I should probably clarify, then, since Neil got that impression, that I do not intend to cast aspersions on Fr P's will, but only to observe that his theology is wrong and dangerous. It is SSPX novelty, and its purpose is to preserve the SSPX program on the crisis. I don't doubt that Fr believes the SSPX program IS the truth, but that doesn't justify his novel approach which necessarily bends Catholic teaching and understanding to fit into that program.

I know Fr is trying to figure his way through the crisis like the rest of us. But he isn't above criticism on such a serious issue with grave implications and consequences.

Interesting. Would this also mean detraction on Fr P's part given that he attacked sedevacantists in a venue where they presumably were not around to defend themselves or their position?

Truly the product of an SSPX education, and a faithful disciple of ABL.

In case you didn't get the tongue-in-cheek... I really meant "SSPX indoctrination" as opposed to education. :rolleyes:

Quote from: Ferdinand's children
There were at least a dozen faulty analogies and quasi (if not outright) heresies in his sermon. If I was his superior I would send him to a monastery to study in silence for the remainder of his life.

The "resistance" is definitely in a tailspin.

Sorry to stretch this thread even more! I've been a Traditional Catholic in India since December 1993 but I seriously considered switching to the Novus Ordo during the period 2008-10 during the tenure of three "outstanding" SSPX priests.

For the umpteenth time, Sean, I am not a sedevacantist

I recognize Francis as the valid pope, the Novus Ordo as both a valid and licit liturgy, and the Second Vatican Council as a valid ecuмenical council.

I am not a sedvacantist either. But I do consider the NO as intrinsically evil. V2 was the greatest evil, so much so, in fact that it makes little difference whether it was "valid" or not. Like ABL, I believe the conciliar church to be an illegitimate parallel church, overseen and run by "anti-Christs" and clerics who have "left the Faith." But in order to avoid the possibility of not going to Heaven, I must reluctantly concede that Francis is the pope and do my best to "unite" myself to him. This is an insane declaration, I know, but then, we live in an insane period. Traditional Catholicism, IMO, is on life support.

So, dear Hollingsworth,
To save your soul, you consciously adhere to a man who is an anti-Christ, who with other anti-Christs, is running an intrinsically evil conciliar church, just because, at the same time, the same person is also in charge of the Catholic Church--to which you wish to belong?
What you are saying, it appears, is that, Monday through Saturday "your man" Francis has "left the Catholic faith," but on Sunday morning, he and the rest of the conciliar bishops, come crawling back into the Catholic Church from their conciliar perches, long enough to celebrate an invalid , protestant mass, and this makes them Catholic in your book?
If Brogoglio is, as you say, an anti-Christ head of a false conciliar church; He Cannot be the head of the Catholic Church. The same person cannot at once be both the devil AND the Vicar of CHRIST.

This thread is a good example of why Fr. Pfeiffer does not use the Internet.

130 posts in the past 24 hours, and they're largely about him.

But he's not here to defend himself, therefore this is detraction.

Detraction is a sin.

But in his absence, he would probably say that he doesn't mind the free publicity.

.

Yes, it is time to put this to rest.
Father Pfeiffer has his own view on things which comes from his SSPX formation. To those who are of the same mind, this probably was an outstanding sermon. To others it seems a bit off the mark in the pay of particular agenda which is more accommodating to Conciliar Rome but, what it does show, is that the SSPX and the resistance so called are identical save the conflict with Bishop Fellay's more expansive attitude towards the Rome of the Council.

Father is out in the public, preaching and counseling to a worldwide audience, and the fact that he stretches allegories at times to make his point is going to gain for him detractors. He knows that is a given when attacks others for their opposing views.

There are few if any Traditional groups today who do not have theological soft spots. True Catholic rigour is lost in this generation which is mired in a caliginous liberal fog.

So, yes, it is time to move on, this arrow is spent.
