The SSPX promote exemplary Catholic morals, and must live and be judged the same. The faithful (lambs) trust them explicitly, to the point they would question the victim rather than come to terms a Priest could be the offender. Unfortunately there has to be enablers within in the SSPX hierarchy. We should have the attitude if one lamb is compromised we are all compromised until the offender is with the Police.
This consistent inaction of Bishop Fellay has enabled each and every abuser within the SSPX. What is going on? Honest, upright people DO NOT protect child abusers. I love the SSPX - they have some of the most heroic and worthy priests - but something rotten has definitely been let in.
Reading this account reminds me of the inaction of Ratzinger and JPII in addressing abusive priests. I would think this would have been handled with more immediacy and urgency. Bishop Fellay did not handle this well. He should have defrocked this priest and removed him from any administrative role.
