Description

In 1969 an Archbishop founded a religious order as a small community of seminarians. After retiring from the post of Superior General this Archbishop was approached by several traditionalist seminarians who had been refused tonsure, which is the rite by which, until 1973, a seminarian became a cleric. These seminarians asked for a conservative seminary to complete their studies and the Archbishop seemed the right prelate to approach due to his outspoken views against the modernism that infected Vatican II. Since the Archbishop was approaching retirement and did not feel up to the task, he directed these young seminarians to seminary. At that time, the Archbishop felt it was the last of the traditional seminaries. After several months, the seminarians returned to inform the Archbishop that the seminary was also suffering from the modernism of Vatican II. The Archbishop felt providence was at work and so he agreed to teach and train these seminarians personally. In 1970, he received permission from the local bishop to establish a seminary which opened with twelve students. The significance of this time in Church history was that this was the only religious order to ever be founded in complete opposition of a previous council acting in the opposite spirit of the order. It was almost doomed to fail from its very beginning. Yet over the years, the order founded by this Archbishop continued to grow through traditional priestly formations as the church had for centuries prior to Vatican II. There was something in the air. Additionally, the number of Catholic faithful wishing to practice the traditional Catholic faith also increased significantly to the point that many Bishops and Cardinals that were devoted to the changes ushered in by Vatican II, began to be concerned about this growing number of faithful and priests returning to the traditional church teachings. Prior to Vatican II there was no such thing as traditional Catholics. All Catholics were merely Catholic. After Vatican II there became an internal separation in the Church and traditional Catholics were viewed as more of an extremist group of Catholics that merely refused to go along with the changes.
