I can't for sure say that a deal was signed with Rome, but I can tell you that Saint Michael's has signed a deal with the SSPX. Chuckling board members would not say what the so-called "agreement" contained, which makes it even more disturbing.

"Oh but the property wasn't signed over." Well, that's nice, but the terms of the docuмent signed were not given, and the people at Saint Michael's deserve to KNOW WHAT IS IN THAT DOcuмENT.

But it's a secret. They won't tell us, and chuckle about it.

Fellay is getting the "feather in his cap."

Soulgard, I can tell you right now, you're nuts.

We know that an agreement was signed. THEY ADMITTED THEY SIGNED SOMETHING WITH THEM. THAT IS NOT SPREADING RUMORS, AND IT IS NOT PRIVATE INFORMATION!

THEY WILL NOT TELL US WHAT THEY SIGNED. THEY WON'T TELL US THE TERMS OR ANYTHING!

Surely spreading rumours and revealing private information on a website is a sin.

Private information ?

Really ?

I can recommend the OP not sign the next check she places in the plate, and then demand to know what was agreed to by the board, continue to not sign your checks until they relent.

Don't worry. They haven't gotten a thin dime from us since the SSPX took over there.

Lying is a sin too.

This is nothing but gossip and rumor.

This forum is full of it.

I think you people are addicted to gossip, because this looks like BS to anyone who is not in the "Resistance".

I'm not "in the Resistance" but I can tell you that when a priest dies, chapels go in to chaos. If there is a board of directors, this is exactly what happens.

In fact, many chapels with a board have a lot of problems even when the priest is alive.

Saint Michael's is located in De Pere, WI. Father Bolduc was the pastor at Saint Michael's for more than 25 years. When he died, the SSPX moved in.

Some of us knew there were problems in the SSPX. Father Bolduc had invited several priests of the Resistance up here before he died (BEFORE IT WAS EVEN ESTABLISHED AS THE RESISTANCE, SOULGUARD.)

Anyway, we were told by the board initially that the SSPX was only to be at Saint Michael's TEMPORARILY. And later we were told that the search for an independent priest WAS NOT HAPPENING, so how does that make the SSPX stay here temporary if they're not even looking for an alternative?

The SSPX (I know this for a fact) has ASKED to have the church turned over to them and that didn't happen, so they're taking the gradual approach. Deal here, deal there. They're even wanting to build a school here. If Father Bolduc thought that it would have thrived here, he would have started one himself! HE WAS THE ONE WHO BOUGHT SAINT MARYS WITH MR. BEEMSTER'S MONEY! (the one who owned the land that Saint Michael's is on.) Father Bolduc was also the FIRST HEADMASTER at Saint Marys! When Father Bolduc was kicked out, Mr. Beemster sued the SSPX for his money back, and won.

We've been kept in the dark about so much here. This latest thing, and the chuckling board members that would not give the details of what was contained in the agreement speaks VOLUMES. Father thought he was picking the right people... people he could trust to do the right thing for the Church up here, but instead, all resistance initially, was squashed like a bug. The people that resisted were marginalized and maligned.

I still consider myself a parishioner of Saint Michael's even though it's been taken over.

This was the last straw.

It's SHOCKING how easily the SSPX totally took over there, with barely a whimper from the people.

Apparently, we deserve this. God is separating the wheat from the chaff.

DEAD FISH SWIM DOWNSTREAM!

Here's a little background on the situation, while things were fresh in my mind when this whole thing started.
