I have a question for you people in CathInfo. I go to the SSPX Sanford chapel, and have seen the prior getting worse and worse in his vitriolic sermons complaining about anything that is not working according to his desires and he blames the parishioners for everything, never thinking that if the parishioners are not buying into something it is because the product is not attractive. It is anguishing to see the prior open his mouth, with his every word he sinks deeper and deeper into his hate of the parishioners for not buying his "products". 

Should I give advice to the prior through CathInfo or just let it continue on its path? Keep in mind that we are talking about a person who is very vindictive. 

What products is he selling that you aren’t buying?

I called them "products" because anything you are trying to convince people of doing for you is like a "product" you are selling.
For example, he wants people to go to his Ignatian Retreats in Sanford, he wants people to go on the parish pilgrimage, people to set up booths at the parish International cooking festival..... He wants people to clean, repair, maintain the property, plant trees, cut down trees...….
Those are activities that are done in St. Mary's which has 5000 parishioners,  not 200 like Sanford.

He's not taking into account that not everyone is capable of all this due to their duties of state.  I would love to help out more at our church, but simply cannot at this point in my life.  I've known other SSPX priests who also "burned out" their parishioners with excessive activity.  Help inspire them to sanctify themselves, and everything else may (or may not) follow, but the key mission of this priest is to save souls, and sanctify them, not to run a business venture.

And as the place breaks down and completely deteriorates due to the majority who would love to help out more but simply cannot at this point in their life?

No, we are duty bound to put money in the basket crisis or not, and help out cleaning/funding/etc., due to the crisis. For those who are too inconvenienced, then they are to hire and pay for cleaning crew, lawn care, janitors and etc., it's either that, or get off your lazy butts and get in there and do what needs to be done - when you can. But do not dis the priest, you are the ones forcing him to ask for that which he would never ask for if the parishioners did their duty. As it is, they only show their ingratitude for what they have.

  

You're a sactimonious, self-righteous hypocrite, the kind Jesus condemned regularly.  I'm sure there are some who could do more to help, while others cannot.  For this size of chapel, there's an excessive amount of activity.  I'm not talking about the required basics, such as cleaning & maintenance, etc.  But the retreats, pilgrimages, and booths.  Not everyone can do all that, especially with such few people at that chapel.  You're not the aforementioned pastor, are you?

You are ungrateful. It is because the ungrateful and lazy congregation full of do-nothings that forces the priest to ask in the first place.

It's like this: nobody, or not enough people clean, maintains the chapel, or basically even takes care of the most basic of necessities, so that when the priest is forced to ask for help, you throw a tizzy. This behavior is only too typical of ungrateful people. You must be a democrat.
 

For the record I am the OP and I will now make my second posting in reply to the above quote. 
That posting is the kind of vitriol that I am talking about. No one will want to help anyone that considers people garbage like that posting reveals.

No, you should give advice to your priest in person, fact-to-face. Be constructive in you criticism, such as suggesting he ask the parishioners which extra-non-essential activity they would like to do. But as for the necessities, like cleaning and maintenance, that you all need to do. Try to encourage each other to do their part. Suggest alternatives, such as chipping in to hire someone for the tougher jobs, or to volunteer hours that are better for your. schedule. Example, "Sorry Father, I cannot make it to work day this Saturday but I can help for 2 hours each 1st Saturday anytime after 2 PM and before 7 PM".

Yes. There's a post complaining about the Sanford FL chapel often. 

If you're in the US, you have the luxury of being near a weekly Mass — something that people not in your shoes may only get once a year if they're lucky.

Offer it to God and suck it up.

Sounds like said prior might be on this thread.
