  • Are you in southern IN? Fr Bevan? We are up north at the SSPX chapel in Ft Wayne. We had a good solid priest for 3 years but have struggled with 2 in the last 1 1/2 years. It’s definitely a struggle, lots of prayer and independent study and advice from our old priest who stays in contact with us🙏🏼
    Thanks, I'm just bumping this to get the thread back on track!

  • Archbishop Lefebvre April 26, 1983, Conference to Seminarians, Ridgefield:

    That is another question, another problem. Fr. Stark said himself 'my ordination is good'. I am sure he IS a priest. He has been a priest for eleven years now, I think he is a very intelligent man. Not just because he is a Jesuit, no, no, no...(laughingly) ... but certainly he is a very intelligent man. He was a professor.  He said to me 'My word, somebody is discussing about the validity of my ordination'. They discuss 'No, his ordination is not valid..' Well, that is the reason why I said to you yesterday, or the day before, that we must do an inquisition [a study of each case] to know what the situation really is - in this case - not in all cases in general [i.e., not a blanket judgment]- but in this case, to see if his ordination is valid or invalid. And I am responsible, and I make the decision. I can say to him: 'You must be re -ordained'. Otherwise, if I think that his ordination is valid, really valid, then I have no right to repeat the sacrament.

    You can find these conferences of Archbishop Lefebvre, which have previously been posted on this forum, online in both written format and audio. He delivered them in English, with a little help with the language on the side from a certain Fr Richard Williamson!
    Then Msgr. Lefebvre reversed himself on the matter AS HE OFTEN DID. so much for your mighty replacement Pope, Plenus Venter. Looks to me like "The Nine" were correct in their assessment of Lefebvre.

    We all have to give an account.

    I just stumbled across this review of a book written by Fr Bevan's father. Worth a read drphil if he is going to become your priest:

  • I don't know where to post this.  In Edinburgh, Scotland there is a large 2 bedroom Flat for sale.  My niece and fal=mily moved from there to cuмberland.  This flat is a 20 min. drive from St. Leonard's SSPX, if anyone is interested.

    Hey thanks for that, i'll need to remember to check that out. seems like he comes from a family with a interesting history and has other siblings dedicated to the preservation of the Church's traditions
