I cannot say that I know what is is Fr. Angles' mind concerning the "deal". I have not asked him. But unlike many of you who seem to know his every motive, I know him well. And I would like to take to task those of you who say that Fr. Angles wants a deal because he is old and he wants comforts.
For your information, Fr. Angles was born into wealthy Spanish family of nobles. He renounced the inheritance of a title and much, much more to become a lowly seminarian in the outcast Society of St. Pius X. If he was so desperate for comfort he would have returned to the "castle" a long time ago.
With his mind, talents, resources and connections, he could have spent his entire career in the Vatican if that is what he had wanted. If he is for a deal, he must believe there are some pretty compelling reasons. But surely his comfort is not even one of them. And by the way, he is not old. He suffers rheumatoid arthritis that sometimes causes him to need a cane, but that is not related to age.
I find it insulting to read that someone said they saw him because no one else at the Vatican has his profile. Right. What utter nonsense. More gossip. Let's see how much damage we can do to a good priests reputation, you know, so that the faithful will lose confidence in him. That is certainly a diabolical project.
May Our Holy Mother wrap Her mantle around Fr. Angles and all of the good priests of Tradition, wherever they are found. Amen!
