Nice Try, Mr. McCall!

Nice Try, Mr. McCall!

By Fr. Pierre Roy 1/23/18 French Original Here [Note: Sodalitium Pianum does not support Fr. Roy’s ‘non-una cum’ position, but this particular article is excellent.  It was translated from the original French by DeepL, which is a much better utility than Google Translate, and then tweaked afterwards.  As such it will not be perfect.]  …

Accordists: Saying Everything and its Opposite

Accordists: Saying Everything and its Opposite

Fr. Paul Robinson, SSPX   A few days ago, FSSPX/News published another accordist apologetic by Fr. Paul Robinson, the central premise of which was this: Those Resistance people who claim Archbishop Lefebvre changed his posture towards Rome after the 1988 episcopal consecrations, and thereafter refused to consider a practical accord with unconverted Rome, are thereby impugning the…

Rome’s New Secret Weapon

Rome’s New Secret Weapon

  (Steering a course between Scylla and Charybdis) by Sean Johnson 1/2/18   Introduction:  More and more, SSPXers are found lamenting the “missed opportunity” 2012 represented for a practical accord with modernist Rome.  Like a young man reminiscing about his childhood sweetheart, and wondering what might have been, these sentimental “traditionalists” still feel the pangs…

Resistance Growing Everywhere

Resistance Growing Everywhere

Resistance Growing Evereywhere By Sean Johnson 12/16/17   The beleaguered Resistance faithful have patiently persevered these last seven years amidst very difficult circumstances: Infighting (some of it manufactured by those both inside and outside the Resistance); defections; apathy; hopelessness; the silence of SSPX clergy; a tremendous shortage of Resistance priests; the siren song of sedevacantism;…

A Writer Worth Following: Mikaël

A Writer Worth Following: Mikaël

“Fidélité Catholique Francophone” is the name of the French Resistance Forum, and among several notable writers, there is a French-speaking Swiss who goes by the username “Mikaël” whose thoughts are worth reading.  Any given post he writes is likely to yield something of value, and he seems to be not only well-informed, but also intelligent in…

Following the SSPX No Matter What

Following the SSPX No Matter What

If you haven’t checked out Samuel Loeman’s newly revamped Tradidi website yet, now would be a good time to do it: He has just translated a short article from Gloria.tv titled Is the Prelature Close?, which explains why most SSPX clergy and faithful will stay right where they are, no matter what Rome or Menzingen do next. A choice…

Pfeifferites Tell Archbishop Lefebvre to Get Lost!

Pfeifferites Tell Archbishop Lefebvre to Get Lost!

I plan to bump this post every couple months, as it shows quite nicely the contradiction between Fr. Pfeiffer and the Sect, and Archbishop Lefebvre in the matter of the transmission of sanctifying grace to well disposed Novus Ordo communicants. You can follow Fr. Pfeiffer, or you can follow Archbishop Lefebvre, but you can’t follow…

The Resistance and Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

The Resistance and Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

The Resistance and Self-Fulfilling Prophecy by Sean Johnson 11/8/17   A couple weeks ago, I introduced the idea of “self-fulfilling prophecy” in relation to Bishop Williamson’s discouraging and defeatist counsel in a recent Eleison Comments, stating my belief that: To take the completely defensive and fatalistic posture His Excellency is advocating is to GUARANTEE defeat;…

An Apology Paired With a Non-Retraction

An Apology Paired With a Non-Retraction

A couple weeks ago, I vented my frustration with what I perceived to be the continuous demoralizing, fatalistic, and counterproductive messages contained in the writings and conferences of Bishop Williamson, and the negative impact I believe they are having on the growth of the Resistance (or any prospect of rebuilding the Church and Christian society).…

(Fictitious) Open Letter of All SSPX Priests to Bishop Fellay

(Fictitious) Open Letter of All SSPX Priests to Bishop Fellay

Having read Bishop Fellay’s subversive Cor Unum letter of June/2017, we noted not a single voice of opposition from the 600+ priests of the SSPX dispersed throughout the world.  Even so recently as six years ago, such a letter would have caused such a firestorm within the Society, that Bishop Fellay’s survival of the forthcoming…

Capuchins of Morgon: An Insider’s Report

Fr. Francois Chazal was recently in Morgon, and gave this short response to some questions I had asked regarding the Capuchins’ current orientation: “What can I say? I got red carpet treatment, unlike three years ago, when I could not come inside… Their book is pretty good, and reflects our own position, and they are…
