"Wherever our brethren may be, let their first care be for those already converted. Their first aim must be to strengthen these in the faith and to help them save their souls. After this they may convert others not yet baptized. But let them proceed prudently and not undertake more than they can carry through. It is not desirable for them to hurry here and there to convert heathen with whom they cannot afterwards keep in touch. It is better to advance step by step and consolidate conquests already made. . . . They are not to risk their lives unnecessarily in excursions among unconquered people. The swift loss of life in God’s service may be advantageous for them. However, it is not for the greater good of the many for there are only a few laborers for the vineyard and it is difficult to replace them.”

This quote contradicts the SSPX-KY obsession with chasing after sheep wallowing in the pigpen while leaving those in the sheepfold to fend for themselves.

As well as certain self styled "media moguls" who think they are specially called to work among prostitutes, even though they are A) male B) single and C) a layman.

I disagree. Although I'm sorry that they are spreading themselves too thin, how can they just ignore the call of those who know the SSPX is on it's way to conciliar Rome. They are bringing the sacraments to those who call upon them. How can they refuse.

From Maria's quote, wouldn't it be logical that anyone of the resistance priest set up camp where there are the most souls to attend to in one given area? Just saying I doubt that would be Texas. No offense.

They can't refuse the FAITHFUL. But to ignore the needs of the faithful in pursuit of worldly aspirations with those who do not profess the Catholic Faith...it's wrong. And how can you criticize the SSPX for doing it if you are doing it?

What I'm I doing that the SSPX is doing?
