Well, had I known CtK was doing the same, I wouldn't have bothered, but here's my transcript fwiw. : )
[inaudible beginning] And so I consider having – this as my 2nd visit here – having met all of you. I know each one of you. And so I can see (pointing at his chest), you’re in the right place. So, we will consider – sometimes you have to deal with the pirates that take over the ship, except the captain of the ship is one of the pirates now. We will consider the seminary canonically erected, and, uh, you don’t have to worry about that. It’s just a canonical technicality. But, in the current circuмstances, I will guarantee you one thing: anyone who has a vocation will be ordained. Because we even have more options than myself. I have two bishops, who exist in secret. And, if I disappeared tomorrow, they would pop up. And so the Blessed Mother always has alternatives for you. So, no one should get worried here and leave because of who’s going to ordain us. We’re praying that Bishop Williamson and Bishop Faure will cooperate and be good bishops. Promote the true Faith. But just to show you in an extreme necessity the Blessed Mother can be creative and resourceful. It is sad that under the present circuмstances we have you relying on the likes of me to come forward to help you. But, for better or worse, I am here, and my attitude is, if you can put up with me [inaudible] don’t worry about it. So, pray for me. I’m praying for you. I don’t want to leave today. I wanted to stay, but I have to take care of my [principle?] responsibilities and so I’ll probably be coming and going and that way -- it’s like when you go in the gym, you lift the physical resistance and then the muscles hurt and you have to let them recuperate, and build back up, then you go, you skip a day, right? So, I’ll come for a week or so and then I’ll let you recuperate from me and then I’ll come back. And, we’ll keep doing that, and you’ll just build up and be strong.
(He moves back to the altar here. No Sign of the Cross to officially end the sermon. He turns half around and says something close to, “We even have the Creed today.” He turns to the altar briefly as if to resume Mass. Then, he turns back around to face the attendees and continues…)
They accused me of leaving out the Creed when I celebrated the Sunday Mass. There are nasty people out there; they don’t even know what they’re talking about. I did not leave out the Creed and I know that because the choir sang it. And I remember genuflecting. And then I went down and sat down. And so I, I know these things. I mean I’m not senile yet.
(He turns back toward the altar, bows, and resumes “Mass”.)
This would be hilarious if souls weren't at stake. Ambrose and the "Pope in Red" website should swap tall tales and charge an audience admission for doing so. As far as I'm concerned, neither Fr. Pfeiffer nor Fr. Hewko are fit to offer a public Mass at this point. I don't know whether the appropriate terminology is schism, heresy, or something else, but if Ambrose is the fraud many here (including myself) believe he is, then Fr. Pfeiffer & Fr. Hewko are outside the Church for the nature of their association with him, having him say Mass, promoting him, etc.
Even if I turn out to be wrong about Ambrose being a fraud, Fr. Pfeiffer & Fr. Hewko are taking the situation much too lightly & are proceeding too fast & recklessly, which, though not placing them outside the Church, demonstrates an exercise of deplorable poor judgment unbecoming a priest, and I would think it inadvisable to attend their Masses. They are trying to recklessly pass Ambrose off as legitimate to advance their own grandeur--not for the glory of God--not for providing priests for God's Church--but because Fr. Pfeiffer is the center of his own universe and wants his--Fr. Pfeiffer's--seminary to be a hit & stoke his ego, and probably has his sights unwaveringly set on being concecrated himself.
For those of you who may be going light on Fr. Hewko, he is either all for pushing the same agenda as Fr. Pfeiffer, or he is culpably timid in the face dire error. Either way, the right course of action is for him to renounce Ambrose and disassociate from Fr. Pfeiffer's (and his alter ego Pablo) foolhardy self-grandiosing endeavors.
It saddens me to see that Fr. Pfeiffer's endeavors have come to this. I had such very high hopes for him in the beginning. When Pablo emerged on CI (what--maybe 2 1/2 years ago) I was in denial that Fr. Pfeiffer could possibly be aware of what a madman he had in his circle. But I finally had to acknowledge that in fact he was aware of Pablo's antics and accepted them--I lost a tremendous amount of respect at that point. My heart sank more when I learned how they were treating +Williamson. And now, after all of that, he has sought out (via Pablo, I have no doubt) this fraudulent charlatan.
At this point, Fr. Pfeiffer's actions are more reminiscent of Luther or Henry VIII, than a good holy Catholic priest cleaving to tradition.
