  • Comment changer cela?

    «C’est avant tout, je pense, le rôle des prêtres. Nous ne travaillons pas pour nous. Mais pour la formation des futurs prêtres, pour la gloire de Dieu et pour le rayonnement de l’Église. Vous savez, j’ai rencontré de nombreux protestants ici; si vous connaissiez leur attente… Nombre d’entre eux m’ont ainsi confié leur espoir de nous voir bientôt célébrer nos offices ici, et quelques-uns m’ont même dit attendre cet événement pour faire le point sur leur propre  conversion. Alors parfois, c’est vrai, il y a des réticences étonnantes…»

    Le pasteur protestant, Joe Chambers, qui est aussi le supervisor local, à mi-chemin entre le maire et le député, appuie cette observation: «Nous sommes heureux de voir arriver ici ces prêtres catholiques. Ce sont des hommes de Dieu, visiblement.»

    Et ce séminaire?

    «C’est un bon projet, beaucoup de valeur. Un bon rayonnement d’un point de vue économique c’est certain, mais spirituel surtout. C’est un projet fantastique: je les aiderai autant que je peux.»
    ________________

    How to change this?

    "That's all, I think, the role of the priests. We do not work for us. But for the formation of the future priests, for the glory of God and the influence of the Church. You know, I met many Protestants here; if you know their expectations... Many of them have told me and their hope that soon we celebrate our offices here, and some have even told me to wait this event to take stock of their own conversion. So sometimes, it's true, there are amazing reluctance..."

    The Protestant pastor, Joe Chambers, who is also the local supervisor, halfway between the mayor and the deputy, supports this observation: "We are glad to see these Catholic priests here. These are men of God, obviously."

    And this seminary?
    "This is a good project, a lot of value. A good radiation from an economic point of view this is certain, but especially spiritual. This is a fantastic project: I will help as much as I can."

  • These speculations betray just how internalized is their acceptance of VII and the NO.

    I really wish they would take their own advice and stop running the course of the SSPX on speculations of what so-and-so told them and stick to the facts. The facts are that Rome has not changed and has confirmed that beyond question with the latest conclave.  

    The only thing Rome/NO may have changed is their approach to the SSPX, trying to be friendly. But as long as they deny the reason for the SSPX's existence, it's all a superficial friendship. They want traditionalists, but traditionalists without teeth, traditionalists who are not a threat to VII, therefore not traditionalists at all.

    Because I believe for these priests the Society is their home wherever it ends up! The institution is more important than the faith! I guess the leadership decided that the market for its product would come from the conservative side of the conciliar church once a deal was struck. This investment will not be allowed to fail even if it pulls kids off streets.


    The seminary project looks like a disaster case study from a Business 101 class:  

    Ever businessman knows you never allow the accountant (bursar) to lead the corporation's marketing strategy.   It's common sense.

    Big business decision failures typically happen when a company does not have the correct checks & balances built into their organization.

    Bp. Fellay may be good at managing money, but did he consult with the Holy Ghost on his strategy to evangelize newChurch ?

    Whoever led Msgr. Fellay to this scheme was deceiving him. He bet the "SSPX farm" on a conciliar "New-Springtime" fantasy plan.


    Yes, and adding to this, that now the SSPX leaders will also be in a large financial debt in following this "fantasy", if not by the cost of building the new seminary (remember Bishop Fellay did receive the millions of dollars from the philanthropist banker), that the seminary will also hold a large dept of maintenance cost(s) to run that place and to keep up the grounds...who is going to pay for that.

    So when you run a business, it's the operational costs that are the make it or break it for survival.


    They'll have to hike up the cost of seminary training...it will probably double or triple!

    (that picture is nauseatingly corny by the way....)

  • Spoke to some friends who where there.  They said they thought there were less than 200 people in attendance. It was a very impressive event but everyone expected a much, much, larger turn out.

    Did anyone else hear any feedback?  I didn't see any photos of large crowds on the Internet.

