\u201cSpecial orders of priests dedicated to the Latin Mass, such as the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, are a fine thing, but I firmly believe that the long-term survival of the Latin Mass can only be guaranteed if there are members of the local, diocesan clergy who support it and are able to say it. At the same time \u2014 and I\u2019m going to get on my soapbox now \u2014 I think diocesan priests who are supportive of and willing to say both the old and the new rites of Mass with dignity, decorum and fidelity to the Church are in the best position to make sure that those attached to the traditional Mass do not fall prey to \u201ctraditionalist\u201d loony and bizarre opinions about the English Mass being heretical, Vatican II being the great apostasy predicted by Our Lady at Fatima, and all the popes since Pius XII being heretics or even invalid popes. Such diocesan priests are also in the best position to prevent their flocks from falling prey to bizarre and loony thinking on the other end of the spectrum \u2014 for example, that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married, that the Eucharist is an empty symbol and not in reality the Body and Blood of Our Lord, that we will have women priests someday, that the Church will someday permit abortion and homosexual marriage, or other such nonsense. The diocesan clergy have always been the voice of the mainstream. The Church prospers or suffers according to the quality of the diocesan clergy.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
