PhuturePriest Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 According to wiki, the FSSP priests take no formal vows, but do swear an oath to the society. Indeed. I discerned with them for a while. They are a pretty cool group of people. That's to be expected when you base yourself in the Midwest, however.
Nihil Obstat Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Indeed. I discerned with them for a while. They are a pretty cool group of people. That's to be expected when you base yourself in the Midwest, however. They are based in Fribourg though. :|

chrysostom Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I tolerate bronies but I ask that you not bring it in here. I also need to find my anti-MLP eye shielding. It's somewhere in the gadget box. Edited April 8, 2014 by chrysostom
Nihil Obstat Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I love our priests. :proud: They are both extremely holy men.
chrysostom Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Thanks for the lovely pictures Nihil Obstat, they were much appreciated after the recent assault on my sense of sight.

Home town represent. :) Also, if anyone is interested, check this out: The Society of the Sacred Heart is a lay association within the spiritual family of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. Their spirituality is influenced greatly by St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis de Sales, and St. Benedict. http://sanctatrinitasunusdeus.com/category/feature-of-the-week/
Nihil Obstat Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Hey that priest to the far left (our left) is from Vancouver! Home town represent. :) Was from Vancouver. :evil: Now he is ours.
AugustineA Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 Was from Vancouver. :evil: Now he is ours. Oh yeah, well.. if your priest goes missing. You'll know where to find him. ...... Also.. Here are pictures of the FSSP pilgrimage to La Crosse.
BigJon16 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I have a lot of respect of the FSSP and the Institute! We have a guy here who was in the Institute, but discerned out and is now here, sponsored by his diocese. Although, as a community my seminary does things in the NO, one of our faculty members says a low Mass on Saturday mornings. I actually just traded an old moral theology book with one of my bro seminarians for a St. Josephs '59 Missal.
Fidei Defensor Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Oh yeah, well.. if your priest goes missing. You'll know where to find him. ...... Also.. Here are pictures of the FSSP pilgrimage to La Crosse. Those pictures from La Crosse (which is where I live) are inside the Shrine Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a project spearheaded by Cardinal Burke! Its an absolutely beautiful church!
Just a Skosh Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 My family started going to an FSSP parish when I was in college (2,000 miles away). It seemed really well organized, the priests seemed adept at managing a parish and politics and making sure that good, solid lay people were in charge of the right stuff. I didn't really have great experiences in the confessional, they never really seemed to listen much, and pretty much gave a canned response, but I didn't go that often. The masses were always terrific and they usually had good homilies too, although usually over my head.
truthfinder Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 That's too bad about your confession experiences. The experience I've had with FSSP confessions has been really good. I usually just have a laundry list, and sometimes they leave it at that - they know there's twenty people behind me, kind of thing. At the same time, I've also received really good advice in overcoming some sins, or what I should be focusing on, but in really short compacted words of advice. (I'm very much of the confession is for sins, spiritual direction is for outside the confessional camp). The most surprising thing was, one time I had been a couple month's without confession (nothing serious) and the priest went through an additional list of sins just to make sure I had caught everything. It caught me off-guard at first, but was probably the best thing to happen. I became more brutal with examining my conscience.
