  • I know the Shrine is not in communion with Rome.

    From Holy Family website:  "This Chapel of the Holy Family rejects Modernism and will not serve the profane. It has no affiliation with the local ordinary."  

    But check out the photo section of their website.  A bit of a contradiction?

    Re:  Holy Family website.  I tried enlarging the first picture to see if anything there gave contradiction and saw nothing.  The other pictures didn't help me see one.   So I need a hint as to what is ambiguous.  Here is the only bit of information I ever found - I once did a search and turned up one blogpost comment by Gregory Safreed with which I agreed.  It may have sounded like the Statement of Purpose.  I assumed the writer was not ordained and believe he was not at the time he wrote.  I now see that the priest in the photographs is older than I assumed by the comment.  That right there gives a clue as to history - perhaps this is someone who had experience as a layman for quite some time.  As an aside, none of the above has to be a red flag but perhaps is the reason why information is not on the site, not even a mention of the name of the priest.  That, is a red flag.

  • Brooksville is a small town. How did they end about with this shrine and Sanborn?

  • From the website:
    "Holy Family is in union with Eternal Rome... It has no affiliation with the local ordinary."
    .
    Here's what I see wrong in the photos:
    1. Red altar boy cassocks
    2. Sleeveless dresses and no chapel veil for first Holy communion girls.
    3. Sleeveless dresses for, perhaps, may crowning?
    4. Ladies in short slacks (capris)
    5. Young ladies in tank top - thin strap
    6. Lady with no sleeves
    7. Ladies in shorts
    8. Lady in slacks
    Red cassocks might have been part of singing in the choir growing up in the Episcopal Church.  They looked right to me.  Sleeveless dresses, slacks, shorts are pernicious; comfortable in a tropical environment without a traditional Catholic Church in sight.

  • Fr. Safreed responded to my telephone message.  I asked permission to share the information. 

    For my part, I actually have come to believe that simply posting this kind of thing on one's church site rocks. 

    It shows confidence in one's own decisions and Divine Providence has full scope to work. 

    I can see confidence in this letter below.  Allowing divine providence to work - those who care can investigate and make whatever decision they make from whatever standpoint they have so far reached in their understanding of the Crisis in the Church.  I have written to Traditio to ask them to help the IP's around the country who are not forthcoming to see what is obvious to me. 

    An example of an IP for whom honesty is not seen as a potential weapon against oneself is Bp. Ramolla.  As some know, he underwent various challenges in his experience of life in Ohio in the US.  It's possible to find his thoughts on his own consecration decision, and they are shall we say, not very joyful.  But on reading I only became more appreciative of him. 

    The net result = more congregants as more people end up searching on line and moving for various sacraments.

    'Holy Family is an independant Traditional Roman Cathoic Chapel with no ties whatsoever to the Novus Ordo church.

    It is run by a lay-board who is responsible for its financial and physical well being.

    I was originally ordained by the "Mar Thoma" Orthodox church, which has valid orders. This was done with the stipulation that I would NOT become a part of their religion, and that I would remain a part of the Traditional Roman Catholic Church. They did it as a favor to my then Superior, as I belong to a very small group of Franciscans called The Franciscan Friars of the Sacred Heart.  The Traditional bishops are very political, and so I resorted to being ordained under those conditions. 

    When I came to Holy Family five years ago, I was ordained "sub-conditione" by Bishop Patrick Taylor, of Beckley, WV. He has many valid epispopal lines, of which no one can doubt, and used the traditional (Pius XII) ordinal when ordaining me sub-conditione. There can be no question about my validity. 

    While the Chapel itself is "independent," I am a sedevacantist, so I do not beleive that there has been a valid Pope since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958. I do not include "Pope" Francis' name in the Canon of the Mass. 

    The Missal I use is that of the 1955-56 vintage, with the Holy Week as prescribed by Pius XII.'

  • IP means Independent Priest.

  • Altar boys have been wearing red cassocks for centuries.
