Seems there are many ideas in this one thread. From Matthew's original post, it has gone off on courtship, marriage, poor families moving to be close to their priests, and finally back to the SSPV and Jenkins where most threads on schools end up. Perhaps it should be split into seperate threads to be discussed more clearly.

I agree with Dawn. The Father Jenkins stuff should be in a different thread.

Alexandria,

You appear to be possess the attributes that Fr Jenkins would be looking for to form the minds of young traditional Catholics : hostile, abusive, bullying , egocentric, underhanded . If you play along he will even let you think that you can be an ancillary Jenkins unemployable family goon who can roam the school and church grounds randomly enforcing petty rules . The retirement plan includes ripping off and conning the millionaires who attend the chapel .

Thank you.

Actually I was thinking some of the remarks on this thread more like Charles Dickens:

First Collector: At this festive time of year, Mr. Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute.
Ebenezer: Are there no prisons?
First Collector: Plenty of prisons.
Ebenezer: And the union workhouses - are they still in operation?
First Collector: They are. I wish I could say they were not.
Ebenezer: Oh, from what you said at first I was afraid that something had happened to stop them in their useful course. I'm very glad to hear it.
First Collector: I don't think you quite understand us, sir. A few of us are endeavoring to buy the poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth.
Ebenezer: Why?
First Collector: Because it is at Christmastime that want is most keenly felt, and abundance rejoices. Now what can I put you down for?
Ebenezer: Huh! Nothing!
Second Collector: You wish to be anonymous?
Ebenezer: [firmly, but calmly] I wish to be left alone. Since you ask me what I wish sir, that is my answer. I help to support the establishments I have named; those who are badly off must go there.
First Collector: Many can't go there.
Second Collector: And some would rather die.

very Malthusian in the scene, Dickens works in some very good criticism of the times.

thanks for inputtin that thar sister-cousin, yuck yuck :roll-laugh1: :roll-laugh2:

Hi John- No, I have not listened to the sermons, and it is fair that there are two sides to every story.

I 100% agree that no man should uproot his family somewhere and expect that others will support his family for him.

Is it true the priest encourages the dowery?

I was sitting in the pew with my husband when he said it. He also favored the school run along the lines of a military academy.

militarized trads-great

they get that enough from Americanism, K of C,etc....my dad actually talked about one priest he met at a k of C function, said priest was a chaplain and actually said that all priests should be forced to be one at one time, as most are "AMerica/military haters"..

:really-mad2: :argue:

please, someone, beam me out of this country, fast...
