Hi,
Just got back from Fr. Pfeiffer's Mass near New Orleans. It's mid-night, but thought I would tell you what Fr. Portugal said at Mass this morning. He said he wasn't going to give this type of sermon, but he had no choice because it had been brought to his attention. Father said people are always accusing the SSPX of hiding things and not giving the full story. But he noticed these accusers weren't at Mass this morning! It's funny how people have so much time to spend on the internet, believe cօռspιʀαcιҽs and gossip, when they should be going to Mass and receiving the sacraments, because priests like himself who spend 10 hours driving through ice to say Mass and only two people show up. (This was yesterday. Authorities had closed the roads and told everyone to stay home).
Father also explained all the things he does for us and here, some of us were going off to a Mass said by a rebellious priest. He said the SSPX is always being attacked by the novus ordo, the sedevacantists and others and now this! (conspiracy people)
Father said that people wonder why there is a need for a second judgment, but he said it's a comforting thought to know there is one, because God will deal with these evil people!
After Mass, my daughter turned to her fiancee and said, "I can sum this whole sermon up in a sentence. The people going to Mass this evening, along with the priest are going to burn in hell and Father Portugal is going to be nominated for sainthood and going to heaven!" :cheers:
This is not good for young adults. My daughter's fiancee is learning about the Catholic faith and has been going to Mass with her. This last incident has been a real turn-off for him. Both he and my daughter thought Father was uncharitable.
On a happier note, we had a nice little group of people for Mass this evening, but more were expected. Maybe Fr. Portugal scared them off? Fr. Pfeiffer gave an excellent sermon and gave us lots of information about the crisis in the SSPX.
A-ha!
So it WAS an Internet rumour!
It wasn't Fr. Portugal literally saying that
those who assist at Resistance Masses will go to hell,
but rather that was the IMAGE HE PUT INTO THE MIND OF THE LISTENER
without Fr. Portugal having to say the words!
This way,
he can deliver a message like this, and then later,
he can deny that he delivered the message!!
TA-DAAAA!
(That's not the same as Te Deum.)
What he SAID was,
He wasn't going to give this type of sermon, but he had no choice because it had been brought to his attention.

Now, that's a horse of a different color!
But it's still noteworthy. This demonstrates several principles at work.
The new orientation of the Society makes them try to accommodate Newchurch, and this is what happens when you try to accommodate Newchurch. You get ambiguous language that tries to impart an image into the minds of the listener, and that image is going to be DIFFERENT in the mind of different listeners.
This is actually the REVERSE of what the Apostles had -- the gift of tongues, whereby they spoke one language to a crowd, and various different people in the crowd whose native tongues were different, each heard the Apostles speaking in each of those various languages.
But they all heard the SAME MESSAGE!Now, we have the opposite phenomenon going on. Now an ambiguous sermon means different things to different people ALL OF WHOM SPEAK THE SAME NATIVE TONGUE that the priest is speaking, but each of whom has different ways of understanding his words.
They all hear a DIFFERENT message!
It's funny how people have so much time to spend on the internet, believe cօռspιʀαcιҽs and gossip, when they should be going to Mass and receiving the sacraments, because priests like himself who spend 10 hours driving through ice to say Mass and only two people show up. (This was yesterday. Authorities had closed the roads and told everyone to stay home).
What's the principle at work in THIS?
"It's all about ME!"
The reality is in the mind!
What's real is what is SUBJECTIVE!
The subjective reality is this:
WE POOR OVERWORKED PRIESTS ARE NOT APPRECIATED!
OUR POOR SSPX IS NOT APPRECIATED!
FOR ALL WE DO, AND WHAT DO WE GET FOR IT?
WE IGNORE PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND USE THE ROADS TO GET TO MASS ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
(Read: they were
disobedient of traffic authorities and used the roads when they were told to STAY HOME -- then they criticize others
who obeyed the legitimate authorities and stayed home.......
the disobedient accuse the obedient of being disobedient!! How's THAT for DIABOLICAL DISORIENTATION!!)
There's more -- but I can already hear members complaining this post is 'too long'.
