Since that’s all there is, in my neck of the woods, I make myself scarce; so scarce so as to bypass social media. I don’t use it at all, never have. If I’m a stranger who sometimes comes to Mass, who keeps to herself, who doesn’t stick around, there’s nothing for anyone to post on social media. When there’s nothing gossip worthy, there’s no gossip.
Better to have no friends than friends of the wrong sort. 

I understand your position. Just go to Mass and avoid the drama. I don’t care what Mass others go to as long as they’re not nasty and cliquey and gossipy. But in the light of the vile stuff that’s happening in the world this pales into insignificance….

Archbishop Lefebvre was a holy man.

He consecrated Bishops against the wishes of Rome. That was a good thing.

He then said never to deal with them as long as they have not rejected Vatican II. Also a good thing.

Greg Taylor is a man who may seem nice on the outside but theologically he can't even make a difference between a valid Mass and a licit Mass (other people, not just me, tried and fail to explain to him the difference). There is a reason why I want a Resistance bishop to sign off on my articles if I write any. I tried to talk to them last October, but nope, to no avail. They later said I misrepresented them in the thread (didn't say how) and couldn't actually answer the rebuttals to supposed "six points" they have against Bp. Williamson. And when they run out of arguments, they just create more "points" where Bp. Williamson supposedly "fell into grave error" and they need to correct the world. Whatever.

They want a bishop that submits to laymen, specifically the publications of Greg Taylor. Otherwise, the bishop is wrong and has lost the Faith. And anyone who doesn't have a YouTube channel ranting about "the errors of Bp. Williamson" isn't doing the maximum for Christ and will therefore be condemned to hell for silence. When you press them on "do you truly believe you are the last remnant" they'll recoil and deny that they ever said that, only for Fr. Hewko to call everyone else "Fake" Resistance in their next sermon and say the "silent" bishops will go to hell.

I've dealt with narcissists in my life a lot and the one thing I can tell you is that narcissists are always right in their own mind. Even if you disprove them to their face, they do not accept logic. You'll just be a "Fake Resistance defender" and so on and so forth. A literal micro-cult, sad but it is what it is.

The only last thing I could try is to mail that thread to Fr. Hewko to clear him up about his own errors. But I don't think it will do much, it'll just be "pro forma". I'm not sure it's even my job, but whatever. I had other things to do these last months, like working and praying for example. It seems many of these people just have too much time on their hands, especially the older and retired ones.

And yes, we should fight them because they are few and they cause a lot of harm - they say they are "Resistance" but they are just their own cult riding off the branding of hating Bp. Williamson. It only takes one comment under each one of their videos to keep another person from getting more involved in their cult. That's why they constantly have to come here to spam their videos, because they'd seem crazy to anyone else. Remember, many people are just reading and scrolling, not actively posting, getting affected by the out-of-context clips they post.

In the end, remember: Monks tried to poison Saint Benedict, Saint Francis of Assisi was expelled from his own order, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux was not seen as a saint by many of her sisters. In the end, in the final end, these detractors usually don't fare well. There are certain things that we have to be strict and vigilant about, like not compromising with the modernists in Rome, caring about getting valid sacraments, caring about not falling into sin ourselves due to laxity. Then there are things which are not dogma, whether the pope is or isn't pope, whether Bp. Williamson said or didn't say something 10 years ago, whether Fr. X or Y did this or that. There are many people online who try to slander and attack and divide, in order to confuse people so they go "well these people are divided, so therefore they are schismatics". They'll get their pay from God one day. While it's not our fault if people create rumors, gossip and division, we need to start praying 3 rosaries per day, one rosary seems to be not enough.

I wouldn’t go to Greg’s group as I don’t agree Fr H is the only valid priest in the world as they seem to think. I don’t know what their issue is with the late BpW. I think the Hewko resistance and the BpW resistance conflict is a sign that these splinter groups don’t produce good fruits. There are obviously very lovely and devout individuals within these groups, on this forum as well, but despite the failings of the Church and the crisis I think we Catholics should remain within the church. The SSPX leadership seems to realise this now, though the diocesan Latin masses if you can get to one have more balanced people and more of a parish community.

Crazy posts on here about women and about ballet being immoral 🤣😳and indications of cult like mindset shows what happens when Catholics develop a Protestant puritanical mentality and leave the Catholic Church to form splinter groups. 
I do feel Bp W was well meaning and incredibly intelligent (academic not street smart/prudent) but he would have done far more good had he quit his online comments and not forced the SSPX to expel him. Plus the remark on German TV was very imprudent. Of course it’s easy to say this with hindsight. I’m going to take a break from this forum for a while. God bless.

There is a quote in scripture somewhere about how a corrupt society is one where women rule over it.

Your post here reminds me of that
