Probably the best SSPX priest I experienced as a confessor was Father Daniel Cooper.  



Next to that, it would be Father Richard Boyle.



He seems to have an interest and insight into repentant souls who seek the Sacrament of Confession.

💔 ❤️

 ... this should probably get its own thread.

The question is raised because I went to Confession with him several years back and he said no Absolution prayers after I confessed.
It was more from the Novus ordo spirit of "God bless you and have a nice day".

The simple question is, Does Father Horvat pray the traditional Catholic Absolution?  Yes or No ?

And if he's truly conditionally formed and ordained, then why wouldn't he pray the Latin Absolution?

It's been a while since I confessed to Fr Horvath, but I'm pretty sure he recites the absolution prayer in Latin. He does say something along the lines of "God bless you" after you recite the act of contrition. I'll pay attention to it next time I confess to him. He's scheduled to be back at my local chapel next month.

Fr. Otto Keiser. I think he is in St. Louis now or at least Missouri. 

Fr Horvath had a heart attack early this week.  Please keep him in your prayers.

Thank you for telling us! We will pray for him!

Thank you for telling us! We will pray for him!

Father has recovered and celebrated Mass in Louisville yesterday.

That's good!  As militant Catholics we should always watch over the Sacraments.

In 1983, the "Naughty Nine" defectors rightly criticized the SSPX's acceptance of new rite, non-conditionally ordained priests entering the Society.

Bp. Huonder is our latest reminder of a Novus ordo clerics entering the SSPX with an agenda. 

Which only shows that the SSPX was compromising well before the so-called "ralliement".

I would never have thought of asking a priest to meet you somewhere halfway.  That would be hugely "pastoral" and is a great idea.  There are any number of secular places you could get together, such as a private study carrel in a library (the ones with closed doors and a window in the door), or a vacant classroom in a college or university that would be willing to accommodate you, on weekends they're pretty much free,  You could also meet at a private area of an outdoor municipal park.

Fr Kevin Robinson is hugely pastoral. He invited himself to our home which was 150 kms from the home Mass he was celebrating in a garage. While visiting us he also visited an enclosed convent and offered to say the TLM for the nuns (who were willing) but the bishop refused permission. He would have gone to the university campus across the road to talk to students if he had had the time. After that we attended SSPX Masses in the garage.
In his marriage preparation, he counsels prospective spouses to make sure they know each others stand on Vax before they marry.

Not only holy but wise.
