    Pablo, Pablo, why do you have to act this way?  In any case, the priest he was referring to is Fr. Raphael Arizaga OSB, from the Benedictines in Silver City.  As far as I know, there is no confirmation aside from Pablo that he has been kicked out though it wouldn't surprise me since he has been under constant criticism and threat for his personal position on the present situation.  Here is some good info about him:

    http://www.sspxseminary.org/files/VERBUM/V0109_JUL2009.pdf

    Pablo, could you please forward on Fr. Raphael's contact information either to the board or in a PM?  There are many who have the will and means to help but have not way of getting in touch with these priests.  When you withhold information like even who the priest is, you deprive them of prayers, material assistance and places to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  I hope you will realize the gravity of the error of doing that and will stop.



    Pablo,

    Couple points that need to be addressed:

    1).  You say: "His Excellency Bishop Richard Williamson was thrown out into the darkness by the Holy Ones of the SSPX, and a whimpering dog made more noise than any of you all."

    Pablo, what is it that you expect people to do?  Buy plane tickets to Switzerland and protest outside of Menzingen HQ?  Have sit-ins at their local SSPX churches and get arrested?  What?  We are doing ALL that we can do.  What this entails is donating all the money we can to the support of our priests and to establishing our own Mass centers for them.  There is nothing more that can be done nor that the priests have even mentioned.  We constantly ask them: "Is there anything more we can do, Father" and they say no, there is not.  His Lordship, Bishop Williamson told us the same, that there is nothing more we can do.

    You think you are somehow a model of what people should do because you run a website for Fr. Pfeiffer?  Anyone could do that and, with how your bizarre and unbalanced demeanor puts Father and the whole movement in danger of scandal, anyone else should.  I've seen the Phoenix mass center, Pablo.  It is no different than most every other.  Why is it that you have not build a permanent church for the Mass or a permanent home for the visiting priests?

    2).  You say Father Raphael has "gone into hiding" from us "Trads", who you call "treacherous devils".

    Number one, Father Raphael has not gone into "hiding".  Father is staying with acquaintances because he has no financial means of doing anything else and, like every other traditional priest who has been kicked out of the SSPX, his dignity does not permit him to go on discussion boards and appeal for help.  He, like Father Pfeiffer and many others, simply continue to do what they can for souls and whenever people can find out how to get material assistance to them, so be it.  If you truly have Father Raphael's contact information, it is YOU who is committing a terrible offense against Father Raphael and Our Lord by preventing his spiritual children from knowing how to help him.  That is NOT Father Raphael's will or decision. :surprised:



    I fully agree with the OP, Amicus.

    Pablo, you shouldn't worry about being the nexus or cornerstone of the Resistance, and think more about God's glory and what's good for the Church and for souls.
    Want to say "thank you"?
