What does this tell us? It tells us that these folks are neither qualified or logistically capable of forming a seminary at this time. This part of the letter is the heart of the matter. The financial tomfoolery is secondary and mostly a matter of irresponsibility and ineptness.
But all we hear from these folks is "the Faith, the Faith, the Faith!"
Well where is it for the unfortunate souls who need it on the weekend, or who need the Mass? It is in someone's garage half way around the country, or half way around the world.
They have no business attempting to form priests who will be half formed and substandard even to the new formation SSPX boys. Warm bodies in cassocks with "resistance" stenciled on their backs is all that will be produced.
Father Voight is 100% correct and they are wrong.
Bishop Williamson told them at the beginning to wait, stay in the SSPX, build a network, and marshal your resources, now is not the time, but alas he was ignored and labeled a stick in the mud, who would not do his duty.
Well, H.E. was 100% correct and they were wrong.
Back to the Faith, Catholics need to hear and more importantly, to SEE the Faith in the priests who minister to their souls. They need to see examples of piety, holiness, kindness, honesty, and the burning love for God's will in their priests. That is the Catholic Faith outside of which, no one can be saved, that is what may bring them towards eternal salvation.
What they do not need is to hear about the scandals of Bishop Fellay, and explanations about questionable Bishops, confusing rhetoric mitigating the apostasy in Rome, allegations about sheep stealing, and certainly not the Boston Follies and the practices of the leader's man Friday, and now allegations of car theft.
Red Light for Boston!, and Red Light! the minute a sermon or conference drifts into the Scandalarus Nebula just mentioned. You are there to hear the Church, and to be joined to the Lord, not at all to be enlisted into this or that sect or cult.
Resistance indeed!
