Even if the priest isn't literally living in Australia doesn't mean there is no CMRI presence there. Don't be ridiculous.
In any case, the bishop in Lincoln thinks he has a priest in Australia. So take it up with him. He also says he has a priest in Russia. Can the SSPX say that?
Not only that, but these CMRI priests are picking up vocations. I met one deacon from the Philippines who's going to be ordained this year, as I recall. He's a very impressive man. His Latin is absolutely impeccable, and I told him how impressed I am with that. I was also impressed at his meekness when I gave him this compliment. He turned it right over to the professor who taught him, to him goes all the credit, he said. With young priests like that, there are going to be more vocations in the Philippines, IMHO.

Oh! Thanks for the tip about the Bishop of Lincoln. Is that the Novus Ordo Bishop of Lincoln? He
thinks he has a priest in Australia. That's pretty exciting! Is he on holidays here?
