5 or more priests at one location is excessive when there are towns who could use Mass at least once a week.

^--- 

I think many of the post Vatican Two “popes” have scandalized more Protestants than these priests.

The ultimate problem is that they are recycling the bottles and putting them in the plastic bins.  My cousin worked at a waste management company and said that all garbage and "recycled" stuff goes to the same dump.  Recycling doesn't happen at the city level - it's a lie.  Too costly and too much time involved.

 So, an anonymous poster has an anonymous cousin who works for an anonymous waste management company in an anonymous location and one is expected to find that credible? … I think not.

I have personal (and non-anonymous) experience with the recycling programs in seven different municipalities and in all those everything they say is recycled actually gets recycled.  The one exception:  Sometimes people are seemingly illiterate and can’t read the labeling on a recycling bin, or they are just that stupid, or too lazy to care and they put garbage or non-designated material in a labeled recycling bin.  When a designated recycling bin reaches a certain percentage of “contamination” it sometimes has to unfortunately be diverted to the landfill because it is not fiscally feasible to resort he contents.

 … the neighbors see the glass recycling containers every week with all the bottles of luxury wines, champagnes, Scotch, Cognac…

Pullman, WA where I used to live did at one time have open top crates for curb side recycling, but those had to be taken to the corner of each block for pickup on a designated day.  Now they, and other towns that have curb side recycling at each home use labeled covered top roller bins that can be automatically picked up by the truck.  In other locations, such as where I live now in Pasco, WA, responsible people collect recyclable material at home and periodically transport them to central locations that accept either mixed or separated recycling.  In either situation I don’t understand how “the neighbors” would know that there are “bottles of luxury wines, champagnes, Scotch, Cognac…" unless
they are spying on the priory with binoculars or creeping about to lift the lids on recycling and garbage  bins.

One almost wants to say "pics or it didn't happen" :-).

So, an anonymous poster has an anonymous cousin who works for an anonymous waste management company in an anonymous location and one is expected to find that credible? … I think not.

Bingo.

Ummm? What is "luxury wine"? 

Lemme see here: CathInfo readers are expected to believe claims made by an anonymous poster about Central Florida!?  How can anyone know whether he or she is not actually just an opinionated snowbird from New York or Michigan?

The teetotaling Protestant is pretty much an obsolete thing today, maybe it still exists in small towns in Alabama and Mississippi, but it certainly does not exist in Orlando, of which Sanford is like a suburb.

Clueless nonsense! Sanford is an independent town|city on its own merits, notably established as the principal river port for Central Florida, back in the decades when that was highly important because the prevailing gray-sand soil seriously impeded transportation.  By contrast, Orlando was just a reprovisioning & comfort stop for cattle-ranchers, reliant on goods transported there across the troublesome intervening soil, probably mostly from the Port of Sanford.

The SSPX Priory is located in an inland part of Sanford.  It's my impression that it's close enough to railroad tracks, and far enough from Lake Monroe, to avoid inflated real-estate values.  Having been there no more than a few times, I guess it could  be fairly described as a blue-collar section of town.

Orlando is like Las Vegas or Phoenix, nobody is from there, the people came there from Northeast states or Southern California.

More clueless nonsense!  Your claim would seem quite foolish to the numerous multigenerational grads of early Orlando high schools.  For many of their graduating classes, reunions are no big deal, because "everybody's still around (here)".  Altho' there's significant invasion of the schools' long-established feeder neighborhoods by flippers and DINKs.

The low-skill low-pay tourism jobs do attract immigration from Northeastern states, but, it seems to me, much more so from Puerto Rico, who seem to have no interest in assimilating to U.S. mainland society, thus imposing broadly new extra costs for education & welfare, which are traceable to widespread smug selfishness of nonassimilation in language.  

Oh!  The U.S. Supreme Ct. ruled a century ago[*] that Puerto Ricans are all U.S. citizens, so when they immigrate to Florida, they can vote immediately in Florida elections, for the trivial cost of a trip to a county election dept., or filling out a form at a state driver's-license office.  Might they be voting absentee back in Puerto Rico?  How about the snowbirds who seasonally infest Florida registering at their seasonal residences, and voting absentee back at their real homes in the Northeastern states, hmmm?

Priory Hospitality
What a wonderful evening with the priests of St. Thomas More Priory! Bordeaux wine (my treat), Islay scotch whisky, pipe smoking, fine cheeses and crisps, and especially intelligent conversation. I will be a regular. Such hospitality!

Dear Anonymous et al:
I'm the author of the above blog post (which oddly enough is over seven years old!), currently attend St. Thomas More, and would be more than delighted to answer the accusations made supra.
(Hint: The charges levelled against the priests (and by extension the culture of the community at large) are a puritanical overreaction at best; more likely, however, an intentionally dishonest representation altogether.)
I'm compelled to join the conversation as searching this forum for my name or associations has caused me to question the propriety, honesty, and extremist views of some of the folks here.
In Dno et Dna.

Where can I get one of those long-stemmed pipes, such as were pictured in your blog??

This one:
