I don't think all was well in the SSPX in 2008. Bishop Fellay's machinations were grinding along, even though they weren't quite as obvious to many people back then.

Let's put it this way -- the infamous "throw Bishop Williamson under the bus" incident happened in 2009. That was when Bishop Fellay silenced Bishop Williamson (this became known publicly) after the infamous German TV station interview. That was my first wake-up call that something is going wrong in the SSPX.

I think 2008 was during the twilight of the SSPX.

Of one thing I rejoice and am 100% certain.  At my Particular Judgment, Our Lord will NOT have consulted Fr. Pfeiffer, Fr. Hewko, Pablo the Mexican, Bp. Williamson, Bp. Fellay, or any other earthly priest or society including the novus ordo.

Do yourself a favor, Martin. Stick your finger down your throat, spit out the last vestiges of that Kool-Aid, and wake up to reality. Your tortuous labyrinth of self-inflicted confusion and navel-gazing is mind-deadening. You have misjudged the fervent Catholic posters on CathInfo, and owe them all an apology. Additionally, delete the unconscious insinuations of your own moral transcendence. Get off the fence and choose a side; and take your brother home.

That's basically what I said, only not as rudely.

1. Martin still has vestiges of the Pfeiffer kool-aid in his system
2. He is now "one of us", but that thought still horrifies him (see #1) because Fr. Pfeiffer beats into the members of his compound that CathInfo is evil and other propaganda.
3. Because of #2, he was trying to distance himself from the average CI member, acting as though we didn't go through the same disillusionment or embrace the same commitment to Catholic charity and morality that he did.

You're right though; he seems to have difficulty fulling coming to terms with the truth of the situation. He's getting there slowly but surely, emphasis on the slowly.

Some people have given into ad-hominem attacks here. They are unjust, personal attacks, the kind of which paxtecuм111 has recently provided. 

The term “Pfeifferite” has been applied to those who support any element coming from Boston, and is meant to denigrate that person, as well as cast suspicion on whatever topic that person has discussed.

That is one, very small example of the problems I have seen. The flat earth debacle is another, with members of both sides acting like monkeys fighting over some territory.

I cannot support such denigration of character, and I will speak out against it. 

If you have a problem, stick to the facts, and leave the personal diatribe out of it. 

My brother will do what to do and when he decides to do it. I cannot forced him to do anything, though he knows full well what I believe he should do. 

Yes, Father Pfeiffer and Pablo have hurt my family, but as hominem and other insults will do nothing to help my family, or guide my brother. 

I’ll take the high road. I don’t care if others don’t like that decision, or think it is a pompous act of “moral transcendence”. 

It’s the right thing to do.
