[Hermann the Cherusker]

Generally, I think the problems people have with the SSPX is not the laity attending, but some of the clergy.

[ultima ratio]

I don't buy this. Most SSPX clergymen are hard-working, pious priests who travel many weary miles over several states to get to as many chapels as possible every Sunday. They hear confessions for hours at a time, live in genuine poverty, and must contend with vicious slanders of the sort that EWTN publishes without so much as a feint toward fairness. Persecution is a reality for them--just as Christ promised. What is offensive is that it comes from bigoted fellow-Catholics such as this Fr. Lewis.
