It will be to imitate his master, and show off his new found Traditionalist credentials. Bishop Fellay broke the 6-month silence on Francis, so now we can expect all his understudies to do the same. Only perhaps not quite as articulately nor as convincingly. Fr. Rostand is a "poor man's Fellay". He does his best, but it's never quite the real thing...

Quote from: J.Paul

It will be a waste of time, good money after bad.
The good Father is not going to be there to have discussions. He will be there to repeat Menzingen's version and justifications for events and to defend the King and the King's authority.
It matters not if he is verbally bested or made to look the fool by his own accord, in the end, nothing will change.

I agree that it's a waste of time, however, ... someone could start laughing at what he says.

Quote from: Machabees

Yes, I believe Fr. Rostand's tone will be on those type of lines as well.

With that said, I thought perhaps we can take the opportunity to draw up some honest questions to ask him.  Even if he keeps up on Cathinfo, I am sure that he does, and reads these honest questions being posed from people within his District, it may also guide his conscience in the right direction to see that there are still viable questions out there, before God, that he needs to [honestly] answer; regardless if he does, tries to avoid them, or if he wants to; they still exist to be answered.

Using a number system, I will begin:

1 -  Is the SSPX still perusing an arraignment for a practical deal with Rome?

2 -  Is there anything in the works at present, in spite of the new Pope's "modernism" that Bishop Fellay mentioned?

3 -  If so, is the outline of the 2012 General Chapter still in effect to facilitate a deal with Rome?

4 -  If not, then does the General Chapter reconvene to make another outline for the SSPX?

5 -  The District Superior from Canada, Father Jürgen Wegner, had mentioned that the SSPX had begun a new image through a branding company from Holland, is that true?  If so, has that been completed yet?  And, what is the new image that Bishop Fellay is looking for?

Dear Machabees,

Fr. Rostand probably does more work in his average day than you or I in his average week, so let me help save Father's valuable time by giving you the honest answers to your honest questions, following your number system:

1 - No
2 - Assuming that there is some difference between 2 and 1, No
3 - Yes
4 - N/A
5 - You can see the rebranding in the publications of the SSPX in the U.S. and Canada. They all have consistent logos, layouts, typefaces, etc.  There are no plans to roll out the rebranding worldwide.  It involves no "image" issue in the political or marketing sense.

Anything else I can help you with?
