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.

There's no way this decision to go paper and snail mail on this promo
was a local one. It came from Menzingen. And that means it was a
component of the Dutch PR program package -- part of the 'new image.'

Why pay a pagan consultant forty thousand Euros for advice if you're
not going to follow it to the letter?

Not forty thousand? Whatever it was it was too much. One hundred
would be a crime just the same.

That should be an item for your note in the return envelope with the
red Sharpie carrot (^):

TWIMC:
Don't ask me for money, just call up your boss, B. Fellay and put in
a requisition for your share of his 80 million-Euro piggy bank. If he's
eager to pay a pagan in Holland for advice certainly he won't mind
helping out his own lapdog lemming sycophants at Regina Coeli
House!

When your customer has a package in hand it's like a present. He
feels obligated to open it and read the contents. If it were only an
e-mail it would most likely be deleted without ever having looked
at it. This is why I say we should print out copies of Fr. Girouard's
sermon within the octave of Corpus Christi and pass it around. If
you send people an e-mail with a link, they might open it and they
might not. If you hand them a good-looking sheet of paper, they're
going to hold it in their hands and look at it with their eyes.

So my dad and I were talking about it a little, and we were thinking of things to say about what we did with the packet we were sent. A couple of them were really funny. One of them was about expensive toilet paper, rather than toss it in the garbage bin.

Or you could forward it to NSA and say it's a "suspicious package".

NSA would no doubt hand the case over to USDA; AMM office to be more specific.

No one has spoken about CD cost yet (at least not anyone with experience in the field), so here goes:

The 2 CDs, without jewel cases, are only about 25 or 30 cents each. Possibly less.

Even the minimum order of 1,000 CDs, with all the fixins, comes out to around $1100.

That includes a 2-sided, 4 page full color insert, jewel case & tray, assembly, and the CD itself.

If you just want the CDs, it would be much cheaper.

And as you might guess, all the work is setting up the machine. The 2nd 1,000 CDs costs the factory much less time & money than the first 1,000 -- and they pass a lot of that savings along to their client.

The SSPX obviously ordered more than 1,000. And they didn't spring for a jewel case. Oh, and that lack of jewel case makes the CDs weigh only a couple ounces. That saves on mailing cost.

So they didn't do a bad job economizing. Like GGreg said, the "retired" set DEMANDS a physical format (rather than something online or digital), and these folks are retired, with 40 years of work under their belts, often with nest eggs, and are trying to help the Church and store up treasure for heaven as they feel Death get close to their subdivision, if not their front door.

So just one "hit" pays for hundreds or even thousands of "misses".

Has anyone realized yet --

The SSPX must be hurting, or at least fearful of what the Resistance could do, to spend such resources in their war against it.

* All the propaganda ("Against the Rumors", propagating the sermon, "Resistance to What?", etc.)
* Plane tickets for Accordista priests to visit far-flung areas to keep the sheep in line
* Legal fees to threaten various parishioners
etc.

They seem to be spending a lot of attention, time, and money on the Resistance.

Quote from: Acts chapter 5

[34] But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while. [35] And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.

[36] For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing. [37] After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed. [38] And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought; [39] But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God.

Isn't it ironic that the "kindler, gentler" SSPX is focusing on the "positives of Tradition" while not being combative against Vatican II, Modernism, and the Conciliar Church hierarchy, all the while using a jackboot on their own members who dare to stand up for the original principles of the SSPX?

So they not only laid down their arms in the fight against Modernism, but they take up these same weapons and fire them at their own side! What vile treachery.
