A couple weeks ago, I observed that the external resistance is now as opposed to the internal (i.e., "wait and see") resistance as it is to the accordistas and Menzingen.
One need only read the responses to my posts of recent weeks to see that claim is undeniable.
I found that to be quite ironic.
Since then, I have noticed a couple other ironies (which may or may not be specific to the St. Paul, MN resistance group, or not):
1) While lamenting the retaliatory measures they have received from Menzingen or Kansas City for voicing unpopular opinions about the emperor's new clothes, I received the same treatment from them by being removed from the local email notification for resistance Masses for voicing opinions not popular in Boston, KY (or St. Paul, not sure which).
In other words, please don't show up.
2) Can't pretend the AFD is official policy? Can't pretend the SSPX has the same official policy as the FSSP? Can't pretend this means you can't attend SSPX Masses? Can't pretend Bishop Fellay believes BXVI is the Pope and wants to start a schism to back him against Francis? Minimally, you can't dishonestly turn a blind eye to all this, or at least let it pass without comment?
Well, then you can't come to Mass here!
Sounds like very familiar rhetoric from the accordistas, does it not?
3) The SSPX is a danger to your faith, so you can't attend...........so we will just go the FSSP??? Nobody sees anything wrong with that? But that is precisely what several who have taken Fr. Pfeiffer's advice have done here in St. Paul. They won't step foot inside an SSPX chapel now, but have no issue frequenting priests questionably ordained by "Bishops" consecrated in the new rite, or who are bi-ritual, and who have no problem with Dignitatis Humanae, the hermeneutic of continuity, etc., etc. It is the height of irony to me that fidelity to the resistance party line, or dislike of Menzingen/Kansas City, results in packing the pews of the indult.
I find there are very few honest people left in the world.
Most (resistance or accordista) simply pick a side and defend it to the end.
Even when it should not be defended.
And if you should happen to mention or point out inconvenient truths which "hurt the cause," well, in the words of Fr. Rutledge, "Just go away."
I think the methods of the opposing parties have much in common with eachother.
