  • After we had been encouraged by Bishop Fellay to start a house of formation ad experimentum for future Redemptorist novices, Menzingen has implemented a protocol for religious orders that entails us closing our novitiate for now.
    Menzingen or bishop de Galarreta (or both)?
    What is the full "protocol for religious orders"? To deny the creation of new foundations? To encourage more SSPX priests, brothers, sisters?

    I think that it has to do with the fact that +Fellay is conceding that they can't set up any more houses for Traditional pre-V2 Catholic Orders such as the Redemptorists, Dominicans, etc. ... as that would have a "schismatic" sense to it, as only the Church has authority over such Orders.

  • I really hope the newSociety knows exactly the meaning and conditions and limitations that are intrinsic to "SUPPLIED JURISDICTION" ! BECAUSE OF "EMERGENCY" Situations or circuмstances, when a faithful catholic asks for a sacrament (s), then the Church supplies the jurisdiction / graces. But closing/ controlling a Redemptorist foundation ??? I would be condemned at the judgment day if I so much as encouraged, or spoke approvingly of a Schismatic person/bishop /entity.! The following is probably outdated...

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The Society of Saint Pius X has close links with several religious institutes, chiefly in France.
    Various orders
    Latin orders
    Male orders
    The following are associated male orders:[4]
    Female orders
    The following are associated female orders:[4]
    Eastern orders
    The following are associated religious orders that celebrate according to Eastern Catholic liturgies:[23]

    Whatever they are canonically (and +Lefebvre wasn't wrong), one gives a schismatic "impression" by going around setting up Dominican or Redempotorist (or other) types of religious houses.

    Fr. Alphonsus is not in that category tho. For years he's worked with the SSPX in all sorts of areas such as filling in as a substitute priest when they ask him to. He hears confessions Sundays or at least every other Sunday at SSPX before and during the Low Mass, gives missions for the SSPX etc. so it's not like he's some break away priest or anything.

    As it says on his Amazon Wish List page: "The Traditional Redemptorist Missioners are preachers associated with the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX)."

    Anyway, he is still in the process building the monastery and will have an informal blessing of it next week and an official blessing with +Fellay sometime around the end of the year after it's completed.

    HRH Update
    May 3, 2024|Monastery News
    Thank you for your support, both financial and moral, through Lent and Eastertide.
    We had four excellent Parish Missions, in Mount Holly, NC; Kansas City, KS; Syracuse, NY; and De Pere, WI. There was also a three-day recollection preached to the SSPX Brothers at their novitiate in Winona, MN.
    The building of the monastery/retreat house is proceeding slowly. Since Easter, the ceilings and drywall have been put up, the furnaces have been installed, and the building has been connected to the electrical grid.
    Although the project is still half finished, it has been decided to go ahead with the blessing of the building on Tuesday, May 7, which will be the 100th anniversary of the priestly ordination of Fr. George Kathrein, C.Ss.R.
    Later in the year, when the decoration of the chapel is finished, we hope to have it blessed by the bishop.
    Depending on the progress made on the building, we should be able to hold retreats here this autumn. Once the date of completion is announced, details will follow on our website.
    Thank you again to all our benefactors, financial and spiritual. Your intentions are remembered in our prayers four times every day.

    Sounds like retreat house for now ... while they hold out hope it'll be turned into a house of formation down the road.

    Yes, this is the hope.
