  • Fr. Reid Hennick announced today that he has left the SSPX. His departure letter is attached, and transcribed below. In the letter he states that since his formation in the seminary he has become a sedevacantist and can no longer represent the Society's interests. The letter is very amicable and not polemical in the slightest.
    well-written letter
    thanks for sharing
    I wonder if Avrillé would take him in? I heard they're not opposed to sedevacantist or sededoubtist seminarians.

  • Since this thread has been ressurected, I add to the list:

    Fr. Fabio Calixto.
    A Brazilian, he was ordained in 2010 or 2011 and left the SSPX last month. He is now Resistance, working with Bp. Thomas Aquinas in Brazil.

  • Fr. Cekada has a point… why do so many priests who leave the Society apostasize and join the “Latin Mass groups”? It’s rather concerning…

    Sorry that wasn’t the most clear. I meant like, Fr. Cekada rightly pointed out that a lot of SSPX priests left to join the conciliar church with the FSSP or some other Ecclesia Dei or Rome approved Latin amass group. It’s just confusing why so many left to join the Vatican II sect even in the 90s when the SSPX still had good Catholic Theology.

    True. That is confusing.

    IMO, it's because they ventured off into areas they had no need to venture off into. They must have dwelt on matters they should have avoided, because doing so only served to get themselves sucked in, areas like "obedience to the pope." They got themselves to deny the difference between true obedience and false obedience, and all the other traditional theology that they learned to keep them out of the conciliar church in the process.

    This is what I found on him from a quick Google search:

    https://fssp.org.uk/your-clergy/

    Fr John Emerson was ordained to the priesthood in June 1981 and incardinated into the FSSP in November 1988. He is based in Edinburgh, Scotland and was in charge of our Scottish apostolate from 2000 to 2022.

  • Does anyone know what happened to Fr Eric Simonot?  He was French and served in the GB district around 1990. Then he was quite 'hard line' but I heard he had become some NO military chaplain.

  • Father Paul Aulagnier, former SSPX priest, who founded FIDELITER magazine.

    Unofficial.
    Livre Bleu *, 1984 (Blue Book of Fr. Barrielle)


        This book has been realised in filial hommage and respectful gratitude towards the Rev. Father L. M. Barrielle (1898-1983) who transmitted the torch of the Spiritual Exercises to the Fraternity of St. Pius X.

      PREFACE
    by His Excellency Mgr. Marcel Lefebvre
    International Seminary of St. Pius X
    ECONE (Switzerland)

    Écone, 25 February, 1984
    St. Matthias, apostle

        Blessed are the retreatants of the Exercises of St. Ignatius who may, thanks to this "Book of Prayers and of Exercises" rediscover the souvenirs of the Retreat, and continue to live by them! and thereby perpetuate the marvelous graces received in the course of those blessed days.

      This little "Blue Book", so dear to our venerable Père Barrielle, true servant of God, isn't it the voice of the Archangel Raphael, of our guardian angel, throughout our earthly pilgrimage, unceasingly reminding that : "in all things, we must consider the end" and take the appropriate means to reach it.

        This is the secret of Christian prudence, of the true wisdom which is opposed to the  prudence of the flesh and of the wise of this world.

        This small treasure can therefore be profitable for all souls of good will and will help keep the royal traditional roads towards sanctification according to the most pure spirit of the Church.

        O Our Lady, patroness of the Exercises, grant that by the holy use of the "Blue Book", I may one day share your happiness in Eternity.

        + Marcel Lefebvre



    * Published by FIDELITER magazine, which was started in January 1978 by Fr. Paul Aulagnier (R.I.P. + 2021 A.D.)
    He left the FSSPX in 2003.

    Mostly Google Translation: Excerpt

        ...On Thursday, 6 May 2021, Father Paul Aulagnier, gave his combative soul to God in the 50th year of his priesthood.

        Born on 25 May 1943 and ordained a priest by Archbishop Lefebvre on 17 October 1971, he was (with Bishop Tissier de Mallerais) of the first seminarians to place himself under the direction of our founder in Fribourg. He performed important functions in the Fraternité Saint Pius X.

        A professor and vice-rector at the seminary of Ecône, he was a superior of the District of France for eighteen years, from 1975 to 1994, and established in our country many priories, schools and works (such as the magazine and the Fideliter editions) which today constitute the essential network of our apostolate. He showed himself in his office an enthusiastic leader, paternal, concerned with vocations...

    *******
    Abbé Paul Aulagnier RIP.  He was a born leader. I knew him quite well. A prince really. Anyone who knew him will agree that he was a tireless priest, but also enjoyed a hearty laugh. Praying Compline at Suresnes was very special. One morning he wrote 32 letters, by hand!  He brought us to Pontmain, France, where Our Lady appeared on 17 Jan. 1871, at 6:00 p.m., but only to children, and 3 hours later Our Lady blocked the army of the Germans. The General told his soldiers:" We cannot continue...the Madonna is blocking the way!"
    I love Our Lady.

    He made a trip to Winona in 1989  and wanted to visit with me. He had a wonderful character. We will miss him.

It’s just confusing why so many left to join the Vatican II sect even in the 90s when the SSPX still had good Catholic Theology.

    Obviously they didn't "get it". They didn't understand the Traditional Movement, Abp. Lefebvre, or the mission of the SSPX. They were apparently just there for the smells & bells.
    Don't think for a minute than when good doctrine is given, everyone absorbs it.

    +Williamson was crystal clear on the Jews and Freemasons during his entire 20 year rectorship of the American SSPX seminary. AND YET -- plenty of seminarians rolled their eyes when. +W spoke about the JQ, the Freemasonic infiltration of the Church, etc. Basically any conspiracy. I was blown away whenever I saw cases of this. I was like "Come on, aren't we all Trads? I thought every Trad knew about that!" But apparently NOT.

    Going to an SSPX chapel from birth is NOT a guarantee of orthodoxy. It all depends on how you were raised, how you were taught by other parents/teachers/etc. and your personal attitude towards the World (along with Free Will).

    How old were you when your naïveté was destroyed? I specifically remember instances of being blown away. For example, a couple seminarians talking about friends back home -- TRADS -- who were guilty of sins like fornication. I was incredulous. I mean, how do you wake up and find yourself committing that sin? Isn't that a pretty egregious thing, a red line of sorts? Don't alarm bells go off that you've completely lost the plot? And yet -- apparently not.
