Mass Stipends increased 25% to $25.00.  Novus Ordo Masses are still a $10.00 stipend in Canada.  People are struggling already.  .........

Most Novus Ordo parishes combines all the different stipends into a single mass (you can see the long list of intentions in their bulletins). This itself is a scandal because a priest can only take 1 stipend per Mass.

I gues that if you don't have money because you earn very little and barely survive, the priest will make an exception. He should, because the Church's priority is getting souls to heaven, not to win money.

That, and in Novus Ordo dioceses, priests also draw a certain salary independent of the stipends.  That's actually not a bad setup, since this prevents a perception that the stipends are buying Masses.  Most Traitional operations are too small, but the SSPX is big enough to set up a similar arrangement.

It was sarcasm, it was in reply to another one of Ladislaus' slandering of sspx falsely accusing them of sending your stipend to individuals who may or may not even be valid priests. 

You need to shut up and reveal yourself, you Anonymous coward.  It's well known that SSPX harbor doubtful NO priests who have not been conditionally ordained.  When you send the stipends centrally to the SSPX (not to an individual priest), they regularly farm out stipends to said priests.  I heard directly from an individual who mentioned specifically the name of the priest who ended up with his Mass intentions, and he was one of these non-conditionally-ordained NO types.  You slander me from your cowardly anonimity by claiming that I'm slandering SSPX.  Disagree if you want about whether NO ordinations are doubtful, but many here on this forum consider them to be positively doubtful, and they have a right to be made aware that SSPX might funnel their stipends to such dubious priests.
