Imagine my surprise when I was introduced to Dr Hereward Senior,UE, Professor of History at McGill University in Montreal, PQ! I was a member of the Monarchist League of Canada and Hereward was a 'mover and shaker' in the organisation. When Dr Senior invites me to lunch, I go, even tho' I had absolutely no idea why I'd be interested in meeting him. Then I got a call from Dr Senior, saying his brother was going to be in town and he'd like to buy me lunch because he thought I'd be interested in meeting him. One day my wife was a having a yard sale and she wanted me to help. I also attended St Anthony's and Blessed Sacrament in Wichita, where he was pastor, but again, I was there before him at both.Īnd Dr Senior and I used to attend daily Mass together. Oh, I know that! I too, attended the Pearson IHP, but before His Lordship. but you can at least rely on them to always do things the traditional way. they are renting so there is no stability with the sspx here. Now, the sspx here isnt a chapel, it's a mission. when choosing a place to live, if i were to ever relocate, i would probably consider places with sspx chapels just because my family could put roots down knowing that they would not be cut off from spiritual nourishment. there is no way to know whether st agnes, our lady of peace, holy innocents, will be TLM praishes in 1, 2, 10 years time.everything is in flux. our saviour used to be the place to go for the TLM, now that has changed. i know people that gave significant amounts of their time and money into that church, because they supported the restoration of the traditional catholic liturgy. I know people who chose one job offer over another because of proximity to the daily TLM at Holy Innocents. they are supposed to give stability to the community not take it away me, i am trying to bloom where i am planted and make the best of where i am, because it is unlikely that we will be able to relocate anywhere else.Ĭhurches aren't supposed to move. some of us have control over where we can live, and can carefully choose the best place to raise a traditional family. some catholics can be transients, moving from place to place, going from parish to parish but most of us want to live in a place where we can put roots down and grow our families. Yeah the stability is important and i wish bishops understood the value of this. And I am just an ignorant lay woman, so take it as it is worth Just some thoughts from the human side of all of this, as I see it. The current diocesan approved TLM priest is a gem, but who may follow him? And as I stated before, the priests who do the TLM in the diocese do not have a solid history of encouraging true traditional Catholic life, and that is a big problem. Many families have their children at some SSPX school or another. There are histories of good relationships with holy SSPX priests who have given the faithful what they needed for decades before the current bishop came on the scene. There are many, many happy marriages and piles of grandchildren. There are families with multiple vocations to the SSPX priesthood and religious life. Quote from: Traditionallyruralmom on August 12, 2015, 10:07:13 AM He can swoop in now and start TLM's and encourage orthodoxy in a formerly rank diocese, and good for him! But what he fails to realize is that there are human relationships here that he cannot just smash under the legal argument.
