FSSP Distances Itself From PaixLiturgique.fr
The background: Bishop Dognin of Quimper, France, announced the closure of the vibrant FSSP apostolate in Quimper, which was too close to his empty Novus Ordo cathedral, and went on to blame PaixLiturgique.fr for his decision (sic).
Originally, Dognin only wanted to move the FSSP from the city centre to a site on the outskirts of the city that was not served by public transport. PaixLiturgique.fr denounced this decision in two well-researched articles on 28 November and 12 December.
This "offended" the touchy Dognin so much that he decided to take revenge on the FSSP by banning it from his diocese, while at the same time praising (sic) the two FSSP priests working in Quimper.
Now, in a communiqué, the fraternity regrets that PaixLiturgique.fr published these articles and caused an alleged firestorm [in Dognin's head].
Already a year earlier, the FSSP had protested to Dognin that it had nothing to do with PaixLiturgique.fr "whose methods and spirit it disapproves of". PaixLiturgique.fr is a decent and very respectful portal, but in today's ecclesiastical climate respect and decency do not pay.
"It is particularly insulting for the FSSP priests present in the diocese of Quimper to be accused of actions that are totally alien to them," the communiqué whines. To this day, the faithful of Quimper have no guarantee that the diocese will, as promised, continue the apostolate of the Roman rite with diocesan priests.
The more the FSSP licks the boots of the Novus Ordo bishops, the more it gets its butt kicked.
