"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

OK, I am a little slow, but what does this mean exactly? In practical terms?
The “What are we?” page at http://www.fssp.org says “The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter is a Clerical Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical right, that is, a community of Roman Catholic priests who do not take religious vows, but who work together for a common mission in the world.”
As of this moment, the “Who we are?” page at http://www.institute-christ-king.org says “The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest is a society of apostolic life whose goal is the honor of God and the sanctification of priests in the service of the Church and souls.”
Father,
This is interesting news. Can you comment further on the import of this? I run a Traditional Vocations blog, and would be happy to publish your thoughts on this? Please let me know.
Best wishes,
Mark
Father Z, thanks for sharing this marvelous news. I live around Chicago and have seen first hand what marvelous things these priests do,
both from the liturgical and teaching perspective. They’re tops! Tom
Reminder: I don’t allow “anonymous” comments.
Well, now it’s happened. Good !
In practical terms, I don’t think it will make any difference to the apostolate of the ICKSP, will it ?
Fr. Z will correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the ICKSP will still need to be invited to work in a diocese by the bishop.
Dr. Wright: In practical terms there will not be much impact. Still… this is a good move. It is a sign of approval on the part of the Holy See.
Father, does this make it easier for the Holy Father to elevate members of the Institute to bishop? I’m thinking of Msgr Wach and Msgr Schmidt. [Not really. And I doubt any of that will happen. There is a change in atmosphere, surely, but the climate change is much much slower. I wouldn’t think in those terms.]
Meant Msgr Schmitz.
Quite a significant jump for the sisters I think, and in pretty much record time for these days – I’m pretty sure they were only a (private?)association of the faithful previously.
Also probably a helpful move for both the Institute and the Sisters given that they’ve lost their AB who was rather sympathetic to tradition..
