after the Candlemas Mass all the way to St. Mary's,  KS for a Sunday morning Mass the next day.  Following the obligatory potluck, the Mass schedule includes a Super Bowl party over a random family's house. I was a little surprised, as I was not permitted to watch the Super Bowl at the "modernist" SSPX seminary while I was there. Is watching the Super Bowl a more traditional practice of the Archbishop which the modernist SSPX strayed from in order to show good favor to Rome? Any insight would be appreciated because I indeed would be concerned about modernists preventing well-intentioned young men from watching a football game on TV. Thanks in advance!

  • The hedonistic ads during the superbowl should cause one to pause.

    One communist mentioned that football, baseball, and other public sports are a way to pervert people.

    All these distractions whether watching suggestive ads, watching public sporting events, playing with a deck of cards, seeing the skimpy clothing on the cheerleaders, etc. cause one to sin and lose sight of the Presence of God.
    Lord have mercy.

  • I played organized football, I was never a fan, I was a participant. I watch from a technical point of view, not as a fan. These few players are the best of the 7 billion+  people in the world.

    Unfortunately, the players have become pagan savages in the last 20 years. So, now I am down to maybe watching one game a week, if that, and have moved on to only watching the highlights on YouTube.

    This year I watched the playoffs on TV, and will watch the super bowl. I watch it by myself on a 20" screen with rabbit ears (this is the only TV we have, so that we do not watch TV). I do not watch the commercials or the halftime show. The cheerleaders you can't avoid, they are a problem when you watch a live game. 

    I do not go to Super Bowl Parties or to other people's houses to watch the game, as they are a distraction to my technical watching.

    I am probably where you are, LT.  Football players, generally, have never been, collectively, paragons of Christian virtue and holiness, the last 20 years not with standing.  However, some NFL players try to maintain something of a Christian testimony.  Bernie Kozar and Nick Foles come to mind.  Kurt Warner was, for a while anyway, trying to live for Christ.
    I love the NFL, I have to admit.  But the corruption is deep, witness that "blown" call during the Saints/Rams game.  The fix was in for sure.  The LA market is huge and Vegas will make a haul that could never be realized by a Saints/Patriots match up.

    I detect your sarcasm. I can only point out that Fr. Pfeiffer does not represent the Resistance in any substantial way. In most locations he has ONE family supporting him; usually it's a person/couple/family who is naturally rebellious or can't get along well with others. Someone who has to be special. I don't see this in the broader, mainstream Resistance. In the latter, I see more of a crowd like the early days of the Traditional movement (fervent Catholics, lots of volunteering, seriousness in living the Faith, detachment from the world, etc.)

    Yes, Fr. Pfeiffer was a pioneer of the movement, but by Fall 2014 he went off the rails and started a personal cult. He literally opposes ALL FOUR of the Resistance bishops, and is only on good terms with a handful of priests: all of whom accept Fr. Pfeiffer's de-facto papacy and universal jurisdiction. Countless holy, intelligent, and fervent priests are on his "crap list" -- their only crime being denial of Fr. Pfeiffer's de-facto papacy.

    I'm not even exaggerating here. I said de-facto papacy. Looking objectively at his behavior over the past 4+ years, he
    1. Acts as if he has a universal jurisdiction over Traditional Catholics (something normally associated with the Pope)
    2. He has a falling out with anyone who won't let Fr. Pfeiffer be top dog and get his own way all the time

    He will only consider you "true Resistance" if you are in communion with Rome Boston, KY. It's insane.

    Leaving the SSPX to join Fr. Pfeiffer's cult is a classic example of jumping out of the frying pan straight into the fire.

  • Fr. Pfeiffer happens to like the sport of football  is knowledgeable of it, and has several nephews who play it.  On at least one occasion that I personally know, he attended a game in which a nephew was fullback.  There's nothing wrong with a priest enjoying a particular sport, the sport itself being amoral.  
    There IS a problem, IMO, with watching the Superbowl because of all the immorality associated with it, worldly entertainers who have "wardrobe malfunctions," mostly naked cheerleaders doing more twerking than cheering, bizarre advertisements, sometimes having occult or demonic connotations.  What message does it give a family, probably with children, when a priest views a spectacle that freely conveys a worldly message under the guise of a healthy, all-American athletic tradition?  
    Better he were returning to a family home to pray the Rosary in reparation for the souls corrupted by the immoral circus that surrounds the big game.

  • It’s very possible to watch the super bowl just for the football and do it morally.  You can skip the halftime show (it’s stupid anyways).  You could even skip the commercials and go get food at this time.  The cheerleaders are shown for about 5 seconds at a time about 4x a game - 20 seconds; easily avoided.  If you’re there just to watch the game, there’s nothing wrong with it.  There’s worse ads on YouTube nowadays that I see, especially on political sites.  Have to be careful everywhere.

  • Pax Vobis, to add to your point, you can record the game and then start watching it 30-40 minutes later.  This gives you the ability to fast forward through all the garbage.

  • If you wouldn't condemn a Catholic just for owning a TV, then I don't see why the Superbowl should be something you're particularly against. Even with the cheerleaders(a bizarre tradition, we don't have them in any of our sports at all), etc. taken into account, almost everything else on TV is worse these days.

    300 million, more like. It's played almost nowhere outside of the US.

  • So watching Lady Gaga fly during the Superbowl half-time... isn't sanctifying your Sunday? :popcorn:

    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

    It might help if she would just keep flying until she is far, far away.

  • No Super Bowl for our home.  When Phoenix had their Super Bowl news showed" brothels" asking for a month before and a month after to not call there "games" a crime.So disgusting!
