I can't believe what a field day the devil is having with Traditional Catholics.
Don't Trad Catholics have ANY defense against the wiles of the devil? Why is virtue (humility, charity) so rare among Trads? Or knowledge? Both of these are missing in far too many cases.
If you are ignorant, fine. Not everyone's state of life allows a person to study in depth, and acquire the knowledge of, say, a seminarian, priest, or theologian. But at least have humility about it -- don't assume that you, in your ignorance, know everything -- or that your random opinion is as good as anyone else's!
My family and I are maintaining a small independent chapel on our property. We have advertised it all over the place locally, as well as online venues. Those we knew at our local SSPX chapel receive e-mails from us regularly, including a chapel bulletin which is prepared every week.
But we have people who are clearly being ensnared by the devil's net:
A) A lady who won't come because we use the 1962 Missal
B) A different lady who won't come because the Mass is "una cuм" Pope Francis
A and B have both been Trad for 2 or 3 years.
C) A man who won't come because he follows Fr. Pfeiffer blindly and the latter won't approve of Fr. Zendejas. Fr. Voigt told this man to attend the local SSPX (when there is no Resistance Mass available) as long as Fr. Zigrang was there, but he rejected that advice. Why? Because he couldn't get the "go ahead" from Fr. Pfeiffer. See the pattern?
D) A woman with 5 young children (oldest is about 11), one of her girls just received First Communion, won't attend because her father is C).
A and B might get Mass occasionally; C and D are now 100% home aloners. Yes, even the young mother with young children. No Mass, no influence from fellow-Catholics, no more sacraments for them. Because Fr. Zendejas is THAT BAD, right? His doctrine is a roulette spin that's anyone's guess, huh? (Nevermind the fact that he was a public priest in the SSPX for 26 years, and he doesn't have the slightest taint of scandal on his reputation -- both in doctrine and in behavior).
But Fr. Pfeiffer doesn't approve, so Fr. Z is a complete wild card!
How ridiculous can you get.
The devil would be laughing all the way to the bank -- if it were possible for him to have an ounce of joy.
I suppose I should mention that this man C) was known to send Fr. Pfeiffer donation checks for many months before Fr. Pfeiffer finally sent Fr. Voigt here for monthly Mass starting in Sept 2014. Why doesn't Fr. Pfeiffer direct him to the Resistance Mass being offered weekly just 55 minutes from his house? Conflict of interest? Grudge against his "enemy" Fr. Zendejas? Human temptation to get those checks that he could so much use for his apostolate? Makes you wonder.
