    Traditional Catholics:

    Recently I was shocked to learn from a friend and fellow member of the SSPX Chapel in Roswell, Georgia, that she had received a letter dated August 31, 2016  from our priest which banned my friend from attending future Masses at our Chapel because my friend's medical condition (which causes her to have an occasional minor shoulder twitch) was too much of a "distraction" for other Mass attendees.

    My friend is a very devout person who previously attended Mass at our Chapel on almost a daily basis, and who has supported the Chapel consistently with her donations.  In fact, my friend had been saving up to attend the grand opening of the new SSPX seminary in Virginia this fall.

    My question for Traditional Catholics is:  does an SSPX priest have the authority to ban someone from all SSPX Masses for an involuntary medical condition?
    I know the ADA does not apply to churches, but is this a moral action for a priest to take? What about Christian charity?

    Your response would be greatly appreciated.


    To summarize:

    I received a phone call (and an e-mail letter, posted above) from two men who I have met in person. They received this report from the lady herself, in person. The two men in question are long-time SSPX Traditional Catholics, who have been supporting the Resistance (including Bishop Williamson, Fr. Zendejas, etc.) for some time now. They have been generous supporters of the Resistance, and I would not entertain any suggestion that they would be guilty of slander or lying about something like this.

    You don't make major sacrifices for the Faith one week (go on a double-digit hour road trip to attend a Resistance Mass and meet Bishop Williamson), and then totally throw away your spiritual life the next week. That doesn't happen.

    • If true, the letter should be scanned and posted on every trad message board and website. I hope that this is not a rumor as it is monstrous.

    • Could her nervous tic be that distracting? Does that priest also ban young children because they cry or fidget?

    Please tell your friend to say a prayer of thanks to St. Raymond Nonnatus for the "banning".



    The letter was dated on his Feastday 8/31.
    He was ordained a Spanish Mercedarian priest who had dedicated himself to the redemption of captives.

    Your friend sounds like a pious lady.  Why then was she unjustly refused the Sacraments?

    Was it Fr. Danel, the former independent, now xSPX priest who banned her?
    Could he have not asked her to sit in the back, if it she was so "distracting"?
    I know 5-yr. olds who attend Mass who "twitch" constantly?

    No matter... it is a sign of Divine Providence.  

    Stay out of the xSPX ѕуηαgσgυєs and don't give them your money.

    • It seems to me that +Fellay might help with this problem.  After all, he's trying to make a good impression for Pope Francis, during this "year of mercy" in his "excludes no one" church, so this could be an opportunity to find out what happens when the rubber meets the road.

    Of course, you'll have to take a big chance on whether +Fellay will ever respond to your appeal.

    Maybe it is a misunderstanding or maybe there is more to it than this. You can't know without speaking to this priest. I wouldn't spread anything around until you make sure this is not the case.

    • It was probably very painful for the lady, but it is really a blessing or cross from God. He wants to lead her out of the SSPX as they join the novus ordo and eventually embrace all Thier abominations.

    • Roswellians, in search of the truth, migrate to a more Catholic TLM chapel.

    • The pastor at Roswell should be Fr. Danel, an independent priest associated with the SSPX, and conditionally ordained by Bp. Williamson. He is a good guy. Maybe this lady insists on sitting in the front rows. She should make a deal with the pastor to sit in the back row, that way the distraction is minimized.

    They can go to the parish in Mableton.
