Ay, those are "earth-shattering" decrees that you cite in regards to the situation with the SSPX. It's a shame that more ordinaries don't let traditional priests establish parishes like Mater Ecclesia.

If more Traditionalists and more Traditionalist Priests esepcially, behaved as Fr. Robert Paisley did and does, there would be more Mater Ecclesia like parishes. For example, see Fr. Ken Meyers and St. Boniface parish in Pittsburgh. Disobedience and resistance to authority breeds contempt and distrust from authority. Obedience and assistance to authority brings trust and generosity from authority. This would include the need to be humble and admit that schism is always wrong, as did many of the parishoners at "Most Holy Family Monastery" when they finally regularized themselves.

Disobedience is obligatory if the faith is involved. There can be no compromise. No one can be complicit in destroying the Church.

Is that near Philadelphia? What is the situation there? I thought that Most Holy Family Monastery was the home of the sedevacantist Brother Dimond. Has something changed?
