Is this serious? Souvenir wine, a different kind for each bishop? Sorry, but it’s just plain tacky, imo. Archbishop LeFebvre is probably turning in his grave. A quadruple consecration is a solemn, holy occasion, not a time for fund raising or a festival like atmosphere.
I DO assume the t-shirt is a joke.
In recent years, I feel the SSPX has become too commercialized, using extravagant prizes to lure in wealthy donors. A luxury automobile, a Rolex, now wine? Even the chapel I used to attend began to sponsor events that only the well-off could attend. A formal catered dinner and a musician for $100 a plate? I know of no parents of large families or even small families or young couples who attended. If it’s really vocations to the priesthood they’re after, they won’t be attracting any boys or young men by sponsoring events they can’t attend.
I’m not saying there can never be appeals to the wealthy, but leaving out the actual source of vocations gives the wrong message.
