More priests to join the resistance?

  • Word is that at least one very respected priest in the Society is considering joining the resistance. We should pray that he makes the right decision. I think the resistance in the
    anglophone countries will grow tremendously if he does.  It seems the resistance to the new direction with Rome is getting stronger week by week.
    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...

    Why are so many hoping that the priests who resist striking a deal with Rome leave the

    Society? It would be far better for the Society to resist a deal with Rome as a whole so

    that we do not lose priests, seminarians and buildings. It is not too late! Pray for that!

    I am not afraid of Mass in hotels, but I am afraid of Mass every few weeks or months.

    I wonder how many of those who are so hot to separate from the SSPX have been with

    it from the beginning and remember what it was like. We have paid for these buildings,

    these seminarians are our sons and grandsons and nephews. Bishop Tissier's

    recent sermon proved that all is not remotely lost. Archbishop Lefebvre will still save his

    magnum opus. Too many resistors remind me the woman who stood before Solomon

    demanding the child be cut in half.

  • At the moment, I think he may be in Africa, but a close friend who used to attend Mass at the seminary in Winona is who told me about the situation.  But, I think it would benefit the entire resistance in general.

    My earliest memories are attending Masses in Hotel conference rooms with Fr. Post, and my last SSPX Mass was in a hotel conference room in Corpus Christi, Texas in 2013.   Mass there is only once a month.  It doesn't seem to matter which group of priests you support or which location you move to,  God decides overall if the priests will arrive for your next Mass.  Those of us who support the good Bishop, whom I look forward to seeing next week, want to see Tradition continue, that is all.  That what is received is handed down.  Granted, there are many good priests in the SSPX, one of whom I spoke with last week,  if they stand together they will be stronger, whether that is inside the SSPX or "outside".  If they decide that they will not remain quiet about things that they do not agree with and must choose between "remaining silent" or speaking and being kicked out in the cold,  I just hope that they are not alone and that there will be groups of faithful well-informed by those who had the courage to speak before hand to receive these humble priests.  To look at the SSPX as a sort of messianic group sent to save the Church could be a great downfall for us.  It is best to pray the 15 mysteries everyday and set the example and preserve Tradition, rather than get set on trademarks and brand names.

  • I wouldn't worry about losing buildings. When the diocese of Campos received the modernist Bishop Navarro and he began to persecute the traditionalist priests, they erected churches beside the modernist occupied ones with the support from Bishop De Castro Mayer formimg the Priestly Union of St. John Marie Vianney.

    Don't be surprised if we soon see a repeat of this with the Society and the priestly union Marcel Lefebvre.

  • I  would guess that you are speaking about Fr. Peter Scott. He is the only one I know of who would  fit your description given of a prominent English speaker who  is now in Africa and whose departure from the Society would be a major event.

    Who said I know what his name is?

    All I am saying is that word is some may join and at least one very respected one and that we should pray for them to make the right decision and be ready to support them.

    That is all.

  • Apparently, at least one person is adverse to the idea of praying for priest and supporting them in difficult times.
