SSPX Erecting +Hounder Memorial
gloria.tv | July 4, 2024
The caption reads, "Help yourself, and make a donation to the memorial of His Excellency, Bishop Vitus Hounder."
The priest who sends this to me says it seems that this appeal and commemorative magazine appears at the front door of all SSPX chapels (not sure in which districts though).
Shameless posturing for Roman consumption: "We really, really love Novus Ordo bishops, and we'll give him a bigger memorial than that one guy who founded us. Look how well we're behaving, and how far all our faithful have come that this isn't an issue for them! You can give us formal recognition now!"
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre

A member of The Catacombs wrote that the SSPX is more than just passively putting out a collection box for this purpose in one chapel - they are actively soliciting donations for this 'memorial': the SSPX chapels in Munich (there may be several other chapels doing the same but this area it was confirmed) are sending out fliers in the mail seeking funds to honor +Huonder with a memorial.
Why so much effort to honor a Novus Ordo bishop who never renounced Vatican II and it's errors, never renounced the New Mass.
Perhaps it is a gesture to please their new masters in Rome? Or perhaps it was 'suggested/requested' of them and to keep the 'favors' they have been receiving from Francis et al., they must comply?

There is no memorial, I think something was lost in translation here. I've held and read through the booklet in question. Thick, glossy pages, no expense spared, full of photos of "Bishop Vitus" as they keep calling him, smiling with children at their confirmation, or strolling through sunny Alpine pastures accompanied by SSPX priests... it's all about what a nice man he was. Nothing doctrinal, nothing about the New Mass, the errors of Vatican II or anything.
I think the booklet was offered for free at the back of chapels in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and a donation solicited instead of a price. And since it's dedicated to his memory, that's where the word "memorial" comes from.
Sorry, I somehow managed not to see this thread until now.
