The SSPX cannot claim jurisdiction over the Carmelites, whose convents are independent. If I understand correctly their original agreement, the priests can only act as chaplains (after all, what can a man know about a cloistered female community and its needs?). They should leave the good Sisters in peace and allow their chaplain to continue until they find a proper replacement for him, instead of using the sacraments to make them change their minds. All this is very upsetting.

It is by their extreme intolerance and domineering behavior that their true loyalties become manifest.

Thanks for this. And you did even translate the new editorial of Fr. Schmidberger where he states his delusional position concerning the Carmel. I'm thankful for you doing so, because I did not have the heart to do this cruel job.

Best part is that one and a half year ago Fr. Schmidberger transfered for disciplinary reasons the faithful Fr. Zaby to Brilon am Wald as the Carmel's chaplain. This is such a remote location.
"The biter will be bitten." In the end the brave Fr. Zaby helped in bringing the faithful Carmel to the resistance, and Fr. Schmidberger now boils with rage (see his distorted editorial).

God moves in mysterious ways.

Quoting Fr. Schmidberger (below)......This seems to be a perfect description of Bp. Fellay and what he's actually doing to the SSPX!!!!

"This separation should remind us all of the warnings of the great Apostle Paul: "He that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall." (1 Cor 10:12). He does not 'say he who stands', but 'he who thinks that he stands', precisely because many souls believe themselves in safety; they bathe themselves in virtue, while pride and self-righteousness have ensnared their hearts long ago. Stubbornness, self-righteousness, condescension, criticism, false dialectic, mockery and malice are not the gifts of the Holy Ghost, but characteristics of the adversary of God. It does not matter to him whether he causes the downfall of a soul through its well-known weaknesses, or through its pride of its own virtues. Too often the devil turns into an angel of light and performs his work of seduction sub specie boni – under the disguise of good. If one carries one’s own right too far, for example, the highest injustice can be done."
