I am referring to this letter:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGMnFPTWVVNlQ4bms/viewI read it, or at least skimmed most of it, enough to get the idea.
I just wanted to point out that amidst all the pious posturing, moo-ing, drama, and attestations that they just can't be part of this march to Modernism, etc. at least ONE of the signers' testimonies rings hollow.
He lives about 1 hour from a Fr. Zendejas chapel, where Mass is offered EVERY SUNDAY and even has High Mass on 1st Sundays and Benediction on 3rd Sundays.
But, I know, he's not part of
the Catholic Church Fr. Pfeiffer's group. And he's a "wetback". (Excuse my language. But I have reason to believe that F.M. is motivated about 30-50% by his dislike of a Mexican priest with an accent)
He wouldn't come here when Fr. Trinh was saying Mass either, because Fr. Pfeiffer didn't get back to him in time with his permission. Also, Fr. Trinh is Vietnamese, with an accent.
I smell racism.
So for F.M. at least, a lot of what he says in the docuмent rings hollow. God is providing him with a spotless source of grace, via Mass and the Sacraments, and he pretends he has nothing.
I can half-understand his "principled stance" in leaving the SSPX, but I can't understand his red-lighting of a perfectly good Resistance chapel. You notice even Fr. Pfeiffer doesn't touch this one anymore publicly. What can he say? Don't go there, he's Mexican? Don't go there, I don't like him?
Speaking of which, that's precisely what some SSPX priests have said to students in the Ridgefield school. When a girl appeared at school with a Fr. Zendejas Ash Wednesday cross on her forehead (Fr. Zendejas mixes a bit of water with the ashes, for an "all day" Ash Wednesday cross), she got in trouble. When the priest was pushed by the parents, he admitted that if she went to the Novus Ordo, Indult, or some other place for Ash Wednesday, that would have been fine. But Fr. Zendejas? No. Because "we don't like him."
