  • Fr. Horvath is probably a living saint despite any visible imperfections.

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

  • We did different things for summer when we were homeschooling—sometimes totally free like in the old days, sometimes a year of math in 2½ months, sometimes summer P.E. was martial arts. Our children have turned out well and as Catholics better than me (probably my wife's influence). I'm glad to hear that Sean had a good confessional experience with Fr. Beck, but I would have seen the name on the confessional and turned away as he turned his back to me while I was still politely talking.

    And sometimes doing target math
    at the range...

  • 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.

    He'll be in my rosary intention. Fr Horvath is, by far, my favorite SSPX priest that comes to my local chapel.

  • 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 Bourbeau is really gentle priest in the confessional, and in general. He's at the Walton priory during the week most of the time, but I don't know his schedule there. He's the regular priest that comes out to North Carolina every weekend.

    And like others have said, I also recommend Fr Horvath. Gentle in confession, but also takes initiative to offer advice on dealing with sin.

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

  • The confessionals have the absolution prayer pinned on the wall in the NC chapel. I am sure all the priests utilize it. :pray:

    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.

    At my telephone request from 1,500 miles distant, Fr. Cooper visited a lapsed Catholic friend on his death bed. Indeed an alter-Christus.
