If not for the Grace of God and the efforts of those first Catholics who "resisted" in the wake of Vatican II, the Catholic Church would not be with us in the traditional sense it is today. How blessed we are to have been given persons with the guts to do the "right" things. The actions of Bp. Thuc, Abp. Lefebvre, Fr. DePauw, Fr. McNamara and many others allowed for pockets of very good Catholics to survive in some very "bad" places in the world.

We ought to pray very much in thanksgiving, and continue the Catholic example shown to us by our Fathers. In the midst of great adversity, sometimes guts is the greatest asset of all, (after the Faith of course).

It took the priests to make it work.

Wessex, I believe that +Williamson did not exit with a large chunk of the English speaking world because he has never stood up and said "Follow Me!". I've spoke to a few SSPX priests about a year ago now. Some of the comments they made about the Resistance was "They don't even have a Bishop. For any religious order to vialble, they must have a Bishop".

I think things have settled a bit, but had +Williamson stood up strong, I'm thinking that perhaps the number of resistance priests would be larger.

Just my 2 cents.

Hopefully the new seminary will turn out well.

I'm guessing that we know which one you are talking about, but it might be safest to clarify, as in "the new Kentucky seminary".
