Our SSPX chapel had a French priest who decided that we should all stand, not kneel for the SANCTUS.
I do not have statistics, but it seems anecdotally that many more conservative American priests are being sent over seas to make way for an inundation of more liberal French priests, especially in the leadership positions. It feels like a kind of sly cultural imperialism.
Does anyone else notice such a trend or have access to the statistics?
One Region's Statistics:
5 SSPX US ordained priests.
Came from towns within a 200mi radius (Kentucky & Ohio)
1. Fr. T. Pfieffer -> Asia
2. Fr. J. Pfieffer -> Asia (expelled)
3. Fr. P. Robinson -> Australia
4. Fr. D. Themann -> St. Mary's
5. Fr. Pezzutti -> Latvia
The American priest export ratio in this region was 80%
1. Fr. T. Pfieffer -> Asia
Fr. T. Pfeiffer asked to be sent to the Asia district. When his brother was sent to India, he
wanted to join him because he always wanted to be a true missionary priest.
3. Fr. P. Robinson -> Australia
I understand he is teaching in the seminary there and I have not heard that he has any complaints about his assignment.
