I'm no fan of the modernist and feminist tendencies in the sspx, but since when did we suffer women to teach? Fr John Brucciani was diplomatic in not revealing the scandal, but this sister out of no provocation kicks up a huge scandal and uses it as a platform to express her feelings, detract others, try to teach and make herself out to be a martyr. She is a modernist and feminist, not realising the best course when you have differences especially considering her state in life as a sister is to meekly and silently undergo persecution like our lady did.
Don't let your hate for the sspx or novus ordo make you quick to praise this "brave" feminist speaking her mind when no one asked her to.
If the resistance is attracting people like her to it then I can quickly see its chapels being dominated by disobedient feminist women.

Dear Chrysostom-

You are right to be on your guard against the feminism currently running rampant in, and being promoted by, the SSPX, but wrong to impute it to Sr. Mary-Elizabeth:

The Pauline injunctions against women teaching apply to women teaching men, not children.

Were this not the case, the Church could not instruct mothers to teach their children, nor could it have authorized the once-great teaching orders such as the collapsed School Sisters of Nortre Dame, (nor would the SSPX have Sisters teaching children), etc.

If, on the other hand, you are attempting to construe Sr. Mary-Elizabeth's letter as an example of the public instruction of men, and accusing her on this mistaken basis of being a feminist and modernist, perhaps you should have realized that what is published above in the OP was a private letter to some parents of her students who had asked for an explanation.

It was one of these parents who, of their own volition, published the letter on the internet, and not as an agent of Sr. Mary-Elizabeth, or at her request.

Pax tecuм,

This is satire, right??

Additional information:

http://op54rosary.ning.com/forum/topics/prayer-for-parents-being-interviewed-by-fr-j-brucciani

"Please could you pray for parents being interviewed by Fr John Brucciani. They have been warned that their place in the school and parish is jeapordised because they withdrew their children the morning of the conciliar Bishop's visit. The new school policy that parents must sign says that parents must respect the Pope and Diocesan Bishop.  Please pray that they do and say the thing that God wants."

Interestingly, while Sr. Mary-Elizabeth was explaining to inquiring parents the reasons for her departure, foremost among which was her “conviction that the Society was no longer protecting the faithful from the modernist church” and teaching the children that the conciliar bishop was “a man of good will, that he was not bad,” and reiterating that “a modernist bishop is not a harmless preacher.  He carries about him all of the harmful spirit of Vatican II, destructive of the Catholic Faith,” and that “the children’s trust was captured for the benefit of a person unworthy of it,” and that she “would not be able to protect the children’s faith any more from this subtle poisoning of their faith,” Fr Brucciani was telling the world pretty much the opposite, in the pages of The Remnant’s “Letters to the Editor” (The Remnant Speaks):

“This latest governmental challenge illustrates well the plight of Catholic families in the U.K. It is incredibly difficult to find a suitable school. It is only a matter of time before the ongoing government debate around home-schooling ends in new laws that further curtail parental rights. I write in the hope that Remnant Readers will pray for the only school left in England whose parents can entrust their children knowing that they will come to no harm. St. Michael’s School has now been in existence for thirty years and it is the only Traditional Catholic School in the land. As the battle intensifies, we are looking for spiritual support and financial help to keep up the good fight and to form tomorrow’s Catholic leaders. Who knows? The good Lord may inspire a reader to inquire further and reach out. Meanwhile, although thousands of miles away, please pray for us here in England, that we can continue to help preserve our children’s innocence.

Fr. John Brucciani Headmaster, St. Michael’s School Burghclere, U.K.”

The Remnant (3/31/19, p.3)

Fr. Brucciani’s plea is doubly rich when one recalls the immoral school policy, twice posted and removed from the school website (only after public scandal ensued), endorsing much of the very same immorality he alludes to above!  

Which of the two contenders above do you sense holding to a greater fidelity to the faith and tradition?

In whose school would you feel more confident your children would "come to no harm:" One run by the SSPX and Fr. Brucciani, or one run by Sr. Mary-Elizabeth?

You are a fool. Your rubbish doesn't even deserve a response.

It is 100% Catholic and 100% traditional for nuns to teach children. That is in keeping with God's natural order. Adults (male and female) are in authority over, and ABOVE, all children -- both male and female. That is how God designed things. I'll give you a hint: the family. Both mother AND father have authority over all their children, both male and female.

You sound like some kind of barely Catholic misogynist. You are letting  your hatred of women warp your thinking.
