Even a Dead Lefebvrist Can't Hope for the Clemency of an Old Liberal

He desired that a Priest of the Society of Pius X would say a Requiem in his parish church. Had he been protestant, he would have had no problem.

[Kreuz.net] In the middle of July François died in the village of Troistorrents in the southwest of Switzerland.

Troistorrents is a 4000-soul community in the extreme west of the southwest Swiss Canton of Wallis.

The deceased had lived his entire life in the village. He was an adherent of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X.

Troistorrents is located 44k west of Ecône, where the french speaking Pius seminary is located.

The parish priest did the right thing. The SSPX have no rights to the parish.

[0beron]

No, but someone who’s spent his entire life there might. In any event, had he been a Calvinist apostate, they would have more likely accommodated him.

How are you saying they would have accomodated him if he was a Calvinist apostate? Are you saying that they would have allowed a Calvinist minister to say his funeral mass in the Catholic Church?

[0beron]

Yes, I know, that almost never happens. It might amaze you, but protestant heretics are often treated far better by the liberal Hierarchy than are real Catholics like this man.
