Quote from: BenzelNishant says:"The SSPX... directly supports close to a million faithful"1,000,000? Maybe 10,000. Can you prove the million?If you dispute this figure or any of the holy, humble but intellectual stuff put out by "Nishant" then you've got to be suffering from DIABOLICAL BITTER ZEAL man!. An American SSPX priest once put the number of faithful in the US at "about 20,000". A French priest said that in France there were "about 80,000". Let's leave "Nishant" to provide the rest of the numbers.

So...The question, today, December 7th 2015, is: Who will be the first to post the announcement? If there even is an announcement, it should be made well before Americans awake.
This is amusing. For the benefit of posters who may not know, AJNC has publicly accused me of being Fr. Laisney. Now, I respect Fr. Laisney, so I can't say I'm offended; on the contrary, he's a good and faithful priest, so I'm honored. But the truth, of course, is that Nishant is my real name, (Matthew and a few others know my second name), I'm not Fr. Laisney, and a moment's thought, or a simple PM to Matthew or even to me would have confirmed that for "AJNC". But since he insists on talking past me, let me tell him, I am not a priest, though I seriously discerned a vocation to the priesthood under the guidance of a traditional priest about 2 years ago. I - like many others here who have clearly stated as much - owe a lot the SSPX and I'm sure would, if we were so called, be filled with measureless gratitude to serve or have one of our sons serve God in the traditional Catholic priesthood in an SSPX seminary.I don't have the statistics at hand, though I vaguely recall seeing it cited somewhere as an estimated 1.2 million traditional Catholics who depend on the Society's worldwide apostolate. That's probably an inflated number; I don't have the source at hand and will have to recheck it; I apologize if I was mistaken on that. I am not, however, any of those other things you accused me of being, but have never claimed to be and so don't have to answer that.
But the truth, of course, is that Nishant is my real name...
For whatever it's worth, according to their own website the SSPX Stats for 2012 say 25,000 in the USA and 600,000 total.

I would set my alarm for early tomorrow morning to hear the first news out of the Vatican but I am betting this is just another Pfeiffer/Hewko inspired bust so I'll stick with my beauty sleep.

Wegner back on Oct. 31 when he said, "Don't be surprised to wake up one morning and Pope Francis has accepted us!" We'll see.
