You have to go to the grocery store...you don't have to go to an amusement park...
unless you're seeking to be "like regular folks"

You are making mountains of molehills. Theoretically, these priests don't need to go anywhere. They can have layfolk shop for them. Just keep em locked up in their rooms, blindfold them in cars to go to Mass centers, and it's all good, right?

I think the attitude of some here are overly rigorous. No one has ever been required to give up all pleasure and recreation as penance.

Not even the most strict monasteries forced monks to only use freezing cold water, sleep on nails, eat stale bread and water, etc.

The teaser at the top of this website says
A place for SSPX ...

I've never seen a website or forum display such contempt for the SSPX and their priests.

Perhaps Matthew could change the header.

It's not the fact of the matter as such.

I mean, look, some of these men are still being formed. Could it possibly be justified to do this during Lent? Maybe, possibly probably, but why do it in the first place during Lent? Bad example for the priest that's being formed and the laity.

Unless maybe they did it on a first class feast, like St Joseph's feast day or something.

And then of course it sets a poor example for the laity too, for the same reason.

My complaint doesn't arise from this one topic. It arises from the entire sentiment from his forum. It is very antisspx and it scrutinizes every action they make as somehow contrary to God and the Faith and ergo mortal sin and spitting in the eye of ABL. Every little thing they do isn't good enough for these holier than thou keyboard warriors who know far more than these priests.

Besides, did anyone read the article? There were some foreigners visiting? Maybe the SSPX priests wanted to show the visitors a fun time at a novel american theme park with big sea creatures and fun. Oh no. I forgot, we need to go around in sackcloth and tell our visitors that they need to do so as well and to not have any fun. Ever. Because fun is sinful.

People need to get over themselves.

:rolleyes:
This smiley doesnt express half of my sentiment.
