Sanford SSPX - should I just let it go?
« on: June 10, 2019, 09:33:45 AM »
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.

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.

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.

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.