       What'd you say the name of the of your seminary was again Father ?
    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

    Now, if we could start off with kids like this, Incred, the Society would get back some real character! Instead, you will be getting (French) mummies' boys, mechanical liturgical technicians and canny careerists. Now, that is a large population to draw on. With finance coming from Rothschild sources, image the kudos attached to one's resume; if not trad revivalism, certainly revolutionary Wall Street trading ....... I  never thought there was a connection! The future is just pregnant with possibilities!

  • This OP by Ekim is pretty good, really.  Congrats to you, Ekim!  

    I have a few observations, based in the understanding that +Fellay is now
    practicing, due to his compliance with the hermeneutic-of-continuity-principle-
    of-B16 -- which B.F. is hanging onto by the skin of his teeth:


    Quote from: Ekim
    Our Priest was at the laying of the corner stone for the new Seminary.  Yesterday he gave very brief highlights.

    1)    Bishop Fellay stated that if the Archbishop did not have the courage to
    Consecrate Bishops in 1988 the Traditional Latin Mass would be dead.




    Seen in the continuity of current thinking, which is based on tradition (why?
    because we say it is!) the Latin Mass dying wouldn't be such a terrible thing,
    because time moves on -- however, this outlook in the light of tradition tells
    us that the Latin Mass can be appreciated for what it was, kind of like a display
    in a museum appreciates what once was but is no more except for its memory.



    Quote
    2)   Because of negotiations with Rome by the SSPX, the Traditional Mass was freed By BXVI.  Now there are over 200 Novus Ordo Bishops who say the Latin Mass.  




    Of course, whether they "say the Traditional Mass" the way it was said in 1954
    or 1917 or 1864 or 1776 or 1571 is neither here nor there.  Let them say it
    as it was during the abominable Vat.II, for example, according to the Mass
    of John XXIII in 1962.  Or, as it was in the Transitional Rite of 1967 - you know,
    the one that Padre Pio was physically unable to say when ordered to under
    "STRICT OBEDIENCE" because it caused him too much unbearable pain
    (he had unbearable pain all the time anyway, but this was 'too much'
    unbearable pain).



    Quote
    3)   Many of these Bishops have contacted the SSPX saying that once they are recognized by Rome they would like to have their seminarians trained by the  SSPX.




    So the Modernists would like to have their young recruits accepted into the
    traditional seminary, so they can bring their lack of preparation with them to
    perhaps share their ignorance with the traditional students, and the traditional
    students can share their knowledge with the Modernists' recruits who are so
    proud of their know-nothing-ism.  The new and the old with the old and the
    new and everyone is happy!  Why?  Because we say "They Are Happy."  It's
    not WHAT you know but WHO you know.

    The boys who have been slow-cooked in the principle of "pastoral sensitivity"
    such that they would not even have been ELIGIBLE for seminary if they were
    found to be unwilling to work side-by-side with fαɢs, or else BE fαɢs themselves,
    are going to be thrown into the mix with the boys whose upbringing has
    been consistently unaccepting of the Sin of Sodom, and any of its pomps
    and innuendos.  Are you ready for some "issues" to come up?  For example,
    any of the boys who learn to be UNWILLING to "work with fαɢs" -- upon their
    return to their home diocese, will therefor be unacceptable to the bishop who
    sent them, because he isn't going to "throw out the fαɢs" in his diocese, nor
    is he going to appreciate having this new "INTOLERANCE!!" spreading among
    his priests.



    Quote
    Although our priest didn’t say this, it is hypothesized that the reason for  building such a monster seminary is b/c +Fellay is anticipating a union with apostate Rome. If each one of these Bishops sends five Seminarians, which is not an unreasonable number, the SSPX could get 1000 seminarians from these Novus Ordo Bishops.  




    If the new Virginia seminary gets 1000 seminarians, all of whom are eager
    to be accommodating to Sodomites (if not practicing Sodomites themselves)
    then how long do you suppose this unnatural vice will take to spread to the
    rest of the seminarians who came from the Winona sourcing of vocations?



    Quote
    It is also hypothesized that 1000 new traditional priests a year, spread all around the world, would breathe new life into the Church like it has not seen in at least half a century.  This new diocese would then help fund this seminary so all the bills would be paid.




