Arlington diocese delegate: Fr. Bjorn Lundberg

    • The bishop of the diocese of Arlington, Burbidge, has appointed Fr. Lundberg as his delegate to implement the  policies of Traditionis Custodes "to lead the faithful who are attached to the antecedent liturgy towards the celebration of the liturgy according to the liturgical books reformed by decree of the Second Vatican Council, and which form the unique expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite." (see attached bishop's letter, point #9)

    As explained in an article by CNA: 
    Delegate named
    Burbidge named Father Bjorn Lundberg, pastor of Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Winchester, as his delegate “to assist with the implementation of this policy and to oversee the pastoral and spiritual care of the faithful who are impacted by it.”

    “While these new norms will bring some change to the places and times of worship, I ask all in our diocese to maintain a spirit of unity and fidelity,” Burbidge said in a letter accompanying the new policy.

    “The promulgation of Traditionis Custodes recalls for all of us, Christ's faithful, the Second Vatican Council's teaching found in the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium: ‘Liturgical services are not private functions, but are celebrations of the Church, which is the “sacrament of unity,” namely, the holy people united and ordered under their bishops,'" the policy states.

    “For this reason, we ask the Holy Spirit to increase his gifts of unity and peace within the universal Church and within our local church. Let us pray with ever greater fervor that God Our Father will be pleased to grant her peace, and guard, unite and govern her throughout the whole world."

    This Fr. Lundberg is who the SSPX has good relations with, and who recommends their faithful to contact in sacramental emergencies? :facepalm:

    • Another troubling aspect is that Fr. Lundberg is more than likely a member of Opus Dei.  His parents do not hide the fact that they are members, Fr. Lundberg went to Christendom College, worked for Vatican Radio, EWTN, Catholic Answers (all Opus Dei connected organizations) and likes to quote Jose Maria Escriva in his "homilies" (I've personally witnessed that). 

    So the question is why does the SSPX have "good relations" with him?  Are they naive, clueless, or complicit?  It's disturbing any way you slice it.

    It seems to be the standard policy of the SSPX now to seek good relations and cooperation with local dioceses unless the local authorities are over-the-top progressives.

    Good relations is one thing but referring them for sacraments is another thing entirely.  If that is their new policy, then they have no business operating on supplied jurisdiction in this diocese.

    Dear CathSarto
    What if the SSPX does not need to "operate on supplied jurisdiction" in any diocese--it's just that we, the laity, don't know about it yet!
