What I am saying is, the only nearly 'Local' (singular) Society mass, is in NYC. Which is not what you portrayed.

See #38.

Otherwise more of you SSPX voluptuaries would leave the Essex House.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, you're keenly aware of every little detail, allright.

[Mike Fieschko]

The St. Anthony's website says nothing of your new Archbishop.

Didn't know there was one. I do know there are sites about St Anthony's maintained by individuals. Link?

Don't believe everything you (don't) read on the internet. : D

Good point.

the Essex House

On Northfield across from the Zoo? Their brunch is ok.

Is the parking garage finished?

[sempertrad]

No, there is no guarantee, that in 2.5 years time, after everything had been ceded, they could theoretically close the Parish, and take their booty. That was the problem

Fr. Fullerton addressed your concern. Yes, the SSPX has sold off buildings and properties - to purchase/build larger chapel(s) in the same areas after the original chapel(s) could no longer amply hold the increasing number of Mass-goers. Big difference between taking cash and abandoning the flock (which is what you're concerned about), and making their chapels bigger and better for the existing and growing flock (which is what they've done in the past.)

The web page is

What is the Essex house? What town is it in? And why is everyone talking about it?

[hobbes1]

It's around the block from St.Anthony's. And it currently Hosts the 9:00 w/Fr.Murphy.

When that one was inviting you to Fairlfield, he as basiclly luring you on a drive....lol

[hobbes1]

Look, aside from the not staffing the Parish, etc....THe demand of a take it or leave it decision, does not inspire confidence.

[hobbes1]

Yes, that's place.

[csbyrnes84]

lol, that would have been a pretty good prank.

[Viva Christo Rey]

I see the thread was noted by CTAC:

Catholic Tradition and Counterrevolution

Hi RF, DM, GS et al ;-)

[hobbes1]

Don't believe everything you don't read on the internet.
Good point.

Well, normally it would be, except one would think that the SSPX itself, would have a somewhat vested interest in making available the times and places that the intersted faithful could attend....lol

[csbyrnes84]

I believe this is their web page,

[Mike Fieschko]

What is the Essex house? What town is it in?

A restaurant on westbound Northfield between Prospect and PV Way. One of its buildings looks like / was an old railroad car.

And why is everyone talking about it?

Beats me. Why do birds sing so gay? And lovers await the break of the day?

one would think that the SSPX itself, would have a somewhat vested interest in making available

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Tell me more.

[sempertrad]

What is this talk of a VFW mass in Fairfield? Is that being said by the SSPX? Is that a regular mass?

Yes. It was announced that the SSPX will provide the Mass and all other Sacraments for the group from now on. The only thing that's still up in the air is if all Masses will consistantly be held at the VFW (like Fr. Wickens had a standing spot at the Legion hall years ago). Masses are held in the general area when the VFW is unavailable, however...

[hobbes1]

Sundays Only at 9, or HDO, as well ?

Thanx.

For those from CTAC who may incredibly just be learning of this story, AHEM, and are in need of some ACCURATE background material on this issue, please review the admirable coverage from Traditio on the demise of St. Anthony's as a Catholic Church, and it's betrayal to the apostates:

Begin with the last post from November 22nd and work backwards in time:

Traditio Commentary

[Mike Fieschko]

The St. Anthony's website says nothing of your new Archbishop.

Gee, Saint Anthony of Padua Chapel site on tripod (hmmm, ok), says:

Site Under Construction
Will Soon Reopen!

(Improper use of the tone mark, though, since it's neither a command, an actual exclamation or an astonishing sentence.)

[latae sententiae]

somewhat vested interest in making available the times and places that the intersted faithful could attend....lol

One would think that the purveyor of that dopey Tripod page would be more than proud to announce your new state of servitude to Meyers & his band of merry "men." Instead, all I see is a picture of Fr. Wickens, and another one of 3 SSPX priests at his funeral. Trying to lure Traditional Catholics? lol! Notably absent, though, is the link that used to be there to an issue Fr. Wickens' NJ Catholic News, which would make the Archbishop's eyeballs fall out if he read it.
