Because He Would Have Nothing to Do with the Uncatholic New Order Sect

Fr. Hector Bolduc was one of those early heroes of the Traditional Catholic Movement who suffered much in the early days of Newchurch because he refused to have anything to do with the unCatholic New Order sect. He was ordained by Archbishop Lefebvre in 1974. By that time the "establishment" Church had already defected to the New Order sect and viciously attacked Fr. Bolduc for offering the true Catholic Mass and Sacraments, which the New Order sect had abandoned after 1964. The New Order sect hates those true priests who had the courage to stay away from it and denounce it as unCatholic, and even invalid, as did Fr. Bolduc and Archbishop Lefebvre.

Fr. Bolduc became the SSPX's U.S. Southwest District Superior in the 1970s. In 1983, he left the SSPX, became independent, and served traditional Catholic congregations in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Maine, inter alia.

All too many pseudo-traditionalists of the present day are willing to sell out to the same New Order sect that Fr. Bolduc and Archbishop Lefebvre so courageously resisted as unCatholic. Like the Archbishop's effete successor, Bernie Fellay, of the Neo-SSPX, they swallow Benedict-Ratzinger's Great "Motu" Mess Hoax and keep putting money into the Newchurch collection plate to pay off for the sɛҳuąƖ crimes, most of them ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ and paedophiliac, that, to this day, Newchurch leaders, including Benedict-Ratzinger, still support.

Good Catholics, you should realize that you owe a deep debt of gratitude to the early heroes of the Traditional Catholic Movement, like Fr. Hector Bolduc, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, and Fr. Gommar DePauw, the Founder of the Catholic Traditionalist Movement. These heroes of our Traditional Catholic Movement refused to sell out to the phony and unCatholic Newchurch of the New Order and show up the pseudo-traditionalist "Extraordinary Mess" sellouts for the pusillanimous patsies that they are.

Prayers for his soul.

 

I served Holy Mass for him in people's basements when he was newly ordained - if my memory serves me correctly, he had some type of pretty severe sleeping disorder back then - does anyone know what he died of?

Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.

I am deeply saddened by the death of Fr. Bolduc.  He was a fine Traditional priest who truly fought the good fight and ran the good race.   Whenever my husband and I were in DePere, WI, we attended his beautiful little Chapel.  Fr Bolduc celebrated the Mass according to the 1948 Missal and delivered terrific sermons about the terrible crisis in the Church today.  Because of the SSPX crisis, my husband and I really considered moving there and becoming his parishioners -  now it is too late.  Kyrie Eleison!  

Eternal rest grant unto Fr. Bolduc, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon him.  May his soul, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace.  Amen.

Father Hector Bolduc, RIP
by Brother André Marie September 10, 2012

We ask our tertiaries, friends, and benefactors to keep Father Hector Bolduc in your prayers. Father Bolduc was a long-time friend of Saint Benedict Center. It was he who arranged the meeting in St. Mary’s, Kansas between Brother Francis and Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1980. He was, at the time, a priest of the Society of Saint Pius X.

Father Bolduc was a hard-working priest who was most self sacrificing in the administration of the sacraments. He was also a good friend, and took criticism for his championing of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

Father Bolduc had stage four cancer. His death is no surprise. A tertiary of ours in Wisconsin wrote us this morning: “Father Bolduc didn’t show up for Mass this morning and, when someone checked on him, they found that he had passed away some time during the night in his sleep.  Please pray at least one Ave Maria for the repose of the soul of this great man.”

I pray for the Repose of his Soul.

Also, I understand Father Finnegan gave Father Boulduc Extreme Unction.

Say a Hail Mary for Father Finnegan. And Brother Eric.

Thank you. I also wondered this myself. Thank God for this. This is very comforting. He was so worried about everyone else all the time. He said to me, "The more adversity I run into, the longer I'll be around."

Two weeks ago he said this. His extraordinary sense of duty was rare to be seen this day and age.

We can ask him to pray for us as well, for surely, if he is not already in heaven, he will soon be.  Requiescant en pace, good Father.
