Links from Fr Clement Mary - Christchurch

I have deleted a good number of comments recently, written obviously by SSPX adherents or maybe even Sedevacantists. Since the announcement of our regularization with Rome the only attacks or at least sharply pointed questions have come purely from the aforementioned sources. If I respond to them, it may well be hailed (maybe by the very same people who pose the questions) as a sign that anyone who regularizes looks on the SSPX as Public Enemy No. 1. But if I say nothing, it will quite possibly be taken as admission of defeat and and as such trumpted abroad on various internet forums. Another of the difficulties with these questions is that the questioners give the impression of being unaware of the very existence of even the most basic counter arguments to their underlying assumptions. I think the best solution to this is to refer people to some other blogs that already deal with such questions in a very thorough manner. I don't neccessarily agree with absolutley all that is expressed on the new links I have posted, but recommend them for an intelligent discussion of all things connected with Tradition. Rorate Caeli and What Does The Prayer Really Say need no introduction I hope. The Gregorian Rite has amongst its writers Dr. Brian Kopp, one of the founders of the now notorious Angel Queen forum, but who writes in support of the Bendictine reforms. The Sensible Bond is written by Dr. Brian Sudlow, the English translator of Bishop Tissier de Mallerais' biography of Archbishop Lefebvre. He has subsequently modified his views on the SSPX and writes strong but certainly intelligent posts on the subject. I hope the education these links provide will cut down the number of unnecessarily crude and provocative questions I receive.
