Recently, the SSPX priest at my church asked people to fill out a form with their information on it, so that it would be easier to make house calls, send out emergency notifications and so on. I'm not sure why the OP would be upset about it being called a patronage because as we all know, SSPX operates outside the diocesan system and therefore has no claim to be a parish. It was the way the lay person wrote it out.
There could always be an ulterior motive I suppose, but remember you are not required to give out your info.
. I have no ulterior motive. In fact, as a Catholic I want the true Mass and Sacraments to expand. I have no problems with the priest. It is a good thing that he is cleaning up the chapel. I have a problem with being ostracized and shunned by these "patron" lay people and holier then thou patrons. Including those hypocrites who are living a double life. Divorced people, etc. I'm not a patron. I'm a Roman Catholic.
If a family isn't a "patronage" until they are sent a census card, then they should be refunded their tithing that was placed in the collection basket during Mass prior being sent the census card.
Normally, when a family fills out registration and attends Mass and places tithing in collection basket during Mass on a weekly basis, they are "patrons". It lacks Christian charity and sinful to take money and mistreat people.
The only patrons I know are the ones who go to theatre, ballet, symphony or opera.
Philadelphia SSPX. In fact that Chapel has a history of strange activity. After all, it was called St Ciprian's before it was St Jude's. Heard there was a priest who was even shot at...that is scary. Priests come and go within 1 to 2 years. A visiting priest gave a sermon about Christian charity.
I guess it went in one ear and the other. The new priest is really a good priest. The sermons are good. He makes Confession and Mass a priority.
Maybe I'm wrong for venting. Maybe I should offer up my persecution up to God.
I Have to read that trad cats believe that novous ordo clergy and faiful including fssp are worse then terrorists from the Middle East. That is herectic talk. Or hear that a priest up in Connecticut is being persecuted because he is former novous ordo. That is mean. I'm glad I vented here instead of getting my Irish up after Mass.
There is a crisis in the Church because Catholics are persecuting one another.
I went to Confession and Mass on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