    Someone didn't read the previous paragraph, apparently.



    Quote
    Two points don’t add up.  1) If these Bishops are so inspired by their new found Catholic Tradition, why don’t they start teaching this in their seminaries now or simply send their candidates for ordination to an Fraternity of St. Peter seminary?  




    It should be obvious that  A)  they don't 'start teaching this' in their own
    seminaries because they don't have any professors who know "IT."  They
    threw out the textbooks 50 years ago, and even the books they have that
    were copyright 1925 are "full of it" because Modernism was creeping back
    in at that time just as Pope St. Pius X said that it would.  But even if they
    DID have the professors and the books,  B)  It would presume that their
    objective is for their seminarians to LEARN IT.  How can you be so sure?
    How is it, for example, you come to believe that these Bishops are NOT so
    enthusiastic about this plan because they are eager to watch the invasion
    of the sin of Sodom into traditional seminaries, like it happened in the Pink
    Palace
    of St. John's Camarillo, California, under Roger Cardinal Mahony?



    Quote
    2) Does +Fellay not realize that the end never justifies the means?




    This is a good one.  We have a function machine here, called 'the-hermeneutic-
    of-continuity-function-machine,
    which is a black box with an IN port and an
    OUT port.  Something goes in the IN port, and when it comes out the OUT
    port, it has been "processed" by the function machine.  

    And in this machine, which +F has gone through (when? it's anyone's guess,
    but it could have been 28 years ago for all we know), the person gets
    processed to accept the teachings of Vat.II in the light of tradition, and to
    accept the teachings of Vat.II in the light of Vat.II; also, the traditional
    teachings of the traditional Church are understood according to the unclean
    spirit of Vat.II, and according to their own standard, but in such a way that
    there is no rupture between the old and the new.  The new is understood
    in the light of the old and the old is understood in the light of the new, AND
    both are understood in their own light, in and of themselves all at the same
    time and without any ADMISSION of contradiction.  

    That is, the continuity is a DE-FACTO imposition by which all must abide.

    So, into the IN port goes this principle that "The End Never Justifies The
    Means
    ," which is a good teaching -- for its time! -- and what comes out of
    the OUT port of our hermeneutic-of-continuity-function-machine?  

    Let's see here -- put this IN -- and here it comes OUT -- It says, "The Means
    To An End Is Unjustified."
     Hmm.  That sounds like a misprint.  Let's make
    an adjustment to the fine tuning knob in the back, here and see... Or, now it
    says, "In the End, the Means Is Its Own Justification."  Now, that's a little
    better, maybe here... alternatively, "That The Means Is Just-As-Fine, Never
    Ends."
    There we go.  That's the ticket!

    To demonstrate this in action, we have +F of April 2013 saying that we're still
    against the Newmass, and then we have +F of April 2012 saying We
    accept the Newmass.  He's against the Newmass in 2013 and he's in favor
    of
    the Newmass in 2012, but he doesn't retract being in favor, neither does
    he retract being against the Newmass.  That's why he can say "I am against
    the Council!" -- as long as you see that in light of "I accept the Council."  He
    can also say, "I accept the Council" as long as you understand it in the light
    of Tradition
    !  In his mind, he's not contradicting himself, because he has to
    believe both.  That's why you've got the double tongue.  

    This kind of thinking is death to souls.




    Quote
    I would also note:  That like most SSPX priests these days, Our Priest did not mention the cost of such a recognition by modernist Rome.  
    [He didn't want to sound negative!]

    He did not speak of the dangers that such a compromise of the faith would have.  
    [Non Nobis Negationis!!]

    He did not mention how the Doctrinal Counter Offer of April 15, 2012 would destroy all the SSPX had stood for.  
    [Non Nobis Negationis!!]

    He only said that many of the 200 Bishops said they would like the SSPX to train their seminarians.  
    ["Let's look at the bright side!"]

    He did not say it, but he implied that this was a great thing!
    [It's all a matter of how you look at it!]




    See above!
