  • Yes I agree that I have noticed a certain something about an original SSPX priest. He hangs out with a Mexican satanist and imagines himself to be a Bishop today.

    I compare that to a priest who was originally NO who was conditionally reordained by the SSPX. He does his duties without scandal, he cares for the souls of his shee, and he's fairly humble man.

  • I wrote the edit about St. Therese to prove that not necessarily you'll "notice a difference in yourself spiritually". If the Little Flower of Jesus could not notice it for a long time, what makes you think that you should?

    Here's another thought for you from the Imitation of Christ:

    "Blessed is the simplicity which leaveth alone the difficult paths of questionings, and followeth the plain and firm steps of God’s commandments."

    Leave the "difficult path of questioning" whether it makes a difference taking valid sacraments or not, and follow the precepts of the Church of receiving valid sacraments and avoiding invalid ones.

    Ave María
    ¡Viva Jesús!

    Please, disregard any opinions and references that I have posted that may seem favorable to any traditionalist group, especially those that pertinaciously deny EENS (CMRI, Sanborn, Dolan and associates, for example).

  • Here’s your answer.  Compare priests formed by Archbishop LeFebvre, Bishop Williamson, and the French priests who came thereafter. 
    I'm not clear what you're getting at.  Are you referring to comparing three groups of priests?  And what would the differences be?

    "Aloofness", that's the word I was looking for.  One priest who jumps out at me is Fr Helmuts Libeitis, excellent confessor (or he was for me anyway), but very down-to-earth, speaks on a very approachable, common-man level, working-class English accent.  He's anything but aloof.  My only quibble is that his sermons are LONG, at least the one I heard him deliver, ran every bit of 45 minutes.  But it was memorable.

    Why are you on a Traditional Catholic forum?

    Not only are you not Traditional Catholic, but you seem positively hostile towards the movement.

    i am a traditional catholic i accept the pope (pope francis currently) and all teachings of the church i just don't attend the masses that are said in latin and probably never will unless the liturgy is changed and latin masses become the norm again

    So you're one of those "small T" traditional Catholics.

  • I find this question to come at an interesting time.  Just recently I tried to attend and FSSP mass specifically wondering if I would "feel" any different.  It felt disordered, so much, that I had to leave.  I keep wondering if it was my own scruples, a nudging from my Guardian Angel, or a demon, I guess I will never know for sure in this life time.

  • Perhaps the saints might, but the rest of us don't.

    This reminds me of a woman who had attended the consecration of Bishop Dolan.  Someone in her presence questioned the validity of the consecration, and her response was "I know it was valid.  I could feel the Holy Ghost there."
    Aren't you the guy that says he can taste if the host is really Jesus?

  • The problem for many priests and laity is that many of us have become too worldly. 

     There is too much time to get in trouble too.   Many worldly priests have no time to give last rites but plenty of time for worldly entertainment or  time was made to cause scandal.
