EMAIL FROM FATHER GIROUARD TO HIS PARISHIONERS TODAY, ABOUT THE SECRET JUNE MEETING[/u]
Dear parishioners,
Somebody (anonymous) said his District Superior (country unspecified) is going to a special SSPX General Chapter in Menzingen to take place June 25-29. Why this is a secret meeting is anyone's guess. But remember that the 2012 General Chapter said that, in the event of a Rome agreement proposal, an Extraordinary General Chapter would have to be convoqued to study it and to give an answer to it. In view of all that happened in the last months, we could assume that this is what this secret meeting is about.
Unless this is a preparatory meeting to get the "feel" of the Major Superiors, and/or to get a first tentative answer of the Society to a first tentative offer from Rome.
In other words, there might be more of such secret meetings in a process of tweaking out the draft proposals from Rome. Then, after this process, Rome would present an official proposal, and the SSPX would have its official, non-secret, Extraordianry Chapter to give an official answer to this proposal. Prayers, possibly a novena to the Holy Ghost, or a fifth Rosary Crusade, would be set in motion, to make the faithful believe that they somehow can influence the outcome. But the outcome would already have been decided in the previous secret meetings. The Extraordinary G. Chapter (EGC) would be there just to rubber stamp the decision, and the prayers would be asked just to be able to say to the faithful that the EGC reached the decision wanted by God. Consequently, those who will refuse the agreement will be qualified as resisting God's Will.
That's my two cents.
Still, let us pray...
God bless,
Father
