Well, I continue to ponder, who gave $$ to make a freestanding altar for Our Lady of Sorrows?  Our Lady of Sorrows, does she not still have mortgage to pay? Hm? Did she close her doors during the covid time? Hm? How about an award$$ received, related to the covid?  Didn't Our Lady of Sorrows also say yes to a 5G Tower near in the area to help off set costs?  Or was that 5G tower on their property?

I wonder, wonder, IF any of those millions were from Rome?

Hmmm… ?

In watching the SSPX during the past 10 years, they are quietly planning for high growth, when they achieve prelature status, like Opus Dei.

If you’ve noticed, Opus Dei is their rival and a power struggle is going on in Rome over SSPX control.

While always claiming independence, the SSPX will be absorbed by Rome and function as a consiliar highChurch.

Hmm, I've never seen those.

Will Christ still be on the Cross as He reigns as King over Heaven and earth?  That sounds like the resurrection crosses they have in the Novus Ordo.

I knew the Cristo Rey crucifix existed WAY before the Novus Ordo, though I haven't immediately found a history of it.  The picture below is from St. Joseph's Church on Capital Hill in Seattle.  The parish was established in 1907 and the current church built in 1930, dedicated to Christ the King.  My parents were married there in 1950, I and my siblings were baptized there, my maternal grandparents and several other maternal relatives have been buried from this church.  I'm sorry I haven't found more of a close up (I hope to take a trip to Seattle in September and will try and take one) but behind the High Altar is a large mosaic of Christ the King flanked by St. Ignatius Loyola and St. Francis Xavier.  Below the image of Christ the King and above the tabernacle is a Cristo Rey crucifix.  At one time there was a large and very traditional crucifix that hung on the side wall on the epistle side.

I don't think there's a liturgical rule, but switching things "just because" is petty and wrong, imo.  The liturgical norms of a country are important; not everything should be european style.

That's actually an argument we had at the seminary with the French leadership.  Many of them had a disdain and contempt for the US and ignored US customs and imposed French ones instead.  This was not an appropriate attitude.

No doubt.  When they are publishing Modernist treatises like Father Robinson's book, justifying the jab, claiming that 95% of V2 is perfectly good, etc. etc. etc. ... there's almost no substance left in them for opposing V2 and Modernism.  They're just a smells and bells organization at this point without a lick of difference between them and FSSP.  In fact, many FSSP priests were much more vocal in opposign the jab and attacking various Modernist trends than the SSPX has been.
