Unfortunlately, they're "fake monks" like the Dimond Brothers, since nobody with authority to do so actually founded them.  So we need to ferret out Cyprian's first name, is it Bill? ... and start calling him Father Bill (or whatever his real name is).  Right?

Do anyone know who Father Matthew OSB is?  I saw his name on the SSPX bulletin for Mass and confessions this coming Sunday and I have never heard of him before.

Just wanted to make sure he was not one of the novus ordo come-overs (not conditionally ordained)...
Fr. Mathew has been a priest for about 30 years. He was ordained by SSPX. He is not that well known in the US because he spent most of his time France. I first met him 28 years ago at the monastery.

It seems like he is not the Abbot rather the Prior of the Abbey.

After looking at the Newsletter, they seem to have no Abbot and only a Prior and they are under the oversight of the SSPX using SSPX Priests for Vows and Ordinations

Right ... the point is that they're not "real" Benedictines either.

I'm just exposing the attacks on the Dimond Brothers as nonsense rooted in contempt for them than in real Catholic principles.  Any who profess to live by the Rule of St. Benedict can call themselves Benedictines.  That Order has historically and traditionally been non-centralized and non-hierarchical.
