I don't think these transfers have anything to do with considering what's best for the faithful. The needs of the faithful in a given chapel setting are not taken into consideration at all. This is a leadership maneuver, designed, I believe anyway, to keep sspx priests from growing too comfortable in a parish, and become semi- independent; to keep priests and faithful from growing too attached to one another; to sow continual uncertainty in the minds of priests, and to always maintain them in a state of insecurity about both their present and future with the organization. It's a conscious, deliberate technique, I think, to control priests and keep them in line; to remind them that they operate only by Menzingen's indulgence, and that their situations might change dramatically at any moment in time; to prevent some, perhaps, from undertaking any organized resistance from within. It's all, quite frankly, very Stalinesque.

Yes, I believe you are right. The faithful are not a consideration in this longstanding policy. It would appear to be a control issue as you surmise. The short term assignments give no time for any significant alternate loyalties to develop, leaving apprehension the next Menzingen dictate as the focus of the faithful and the priests.
Menzingen wishes to keep its resources mobile and liquid.

Yes, for purposes almost exclusively, it would seem, of protecting and shielding their supreme leader from embarrassment and exposure. He is the grand poobah, the queen bee, the exalted Kalif whose person must be protected and preserved at all costs. Priests and faithful alike are expendable. They are merely cannon fodder in the great scheme of things.
But aren't they to blame, at least in part? After all, they put up with him. They give him permission, either actively or passively, to act as he does.

Fr wagner said fr doran was going to New Orleans New Chapel. i didnt even know they had a new chapel

Yesterday Father Doran told us he will be going to New Orleans in August. He also told us that they are closing the priory in Long Island and that now our priests will come from Ridgefield instead of Long Island.
