As far as him joining the resistance, I have never heard him criticize the resistance and I know that one of the resistance priests (I believe it was Father Hewko) mentioned that Father Doran was rather conservative and he wondered aloud in one of his sermons that Father Doran might join the resistance. I know that Father Doran still speaks well of Bishop Williamson and does not treat him like a pariah.

I thought that I heard that Fr. Doran was at ICC in Post Falls, ID. Someone said he preached at one of the Sunday Masses, and that he pulled no punches.

Father Doran was Prior at ICC for five years back in the 1990's. I still have many tapes of his incredible sermons while he was there. These were the building years when the Dominicans were starting their school in Post Falls and people began moving there in droves. Father was very much a part of and responsible for much of the growth of that area. And, yes, "he pulled no punches" but his spiritual strength caused that community to flourish. It hasn't been equaled since.

Wasn't he pretty isolated in NY too though? I had that impression.

He lives with another priest in Long Island named Father Grosche (I am sorry, I do not know how to spell his name) and they alternate saying Mass at my chapel.

Ok, thank you.

If I had to guess which priests would be objective in their views of the developments in the SSPX in the past decade, and also sympathetic towards the Resistance, Fr Doran would be one. Whether that translates into them believing it is God's will that they join is a different story.
