This is a "traditional" Catholic parish, where Fr. Themann was invited to speak in the auditorium.
In his speech, he talked about the definition of truth for 30 minutes. Then he talked endlessly
about the false concept that it would be prudent to make an agreement with Rome. This took
place before Fr. Rutledge arrived. It took place when Fr. Beck was in charge. Fr. Beck has said
that Fellay's dealings with Rome is none of the laity's business.
And Fr. Rutledge has criticized the Resistance in sermons at Sunday Mass, saying the people in
the Resistance make rash judgments based on appearances only. It sounds like he is making
rash judgments about the Resistance.
For most of these SSPX people and SSPX priests, tradition means Latin Mass and not much more.
Soon it may be the Latin Mass department of the heretical New Religion in Rome. Maybe it
already is.
These SSPXers are anxious to lose their label as schismatics and be accepted by the mainstream
Catholics. And they think that they will convert Rome AFTER they make an agreement.
The children, here in Saint Marys, think the SSPX was founded by St. Pius X.
