I still think it's poetic that Bp. Fellay was the Bursar General of the SSPX.

He basically "carried the purse, and the things that were within".

Priests being considered for "accounting duties" should be given a special silent retreat, with plenty of meditations on the fall of Judas, etc.
There's something about engrossing yourself in financial matters that causes you to have more worldly thinking about things. This is what happened to Judas.
Gods ways are not our ways.

But when you're a bursar or accountant, you are focused on things material. It's your JOB to worry about such things. The bottom line, numbers, income, expenditures, real estate values, etc.
You need to pick a real saint to fill that position!

I don't think +Fellay became liberalized because he was paying the bills. I think he either chose (or was placed) in such a role because it's an "admin role" where he would have a quicker way to become Superior General. In a small association such as the sspx, what is the quickest way to reach the top leadership? Some role where you can meet many people and become everyone's friend. Being the bookkeeper allowed +Fellay to be a politician and (eventually) squirm his way to getting the votes necessary for leadership.

The other 3 bishops were busy working, not politiking, or having meetings. It would be interesting to know who supported +Fellay staying in Econe and paying the bills. This seems like something a seminarian should be doing. Not a bishop. If you find out who supported the move, you'll find out the people who eventually supported him being the leader. You'll also find the same people who are pushing the "deal with new-rome" and all the changes since +ABL died. +Fellay didn't get where he did, alone.

So, it's well known that a certain wealthy benefactor pushed for the consecration of +Fellay in the first place ... and that he had not been one of +Lefebvre's initial selections. But I've never seen any detail regarding who these nameless benefactors had been. If one could get the details, I suspect it would uncover some interesting connections.

Les armes de Bernard Fellay publiées lors de son ordination sauvage le 30 juin 1988 qui lui avait valu une excommunication levée le 21 janvier 2009 font clairement apparaître sa devise: Spes nostra,

Bishop B. Fellay's Coat of Arms

Below: Variant published by French District.

I notice that the motto "SPES NOSTRA" , is lacking. You have to love that French humor! Maybe I'm reading too much into that, but then why two?

Pray for Bishop Fellay.
