But I don't perceive this passage as being Lefebvre-bashing any more than it is LMS-bashing. As an honest recollection of events, by someone who was present, it throws interesting light on events. My copy of the book arrived today, and I see that in some ways Fr H is very complimentary about Mgr, while in others he is critical. davidforsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603145004197815827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-56346709419020920232022-02-01T08:13:13.791+00:002022-02-01T08:13:13.791+00:00I think that is a premature conclusion.

Moreover, it tends to be the older bishops who are the least tolerant.

Many have gone on to SSPX and vocations have followed in some cases. Now is not the time for recriminations or blame. The LMS has always been tolerated by the Catholic bishops but that period is nearly over. The question is: will the clergy and faithful come over to SSPX now? Or give up?Joseph Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641535949657460105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-70620869183915776832022-01-31T06:18:01.605+00:002022-01-31T06:18:01.605+00:00Perhaps Fr.

In any case, I think this post is another example of an anti-SSPX bias in this blog. It’s instructive to have the reminder of the long toil of the LMS, especially for us across the pond. But can we afford to bicker at this juncture? I know there are some who will never countenance any recognition of the SSPX, but this reader believes Abp. Lefebvre was right. I write this as someone who fled Eastern Orthodoxy for Rome and only slowly and almost against my will was driven to the SSPX—I am at peace. An imperfect analogy might be the Russian Old Believer situation. Since no bishops sided with them, once the last priest died they were priestless until a few decades ago when the Orthodox made some kind of accommodation with some of them.
