St. Marys Academy has dedicated a new scoreboard to the Bishop that was installed as the first Bishop of Kansas when it was a territory. His name is Bishop John Baptiste Miege. Why not call it Archbishop Lefebre Field. Money was donated for it by the Kaw Valley Bank. This could be the reason. It seems The Society is slowly moving away from its founder. Becoming more politically correct. Saint Marys Academy has professionally made signs that no longer say anything about THE Society of PIUS X on them at two of the Academy's entrances. Pretty soon they'll say Who ,Archbishop Lefebre, never heard of him. The sign they had on State Rd. 24 was large wooden and said specifically ,run by the Pius x Society.
I love it when people write about my home who have most likely never been here and get all their info from some disgruntled person or other. In our chapel, which was built as a refectory originally by the Jesuits for their seminary, there is a beautiful stained glass window of Bishop Miege. He was an extremely important part of the history of St. Mary's and particularly our campus. This was an Indian Mission and he was also important to the Pottawatomie. We in St. Mary's have always been interested in the history of the town. For many years the halls of the College have been lined with the photographs of Jesuit priests who were here and the buildings as they used to be. Archbishop Lefebvfe, in fact, encouraged all of this. He had no interest in setting himself up as a focal point of the place. He wanted the Church and the Church history to be important. There is a little Indian Mission museum just off the campus with tons of historical artifacts about the saintly missionary priests who lived and worked among the Indians. This is a good thing, not a negative.
I have lived in St. Mary's for many decades, probably more years than many of you have been alive. If there are any here who don't know Archbishop Lefebvre it is because they are either brand new to tradition and accidentally fell upon this place, or they are deaf, dumb and blind. Many of us who live here knew him, listened to his sermons, conferences, spoke and walked with him. My son sat on his lap as a small boy while the Archbishop spoke with the press. Why, you can't even spell his name correctly. What do
you even know about him?
I am completely against any deal with Rome until it converts. But I am also completely against unfortunates who know nothing but talk about everything. You do harm and you wrong this little town. I'll wager there is more true Catholicism concentrated in this place than you will find anywhere else in the country. On Sunday we had another candlelight rosary procession through our town praying the 15 decades for the triumph of Our Lady's Immaculate Heart and for the consecration of Russia. At one point our rector and our mayor, both former St. Mary's Academy students,
formally consecrated this town to Our Lady and put it under Her protection. He knows what is coming. Chastisement is around the corner, any day now we will be facing war and financial collapse. Why don't you spend some extra time praying the rosary and stop gossiping about this place that was dedicated by Archbishop Lefebvre and which he prophesied would become a great center of Catholicism in the United States. St. Mary's is a glorious place to live if you love God, Our Lady, the Church and your greatest desire is Heaven by the straightest possible path. I'm sure that my comments will be displeasing to most here who simply live to find fault with the Society of St. Pius X. It is a sad preoccupation.
