There are a
couple of errors here:
Postggreg: One does not need to attack the resistance. Simply wait for Fr. Pfeiffer to say something crackers and the whole thing begins to lose credibility.
I see. "(S)omething crackers," says greg. So, when Fr. Pfeiffer lends possible credence to the story that Card. Ratzinger attended an event, (a black mass) at which a child was sacrificed, this indicates that he has gone over the edge, thus showing all who will listen, that Fr. Pfeiffer is not to be trusted, much less followed.
Fr. Pfeiffer didn't say "black mass" but rather a ritual child sacrifice -- it sounds like he's talking about the Bohemian Grove effigy of Moloch that is held annually with lots of security and restricted entry, a place where they say all our recent presidents have attended since around WWI or so -- that if you don't go there, you won't be elected president. The implication seems to be that if you don't go there you won't be elected pope -- but Fr. did not SAY that, I'm speculating here (there is nothing about any of the other popes going to Bohemian Grove, and curiously, some think that Ratzinger has been the only VALID pope since erstwhile Cardinal Siri, after Pius XII!)
Also, when a priest talks like this from the pulpit and especially when he knows he's being recorded for all the world to hear, it's more than "possible credence." There is a pretty serious issue with credibility. This could be actionable by legal means, if it is not true, but even if there is no evidence for it. He said in a couple of weeks this will be reported by someone -- what if it doesn't get reported? Then Fr. Pfeiffer has taken a pretty big risk, I would think.
I guess that's what greg is driving at, right, greg?
Greg, will you go on record to deny that Ratzinger was ever present at, or participated in one of these dark ceremonies? I want you [to] declare openly to all the members of the forum that you are certain beyond any shadow of doubt that he never was; and that even to consider or think for a moment, that the cardinal might have witnessed one of these events is totally crazy. [And that] There is absolutely no possibility that alleged "eyewitnesses" may be telling the truth. How about it, son.
It isn't incuмbent on a questioner (ggreg) to prove he's correct in doubting the veracity of the original accusation about erstwhile Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger. The burden of proof is on the speaker (Fr. Pfeiffer) to show evidence of what he's saying.
I'm not sure what to make of this whole thing, but it's drawing some pretty bad attention to the Resistance, and ggreg could be correct that the Resistance will suffer for many years because of this. As bad as other groups might act from time to time, I haven't seen the SSPX or Newchurch or sedevacantists or Orthodox or anyone else accusing Resistance priests of ritual child sacrifice. Also, Fr. P. mentions as a source Fr. Malachi Martin in his claim that a black mass was held in two places (Rome and America) at the same time to accomplish a particular purpose with the devil. That is not the same topic as the Ratzinger accusation, however.
We should have a transcript of the 24-26 minute segment. Otherwise, it's a pretty good sermon, and as usual, has a lot of strong points, things you won't hear in any diocese sermon.
