Fr. Goldady left the confessional to help distribute communion-- and made it a point, in front of several hundred parishioners, to deny Holy Communion to the editor. Of course, Father Rostand later joked, during his conference that "I hear in America you have freedom of speech!"

My husband was there and I will verify this with him when he returns.

During the little conference, Fr Rostand talked of "some" of the steps from 2000 through 2012. He also took some questions, but was unable to answer any of them.

This is simply not true.  My husband was there and he called afterwards.  Fr. Rostand answered all the questions.  The 'opposition' was not a very large group, and in speaking with a number of the regulars afterwards, he found that many of them were not SSPX Mass goers.

He said Bp. Fellay's comments in the CNS interview were taken out of context. But when asked if they contacted CNS and told them to correct the interview, he didn't know.

Again, I will ask my husband about this.

He was asked  by a parishioner if there is a good communications between higher-ups and the priests. After much waffling, he finally admitted "No". When asked directly is there is good communications between  the faithful and the SSPX  (mgmt), after much waffling, he answered no, probably not. But this is the same Father Rostand who said to your editor, when I said, "Father, anything you find inaccurate or wrong (on this website), I'll correct" all he could say was "just take it down".

I will also ask him about this.  I beleive he already mentioned this to me and his account differs from this one.  I will verify when he gets back.

When asked directly by one of  the faithful whether Bishop Fellay, over a week ago stated to Seminarians in Econe that he (Bp Fellay) had been deceived by Rome( something covered by many major news sources), he stated "I don't know"-- then, after much waffling, he said "he may have said something like that."

I will check on this one too.
     
   

At the conference, almost every single question put to Father Rostand was left unanswered. The dancing around the questions was legendary. The first retort on any of the quotes (which parishioners offered) of the Archbishop's was, "when did he say that?".

This is not true.  This was one of the first items my husband told me of.  He asked the person when did ABL say that and the person did not know.  He told him and then went on to quote other ABL quotes that came after that.

So what can a Catholic conclude? 1) Priests like Fr Goldade are scared out of their wits to oppose Fr. Rostand-- and they cannot think for themselves. It was stated during the conference many, many times-- "If they (the priests) don't like it here (in the SSPX) they can leave!"

I will verify this, too.  Since so many other things are incorrect.

   

NeelyAnn,
Does your husband know how to read and write?  I'm not big on hearsay.
 :confused1:

Funny, because that entire article is based on hearsay and my guess is you liked it very much and you are ready to swallow every bit of what it says, true or not, simply because it is what you want to hear.

My husband was there and called me after the conference to tell me what was said and how it went.  He also made a point to speak with Fr. Rostand in person, on his own.

As I stated, when he returns, I will go over the entire post, from the 'sos...' website, with him.

Oh boy, this is rich. NeelyAnn is going to stand in judgment and find things she
can misinterpret so she can hurl firey darts of cantankerisms. I can hardly wait.....

................. NOT.


One thing's for sure: Fr. Rostand et. al. will be a little more aware they can't just
roll out the same old program again and again and get away with it. The words they
use will be duly noted. And the shills they employ will be on overtime refuting what
they don't approve of. But that's okay, because there will be witnesses, and they will
know what is true and what is spin zone stuff.  

Let's see the hard questions answered, the ones Fr. Rostand shies away from.
Maybe NeelyAnn's husband can give Fr. Rostand's answers, since he heard them
first hand. Oh, wait, he can deny the questions were asked! Perhaps he had to step
out for a minute to move his car, and that's when they must have asked all these
really sticky questions, and all the waffling happened. Yeah. That's the ticket.
