Matthew this seems pretty far fetched. He helped raise support for Bishop Williamson when he was expelled from the SSPX. For months you were complaining that Father Pfeiffer didn't contact you.
No it's not far-fetched. I'm not making any of this up, it's all stuff Fr. Pfeiffer has said in his sermons. Shouldn't we assume that Fr. wants us to believe him and take appropriate action?
That's not far fetched at all.
If you just imagine the world as it would look if everyone believed Fr. Pfeiffer at face value, you can figure out the world that Fr. Pfeiffer is pushing for. It's simple.
And no, Tiffany, this isn't the book Nineteen Eighty Four, where "my opponent is pure evil and thus I was never friends with pure evil (are you crazy?), so I have to rewrite history accordingly..."
No. I'll happily admit that I strongly supported Fr. Pfeiffer when he first started the Resistance, before he did anything reprehensible. He was a different man back then. He wasn't attacking other priests, he seemed to be on the same side as Bishop Williamson, he didn't require the Red Light the SSPX position, he certainly wasn't red-lighting other Resistance priests, Ambrose Moran was still unknown, etc.
Are you going to accuse Fr. Voigt of inconsistency as well, because he joined them and was part of their group for a time, but later on left the group?
Bishop Williamson, plenty of priests, and countless laymen have left Fr. Pfeiffer AFTER he starting doing reprehensible things. That is praiseworthy.
You can't know what a person or group is going to become in the future.Heck, just look at the SSPX! I strongly supported that group too -- until they compromised. Then I promptly cut off my support and left.
I don't know what your line of thinking is here --
is this why so many people support Fr. Pfeiffer today? Because they supported him once, so they think they're stuck? Give me a break! You can always get out, and you don't even have to blame yourself or admit you made a mistake.
The only mistake is to CONTINUE TO SUPPORT a man who has clearly fallen, and to bend over backwards making excuses for him.
