This is from Binx at IA

Sunday's high mass in Winona was celebrated by the newly ordained, Fr. Reuter, who chose Fr. Hewko to deliver the sermon. And what a sermon it was. I did not take notes, so I'm going from memory only, but I'll try to hit some highlights.

In keeping with the tone established by Bp. Tissier de Malerais in his ordination sermon, Fr. Hewko made a passionate argument for the uncompromising fight that must define the true priest's life.

Over and over and over again, he quoted from Abp. Lefebvre, who warned emphatically against trying to "deal" with modernist Rome.

Fr. Hewko was unabashed in his attack of those who propose to us that Rome has started to return to Tradition. He went through some of the litany of headlines that Berengaria often posts on IA to illustrate just how disingenuous Rome's overtures to Tradition really are.

He warned against anyone who would try to tell us that the docuмents of Vatican II were merely misinterpreted and not intrinsically flawed.

He warned his fellow priests against being silenced by the obedience card. Specifically, he made mention of a situation, not too many years ago (hint: after VII), when Roman Catholic priests were obedient at precisely the moment they should not have been obedient. He said that leaders should not be obeyed when they jeopardize the true faith.

He also went, one by one, through the end results of those traditionalist groups who have made "deals" with Rome in the past. His basic theme in this section was to emphasize how each of these groups has been "immobilized" by their new master.

All in all, Fr. Hewko was at least as forceful (if not as simple) as Bp. Tissier, and most certainly of the same mind.

The sermon was long, very long, though I do not have a good estimate because I was engrossed (and amazed). Maybe 45 minutes (or more). There were several hundred faithful, a few sisters, and maybe 15 or 20 priests present. [On a side note, Fr. Pfeiffer was there, sitting in the same section as the other priests, though he did not process in with his brothers (he was there long before mass started) and sat many seats removed from them.]

Thank you for posting! Fr. Hewko is truly brave and holy. He has been preaching this way for several weeks now in upstate NY. I was just afraid to mention his name. But now that Bp. Tissier himself is telling the priests NOT to be softliners and to preach the truth will full force, well now Fr. Rostand can no longer silence the priests in his district. Haha! Sock it to you Menzingen! :boxer:

Father Hewko is a very holy priest.  He was the very first priest I ever heard when I began to attend Mass at an SSPX chapel.  My family is truly blessed to have him as one of our priests.  He has been very vocal about this agreement for quite some time now, and our family is praying very hard for him so that he is not quietly sent away.  Some of his sermons are available on tape.  Last week this information was printed in our bulletin.  I have not yet gotten these tapes but am hoping to do so.  

Father Hewko is greatly loved by so many people, both young and old.  Our oldest 3 boys really admire him.  He is quite an athlete, very sincere, friendly, warm, and encouraging.  He is incredibly insightful and his counsel is clear and wise.  Last week, he quizzed our boys for Confirmation.  He spent a lot of time with them.  My boys went in nervous and anxious and came out smiling and laughing with Father Hewko!  This is the effect he has on people.  You may be confused and worried and he can sense it. Yet, he is so gentle and calm when he gives direction and instruction.  When you walk away from him, you see things much more clearly and your heart is happy.   :dancing:

I wish we had more priests like Father Hewko!

He is an amazing priest.  I am glad you got to meet him!  

What a beautiful defense of the Faith!  But, what is even more inspiring is that it is clear Fr. Reuter is of the same mind.  What courage and piety for a newly ordained priest to put aside all human respect and thought of his own wellbeing and have this sermon given by Fr. Hewko.  We definitely ought to add him to our prayers as well.
