10) Bishop Kelly is indeed sick, and has been for a long time. I was told by a Priest that Bishop Kelly comes from a kind-of "sickly" family, and for much of his Priesthood has been ill with one thing or another.

He has some type of cancer I think, along with various other things. In all the years I have attended the SSPV/CSPV he has been sick and I've never known a time where he has travelling on a Mass circuit at least in the years I have attended their Masses. It does seem odd that Bishop Dolan, Father Cekada, and Father Collins are all gone but Bishop Kelly with his years of sickness is still with us.

You don't really want to go there, do you?

Are you sure about this? Why would this be a reason for a priest not to fly to administer to the needs of the faithful? I remember the outrage when those things were introduced, and rightly so, but no one ever claimed it was a sin to go through one of those machines, and as a matter of fact traditional Catholics fly on planes all the time without the slightest hesitation of conscience. Are you really sure this is why they don't fly?

Welll, my mom has been going to St. Therese for years, and that's the story she's been getting from the chapel coordinator, that the priests and nuns and seminarians of SSPV East (aka CSPV) refuse to fly because of the scanners, and this has been corroborated by the fact that when Bishop Santay did do confirmations a couple years ago, he drove around the country.  Not sure if that's changed recently with the TSA pre-check stuff someone else mentioned.

Yeah, I don't know about this. It's a little hard to imagine anyone saying he refuses to get on a plane because he doesn't want to go through the body scanner, least of all a trad priest. I looked at their website and it lists 27 Mass centers spread all across the United States, most of which have Mass nearly every Sunday.
 

Well, remember that many of these are serviced by the old SSPV priests who remain, along with Father Jenkins' group that works out of Cincinnati.  I'm not saying that all the SSPV priests have the same attitude toward the scanners.  I know for a fact that Fathers Jenkins, Greenwell, and Baumberger will all take flights.  I'm not sure if that's part of the rift between the two groups.

If that is what the coordinator at St. Therese thinks, he or she is misinformed.

He is correct about the nuns not flying, but even they have started to fly again recently.

I can't say one way or the other if Bishop Santay drove to a Confirmation in a specific instance or what the reason would've been for doing so, but he visits my chapel once in a while and always flys in. Neither he nor the other Priests of the CSPV had a "no fly" policy, and even if they did they contradicted it every time they have come to say Mass at my chapel.

Thinking back I can think 0 times I have ever known the Priests to have driven to my chapel from Round Top, and we have had the CSPV Priest's servicing our chapel continuously for about 15 years.

It's not part of the rift, because the CSPV Priests never stopped flying.
