    • I actually have been reading CI over the years before I even made an account. Shame on me for not introducing myself sooner.

    Since infancy, I was raised in Front Royal, VA around large families from St. John’s, from Christendom, and from Seton (Wonderful community of Catholics! I find myself going back several times every year). My grandmother back in the 1990’s attended St. Athanasius where Fr. Ringrose said Masses. We attended these Masses for years, and I received my First Communion as a child there as well as Confirmation from Bishop Williamson. We now attend SSPX. 

    In fact, I grew up with a very strong traditional mind and a tender heart. I have an intense love for souls and for priests. If you can get to Communion every single day, don’t you dare hesitate. God is too good to us. 

    Blessed to have discussions with others on this forum.

    Welcome to the forum, Mike!  I have friends who go to the Upper Marlboro chapel. 

    Though I don't agree with Father Ringrose about shutting down completely when COVID happened, I can understand why.  He is getting old and wasn't sure at first as to how he could offer Masses and confession within regulations.  And if he didn't follow the exact rules the chapel is right off of Route 7 and would probably have been completely shut down forever and everyone involved sued. 

    It was a LOT easier for the SSPX to do their outdoor Masses in Front Royal and Upper Marlboro because they had a lot of younger priests within a few hours taking turns in the responsibilities.  Father Ringrose also lost the help of Father McMahon and Father Ortiz right around the same time and didn't have their help to make things happen as he might have if they had been there.  I know even the Upper Marlboro chapel was having issues with constant complaints about not following regulations and fear of being shut down so the SSPX we're advising as many people as possible to go to the outdoor Front Royal Masses as possible.

    I know Father Carlisle complains about the strains of having to do two Masses every Sunday and says he looks forward to having only one.  But...  He is much younger than Father Ringrose and Father Ringrose does 3 every Sunday! 

    Just saying...  I don't agree with everything Father Ringrose says and does but he really is just trying to survive.  He was born in 1945, so he must be only a few years shy of 80 now!
    We attend St. Athanasius sometimes on Sundays when we are visiting Front Royal. We moved a couple years ago. I am out of the loop now, but I did not know that Frs. McMahon and Ortiz left. Was it a permanent leave?We personally know Fr. Ringrose. Our older priests do need to be checked up on (they could be deceased at the priory and we would not know it) and I want to make sure that Fr Ringrose has the care he needs. It’s the least we can do for those that have given us the sacraments.

    . . . Blessed to have discussions with others on this forum.
    Likewise, I'm sure!  It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance and that of everyone here.

    I am not up to date on the current situation at St. Athanasius.  There are probably other Washington-area posters here who could fill us in.

    I pray that Fr. Ringrose, Fr. Carley, and other faithful priests live to see the day that the tribes unite under the banner of Catholic Truth to expel Modernism from the Mystical Body of Christ.

    Christo Rege,

    They are out indefinitely, probably permanently after the passing of Fr. Collins and the onset of the new Covid world order. The situation at St. Athanasius is stable, but I am no board member myself. Fr. McMahon is in upstate New York while Fr. Ortiz is down in Colombia. I have received emails from both since they left, but it would still be best if you might add all three to your prayers. I see Fr. Ringrose on Sundays, and while age does appear to be catching up to him, he is still doing rather well for how old he is and what he manages to do all by himself.

    Thanks for clarifying. I am quite impressed to hear Fr. Ringrose still has faithful that attend his Masses. I’d hate to think the faithful all go to the SSPX in Front Royal and abandon Fr. Ringrose in Vienna. Thanks again

    Saint Athanasius is still usually quite full at most Sunday Masses at least the ones which we have been at.  There have been many new comers and converts from the novus ordo who don't agree with the SSPX policies and who have replaced those who now go to the SSPX instead of Saint Athanasius.

    I think it has definitely been hard for Father Ringrose learning to manage alone again.  But, for his age he does an amazing job!  We are hoping and praying that God spares him until he can name/find a successor.

    Glad to hear it. Thanks for letting me know. I would choose Fr. Ringrose’s Mass over SSPX Mass in Front Royal any day.

    • Hi all, I’m new here… I saw this forum on an online search and decided I’d give it a look.  I’m traditional Catholic, but with a lower-case T, that is, I believe as Catholics have always believed, but I don’t pit the pre-Vatican-II Church against the post-Vatican-II Church as many do.  I work in a technical career, but my hobbies include pencil drawing (both graphite and colored pencil) and writing classical poetry.

    Anyway, looking forward to meeting you all!

    Welcome to the forum!  

    Are you a mathematician (guessing by your choice of name)?  :popcorn:

    Do you go to the FSSP, the Indult, or novus ordo?

    Yes, but also, a polymath is someone whose knowledge spans many subjects.  I go to Novus Ordo, though I prefer FSSP.
