I support them and the Benedictines at Clear Creek. It has always been support from afar, but my reasoning is that the Church needs them and even if I never benefit in person I have still contributed to the spiritual welfare of the Church through my donations. Oddly enough, my bishop just requested an FSSP presence after the motu proprio, and they have committed to sending a priest to the other side of the diocese in the summer, with the hopes of eventually taking up care for the community at my parish on this side of the diocese in a few years. The odd part is that despite being so close to actually reaping the benefit of my contributions, I’ll probably be moving next year, thus running off right when the FSSP is coming to me!

That is far and large a great mindset and attitude to have. We must understand then when giving to groups like this we are really helping the spirituality of the Church at large, not just ourselves. The fact that you do it, in spite of the fact that it doesn’t even help you, is very generous and charitable.
