As I pointed out earlier, I don't care for the language that they use and their publication of "price lists" as if it were a menu at a restaurant.

Apart from that, unless you are one of the few who are able to be in contact with a priest who has availability, when you send a stipend to the SSPX for Masses, they farm them out to individuals who may or may not even be valid priests.

I know also from individuals who have told me personally that there's an inordinate delay in the SSPX making good on these Mass intentions.  They take the money right away but then can take over a year to "make good" on them, and that's only if you keep pestering them about it.

It's even worse with SSPV, they use the money to throw beach parties for the spring breakers!

Really? Any evidence for that?

According to one inflation calculator online, $5.00 in 1965 would be $47.56 today--that's using official inflation figures.

I request Masses for several deceased persons as well as Masses for the successes of specific marriages and religious vocations every year.  I had decided earlier this year to increase the stipend I give to $30.00.  I am wondering if I should consider increasing to $50.00.

Those amounts don't seem over the top to me except perhaps the Gregorian stipend since 30 times $25 would give us $750.  I see that the priest stipend is $300 for a funeral and $100 for a wedding.  Is it higher because there is more involved?

Between the OP and the anti-SSPV post, it seems the anonymous sub-forum is once again being used to bash Trad groups.
