I am in the TOSF as are the other founding members of our Fraternity. We were professed by Father Mery SSPX several years ago - he was delegated the power by Morgon.
Then, since according to the Rule and Constitution, any three professed members can form a fraternity, we did.
Then, as noted, analogous to supplied jurisdiction (provided by Divine Positive Law for the good of souls), in the absence of a 1st or 2nd Order Franciscan in the Resistance, we requested Fr Pfeiffer (the Superior of North American Resistance) to erect the Fraternity and appoint Fr Hewko as Director.
We believe that we are following proper procedures under the circuмstances.
