But it was too much....he comment was not approved....Anything opposing tradcuмenism will not be tolerated.

Agree.  And Michael Matt is not alone is this closed-minded thinking; most indulters are the same.  Yet, how many Trads will argue that the indult community is full of "good willed" and "conservative" people?  But this isn't true at all.  Your small experience here proves otherwise.  Most of these people are NOT open to the truth, NOT open to challenges to their worldview, NOT open to criticisms of new-rome.  They have their rinky-dink latin mass, they are approved by new-rome and they are satisfied.  They are not interested in the True Faith, or True Traditionalism because it's too hard and too fringe.

Pax V... :applause:...Absolutely nail on the head true with the friends who choose to remain in “the state of indultery.” The only thing I have been able to, that would bring results, is pray and offer up my sufferings (very heavy as of late) and let Our Lord and the BVM Mary Bogarodzice distribute graces so required for their conversion.

Kazimierz - "Indultery." 

Perfect.

[Maria Regina]

And one of the clans is Opus Dei.
What a coincidence!!!

Of course you said that in sarcasm, as it is not a coincidence at all. It is planned clan control.

The Opus Dei demands obedience to the Pope regardless of his heresies.
They are the enforcers at the Vatican. I had friends in the Opus Dei who
wanted me to attend one of their retreats. No thanks.

I had thought I had mentioned this, but after a quick glance through the thread, do not see that I did:

A Resistance priest reached out to Matthew to order between 15-60 copies for his chapels, pending responses from his faithful.

Now THAT is an edifying example of a priest being zealous in defense of his faithful!!

Sure.  Seems like a bit of preaching to the choir though.  Perhaps he could order 20 copies to pass out at SSPX chapels instead.

Admittedly.

Still, I know many resisters (particularly, those who do not go online) who, when challenged, have a hard time recalling all the water which has passed under the bridge.

It would be great if there was a chance to influence SSPXers, but -and I could be wrong here- I get the impression that most have made their decision by now, and based on what I see in their reactions to Matthew’s Facebook advertisements on their pages, they don’t want to hear anything about it.

Ironically, they construe my book as an attack on the SSPX (just as Paul VI construed Lefebvre as attacking him when he was pointing out the Roman/modernist deviations, whereas Lefebvre himself conceived of himself as helping Rome to come back to the narrow path, and being Rome’s greatest friend), which I suppose was to be expected, but in reality, the book could be a tool to help them see at a glance what they have done.

Gradual changes over 20-25 years are sometimes hard to perceive, and waves of successive changes tend to make people forget the changes which came before the last batch of changes.

Perhaps a book like this, which eliminates all the gradualism, and brings the reader from A to Z in a few hours or days, could give them a greater appreciation and understanding of just how much has changed.

But they have to be willing to consider the arguments and the evidence, and most aren’t.

Still, your point is well taken.

[Pax Vobis]

Sure.  Seems like a bit of preaching to the choir though. 

You'd be surprised at how many attend a resistance/non-new-sspx chapel who do so only because their family/friends do, or because it's closer to their house.  Lots of people have a VERY superficial understanding of the Trad issues of the day, yet they know all about the Hollywood/tabloid headlines and chapel gossip news.  They need to read this stuff so they get what's going on, and so they don't bail on the resistance the minute they don't like a priest's sermon or some other trivial reason.  Will it help overall, for these types of people?  Maybe for a few, but that's worth it.

[Matthew]

I should point out, that God judges on EFFORT, not RESULTS.

The world is the opposite. "Show me the money" or "Results are all that matter."

You don't get a bonus for working your butt off 80 hours a week as a reator. If you sell 0 houses that week, you make $0 for your 80 hours of work.  A month later, if you sell 10 houses easily after putting in only 1 hour each, you could make $60,000 that week.
In the spiritual realm that first week would pay better -- 80 hours vs. 10 hours.

You only get credit for HOW MUCH LOVE (charity) it took to do various tasks. The value of mortifications, labors for God, penances, fasting, almsgiving, etc. is how much charity you worked up to do the act. A billionaire could give $5,000 without even thinking about it, much less having any true charity. A widow could be filled with the love of God (charity) as she put $1 in the collection (see: the widow's mite)

Long story short, God only wants OUR LOVE and OUR EFFORTS motivated by that love. Results are completely secondary, and are just a optional consolation granted by God according to His will and designs.

That's why I support the Resistance, and will always support it. It's what God wants me to do. Who cares if our chapels are in a humble state, there is a priest shortage, and there's a shortage of parishioners to boot. I can't give up on salvation, I can't give up on the Catholic Faith, and I can't give up on serving God.

Eventually the Mass might cease upon earth; but that is up to God. As far as lies in me, I will promote the truth and do my best to build up God's church. Hence my support for the Resistance. When will that end? Not as long as I draw breath and God lives.

If there are any SSPX priests who want the book, we'd be willing to pay for 2 from Matthew. We don't have to know who they are, just send us the bill.

[Frank]

I tried multiple times to get my local SSPX priest to read the CCC docuмent to no avail.
I sent it to a number of my SSPX acquaintances with the same result.
I happen to find the docuмent a masterful accomplishment to be praised.
The only problem is that you will have to revise it constantly because the list keeps growing.

Hi Matthew-

I just came from the ChantCD.com website where you are selling the book, and noticed 297 "likes" on the site.

Is that accurate and legitimate, or just marketing/promo hype?

If that is really 297 different people "liking" the book, then maybe it will have some influence after all?
