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.
* Don't forget the CDs and the required 'announcements' of their
availability in the parish bookstores - part of a fundraiser plan to
prop up this 'friendly fire war' against faithful Catholics in their ranks,
* and the re-branding campaign - sure, it was started before the
Resistance got off the ground, but it continues apace with the re-
building of websites, re-making of the Angelus, and all the Society-
wide design look of stationery, brochures and promos.
They seem to be spending a lot of attention, time, and money on the Resistance.
The fact that they're reacting means they see it as a threat.
They don't realize all the money they spend AGAINST the Resistance
only goes to make the Resistance stronger. "But if it be of God, you
cannot overthrow it..." (v. 39).
[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?
As Fr. Pfeiffer says, you know it's a DOCTRINAL issue because
it comes with PUNISHMENTS. It comes with CONDEMNATION.
It comes with EXPULSIONS and TRANSFERS and GUARDED
OBSERVATION (aka "being on probation").
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.
Excellent point, Matthew!
In laying down their arms against
the unclean spirit of Vat.II and the Newmass and false
ecuŠ¼enism and religious liberty and false collegiality and
indifferentism and all the rotten errors of these new popes
(the list is too long to mention!),
the 'kinder gentler SSPX"
not only gives up the fight, but is DETERMINED to do so, and
we don't need to hear them say as much because
they prove
it's true when they pick up their arms to friendly fire them
against their own -- against good Catholics who dare to
continue the traditional Church Militant by fighting in the open
against heresy and scandal.
So evidently, the people getting this packet are targeted. It's not just everyone getting these. They're being sent to certain people. The people I'm in contact with haven't gotten one, so I think this garbage is being sent to a very targeted group of individuals.
My suspicion is, it's the mail list that is earmarked for having been
those who have previously sent large contributions or substantial
regular ones. IOW - the demographic that has shown itself to be
capable of significant extortion -- I mean, participation.
