I saw this on IA earlier, it looks like Fr. Rostand has decided to spew some more garbage:

Dear Friends and Benefactors,

Returning from the General Chapter of the Society of St. Pius X, I would like to thank you for your generous prayers for the intentions of this important meeting.

The Chapter, gathering all superiors and elder priests of the Society, went very well. As you may have already read in the official declaration of the Chapter, a profound unity was recovered - unity in our essential mission, unity in our actions, as well as unity of government under our Superior General, His Excellency Bishop Bernard Fellay.

....

Fr. Arnaud Rostand


"a profound unity was recovered" stands in stark contrast to the comments made by Bishop Tissier de Mallerais to Father Chazal regarding the General Chapter...........it would seem that one of them must be "prevaricating".............you be the judge........

The NSSPX has had for a long time a very myopic view of the Priesthood.  A central point they miss is the following...

Quote
Pastors of souls ought, on no account, to be ignorant of the reason why they are placed higher than other men: it is not so much that they may govern others, as that they may serve them.

~ Abbot Rupert (Rup., Div. Off., xii. 18)

As I wrote here, the SSPX has been liberalized. It is dominated by people with liberal mindsets, and now Bishop Fellay has unfortunately let liberalism influence him.

Thank you, Tele and Neil.  I dearly hope that Fr. Rostand and +Fellay and Co. DO read the forums, and especially this thread.  The "Pandora's box" that they have opened is now theirs to close.

Keeping the US District in perspective.





Thank you Ferdinand

A most ingenious "photographic restoration"!  

How does Bp. Fellay think he can get away with trying to hijack the hearts and minds of the SSPX?   I will never get it.


Back by popular demand... with a little added Romanitas.  

The Grinder is cranking out Roma Capoccia as the monkey dances.


Roma Capoccia

Quanto sei bella Roma quand'e' sera
quando la luna se specchia
dentro ar fontanone
e le coppiette se ne vanno via,
quanto sei bella Roma quando piove.

Quanto sei bella Roma quand'e' er tramonto
quando l'arancio rosseggia
ancora sui sette colli
e le finestre so' tanti occhi,
che te sembrano dì: quanto sei bella.

Oggi me sembra che
er tempo se sia fermato qui,
vedo la maestà der Colosseo
vedo la santità der cupolone,
e so' piu' vivo e so' più bbono
no nun te lasso mai
Roma capoccia der mondo infame,
na carrozzella va co du stranieri
un robivecchi te chiede un po'de stracci
li passeracci so'usignoli;
io ce so'nato Roma,
io t'ho scoperta stamattina.


Rome (English Translation)

How beautiful you are oh Rome in the evenings
when the moon reflects itself
inside the big fountain
and the couples desert the streets
How beautiful you are oh Rome when it rains

How great you are oh Rome when it’s dusk
and the orange turns red
on top of your seven hills
and the windows are like numerous eyes
that seem to tell you: how beautiful you are!

Today it feels like
if time had stopped here
I see the majesty of the Colosseum
I see the sanctity of the big Dome
and I am more alive and I am better
no, I’ll never leave you
Rome, head of this infamous world
a carriage drives away two foreigners
a second-hand dealer asks you if you’ve got some rags
the bedraggled sparrows are nightingales
I was born in Rome
I discovered you this morning
