Even though I think the sspx leadership has used/abused the Fatima message in their quest to sell out the sspx and destroy tradition, just like they "spun the yarn" that the Rosary crusades obtained the "miraculous" motu proprio (which, we can now see was a further attack by new-rome, since it has eroded traditionalism by siphoning off the millenial generation from the sspx into the indult...the old "divide and conquer" method), I'll go along with the fast.  God can use these graces for something else, if the sspx chooses to discard them.

That is precisely why it should be done.

Don't be surprised if Fr comes out after the Chapter meeting and says that the new liberal-leaning leader of the sspx is "an answer" to all our prayers.  The problem is that most of the people who are left in the sspx (the ones who are staunchly pro-Lefevbre have already left or were kicked out) are probably praying FOR a deal with rome.  So when the sspx elects a new, liberal leader, who will lead the triumphant sspx into the new-rome's lion den, this will be an answer to their prayers!  Oh, the irony.

I'll still take part in the fast, in case God decides to intervene.  If He does not, the sspx is already sunk.

Absolutely. But Our Lady will not be mocked. The fast is worth the try for the good of the Church but man proposes and God disposes. The sacrifices and prayers may be answered in ways we never thought possible. Perhaps massive defections...Humanly speaking, is hopeless.

II THINK THAT EXTREME DISTRESS CALLS FOR EXTREME MEASURES. I WILL DO THE BREAD AND WATER FAST THIS FRIDAY. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO IT ALSO. IF YOU CANNOT DO IT ON FRIDAY, PLEASE DO IT ON ANOTHER DAY DURING THE CHAPTER. IF YOU CANNOT DO THE B&W FAST, DO THE NORMAL FAST. ANYTHING WILL HELP. I PROMISE YOU THAT THIS B&W FAST WILL NOT KILL YOU. IF IT DOES, I WILL PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE TO YOU.

Thank you and God bless,

Fr. Girouard


I got a chuckle out of the last two sentences. I so appreciate Fr. Girouard's sense of humor. So glad to see a communication and recommendation from him on the subject of the General Chapter.

I'll do the fast. I hope that more trads will do the same. Many trads see the situation in the SSPX as being hopeless, but we still have recourse to a supernatural solution by appealing to God for help, though a little bit of sacrifice.

If in fact that is what happens and let say Fr. Pfluger is elected then I say that it will be a win in some way because the obvious direction towards a personal prelature will be swift and maybe more will wake up.  Sounds cynical but the SSPX is done. I will also join the fast because no prayer or sacrifice is wasted.
