We can not overlook Fr. Patrick Crane! He just happened to slide over to Phoenix Our Lady of Sorrows, when Sloniker was found. Why should Crane pick up and leave Posst Falls?
As for the 9 priest who left SSPX and made their group, I question all the hurt,pain, sorrows and agony of St. Gertrudes in Ohio. Fr. Ramolla who played principal for a year? and then took on Albert the Great. Then he said let's have a seminary. And what happened? Money came his way, and then, oh, the seminary idea was a failure and Ramolla bought himself a Miter and skipped off to Europe to be with Mom? What a mess! And was there not 2 student seminarians from Europe involved? Again a real mess!
My prayers go out to those families who were put to so much sorrow at St. Gertrudes.
