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.
Archbishop Gomez is acting in a way we would wish all bishops to act. He is the ordained and consecrated successor of the apostles of Jesus. He is responsible for the actions of his helpers, his priests. Yet he probably doesn't even know these SSPX priests. He certainly hasn't given them permission to preach in his diocese and he certainly hasn't given them the function to hear confessions, so as far as he should be concerned, they are acting in an illegal, disobedient, and unaccountable manner. Any man who claims to be a Roman Catholic priest should be accountable to the bishop. Yet the SSPX priests operate in a manner that completely opposes ecclesial authority. Archbishop Gomez is right to obstruct such men, and until the phantom motu proprio appears, either rescinding, clarifying, or expanding " Ecclesia Dei" every bishop who confronts the SSPX will be in the right.
