Congregation Size needed for a new FSSP Apostolate

I never said a priest was “forced” to say the EF, but I believe it is entirely within the realm of possibility that sabotaging the EF is in keeping with the political aims of certain special interest groups within the Church.

I have become more and more aware of this possibility as time goes on and my experience of the political climate of my diocese increases.

I am not saying that the sabotage is completely clerical in nature either.

It is quite obvious that the priest is not capable of causing the chaos going on in the Church, although he IS responsible for not putting up storm windows in the Winter, not having someone open the windows in the Summer, not having fans, not turning on the heat, turning off the air conditioning and all of the other liturgical abuses I mentioned regarding the readings and the homilies.

If you would like, I could clearly explain exactly the motive for sabotaging the EF of the Mass.

There are several groups which I know for certain would very much like the EF to disappear and never come back again.

Why do you think we were led to believe that the Mass was forbidden for 40 years, when it clearly was NOT.

Obviously, the majority of people in power did not want this mass to happen.

This is not a theory, this is an objective fact. This is what happened.

I’m just going to take a wild guess here…

this thread is about to be closed, or my remarks removed, or allowed to continue and then “disappeared.”

I know how this site works. Just like I know how my diocese works. And, I know how the Chruch works too.

That’s why I have dead cats waiting for me outside my car.

I’m a TV - Broadcasting graduate. I’ve worked in the field for a bit, even got some things on national TV. Although I no longer work in the industry, I love the field. One of the best years of my life was my second year of college. Fast forward a few years, when the time came for my wedding, we picked a guy to tape it for us.

My wife liked the video. Her mother loved the video.

I hated it. Still hate it. Lighting is off, sound is terrible, framing is off, sometimes I noticed a shake or two. Colour temperatures were off as well at times.

To me it was terrible. The guy tried his best, but it wasn’t up to my standards. He of course knew I had that background, and so did the person he assigned to film our wedding. When the guy filming our wedding and I talked shop, I felt as if he was at times looking down on me and undermining my skills and accomplishments.

Did he do that on purpose to tank my wedding video? No, frankly:

A) He’s probably not very good at shooting weddings.
B) Was having a bad day.
C) Didn’t like shooting weddings.
D) Equipment wasn’t set up right.

Any number of reasons, none of them involve “he’s out to get me and sabotage my wedding!”

You have to accept the priests that God sends you. Sometimes it may not be exactly the priest that you want. Please give the diocesan priests a chance - they might pleasantly surprise you.
