They probably didn’t pay 50m.  I’m sure some “payoffs” happened off books.  Maybe even money laundering.  50m is just a fairytale.

I agree with Ladislaus.  I came to Tradition 25 years ago witnessing the decline of the SSPX.  The older priests mainly focused on tradition, VII errors and saving souls, while many of the younger priests seem to be focused on fellowship and praising Leo. Short, boring sermons to overflowing chapels with people just begging to hear the truth, but instead short sermon, short Mass with lots of time set aside for pot lucks and socializing.  Some of the younger priests tone down the choirs and encourage congregational singing (bring earplugs for that).  I'm very close to the end of the line for my attending the local SSPX chapel after all these years actively involved.  i'm praying for a miracle, but the death spiral is obvious.

I don’t “get it” that Bp. Fellay doesn’t “get it.”  Why would he want to use a n.o. church building?  Why not use a big Protestant mega church if it’s space he’s after?  Or rent a gym, a room at room at the Y? 
What’s in it for him?  For SSPX?  Wouldn’t it be better to use secular space than a space dedicated to a false god, even if those who regularly attend there do so in ignorance? 
Is it money? Brownie points with the n.o. bishop?  A desire to see the SSPX as part of the pantheon of “catholic” ecuмania?  Has he lost the Faith? Did he ever have faith in the first place?  WWALD?
p
After Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre’s death, the SSPX immediately entered irreversible decline; by the early 2000s Bishop Fellay had already accepted Vatican II, as explicitly admitted in Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos’ 2002 letter, under sustained internal influence, especially from Fr. Franz Schmidberger, the April 15, 2012 Doctrinal Declaration constituted an official, written, and never-retracted doctrinal betrayal; and Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre’s SSPX definitively ceased to exist at the July 14, 2012 General Chapter, when the Society itself issued its statement and sent it to Rome, such that from that moment forward the organization calling itself the SSPX is not Lefebvre’s Society but the Conciliar SSPX, properly called the Neo-SSPX.

So, speaking of religious facilities for sale ... I found this one here, and this is their "chapel".  They also have a 8 total buildings on 60 acres, one building with about 90 rooms (for residents), another one with 67+ rooms for residents, a central building they call a mansion, which it is, a large classroom building for a school (would function as seminary classrooms) with 35,000 square feet, many other buildings 100s of thousands of square feet in total.

I contacted them.  Do you know what they're asking for it?  NINE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

I'd love to see if we couldn't put together a consortium in order to buy this facility.

Here's a picture of their chapel, and it's one amazing building after another on 62 acres.

Lad, maybe you missed the thread I started a few days ago, but the prior at Post Falls gave a sermon this past Sunday informing the laity that Switzerland just approved plans to move forward on a $60mm new church and campus 5 miles from where they are located now. I am a pretty decent "numbers" guy. I cannot see how they can financially pull this off in the 5 years they are proposing. IC had half the attendance of St Marys and their project was $48mm. 

This is insane money being spent. Who subsidizing the Society?

Does anyone have some kind of rough estimate?  For the 'larger' USA projects it looks like:

45 million - Immaculata, St. Mary's
30 million - Seminary
60 million - Post Falls parking lot

That's 135 million dollars and they're looking for something in Florida?  What about outside the US?  That is a fat chunk of change.  Not sure why they can't afford to pay their teachers a decent wage but, hey, I'm just a layman.
