Of course we can pray for him, and stop criticism.

It’s wrong to ignore the lessons of history. On the other hand, some people on both sides repeatedly zero in on certain incidents to the exclusion of other lesons, omitting data from recent trends and current information.

This thread was about choices individuals might make in 2020. Like on all SSPX threads, posters focused like a laser on certain incidents mid 70s and late 80s, and on the character of a man who is now deceased.

These threads tend ignore the options and decisions available in the present year, the topic of the thread. It’s implied that you shouldn’t support FSSP now, because decades ago SSPX was the only TLM, or because the late Archbishop was a good guy.

Is there a good reason for an SSPX priest to minister there in 2020, rather than in fssp?

Is there any reason for parents attached to SSPX to raise children in SSPX now rather than connecting with a parish, with Diocesan TLM and other orthodox ministries in their diocese? That would be a question to explore, focused on 2020 and future for those children.

The hostility you describe was more common in the 1970s than today.

Surely you jest! I think I posted on another thread re my anti-TLM coworker. Seriously, if I posted some of the stuff this person said re the TLM
I’d be suspended. 😱
 
There are problems on both sides of the church. Likewise, there are those who dispense of Tradition on both sides too- whether that be a degenerative progression by the modernists or an excessive legalism by the traditionalists who discount V2/NO as continuations of Tradition. Ultimately what ought to matter is Truth- easier said that done, of course.
