Lies about SSPX Resistance in Wikipedia?

  • There is so little truth in this summary, it's scary.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSPX_Resistance

    Fr. Pfeiffer was elected superior by a handful of priests in 2012, but it wasn't like the election of a Pope, where the elected term is "for life". No, it was for TWO YEARS ONLY, which have long since elapsed, and there hasn't been an election since.

    But Fr. Pfeiffer isn't the head of "The Resistance, in any form, any group". What, was he personally anointed by an apparition of St. Peter or Our Lord, to be a sort of second Pope?

    I say "The Resistance, in any form, any group" for a good reason. Note that they say the USML is a synonym for The Resistance, but they also say Fr. Pfeiffer is its Superior General. That is factually inaccurate. The USML does NOT have anything to do with Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer -- much less follow him as a leader.

    Let's put it this way: count me (and most other Resistance supporters) OUT of any group which has Fr. Pfeiffer as its head. End of story.


    No wonder so many people don't want to be part of the Resistance! I wouldn't be part of it either if Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer was involved, much less if he was in charge!

    Back to the list of errors --

    They list "key people" who are indeed involved (although +Lefebvre is deceased), but they are attacked by Fr. Pfeiffer on a constant and regular basis. They are not in the same group as Fr. Pfeiffer. Apparently Fr. Pfeiffer shouldn't even be considered Resistance anymore. He's running his own cult.

    And since when is the Resistance headquartered in Vienna, VA? Whatever Pfeifferite set up and/or guided this Wikipedia to its current state should have put Boston, KY to at least be consistent.

    Wikipedia is worthless. I've tried to add things several times, and they always disappear.

  • Yeah, they omitted the roster of resistance priests, too.  You know, Frs. Morel, Abrahamowicz, Kramer, et al. :D
    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

  • I thought it was possible to find out who the contributors are to any Wiki entry.  (Never tried it myself; I just thought it was possible.)

  • Probably... some xSPX seminarians having a couple of beers and some fun making it all up?

    After all, we attack their Lordship, and fearless leader, Msgr. Fellay.

    Just puts in perspective that Fr. Joe (Pablo) Pfeiffer, who has done so much damage to our beleaguered movement, will end up as a Wiki footnote in Catholic history.

Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

    It could be... because the whole entry is a huge joke.

  • Anyone can edit this post.  You could enter the truth of Boston, Kentucky or some plain nonsense.  There is no vetting process.  That's the problem with Wikipedia and also allows some creative correction for those that know the truth of what is happening.

    Good idea and while you're at it, can you add the "Southern Cross" to the article?

    It's a good rallying flag for our eternal fight.

  • Wikipedia, Quackwatch, Snopes, and any other web site used by the general public to check facts will be heavily managed by propagandists eager to exploit public trust. Much content will be truthful. When it comes to the content that matters most to the propagandists, that specific content will be propagandized.

    The American public still thinks in very black or white terms, and can't intellectually fathom that propagandists will mix truth and propaganda together on a web site, to gain trust and allow for greater penetration of disinformation.

    Ignorance of our enemy's ways is our downfall. We fall right into Lucifer's hands this way.
