What is Fr. Collins position on Baptism of Desire, if I may ask ?

He believes all that the Church teaches, and that includes Baptism of Desire.

Most of what's written here is in line with my experience. SSPV tends to brand and copyright their members. There is a special animosity between SSPV and other members of the Nine, especially if they share territory and collection baskets.

Also, my brief experience with Father Collins would lead me to believe he is a kind and holy priest with a winning sense of humor and a strong work ethic. I don't believe you can go wrong, if you choose him.

I would second that the SSPV has these cultish practices. While I have never been questioned by the priests about the sacraments, they, from the pulpit, say not to come to the sacraments if you go to Thuc-line priests or even priests that associate with Thuc-line priests, amongst other things.
As for Fr Collins, I do know him and he is very knowledgeable and a humble, holy priest who is doing what he can for the souls that God puts in his path. He knows many other priests and is friendly with the CMRI.
If you assist at his Mass, you will be in good hands.

The SSPV is a holy group of priests. A great priestly society.

You can trust them.

Quote from: ascent

Assisting an Antiochian, Alexandrian or Byzantine Rite Mass celebrated by a priest in communion with the Seat of Peter is another option, if one is close to the area you will be visiting. They are every bit as Catholic as the Tridentine Latin Mass, unlike the the protestant novus ordo mass.

From what I know of SSPV, which is very little, they seem to be cult-like. I emailed them once about an inquiry, and their response gave me this impression, along with a little info I gathered from my limited research on them. Their Sacrament is certainly valid, but they will have issue with you receiving Communion if you are not SSPV. Considering their chapels are small, and everyone pretty much knows one another, or can recognize faces, they, and certainly the priest, will know you are from the "outside", therefore, the priest will probably deny you Communion.

This isn't so.

I attended an SSPV chapel and both me and my son received Holy Communion.

They are just being careful in this dangerous age with such widespread indifference. If you lived near an SSPV chapel it would be a true Godsend! A real spiritual treasure.

I'm going to be in upstate New York in two weeks

What a fortunate opportunity for you!

On July 2nd, the Daughters of Mary had a ceremony in Round Top, NY - a few of their postulants were taking the veil and a ceremony was being held. I received an invite but I couldn't make it on such short notice and it is a 15 hour drive. However, I would be ecstatic if my job responsiblities took me near Round Top.

Of course, I feel very fondly toward the SSPV and the other trad groups.

Much of this "cultishness" is largely overblown by malcontents. The priests of the SSPV are a holy group of priests and you can trust their sacraments. I certainly do.

SSPV is made up of serious sedevacantists. That is why they left the SSPX. I don't know offhand what their Una cuм position is, but most sedevacantists (with some major notable exceptions) are anti-Una cuм, and criticize the SSPX for using it.
