See problems in the SSPX? Interested in the Resistance?
« on: November 15, 2021, 09:19:16 PM »
To those who see the problems in the SSPX, who know about Archbishop Lefebvre and wonder what he would think of the SSPX today. You are wondering if, perhaps, you should support the Resistance? And who is this Fr. Pfeiffer?

Archbishop Lefebvre would be dismayed to see the state of his Society today. They have more or less abandoned everything he stood for, placing the priority of re-unification with Rome out of all proportion with where it should be. +ABL himself said that Rome must first convert before any deal is possible. But here, in reality, Rome is further from Tradition and the Catholic Faith than it has ever been. Read +ABL's own words from the last 3 years of his life -- from the failed deal, Consecrations, and "excommunications" in mid-1988 until his death on the feast of the priesthood, the Annunciation, March 25, 1991.

The SSPX has done many shady things over the past 9 years (since May 2012) and they are not to be trusted, or taken at face value. In particular, the leadership. The priests are a mixed bag, as is any group of more than 10 men. Of late, they have prioritized their reputation, glory, real estate portfolio, and congregation size over the good of souls. They would rather a soul attend their chapel once a year, than attend a Resistance chapel 12 or 52 times a year. That is their thinking now. The SSPX, and the good of the SSPX, has become an END in itself, rather than a MEANS to the salvation of souls.

You've probably heard of Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer, often mentioned together with the Resistance. It is very important that you understand the truth about him and his group.

Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer went off the deep end and basically started losing his mind around late 2014. He is heavily influenced by a diabolical man named Paul Hernandez who calls himself "Pablo the Mexican". For obvious reasons, the SSPX is VERY anxious to convince their flock that the Resistance and Fr. Pfeiffer are one. I know for a fact they do this, despite it being a complete lie. Yes, Fr. Pfeiffer was a "pioneer" of the Resistance, but he went off the rails in late 2014 and started condemning everyone who wouldn't bow to his (papal?) authority. Considering that he doesn't work with any of the Resistance priests (except a few priests, mostly those with a "past" or those he personally "ordained"), and doesn't work with ANY of the 4 Resistance bishops, I think that proves the case quite well. He wants to be the head boss of everything. His way or the highway. His will be done, in all things.

His group there in Boston, KY has all the earmarks of a cult.

Here is a thread with links to many important threads on Fr. Pfeiffer -- each of those threads is a very important topic on its own. Each helps to fully explain what is wrong with Fr. Pfeiffer and his Pfeifferian cult.

What about Fr. Hewko? It looks like he won't work with the 4 Resistance bishops either and are on his own together with Fr. Raphael Arizaga, even though Fr. Hewko is no longer associated with Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer.

…on the feast of the priesthood, the Annunciation…
Sorry for the digression, but can you briefly elaborate the connection of the priesthood with the Annunciation?

Jesus Christ is fundamentally a priest, because of His dual nature (human, divine).
The whole New Testament priesthood, of course, partakes of that one priesthood of Christ. Our Catholic priests are worthy of the name BECAUSE they are Alter Christus, "other Christs".
The most fundamental job of a priest is a bridge, connecting the human with the divine. So Christ, Who had these two natures in Himself, was the Priest par excellence.
When the Second Person of the Holy Trinity first took flesh, He began his Priestly mission, to re-connect man to God.

And, of course, on the Annunciation, when Our Lady said "Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to Thy word." the Holy Ghost overshadowed her and the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity took flesh in her chaste and holy womb, starting out human life very small (not QUITE exactly like any human being, because obviously a miracle was involved in Our Lord's case). For Catholics (and for God), life begins at conception. But also according to Catholics (and God), a baby is a baby, a human being, no matter how small in the womb.

But, again, once the Divine and the human were joined in the Person of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the womb of Our Blessed Mother, the Priesthood of the New Testament began.

My explanation above is my attempt to explain it. However, I didn't make up the original connection of the Annunciation to the priesthood. I will admit that Holy Thursday might be the 1st most priestly feast, and Good Friday was when the Great Sacrifice was consummated -- but both of those dates move each year. As far as fixed-date feasts, or a good 2nd place, you can't beat the Annunciation. Christmas was Our Lord's birth -- but nothing fundamental happened then. He went from a pre-natal Human Being (God and man), to a born Human Being (God and man). On the Annunciation however, He really became fundamentally a Priest.

There are plenty of "Resistance-esque" priests totally independent, doing their own thing, not working with or speaking to any of the bishops. Others might be on good terms with the bishops, but speak with any of them rarely.

But running your own Jonestown cult where the will of the Leader is supreme, complete with a "magisterium" of sorts, from which come all sorts of proclamations, condemnations and excommunications -- that is a whole different kettle of fish.
