It was spoken, not printed. It was part of the remarks given while handing the packets out.

Got my packet at catechism after Mass on Sun. First time I ever heard anyone even mention the resistance.

Cheerfully told us that God burned Fr. Pfieffer's house down because of his disobedience. Wow.

Are you serious?
Could you please post the direct quote from the message?

This is something we don't want to make a mistake over.

Whose name is showing as the author? Date, sender's address,
context - what paragraph was it in? Why do you say, "cheerfully..?"

Let's see, this would be another example of the virtue of prudence?

Or, have they been misspelling "imprudence" because they didn't
want to say "brashness" or "gangster mentality" -- hmm?

Wow. They've really tried going out of their way this time. I got a giant packet from the SSPX, including fancy CDs of Father Themann's talks, and even a summary and a long letter from Bishop Fellay. Anyone else get this garbage (cause that's where it went?)

It would be your call to estimate the funding required to undertake this
initiative. If the CDs had color images printed on them and came in
'jewel' cases with glossy fold-out indexes they may have run up to $2 or
$3 to produce. Then with the printed material, another dollar or two,
so you could be up to $10 or $15, plus postage -- that would be close
to $20. Then times it by the mailing list, what, 2,000 recipients, and
that could be $40,000 to send out a promo for more money, basically.

If they can't impress you with sound teaching (then they would make
themselves look like Resistance priests!) they resort to pompous the
windbag approach, you know, so at least you can think you're getting
SOMETHING for your money!

To produce and mail to every one on their mailing list, in addition to sending large amounts of these CD's, with accompanying letters, to each chapel for "free" distribution of such a "giant" propaganda package requires a considerable amount of money.

Remember this branding thing of the new-sspx, in addition to Fr. Rostand asking for three "appeals" for money within 3-months of each other (Christmas appeal Dec. 2012, Lenten appeal 2013, and his recent Easter appeal March 27, 2013).

What a trickery of Fr. Rostand to play up on peoples "faith" and "emotion" to give to him money, and say there is "desperate" need with all of the "expenses" to run the District House and take the money to make a propaganda piece -is another sham- of a calculated agenda; like Bishop Fellay and his agenda to play on peoples "faith" and "emotion" to give to him some "rosary crusades" that went to his "staged" charade for his "practical deal" with conciliar Rome.

Another sham of the N-SSPX!

Next time there is a "plea" or an "appeal" for money, he gives me to think that he is going to turn it around again and use it to put out another propaganda hit piece.

I am NOT for sale!

A note explaining why they are not getting our $$ is a good idea, if I get a package I will do that. They need to hear from the hoi polloi.

I wonder how many people who will use the information actually need it in physical form?

Could they not put an MP3 file on the website and produce all that paper in PDF format.

A substantial proportion of the laity must have computers and Internet.

I guess the old ladies with the houses don't, and one of them pays for this marketing campaign 5 to 10 times over which is why they print it.
