"They aim for nothing less than to reshape the face of the American Catholic priesthood."

The same could be said about the SSPX - except they're less liberal than Pope John Paul 2 - and are reshaping not only the American priesthood, but every other continent as well.

The SSPX is reshaping nothing, Phil, except its own small sphere. It's amazing how many integrists think their influence is so much greater than it actually is. 99% of Catholics aren't even aware of the SSPX.

As to Gonzalez, I notice he's a priest in Los Angeles.

Ordained by that mean old lefty, Roger Mahoney.

Why call these good men "conservative"? Would not faithful be a better term?

This must be really bad news for you guys. The Novus Ordo church is supposed to be dying, right? Yet here are these younger priests who are spurning the errors of the modernists, embrace all the teachings of the Catholic Church and love the Pope.

SSPX has convinced itself that it and only it, is the real keeper of orthodoxy and that one day everyone will come running to it when the Novus Ordo falls in a heap of ashes. I doubt it.

God is calling fine young men to the priesthood in the Catholic Church. Lots of them.
