Earlier this week, we had an SSPX priest over to our house for a meal. We have had so many traditional priests over for dinner throughout the years. It’s a great way to get to know who they are a bit better, for them to know us, and to feel them out on certain trickier topics. This priest said, without mincing words, that Francis is a heretic, that the Conciliar Church is not Catholic, that the FSSP and all indult groups are not at all traditional, etc etc. on and on. All good stuff.
And yet, from the pulpit, in the Angelus, on their official social media channels and websites, it’s the same old milquetoast content recycled over and over. There are good Priests left but it’s as if they’re totally muffled, have no influence, or are otherwise unwilling to speak up louder. A far cry from several decades ago.
