When I read
this story on Fr. Z's blog, I knew I had to share it. (Just in case none of my 3 readers have heard about it.) Some fans of the SSPX like to accuse the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter of having no teeth or backbone. Incidents like these leave egg on their faces. I would like to publicly applaud Fr. Hearty's audacity! Certainly their commitment to union with the Holy See tends to make them mute on certain issues on which the Society is highly vocal. But on other fronts they are definitely leaders in orthodoxy.
