  • According to the SAJM website: https://sajm-siteofficiel.blogspot.com/2022/12/m-labbe-picot-rejoint-la-sajm.html


    "Fr. Remi Picot has joined the SAJM.

    We are happy to inform you that on December 8, feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin, Father Rémi Picot made his first commitment to the SAJM.

    Father Picot (French) was ordained in the SSPX in 2009.

    He had left the latter in 2014 because of its liberal drift.

    DEO GRATIAS!"

    Note: Some may recall Fr. Picot served under Fr. Chazal in the Philipines, but had to return to France because of severe illness (denga), and would not be able to return to that tropical climate.

    Here is the current membership list (along with home country of origin) for the SAJM, as of today: https://sajm-siteofficiel.blogspot.com/2022/12/les-membres-de-la-sajm-actuellement.html

    S.E. Mgr Christian Jean-Michel Faure (France)
    S.E. Mgr Gerardo Zendejas (Mexique - États-Unis)

    M. l'abbé Jean Baptiste Brocard (France)
    M. l'abbé Alois Brühwiler (Suisse)
    M. l'abbé Daniele Chirico (Italie)
    M. l'abbé Stéphane Grenon (Suisse)
    M. l'abbé Deivid Nass (Brésil)
    M. l'abbé Etienne Perez (France)

    M. l'abbé Rémi Picot (France)
    M. l'abbé Paul Rousseau (France)
    M. l'abbé René Trincado (Chili - Croatie)

    6 séminaristes

    Oblates:
    Sœur Marie-Elisabeth (France)
    Sœur Maria Salomé (Thaïlande)
    Soeur Dorothée (Allemagne)

    Membres décédés:
    M. l'abbé Maurice Duployez (France)



    Here's some pics from the December 8 ceremony:













    We don't have 79 seminarians who prefer authority to truth, but we do have 2 bishops, 9 priests, 3 oblates, and 6 seminarianss wwho prefer truth to authority.

    Slowly, we grow with a trustworthy group of hardcore apostles of Christ.

  • Why don’t you ask him?

    Well, I'm sure you know that this is a bit of an oversimplification.  These 79 could have just gone with FSSP, or most of them could have.  There's probably a blend of reasons they're there.  I'd love to know what percentage are simply Cradle SSPXers that just went through the system, SSPX schools, St. Mary's, et al.  If that's the case, they probably don't even fully understand what the problem is here with the Conciliar Church except for an irreverent and perhaps theologically and pastorally not-as-good Liturgy.  Theologically, they probably have very few differences with the Conciliar Church.  Some probably don't know much about why the Resistance split off ... probably have been told that it's just a group of αnтι-ѕємιтєs who followed that one bishop who denied the h0Ɩ0cαųst (and that's what this is really about).

  • What happened to his beard?

    Sherlock Holmes might deduce that he shaved it off?

    Perhaps you're wondering why he shaved it?

    Part of that might be where in the world you're working of course.  In some parts of the world, a man without a beard is considered effeminate, while in others it demonstrate brutish lack of civility (aka barbarism).  Or maybe he just didn't like the look of it and wanted a change.

    I know one Traditionalist Bishop/Priest who disliked giving Holy Communion to men with beards (as he feared Particles of the Sacred Host getting in their beards).

    IMO, however, there are very few men who don't look more masculine and virile and don't command more respect when they have some facial hair ... especially those of us with, uhm, well, certain challenges regarding hair on top of our heads (I think of it as God's tonsure).

    Wow, that's a pretty harsh statement. Do you really think this describes the mainstream SSPX?

    I thought that SSPX priests were forbidden to sport a beard:confused:

    I would presume that the SAJM would mirror this rule too.

    Is there really a rule for this?

    Yes, there certainly was when I was in the seminary in the late 80s.
    All members had to be clean shaven unless they were assigned to missionary countries where men without beards command no respect as religious leaders - India I know of for sure.
    There was one non-missionary priest I recall obtained special permission from his superiors to grow a beard because of his very fair skin and issues with skin cancers.
    Fr Picot was a missionary in Africa when he left the SSPX for the Resistance, and then he was with Fr Chazal in the Philippines. However, he is now back in France which probably explains both why he has joined the SAJM and why he has lost his beard!

    Meet Julius Caesar. He conquered a good chunk of Europe. He looks pretty manly to me. (Actually he looks quite a bit like me, now that I notice it. :laugh1:)

    There's some cultural subjectivity to it obviously.  Some cultures would find him to be effeminate.  And there's no doubt he'd look even MORE "manly" if he had facial hair ... unless of course your culture consider that to be a sign of being an uncivilized barbarian.

    Still, uncivilized barbarians usually look manly and menancing.

    By they way, what culture currently considers bearded man uncivilized?

    Fr. Salenave is based in France too but he is with Fr. Chazal rather than the SAJM. How exactly does it work and what are the differences?

    Fr. Salenave is not with Fr. Chazal's MCSPX, but with Bishop Faure's SAJM in France.

    Fr. Chazal has no operations in Europe, and the SAJM has no operations in the Pacific.

    Obviously both groups are on friendly terms, and there is communication and collaboration between the two (e.g., ordinations; confirmations; fundraising; etc), but they are distinct bodies with distinct membership.  I believe in the early days of the formation of both groups (2015-2016), there may have been 1-2 cases of "dual membership," and Fr. Salenave was one of those instances.
