A case of white knighting?

The principle supposedly at work, I take it, was that he had publically humiliated the young lady, so public humiliation was his just desert.


This is a power play by a liberal-minded priest.  The issue of veiling is reframed as excessive zeal - as though it's bad that people exert social pressure of even the gentlest kind to support traditional customs.  And doing so in the context of a high-ranking male (the priest) publicly humiliating a low ranking male for doing the right thing.  It's a power play by liberal trying to instill fear in those who are more traditional than the priest.

It's very warped, and it relies on the idea that women are passive and cannot offend, that their persons are sacred and any male who transgresses the arbitrary boundaries the lead males want to set is fair game for vicious treatment.

I think a young woman should be relieved that someone helped her to be properly attired at mass.  I was always heartened and relieved when I saw someone pass a mantilla to an unveiled woman at mass.

Did the young woman take offense at being handed the veil?  The priest just taught her to take offense at someone trying to help her.  The priest just taught everyone there a lesson in cultural marxist feminism.

That's what neocons do in traditionalist organizations.  And the neo-SSPX is neocon.

On the other hand- I have had some irrational, angry brow-beatings by priests.
 I thought we were supposed to hoover it up for the love of God and make excuses until the last possible instant.  I think it is only fair to make certain this only an isolated episode and not a symptom of an ongoing problem of an out-of-control priest.  The girl with no mantilla should have made it her business to say she was sorry, whether she speaks English or not, the sentiment could have been conveyed.  I can't believe anyone who has been around for 2 weeks lacks the intelligence to figure the head covering tradition.

Didn't TKGS say that dress has become much more lax at his chapel since the SSPX took over?

He's not out of control. He's usually equanimious and charitable. In this case he went way over-the-top. There could be a few contributing reasons, but I think the core is white knighting.

She's not a stupid girl. It's probably the chapel she came from gave her bad habits. You know how these French can be.
