As the world spins

Much has happened since I was forced by a very busy schedule to go on hiatus. 

1. Michael Voris et al completed their "attack ads" against the SSPX.  I found it amusing that (if I read correctly) all of the 'witnesses' interviewed concluded that the SSPX is not in a formal state of schism.  Funny that.  I'm going to pull together some of the highlights in a series on the 'Arrested Development' of CMTV as 'Traditional' Catholics.
2. The "resistance" clan is experiencing a little schism of its own, testimony to the need for superiors 
1. The Toronto Chapter has issued a public letter calling for Bishop Faure to take over the 'leadership' role in the "resistance" and to muzzle Bishop Williamson. 
2. The Kentucky Chapter has experienced a little schism of its own, with Fr. Voight separating himself from Fr. Pfeiffer.  One 'resistor' noted that the 'accordistas' must be laughing uncontrolably.  I would if it weren't for the fact the a number of my friends are caught up in what some 'resistors' are calling the cult of Kentucky.
3. Bishop Williamson continues to issue EC's, defending Maria Valtorta (retort here), going to the Novus Ordo Missae (nuanced to be certain but that was too much for a number of resistors).
3. The Pope is being merciful and giving the SSPX 'faculties' for confessions for the year of mercy.  This appears, from what I've read, to cause a number of people to mess themselves.
4. The Superior General of the SSPX (Bishop Fellay - for those in ignorance) issued a Petition to the Holy Father.

All in all a fairly busy few weeks and  the Synod begins this weekend. Oh joy.

I for one intend to go to the Holy Hour planned by the SSPX to pray for this Synod.

I entreat you to do so as well ...
