...Bishop Fellay's background in accounting...

Just curious, I've seen people refer to his background in accounting before too, as if he had an accounting degree before he joined the seminary.  But,

Fellay was born in Sierre, Switzerland in 1958. In October 1977, at the age of nineteen, Fellay began studies for the priesthood at the International Seminary of Saint Pius X at Écône, Switzerland. On 29 June 1982 he was ordained a priest..

I know he was Bursar for the SSPX, but how could he have had much background in accounting before that, if he joined the seminary at age 19?  Or are people just referring to his time as Bursar when they speak of his "background in accounting"?

This Sunday the 5 of August Fr. Rostand said Mass in Boston as part of his US damage control clean up tour. He basically said that we should be humble and obey and those who are speaking out are not being humble and obedient. He said that there is an "apparent divide" in the SSPX and that it is caused by sedevacantist spreading rumors and trying to divide them. That's the biggest load of nonsense if I ever heard one. What a cop out and a denial of a problem that well and truly exists. They won't admit that Fellay was in the wrong to try and make a deal with Rome and it was the other district superiors at the General Chapter that steered the ship away from the rocks for now and so to cover it up they are now blaming the problems on a third party(sedevacantists)  

I also was attending Fr. Rostand's Mass in Boston.  I remember he specifically accused sede-vacantist websites (plural) of leaking confidential letters.  So I was left to believe that he was implying that Cathinfo and IA are sede-vacantist websites.  Maybe he has a different opinion about what constitutes a sede-vacantist website than I have?  Or the more likely scenario is that he has been informed by someone that CI and IA are sede-vacantist.  In any case, as you say, he is attempting to deflect scrutiny away from SSPX leadership and find a scapegoat to take all the blame.  The SSPX leadership seems to be in damage control mode.  John Lane and Dawn Marie on IA have now posted new information that seems to portray Bishop Fellay as the victim of misunderstandings or the political maneuvers of others.  Bishop Fellay has also tried to blame the Pope ("he desires it").  The truth that they are unwilling to admit is that Bishop Fellay is solely responsible for this crisis.  It isn't the Pope's fault, it isn't the "sede websites", it isn't Bishop Williamson.  The crisis is a 100% creation of Bishop Fellay.  He should man-up and publicly take responsibility.

I concur with fellow Servant of Mary & parishioner, Clemens Maria.

Fr Rostand seemed besieged with unrest. Throughout his sermon, he conveyed a great consternation.
Father awkwardly danced around known public statements & facts.
To the informed listener, his maneuvers came across as being deliberately deceptive, if not blatantly untrue.

His central point was a call to unity...
A unity, he reports, that was unanimously confirmed in the recent General Chapter.
A unity that's been disrupted by influences outside the Society, who seek only its destruction.
As Clemens Maria stated, Father claimed this disruption was initiated on SV websites by leaking the 3-Bsp's Letter & Response.
The faithful were then instructed with the usual admonition to disregard all the rumors!

From what I understand, compared to the largers Chapels, we received the shortened version... DEO GRATIAS!
 
The US District Superior is on a mission of disinformation.
But the Chapel Mind Control Tour sure looks like its taking quite the toll!

Please pray for Fr Rostand & all our misguided priests.

No matter where these letters were or were not posted, it certainly took an SSPXer to get access to them in the first place. Certainly not a case of "attack from the outside" as he's repeatedly suggesting.

a) That's the point.

b) Another point is what some Cathinfo users already pointed out: these two letters from April (the three bishop's smart letter to Bp Fellay, and the latter's delusional answer to the three bishops) are not private in their nature but public because the religion of God (and attacks against it) is always a public matter.

The good Bishop Richard "Lionheart" Williamson recently wrote about this matter (bold by me) :

But the Chapter was serious business. What did it produce? Above all, a Declaration, made public a few days later, and six conditions for any future Rome-SSPX agreement, leaked on the Internet soon after that (given how many souls are presently entrusting their faith and their salvation to the guidance of the SSPX, I find such a leak not unreasonable).

What you, dear US-American Catholics now experience with Fr. Rostand and his delusional "Public Relations gag tour", we German speaking Catholics experience since a few years due to our closer range to the home of "Bp Fellay and his gang" (© Bishop Williamson). So, maybe some of you now do understand in a better way what I've been talking about the last years here on Cathinfo.

There's a word for what the Neo-SSPX does (via Fr Rostand and the equivalent persons in Europe): brain-washing, or if that is too harsh for some: re-education. Two words, same method. Not a Catholic method for sure!

I wanted to post a follow-up.

Fr. Rostand was recently at our chapel in NY.  No one stayed to chat.

Here is the bulletin from yesterday.  I circled the relevant selection in red crayon.   :wink:

I recall a priest relating a story during the end of the Arian Heresy, where a bishop went to the pulpit and still spoke in support of the heresy.

The faithful rushed from the pews and grabbed the bishop and hung him on a fence.  I don't hink he was harmed, but rather greatly inconvenienced and he essentially lost his authority.

Any priests who stands at the pulpit, in the sanctuary, and purposely speaks to mislead or lie to the faithful... should be confronted... head-on.

What the manipulators don't understand is that they are supposed to offer good faith preaching as a condition of their collection of tithes.

You can't treat your parishioners as dumb cattle who exist to be fed adulterated sustenance while you seek to maximize earnings with your Zionist money manager.

The SSPX leaders have cast out the honest men, now they are surprised to be treated coldly?
