I hear the SSPX is setting up shop on Stronsay for the faithful and those priests and brothers who did not defect. How do you respond to this challenge?
Google dictionary gives "desert" as a synonym for "defect".
To have gone onto the Barque of Peter was surely to have deserted only a sinking ship?
If the previous comment is not mere rumour, no "challenge" is admissable.
And this question relates to the article about Pope Urban V and St. Peter Thomas just how, Oliver?
Dear Oliver,
the Transalpine Redemptorists must ignore the SSPX challenge
but the Faithful, and the Faithful only, will respond making their own choice.

Dear Rev. Fr. MM, F.SS.R.
if the Catholic Church have to preserve its own identity, in the same way it is right and proper to show respect for non-Catholic religions sharing with them "in divinis" even if adopting the right limitations.

I know she is not the Supreme Pontiff, but I wonder what St Margaret Clitherow would think about praying with heretics?
Here is what the Transalpine Redemptorists said about this great Saint:
The martyr coming to the place, kneeled her down, and prayed to herself. The tormentors bade her pray with them, and they would pray with her. The martyr denied, and said, ‘I will not pray with you, and you shall not pray with me; neither will I say Amen to your prayers, nor shall you to mine.’

Thank you for providing these historical examles of how "norms" have been adapted to meet the needs of particular circumstances or in light of some higher pastoral goal. There seems to be a good lesson in all of this.

That is old news. SSPX are being extremely petty staying in Stronsay when there are many places in the world that have no Latin Masses. I use to have huge respect for them but that has certainly changed as it appears that the heirarchy seem more happy at getting back at any priests and religeous that don't do as they want instead of bringing the Latin Mass to as many people as they can. There are so few Catholics on Stronsay and there is no reason at all that they cannot go to the Sons of the Holy Redeemer's Masses and Sacraments. As I say it should be about the Mass but in this case the SSPX has made it about themselves and in my opinion is spiteful.
Oliver,
Rumor and gossip aside, from whom or what precisely did the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer "defect"? The concept of "defection", strictly speaking, presupposes a prior membership. From what body did the FSSR sever themselves? If it be a body of lesser gravity than Holy Church, then I submit that they merely quit the orbit of human respect.
\\I know she is not the Supreme Pontiff, but I wonder what St Margaret Clitherow would think about praying with heretics?\\
St. Margaret was refusing to pray with people who hated the Catholic Church at a time when she was being officially persecuted by government policy.
This is HARDLY the case of the Pope being invited by the Anglican Abp. of Caterbury to join him in prayer at Westminster Abbey--which was originally a Catholic Church to start with.
The two events cannot be justly compared.
Jack,
Thank you for the clarification.
Does anyone have any references to The Holy Fathers before Vatican II meeting in prayer with Protestants in their buildings?
Thank you
