‘This Catholic contingent is member of what would be considered a “renegade” chapel in San Antonio that belongs to the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX). The SSPX is considered to be in a “schismatic” status since they adhere to the Traditional Rite of the Catholic Mass that was celebrated before the changes of the Second Vatican Council.’
Where does Bishop Garcia fall in our list of good/bad Bishops? Not too impressed by this action certainly. I’m guessing the Traditional Catholics were SSPX.
Probably better to wait a little while on this story to see if its legit.
But it’s probably true.

Were I to say in full what I think regarding the reported actions of his lordship, Abp Gomez, I would be kicked off this forum.
I am so very tired of the hypocracy of this bishop and the multitude of others like him. I am afraid that he knows little about the Catholic faith and the Liturgy of his ancestors and he is IMO ill-suited for the position he holds. He sounds like a typical affirmative action appointee. Were I in his archdiocese, I would contribute not one nickel to support his mismanagement of the Church’s temporal resources.
Those Catholics who attend SSPX Masses have repeatedly been the object of persecution by the agents of Satan, who hold so much power in todays church.
We must pray for them and their persecutors.
With all due respect, this statement is patently false. Its practice of the TLM has absolutely nothing to do with the SSPX's irregular status with the Church.( God forbid ). This is made evident in the motu proprio, " Ecclesia Dei ", in which the pope exhorts the bishops to make the TLM readily available.
Would the Society permit the bishop to celebrate mass in their chapel? That is perhaps the surest sign of communion.
The marchers should have brought along a liberal pro-abort politician to receive in their behalf.
