It's fair to say most Districts now have a Resistance Chapel/Mass Centre. ..... With a resistance chapel now in most Districts and countries, I would have to question why laity remain with the SSPX.
In all fairness, you must remember that the US is a wee bit bigger than Ireland, so to say we have a Resistance Chapel doesn't mean that it is within reasonable driving distance for everyone.
Yes, it's nice to know that Ireland has a Resistance chapel.
The closest thing to that I have near me is an Irish pub where
they play Irish folk music. Now, while the music is nice and
very enjoyable, and even for someone like me who has never
been to the Emerald Isle, it is in knowing Irish people that
the enchantment of the Isle has been brought to me.
Oh, I have flown over Ireland twice. It's very green down there,
from 30,000 feet up.
Time was Ireland supplied priests and nuns for planet earth. Now,
what we see and hear is an occasional brogue, a drinking song,
a step dance, or an Australian Irish ballad, like
"If We Only Had
Old Ireland Over Here."BTW you can read all about it
over HERE.
We should be encouraging Resistance Mass centers, for there
are many people who might be willing to attend if they only knew
of one nearby. But as it is, for numerous people in the western
USA, it is a 5 hour drive or more, to the closest one. So it's an
all day event, and the fuel tank eats up $120.00 if you get 20
MPG. Some cars get less than that. At some point, it's cheaper
to fly an airplane to Mass. At least it's more time efficient.
We have a lot more so-called independent chapels, and we have
CMRI too. So for the moment, we scrape by..
..while the hungry beast of the Apocalypse breathes down our
collective necks. Sometimes it seems to be
a fire-breathing dragon......................
