Thanks, Cristera. My Spanish is not that good, but it appears from the reading of the link you provided, that the prior made personal phone calls to all the sspx faithful. warning them that if they attended Fr. Grosso's Mass they would not be welcome back to the sspx chapel. If this is true, it is so much in keeping with the heavyhanded policy which the Society has adopted under Fellay & Co.

One can think of a few possible causes for this:

7) The fading away of the old guard and of memory

This is a SERIOUS issue!! A few years ago, many of the old guard passed away, one after another.

And then there is the lack of Sisters everywhere they are supposed to be.

The holy mysteries of Catholicism seem to be circling the drain at times.

Exactly, that's what happened.

And I know from a good source that a few months ago, several seminarians from La Reja were expelled because they made questions about the Fellay policy.

I can say with confidence that it seems "they" are looking for a different kind of seminarian (and hence, a different kind of priest) post-Bishop Williamson. They are looking for less fiery, less eccentric, less "choleric" or leader-type individuals. That is my personal experience and opinion. Take it for what it's worth.

Those are the kinds of priests we encounter at our chapel. So I think you're right on. They want priests who either know little about what is going on in the present world politically and socially, or don't care. They keep their heads down, deliver innocuous milktoast sermons and hope they can pass through the present crisis without gathering too much negative attention or publicity.

:applause: Very well put! You just put into words my exact feelings and experiences of SSPX where I live.

Hope is beginning to fade.
