I took out my recycling the other day and when I went to retrieve the bin there lays the "SSPX: Resistance to What?" packet with a note attached stating that "WE DON'T RECYCLE THIS JUNK!"

BTW, make sure your next "packet" doesn't contain any ricin.

Imagine that -- here the re-branded ExSPX is trying to be up-to-date
and appealing at large, and they're paying no attention to "being green"
or Agenda 21. Looks like they still have a lot of "improvement" to do.

Until they can manage to confine their propaganda materials to
environmentally-friendly items, they'll never meet the expectations of
their target audience, unfortunately.

Can someone scan or type in the letter of Fr. Rostand that was in that packet. I have not seen it yet. The rest of the packet is already available on the internet.

Thank you.

There is a "Letter from the District Superior" (Fr. Arnaud Rostand)
on page 2 and 3 of the booklet, "Regina Coeli Report - Number 250
Special Edition - June 2013."

Is that what you're asking for?

It begins thusly:

Dear Faithful,

The past months have been full of incidents: we have especially
learned of the abdication of Benedict XVI and observed the election
of Pope Francis... (300 words of equivocation follow) ... I would like
therefore to take this opportunity to warn you against grave errors
and injustice committed against the Society and its superiors in the
past few months... It is very understandable that with this confusion
some of you may have been misled.

(He then attempts to employ the Retreat Principles of St. Ignatius
of Loyola to make readers ignore the Resistance, IOW) ...

Therefore, for the good of the faithful of the US District, I deplore
publicly and firmly this injustice committed in the recent controversy
by Bishop Williamson and a few dissident priests.

Etc., etc.

Turn the page and see beginning, on Page 4, of Fr. Daniel Themann's
injustice committed against the Society -- by a conspicuously
dissident priest who abuses his position of Catholic teacher to
spread lies and heresy in full view and printed right there on the
pages of the Regina Coeli Report itself, under the cover of Fr.
Rostand's denouncement of this very same thing, but slyly directed
at someone else!

You can't make this stuff up.

On page five of this thread, there is a photograph Lourdes Fatima had posted showing the contents of what she received. In the photograph, there is a separate "cover" letter from Fr. Rostand. That is what I have not seen or know the contents of.

Sorry, I can't help you. I'm sure someone out there can, though. My set
does not include the cover letter.

It seems that cover letter is the thing that is being ignored more than any
other component of the packet.

Perhaps Lourdes Fatima could scan the letter since he/she seems to be
up on posting images and has the goods???

Please let me know if this helps, if not I'll type the content when I can.

That's it, Lourdes Fatima!! Many thanks!

To wit:

Rev. Fr. Arnaud Rostand District Superior

SSPX
May 22nd, 2013

Dear Faithful,

We are happy to be sending you this package. In it, you will find a
special issue of the Regina Coeli Report, the latest Letter to Friends
and Benefactors of Bishop Fellay, and the recording of an important
conference given by Fr. David Themann in St. Marys on April 16, 2013.

This special edition will present our evaluation of the so-called
resistance, which has been sowing discord in our apostolate during
the last several months.

I call your attention in particular to the very useful timeline showing
the development of relations between Rome and the Society of Saint
Pius X. We are confident that the conference and its summary will
both encourage you to remain strong in the faith of which the SSPX
has always been the defender, and dissipate the rumors and errors
whose effect, if not intent, is to scatter the flock.

In the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

:king:

Father Arnaud Rostand.

(USA district etc. at bottom right of letterhead format)

Note: "...the latest Letter to Friends and Benefactors of Bishop Fellay..."

I.e., They are benefactors of B. Fellay, and his friends, not the Society's.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
