How is everyone liking their new priest?

Clarification needed! I was reading through this thread and this sounds wrong!  What I meant was that I’ve never had a bonafide spiritual director because no priest has ever remained long enough in one place for that to be possible.  I have had good priests, in general, a few excellent, in fact.

It's been many years since I've had access to a solid spiritual director.  When you're a "mission" chapel especially, it's all the priest can do just to hear Confessions before moving along to the next place.  And, quite frankly, the newer neo-SSPX priests that I've run into have NOT been very good with direction nor even with pastoral care in general.  There were quite a few great ones with the SSPX "old guard".

Oh, I've noticed also that the solid priests from my generation are generally relegated to low-profile positions and as assistants.  They should be the heads of the various priories, schools, and chapels ... but instead they put the newer/younger priests in charge, so much so that it gives me the impression that they don't trust these older priests to be on board with the neo-SSPX agenda.  I know a few of them who are not particularly happy with the new direction, but they basically don't know what alternative/choice they have.  Not everyone can forge out on their own and start up a chapel, etc.

Why does the SSPX transfer so frequently?

Every 4-6 years is frequent?

Well, better than the last, so far, but really wet behind the ears.

Agreed.

Yes, it is.
My uncle, pre-VII priest was stationed at one church his entire life as a priest, 60 years.  My father said such was not uncommon when he was a boy.

That occurs in some places even today.
