Bishop Fellay's letter to friends and benefactors.
My mother and I got done reading it together, and when we got to the end of it, we were like, :stare: "What is your actual point? When you write a letter, you should have an actual point in writing it."
When I started reading Fr. Rostand's letter, my BS detector started going of right away. (I gave the packet to my mother, which included a letter from Fr. Rostand, several pages of what appeared to be some kind of catechism lesson from Bishop Fellay, a 2-3 CD set of "Resistance to What?" [lol] and a companion, of sorts, to Fr. Themann's "Resistance to What?". ) When I get the stuff back, I wrote notes there, so I will share my thoughts with you (which Fr. Rostand would probably say is sinful, but I'd like to remind Fr. Rostand that LYING IS ALSO A SIN [remember when you told us that the missal at the altar that you all were using was the same missal that Fr. Bolduc used when he had Mass? You lied. Yes, you did. You lied.] )
When I read that companion (because I heard enough in the first 20 minutes of Fr. Themann's talk online before I even got it on CD to get so nauseated as to be forced to shut it off) with my mom, we got about halfway through it before she had to leave, but I wrote a ton of notes there, and I can't wait to discuss what my mom finds in the rest of it with her, and then come here and share it all with you all.
Anyway, the reasoning there is so flawed, I wonder what kind of philosophy class he really took, because I've never heard of "speculative truth." I mean, here's the definition of 'speculative."
Speculative.
1: involving, based on, or constituting intellectual speculation; also : theoretical rather than demonstrable <speculative knowledge>
2: marked by questioning curiosity <gave him a speculative glance>
3: of, relating to, or being a financial speculation <speculative stocks> <speculative venture>
synonyms: notional - theoretical
These seem to be contradictory terms. A speculative truth? Um... yeah. No. This is not something Saint Thomas Aquinas would have ascribed to.
If something is true, then it either is true, or it's NOT true. Ugh. Anyway, later I'll comment on more of it.
OH I ALMOST FORGOT! Of course, there was an envelop to donate. And on the front of the big white manilla envelop, It said "THE SSPX, FALSELY ACCUSED."
I loled.
