I'm not naive either and don't believe Irish laity will leave SSPX chapels en masse. Where would I get the sacraments is a valid question but do they see the bigger picture? Their mood seems to be waiting for more signs of betrayal.

I can only speak for myself but will try get to the Mass offered by Fr Bufe. Any suggestions for accommodation could be sent via Private Message. Getting to Mass is going to be quite a pilgrimage but a sign of the times in Ireland.

It's pointless going to chapels where you get deafening silence from the priests.

There is no 'Events' section on Cath Info but as it is in England, I add it here as relevant.

A 'Pilgrimage of Reparation' to Walsingham, the National Shrine of England

Quote

A 'Pilgrimage of Reparation' to Walsingham, the National Shrine of England, will take place on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th July, 2013, to beg God's forgiveness and make reparation for the General Chapter of the SSPX whose unhappy anniversary it is, and to ask that we be spared the evil effects of that same unfortunate General Chapter. We hope that as many Catholics as possible will make the effort to attend, in spite of the relatively short notice - surely Almighty God will richly reward any efforts we make with a pure intention. Having to overcome difficulties of travel, distance etc. will be even more worth the while, since it is a pilgrimage of reparation.
'
A full programme of events will be announced nearer the time, and will be planned to include Saturday and Sunday Mass.
'
Please make a note in your diary now to avoid clashes. We also strongly recommend that those wishing to arrange accommodation do so as soon as possible, as places go quickly in summer. If you would like us to suggest possiblilities for accommodation, please contact us via recusantsspx@hotmail.co.uk
'
Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us!

I haven't been asked to clarify yet but will do now regarding Fr Sherry and Fr Gallagher. Am I saying they have compromised? No but belong to a pious union, who surrendered and compromised formally with the doctrinal declaration.

People can get ratty and bitchy all they like but both priests have been silent. It doesn't mean they are for an agreement or for the doctrinal declaration that has not been withdrawn and bear in mind the points made by The Recusant earlier on the thread.

As as far as I can see Fr Bufe is the only priest in Ireland openly resisting.

Many have said it is not the correct time to be vocal. When is the correct time?

As I said the conference addressed all the questions in the crisis. Attending a Society Mass is a matter for a person's conscience now.

I am certainly not travelling several hours and overnighting to get to Mass just to prove a point. I feel Fr Bufe deserves support.

We can't be silly either but I am quite strong on not attending a Mass offered by Fr Sherry or Fr Gallagher. Those that still attend obviously apply the green,amber, red light approach.

As Father Delaney taught us at school "To thine own self be true".

In my opinion the "place to be" is around Fr Bufe.
