“I provide this so that you can motive to PRAY! PRAY NOW! that before the end of the month, Rome and SSPX can take these mutual steps toward each other.”
Couldn’t agree more.
I have heard that some SSPX affiliated faithful are becoming quite clannish due to their de facto segregation from other Catholics. If true, the longer this goes on, the worse it will get.
I had the privilege to attend several SSPX Masses in Phoenix when I was stationed at Luke AFB from 1984-1986. It was a pleasure to escape the liturgical zoo, which existed then in the Phoenix Diocese. I remain grateful to the SSPX for that opportunity. My previous assignment had been Mt. Home AFB in the Boise Diocese, at that time under His Excellency Bishop Sylvester Ryan, which if anything was worse than Phoenix.
“I have heard that some SSPX affiliated faithful are becoming quite clannish due to their de facto segregation from other Catholics.”
Some. Others are now seeing the positive fruits of the Motu Proprio and feeling much more secure in their faith. More the NO faithful are seeing the SSPX congregants as far less ‘out there’ since they have finally learned that the Latin Mass has never been suppressed (at least de jure).
Was Fr. Burfitt the priest there?
