Update: Fr. Vassal and the SSPX chapel Immaculate Conception Academy ICA in Post Falls, ID is now involved in a huge Sodomy scandal:
http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php/Sodomy-Scandal-in-Post-Falls-ID-SSPX-Immaculate-Conception-Academy

Did anyone else see this from another website? It would be good if someone could verify it. This Bishop was installed in mid-December in Boise, Idaho.

"I just received an email describing that while Fr. Pfeiffer was in Post Falls today and giving a Q&A conference after the Mass, one of the people there stated that Fr. William Kimball of the SSPX Post Falls Priory went on assignment to the Dioceses of Boise to represent the SSPX and support the new installation of the new Novus Ordo Bishop Peter F. Christensen; who came from the Diocese of Superior, Wisconsin, U.S.A.

See also the humanistic contents of his former Diocesan website here.

Aggiornamento (update for Vatican II) all over again...

Additionally as reported, the SSPX Post Falls Prior, Fr. Vassal, is to meet with the new Bishop Christensen at the local Post Falls FSSP chapel. Collaborated with one of Fr. Vassal's recent sermons was given in dedication to the support of the new Bishop of Boise."

Yes, something like this should be verified before posting.

I saw these pictures, also, but like you I don't know what he looks like either.

I don't think he would have had an active role in the ceremony but more like a representative or that's my assumption from what this "report" said. I was hoping that someone from Post Falls would chime in and verify this.

Wow…Coronation style vestments and a puny cream colored mitre to boot…how…Episcopalian???
Sorry, I had to take a jab at this Novus Ordo "new bishop" after looking at the pictures on the website link. Even if you can get past the heretical nature of this "episcopal installment" (gasp!), the view of the pictures, of a man, who claims to be a "Catholic" bishop, is such a "sight" to behold…and we're not talking about "heavenly" sights either. I'm kind of anxious to see if he's hiding a 1979 BCP under that tiny white mitre of his. And to think that the SSPX would send someone to such a spectacle as a representative. I'm speechless.
:cussing:

Just three days before the installation ceremony, on Sunday, December 14th Fr. Vassal, for the occasion of the appointment of this new bishop of Boise, gave a sermon at Immaculate Conception Church about the duties and authority of the bishop of a diocese. He also discussed the relations of the SSPX to diocesan bishops and his relationship with this ordinary. He said that he's had no contact with him and has no intention to contact him, unless instructed to by his superior. It seemed that he was trying to give the impression of them (SSPX, ICC) keeping a safe distance from the bishop, but in the same sermon, indirectly, allowing that there may be some upcoming communication with them. Funny thing, he didn't mention that he was sending one of his charges to said installation ceremony.
I just saw that Machabees on a Cor-Mariae post says "Additionally as reported, the SSPX Post Falls Prior, Fr. Vassal, is to meet with the new Bishop Christensen at the local Post Falls FSSP chapel. Collaborated with one of Fr. Vassal's recent sermons was given in dedication to the support of the new Bishop of Boise." Although I'm not sure what the "Collaborated with one of Fr. Vassal's recent sermons" part means, though (did she mean corroborated?). "The local Post Falls FSSP" chapel would be St. Joan of Arc in Coeur d'Alene, I'm guessing.

You mean there is a better way to deal with a rumor than to take it and spread it farther on the Internet?! :shocked:

It is true. No doubt. Believe me if you will.

Fr. Kimball certainly went.

Are you the same Augustinus of Rorate Caeli? If so, you should know. You "conservatives" really know your ilk's activities.

Thank you for this information. I'm glad that you pointed out that the bishop would be coming to the FSSP chapel and not the FSSPX. I missed that and it's an important distinction. However, this whole new direction of the Society seems to have a strong tail wind behind it. Like Vatican II, the laity never asked for this new direction but will be carried away with its force. Not all of us, however.

I used to serve for awhile at the FSSP chapel in Coeur d'Alene, St. Joan's. At the same time, we were in attendance at the SSPX chapel in Post Falls, and I was a sacristan there, as well. Fr. Vassal knew about this dual arrangement because we told him about it openly. He did not object then. Only when he discovered later that I had written some rather critical things about Bp. Fellay did he react. I was expelled from the sacristy shortly thereafter. That expulsion was followed up by a few negative words directed towards me from Fr. Rostand in a talk he gave at ICC. He meant to embarrass me in front of a very pro-Fellay assembly of the ICC faithful. It didn't work, of course. Fr. R does not do sarcasm very effectively. In fact, he does so little effectively that he was finally called back to France.
If the new bishop of Boise is going to St. Joan's, it will probably be a first. Fr. Casavantes, who used to be the pastor at St. Joan's told me that the Boise bishop never set foot in that chapel, and that when yearly confirmations were conducted, the latter appointed one of the FSSP priests as his deputy to act in his stead.
If Fr. Kimball was at the installation ceremony for the new bishop, he was not present in any of the photos that I saw. I know Fr. Kimball, and of course, I know what he looks like.

This is very strange and perhaps off topic, maybe it deserves its own thread, but how is it that an attendee of the FSSP (especially as involved as yourself) comes to support the resistance? I know of others who attack the SSPX in the name of the resistance and then publicly support the FSSP. I just cannot seem to make sense of the position, especially considering what sell-outs and traitors and compromisers are the FSSP priests who are setting up parishes next door to the SSPX instead of going where there is no Mass in the same way that Target sets up beside Walmart insted of going where there are no retail stores. I think that if Ecclesia Dei group attendees want to support the resistance they should start by denouncing the traitors in the FSSP, and I mean that most firmly.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but maybe rehearsing the chronology of events may help. We started going to sspx in 2001 or 02. I was a sacristan at ICC from roughly 2009 to 2013. Our enthusiasm began to taper off for the Society in the wake of some previous events. We began associating with FSSP around 2012-13. We left the Society around the end of 2012, I think. Thereafter, the "Resistance" appeared on the horizon. We went to that for almost two years. Then we left, because Fr. Pfeiffer seemed to insist that any member of the PF chapel be a part of the sspx-mc. We said "no way." Since that time we've been meeting independently
