Quote from: BJ5

Quote from: Matthew
That is when Fr. Pfeiffer was clearly rejecting the authority/leadership of a perfectly good Resistance bishop.

How is Bishop Williamson in any legitimate way, the authority or leader of Fr. Pfeiffer? He has no canonical authority and he has continually refused to be anybody's avowed leader, officially and/or unofficially. He is, at most, an independent Bishop who's issues with SSPX authority and direction mirrored those of Fr. Pfeiffer. They are not connected in any way except perhaps that Fr. Pfeiffer was formed and directly chosen for ordination by Bishop Williamson.

RED HERRING ALERT!

No one ever said Bp. Williamson has canonical authority over any Resistance priest.

The issue is that all over the world, virtually all Resistance priests acknowledge Bishop Williamson (and Bishop Faure) as good Resistant bishops, they are on good terms with both of them, etc.

There are really only two exceptions that I know of: Fr. Pfeiffer (and by extension, Fr. Hewko, though I think we all know that Fr. Hewko is just following Fr. Pfeiffer).

That is the problem. Why is Fr. Pfeiffer's tiny group the ONLY ONE that considers not only itself, but the whole Resistance to be "without a bishop"? Are there real issues with the Boston Seminary? Megalomania involved? Who knows. The specifics of the SSPX-MC's dysfunction are open for debate.

But what is NOT open for debate is that there is something very dysfunctional about Fr. Pfeiffer's operation. There are real, noticeable problem(s) there.

In summary:

1. Name one other Resistant priest (outside Boston KY) that considers itself/the Resistance to be bishop-less.
2. Name one other Resistant priest who attacks his fellow priests/bishops in the Resistance.
3. Name one other place (besides Boston, KY) where Bishop Williamson and/or Bishop Faure has refused to set foot.

With regards to #2, we've all seen ALL TOO MANY attacks coming from Fr. Pfeiffer, Pablo, Greg Taylor, etc. -- but notice they're all part of the same group.

When is the last time Fr. Morel, Fr. Zendejas, Fr. Ringrose, Fr. Girouard, or any other Resistant priest attacked someone in the Resistance?

Having a Bishop oversee and approve a seminary is important when a seminary isactually being prepared and constructed but even before that issue comes into play,
the priest's who wish do do so, need to gather the necessary resources, commitments from qualified personnel, have a basic plan of course structure, and a minimum of properly vetted and discerned candidates who will attend it.

Presenting these basic necessities to a Bishop would demonstrate the prudence, diligence, and patience of a serious commitment and I would think, impress any worthy Bishop as being an effort which is deserving of his support.

Opening the back door to the garage, carrying in a few cots, having classes when someone is not busy traveling hither and yon, and presuming upon God or His Mother to cover the shortfalls does not represent the vision and focus which would be required to form Catholic priests.

Father has spoken about his wearing the white cassock on several occasions.

Papal aspirations?

LOL

I've said several times that this reminds me of David Bawden's operation. And if ManuelChavez sees this, I once took those saying so to task. But Pfeifferville has tumbled to nothing more than a joke and has stooped to schism to affiliate with a schismatic fraud.

Were you asked by Father Pfeiffer if he should be a bishop?

I have never spoken to Fr Pfeiffer. However I would like to know what valid legitimate Catholic bishop would consecrate him?
