Yes, Raoul, I am the realtor who sold Queen of Angels to C.M.R.I.. At that time I was living in Calif. and had a real estate license. I remember behind the altar was a small pool where the Protestants would dunk their members for babtism, and how we had it removed. I myself at that time, help to sand all those pews that you today are sitting in. We were darn lucky to obtain that property, with no parking, very little room for any growth, but it was ours at the time, was all we could afford, and now it is bursting out at the seams with people I understand.
This thread here if your read all the replies, has nothing to do with belitting SSPX, in fact, it gave me a sick feeling just thinking how we traditionalist have to be so creative to purchase anything. Did you even read all the post there. It says how the novus ordo would rather sell to Muslims then any traditionalist. Near the bottom of the page, there are replies from SSPX Catholics from Europe who are also complaining, it shows how the Modernist hate traditionalists.
I was just googling different things when I read what was happening at the Abbey in Al, and came across this interesting thread. Just thought others might find it interesting too.
