I like traditional architecture too. As poor as the results of revivalism could be at times, they were often spectacular. However, in this case, it's overdone. Particularly all the round towers.

Oh you are correct. I suppose I am just starving for any hint of past architectural glories. Those round towers are ghastly.

Well certainly I love the architecture. That is not necessarily a religious conclusion but more an aesthetic one. Also I like the idea of big and bold traditional Catholicism projecting itself confidently into hostile post-modernist US territory. There is not necessarily anything particularly noble about being in the catacombs when the true faith needs to be openly and confidently professed. This would be a real marker for the continued development of traditional Catholicism. As it stands now, I would not bet on a single thing coming from it.

Those round towers resemble the Disney castle.

And let's pray they don't end up teaching Mickey's hybrid Mass there.

It's amazing that they have so many seminarians, particularly when one of the qualifications nowadays is being a Phlegmatic. :wink:

Fr. Wood certainly seems like a Phlegmatic temperament.

If you don't know the 4 Temperaments, go ahead and Google it. Among other things, Phlegmatic usually entails "passive" and "not a fighter".

He is a classic example of what I speak of when I say, "The new type of Priest the SSPX is looking for".

I kind of feel sorry for his students...we had some really interesting professors when I was there, but I honestly couldn't imagine Fr. Wood keeping the students awake very easily...

Wow! I just watched the video. That Fr. Wood is downright scary.

I agree!

If he's an example of a typical phlegmatic then it must be difficult to distinguish them from ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs.

Quite a bit different than this one, huh?
