The Archbishop of Colombo, Albert Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith Patabedinge would be ready to entrust the management and training of the seminarians of his Archdiocese to the SSPX. Such a step, according to the Cardinal would be possible if the SSPX is accepted and canonically erected. The Cardinal expects this project to improve training of future priests. The reports come from the Roman Rite website Messa in latino.

The District Superior of the SSPX in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, Father Benoît Waillez made this known in a sermon last Sunday. He stressed that the motives, concerns and arguments of tradition begin to spread in the Catholic Church.

Cardinal Ranjith Patabedinge was appointed by the Pope as Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments of the Roman Curia. Since June 2009 he is the Archbishop of Colombo in Sri Lanka and was made Cardinal in November 2010.

He’s probably right in his thinking. My understanding is that SSPX seminarians are carefully screened and very dedicated to their vocations. Having diocesan seminarians taught by SSPX priests would be like having the National Guard trained by Navy Seals.

May I ask what you mean by this? As a diocesan seminarian who is receiving excellent formation from a good number of very solid priests at a very reputable seminary, I take exception to this broad generalization.

So, would the SSPX train these diocesan priests in the Ordinary Form…?

Well none of us really have a way to compare. Maybe your formation would be even better if it came from the SSPX. Who knows?

They would have to. I think it was Br. JR that pointed out that you can’t force seminarians to learn the EF nor celebrate it. They would also be expected to celebrate the OF in the diocese (as it is the Ordinary Form), whereas celebrating the EF would be, strictly speaking, optional.

Probably not more so than the FSSP or ICRSS, I would think.

Do the FSSP and ICRSS train Diocesan priests? If they do then that would be a good litmus test and comparison.

If they don’t, it’s fresh ground. But I’m pretty sure curlycool is right.

Whew, the good Cardinal might have a really tough time getting the SSPX to teach at his seminary if that was a stipulation.

Only in how to celebrate the EF.

The SSPX will simply need to learn that, yes, there are two Forms within the Roman Rite. And yes, one happens to be ordinary. I’m sure they won’t object if someone else comes in to teach that.

I wouldn’t be shocked if they get asked to come in and teach theology, Latin, and how to celebrate the EF. But the diocesan seminarians will have to learn how to celebrate what is Ordinary within their diocese.

I believe they teach the OF (in the Latin) and require to keep current with the GRIM/GIRM.

Now whether they require them to get an “A” in the course is another matter. 🙂

Yes none of use can know. Maybe it would be worse.

The SSPX is not some magical cure for all the one may percieve as wrong with the Church. The have had issues within their seminary. I won’t say anything more on that just feelbthe need to point out that they are not perfect.

The SSPX is a small group. Their return to the Church is not going to have that much of an impact. My order has over twice the number of priests and there are many places in the world that have never heard of the Carmelites.

Also the SSPX are so

Perhaps, Brother. But the billion or so Catholics who live out their faith in the Latin Rite may feel more impact from a group that focuses on their spirituality than they would from a very special spirituality like the Carmelites.
