Rod Dreher: SSPX Abuse Scandal Hits Mainstream Media
It has not escaped my notice that St. Marys is the kind of place that could be fairly identified as a Benedict Option community. To be sure, I have never, ever claimed, nor would I ever claim, that you can escape sin. Still, even though I’m no longer Catholic, I do find it particularly painful that this is going on within a community that really is trying to live by traditional standards. It doesn’t negate their aspirations to holiness, including communal holiness, but it does make it harder for people to trust the leadership.It may be a cult, but I have doubts as to whether it is a community. A community polices itself and its leadership justly and effectively.
