![]() Daniel Nolan, FSSP ), and the ICKSP Twitter feed is filled with maskless people. The FSSP and ICKSP not so much at least I have only seen it amongst individual clergy (e.g. ![]() The SSPX demonstrated institutional corruption all the way to the bishopy top. Like the SSPX, the FSSP and ICKSP (both traditionalist orders) have shown their psychopathy during the COVID pandemic. The clericalist priest he talks about is an FSSP priest. I recognise now the problems Skojec highlights in his post. To the extent that they dishonestly attempted to have fake funerals. I didn’t see it before COVID, but COVID came along and the SSPX behaved like psychopaths, with the idea that their needs must be met above those of any one else, over and above the lives of others. The SSPX have been used to low grade ongoing bitching and whining for 50 years, so they went on as usual. In that pack were Skojec and One Peter Five. Pope Francis came along, and didn’t kowtow to their whims and fancies, and they turned on him like a pack of rabid dogs. Pope Benedict XVI stood in the middle, but he gave those on the right voices. Right wing toxicity is, however, growing, and has been since the papacy of Pope Benedict XVI. That toxicity is probably far greater than I thought, and it exists in all spectrums of Catholicism.

I’m angry because I can’t take another second of clericalism - and by that I mean, “ I’m a member of the ordained clergy, so you can never speak a negative word about me and I get to order you around and do whatever I want to you because of my God-given authority. I’m angry because I’ve spent my life trapped within various ideological subsets of Catholicism that subvert autonomy, critical thinking, and reason itself. The most telling part, in the introduction: ![]() ![]() He’s written a blog post about this development in his life. Where his relationship with One Peter Five will go will be interesting. I hope he stays Catholic, but here are speculations of other paths he might take. Now, it seems, he has come to a startling realisation that the traditionalist subculture is indeed toxic, and he is leaving it. Over time (as observed by Dave Armstrong) he has taken a more rational approach to many of the irrational positions many traditionalists have taken. Steve Skojec, until now, has been a traditionalist and co-author at the often toxic website One Peter Five. ![]()
