Traditional Orders Attracting

[quote name='dominicansoul' post='1529605' date='May 15 2008, 01:25 PM']I heard it from a Dominican Community here in the states, but I wish to protect their identity. So, you can believe me or not. But that is where I heard it from the Mother Superior of a Roman Catholic Dominican Community here in the States. The SSPX Dominicans, I have no idea their name or their province. I hardly believe this Superior would make this stuff up. It does seem the SSPX has splintered. This doesn't suprise me. If the foundation is disobedience, what is expected from the members? Apparently some SSPX'ers have become sedavacantists.[/quote]

yes some have, as many believe Lefebvre himself soon would have been. Time and circumstances often make people see things in a different light. This has happened for many clergy/religious of the SSPX as well as other groups.

and I'm not saying I don't believe you. All I'm saying is that if this is what that particular group believed then they do not follow the stance of the SSPX, nor any traditional Catholic at all.

This topic will probably be closed soon, as goldenchild already mentioned... (how's your mum by the way, any news on the baby? )

The SSPX makes me tired. They're moving to Rome, then back again... and when a traditional monastery affiliated with Rome talks with the (real) Bishop to see what their position is now that the TLM is completely available, the SSPX immediately tells them that they'll abandon the monastery if the communications aren't halted.

(I'm sorry to be so vague... I don't want to link to SSPX sites. But it makes me so mad. Their own brothers, acting in good faith. Bah.)

I am sorry that I posted something that turned into abit of a debate.
Again I just thought it was neat them saying that the more they became traditional the more vocations they had.
And I belive more and more vocations are being drawn to more traditional orders, if I am not mistaken?

I still feel drawn to the traditional catholic communities.

I think so. I'd say the traditional orders probably would receive more entrants than other orders. Though I haven't done the research to really know. Sometimes the communities not in communion with Rome receive more entrants than their "non-schismatic" equivalent because their supporters feel more necessity to support them. That's just speculation though really. I think the best thing to do is to look at traditional orders in communion with Rome and see what their entrant rates are. All I really know of is FSSP and ICK, though that's really only priests (I think?) not sisters. And I can't find their statistics anywhere. I know the SSPX numbers are on their site but I can't find the numbers for the orders in communion with Rome.

my mistake . I wasn't sure. Though my speculation still holds, based on those numbers I think.
