SSPX Seminaries are Significantly Outperforming The Jesuit Counterparts

The June Ordinands are on the Way

The Jesuits have just ordained 6 men from the Midwest, which is presumed to be Wisconsin Province, the Louisiana Province has produced 3. In a virtual Goofus and Gallant scenario, the Jesuits seem to be doing very little with the enormous gifts they've been given.

Now, compare that to the SSPX in Zaitzkofen which just ordained three to the priesthood this last Sunday on the 21st. They were ordained by Bishop Fellay and will say their first Mass on the 28th at the Seminary. Threats from the heterodox ordinary, Bishop Mueller, that it would threaten the reconciliation talks now going on in Rome notwithstanding, the ordination has gone ahead. Although the German Province of the SSPX lacks the access of big Universities, facilities and endowments possessed by the Jesuits they are tracking to overtake them in yearly vocations to the priesthood.

There have been no complaints from the local ordinary of Winona, Bishop Lavoir, however, to the new ordinations and the Saint Thomas Aquinas Seminary there has ordained 9. Last year, they had ordained 10 and are likely to continue a fruitful harvest of priests to fill up the increasing demand for the Mass of All Ages and alleviate the exttremely heavy work burden of their brother priests in the fields of the Lord.

Just a brief speculation: You'd think that the Jesuits with their heavily endowed and accredited Universities would be capable of producing more vocations with the overabundance of resources. No, the number of vocations seems inversely proportional to the number of concelebrants, in this case 300, at their ordinations.
We think that resources should follow success, and times they are a changin' as "newer rites" fall into disfavor for what was always done in older and finer times, and those who are, as Saint Pius X said, the true friends of the Church, the Traditionalists, will continue to carry out the Great Commission, while lesser men and those who lead them will certainly find creature comforts, the praise of their peers and neighbors, but will they please God?

It seems increasingly clear that Pope Benedict is more likely to favor the scholastically trained militants coming from SSPX Seminaries to the kinds of men trained elsewhere with less rigour and esprit de corp.

Correction: The Jesuits ordained from the "Midwest" were actually ordained in Chicago and include boys from all over the Midwest. The Chicago Province alone has 386 Jesuits and four Universities with numerous other preparatory and high schools, here. Also there weren't 9 as we'd initially reported, but only 6.

Pound for pound, what dog do you want on your side in the battle for souls?
