The Catacombs

NB: While it is most unfortunate that the indult traditional priests are being ousted with much regularity by the Conciliar Church , none of the women attending the Latin Mass in the image below are wearing veils which is typically an exterior indicator of how 'traditional' they really are.

Bishop Laurent Dognin, 70, of Quimper, France, announced on 18th December that he had "broken off relations" with the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter (FSSP).

He accused the FSSP of creating "irreversible tensions" within the diocese. The accusation is probably a projection.

At the end of November, it emerged that Dogin planned to move the fraternity from an otherwise unused church in Quimper to a site on the outskirts of the city. But now he seems to have opted for the complete distruction.

The FSSP has been present in the diocese since 2016. Its parish in Quimper gathers between 250 and 500 faithful on average in the summer and is one of the largest parishes in a dying diocese.

According to Bishop Dognin, other priests will replace the FSSP in the two parishes where they were active. Judging from past experience, this is the usual tactic to let a Roman rite community die slowly without causing too much uproar among the faithful.

“For fifteen years we dialogued to try to put the tradition back in its place of honour, in that place in the Church which it has by right. We ran up against a continual refusal. What Rome grants in favour of this tradition at present is nothing but a purely political gesture, a piece of diplomacy so as to force people into compromise. But it is not a conviction of the benefits of Tradition.” (Archbishop Lefebvre, Fideliter No. 79, January-February 1991)
