A thread to track SSPX priest movements this year.
1. Fr. Robert Brucciani (District Superior of Great Britain) moving to Menzingen.
His new role is to help the General House in “administration”, but it’s more than that. It’s principally to learn German. English by birth, with an Italian grand-father hence the surname, and schooled in France. This move is to prepare him for the episcopal consecrations slated for next year.
2. Fr. David Sherry (District Superior of Canada) moving to London.
His new role will be District Superior of Great Britain. Ireland is still a sub-district of Great Britain. Irish by birth, Fr. Sherry had spent time in Ireland prior to his departure for Canada. The idea behind this move is to counter Bp. Ballini in Ireland by making him D.S. of both GB and IRE. The thinking is that Irish traditionalists would be more accepting of an Irish D.S.
Fr. Francois Laisney is “Menzingen’s Man” in London who was sent to oversea this transition.
