"let's build more chapels!"
Ireland had the opposite. When finance and chapels were made available to Fr Angles, he stated it was not time to expand. He didn't even want Society priests offering Holy Mass in the home of the elderly Mrs Deirdre Manifold. Deirdre had strong words and was a good match for the fiery Spaniard.
I realise the Society must be cautious as the Magnificat Meal Movement "infiltrated" them in Ireland. The MMM are a cult.
I must clarify. Basically, there was Holy Mass in late 1990s/early 2000 in a private house.Not the home of Mrs Manifold. The MMM started recruiting but the SSPX stopped sending priests over to the house.
After this there was a regular Mass in the home of Mrs Manifold. It was usually Fr Bufe. He stopped coming as another priest was able to assist.
Mrs Manifold is now in a nursing home so there is no longer Mass offered in her home. She is 97 and attends the Traditional Mass. She goes to the Institute Christ the King organised Mass. She is not hostile to SSPX but her health is poor and her daughter brings her to nearest Traditional Mass.
To be honest whilst priests never lasted long in Ireland, the SSPX has been successful. Ok, they lost chapels and faithful but generally the apostolate is a healthy one. There have been Irish priests, several marriages, large families, home schooling, co-ops. Some chapels are more distributist than others. Ireland is a jewel in the crown in many ways.
