    Alas, Fr. Fullerton is suited only to make schedules for building maintenance.  In all the years I've known him, from the time spent at seminary, to all of his public statements, not once has he given any indication that he knows a lick about Catholic theology or philosophy ... much less that he actually cares about such matters, or that he has any kind of intellectual side to him.  If there's a man out there who's purely pragmatic (just like the pre-Vatican II Churchmen that Bishop Williamson used to criticize for that very thing, caring about buildings but not so much about the faith or ideas) ... that's John Fullerton in a nutshell.

    Heck, even the various schedules for serving different chapels is ridiculous.  I know of multiple situations where a priest could simply get in his car, drive 90 minutes, and be at the nearby SSPX chapel in plenty of time to have a reasonable Mass time of noon.  As it is, he flies out, and then someone ELSE flies in, so that this chapel ends up with a 4PM Mass time each Sunday.

    Finally, I'm so sick of numerous priories having a half dozen or more priests stationed there where we have several LARGE SSPX missions chapels (several with schools) that get a Sunday Mass and occasional First Friday.  With all the youngsters at these chapels, it would be a very simple matter to foster some vocations by simply having a priest or two stationed there and interracting with the school, etc. ... to say nothing of how the faithful there are "on their own" if they can't way until the weekend to pass away.

    Could they at least try to pretend that they care about souls?

    I could go on about SSPX, especially US District.

    But these are PRECISELY the types the SSPX want in there as superior, those who can't form an independent thought that wasn't fed to them by their superiors if they tried ... or else Modernist heretic types like Fr. Paul Robinson (I do not make that charge of heresy lightly against him), while good brilliant intellectual priests like a Father Kevin Robinson are tucked away at a retreat house answering to obvious inferiors, or like a Father Peter Scott in some mud hut in Africa.
    Ah, poor Father Fullerton.

    Good analysis of a once, Church Militant, now neutered Catholic priestly fraternity. 

    Obviously, there’s an art to building and maintaining a complacent bureaucracy.

    "...Thus, what discord had dispersed, charity would bring it together,..."
    I'll just post this Sermon here, the Church speaks all languages, and I like the part where St Augustine says were not in schism... 



    Excerpt of St Augustine's Sermon on Pentecost.
    Google Translation.

    "...When the disciples asked Him when the end of the world would come, He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons that the Father has set in His power,” and then promised them what is being accomplished today. “You will receive,” He said, “the power of the Holy Spirit coming upon you, and you will be witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

    ...This breath purified the hearts of their sheath straw; this fire consumed the hay of the ancient lust; those languages which the Apostles spoke, filled with the Holy Spirit, foreshadowed the dissemination of the Church by the languages of all nations. For, just as after the flood the impiety of men rose a high tower against the Lord, when the human race deserved to be divided by various languages, so that each nation spoke its own language without being understood by other nations, so the humble piety of the believers brought back to the Church the diversity of those languages. Thus, what discord had dispersed, charity would bring it together, and the dispersed members of a single human genus would be united with each other and with Christ, the sole leader, and would be melted by the fire of love in the unity of this most Holy Body...

    ...But you, my brothers, members of the body of Christ, seeds of unity, children of peace, spend this day in joy, celebrate it in security. For what was spoken in those days when the Holy Spirit came, this is what has been fulfilled in you. For each one of those who then received the Holy Spirit spoke, by himself, every language. So today unity itself speaks every language throughout all nations, this unity in which you possess the Holy Spirit, you who are separated by no schism from the Church of Christ, which speaks every language.

    Sermon CCLXVII

    Since this post, he has been promoted to Nigeria.
    Nigeria? The SSPX may have inadvertently created their first martyr.
