As I said elsewhere there are better places for one's trusting nature and limited resources. And associating with the Society with the wrong attitude nullifies any spiritual benefit .... assuming there is some benefit for naive souls. The Church is not a prison to endure; we suffer with the Church because others wish to imprison her using clerical language and practice.

The most comical observance of this new Rosary crusade, apart from the clear error of intention # 2, is that didn't Bergoglio say something about people counting Rosaries and offering them to him. He made a mockery of them and them called them Pelagians. Let's see how this one sits with him. Is it Bishop Fellay's way of getting even? By calling another one.

Maybe he did say that, but what I recall hearing is that he shunned the principle of repetitious prayer, without mentioning any specific prayer(s). That could apply to the Rosary, for sure, but it can also apply to the Kyrie Eleison in the Mass, or the Leonine prayers after Low Mass, or the Second Confiteor (before Communion), or the Litany of Loretto, or any other litany, for that matter. In fact, it pretty much applies to the entire body of Catholic Tradition!

This pope is an ENEMY of Catholic Tradition.

While I can understand what you're saying about maybe it's +F's way of getting even, but I don't think so. I think +F is just being himself. He tries to lead others around by his antics and so he's trying to lead the Pope around, too. On the surface of it, I don't think there is anything amiss. Lots of Rosaries offered to this Pope might make some kind of difference.

It's really sad, however, to see Our Lady's Rosary being used for a political football.

And if +F attempts to WIPE HIS FEET on Our Lady's mantle as if she's his DOORMAT, it's not going to sit very well with a LOT of Catholics, including the French, where the most conspicuously ambiguous SECOND INTENTION was announced.

Quote from: John Grace
The best advice is to pray the 15 mysteries.

Indeed, pray the rosary to Our Lady whose intentions are always pure and true.

That's very good advice.

On deeper consideration, I think what I might do is withhold turning the tallies in because under no circuмstances would I entrust my prayers to the crypto-Jew currently defiling the Holy Chair of St. Peter; and I absolutely expect that SSPXBrand will employ them ill-wise by laying them at his doorstep.

I’ll give them directly to the Blessed Mother, my Captain and Chief.

I do very much want to simply and publicly unite myself with all the sincere people praying the SSPX Rosary Crusade to God to protect – and hopefully unify - Tradition.

I believe that is a very good work.

Wise and well spoken. As I said earlier, we are always united in the one body to all who pray for those intentions of our Holy Church.

God Bless you my dear.

P.S. Committing our Rosaries directly to our Mother eliminates the possibility of any skimming in between.

Yup.

God bless you, kind sir!

The important thing is to pray the Rosary. You can make your intentions what are important to you. Our Lady is the one who's on the front lines. She's the one who will crush the head of satan.

It seems to me that not turning our tally sheets in to the SSPX is a great idea.

But if we have such a tally sheet, we might consider turning it in to our preferred Resistance priest.

In the USA, you can send them to Fr. Hewko. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

In Canada, you can send them to Fr. Girouard. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

In Latin America, you can send them to Fr. Arizaga or Fr. Trincado or Fr. Altamira.

In Brazil, you can send them to Dom Tomas Aquino.

In Asia, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, you can send them to Fr. Chazal.

In Europe, Great Britain, Iceland, Greenland, you can send them to +Williamson.

In Africa, you can send them to Fr. Pierre-Célestin N’dong (Gabon), or Fr. Rémi Picot (Kenya).

India, Bangladesh, Burma and Sri Lanka -- Fr. Valan Rajakumar.

I'm sure none of these would mind.

We have recourse.

In France, your options are manifold and manifest.

Quote from: Matthew

This will be my first time NOT participating in the Rosary Crusade.

Oh, I'll be saying my daily Rosary, and I have no problem with the intentions. They are some of the things we pray for anyhow.

If my intention is to honor Our Lady, get the graces and merits of the Rosary, and for my intentions to be granted, then there's no reason to gather them up in a pile in front of Bishop Fellay.

That part is only for SSPX negotiating power, prestige, politics, bragging rights, etc.

But now that I see the pattern -- how the Rosary Crusades are used as a distraction, a publicity tool, a form of "Bread and Circuses" for pious Trads, etc. I don't think I can contribute.

Attending an SSPX chapel for the Mass is one thing. Signing up for Bishop Fellay's Rosary Crusade is almost like an endorsement of him, or a "confidence" vote. At least that's how many are going to see it.

In good conscience, I can't do that.

Now if the POPE were heading up something like this, I would contribute because he's the Pope, and I should follow the pope when he commands something good. But Bishop Fellay isn't the pope :)

He's just the Superior General of a pious union of priests that used to be very solid and uncompromising in its defense of Catholic Tradition (a.k.a. "the Faith") but now is inconsistent and wavering quite a bit. It has cast out some of its best priests (and one bishop), and forces the rest (of the good ones) to remain silent.

As such, +Fellay and his organization no longer have my confidence. I will make use of their sacraments, but I no longer have in them a "rah rah" cause to unequivocally support, as I did in the past. Now I can only support the Resistance that way.

I am printing out the above and sending to friends who go to the SSPX and know about the SSPX only what they are told by their priest. They are an elderly couple without internet access. In her last letter, she asked if I was praying the rosary crusade (she is), and I am sending her Matthew's reply which echoes my own sentiments.
