Traditional Catholic Monks of Papa Stronsay, Scotland

Excerpt from a documentary series featuring the Transalpine Redemptorist monks of Papa Stronsay, Scotland - a congregation of traditionalist Catholic Fathers and Brothers of both Eastern and Western Rite from all over the world. The documentary was filmed in September 2003 and originally aired on Channel 4 (UK) in 2004. The congregation was founded in 1988 by Fr Michael Mary and Fr Anthony Mary on the advice of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Their aim was to found a new Redemptorist congregation which observed the original Rule of Saint Alphonsus and ignored the reforms adopted by modern Redemptorists following the Second Vatican Council. The congregation moved from the Isle of Sheppy in Kent, England, to Papa Stronsay in 1999. The island was considered ideal because of its seclusion from the world and ancient connection with the monastic tradition. As well as producing their own newspaper, the monks raise their own cattle and sheep and they produce most of their own food. For more information visit: www.papastronsay.com

They are in full communion with the Church. Communicado from the Commission Ecclesia Dei, posted on the community's blog: "Now this community is reconciled to the Church and the three priests members have been regularized. As a sign of this full communion with the Catholic Church, they have changed their name to Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer and are on the way to the approval of their Institute. The community has 18 members, among whom are the three priests who have just been regularized."

May the SSPX continue their uncompromising fight for the Church. May they keep pointing out the pervasive modernism of the present Church with unyielding zeal.

I read that recently this community has reunited with Rome and is now under the authority of the Pope. They have changed the name to The Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer. Deo Gratias

I know this is an old post, but I agree. I have not even been to a tridentine mass yet, only masses with some latin. I see the difference more all the time and my heart really hungers for our masses to be more adoration and sacrifice. Pope Benedict is striving to help the church return to that.

I am not a Catholic, but while recently reading a biography of Pope Benedict XVI, I noted that he seemed personally sympathetic to the cause of reviving the Latin Mass. His recent moves to do so are thus surely genuine. The fact that the Papa Stronsay community has for so long endured privation for this cause has thus been vindicated by papal authority ... Or am I misunderstanding something?

Spitzer72 you seem to be very critical of Papa Stronsay's reunion stating that they have compromised... what Catholic Doctrine have they compromised?

They have 'officially' 'reunited' (sorry for double qouting) so, any complaints by Roman Catholics need to be done away with, though those in disunion may have some complaints. My cousin visited them, he was so struck, he's been seriously considering a monastic life.

That's absolutly FALSE! The Secound Vatican Concil is the only Concil of the history that has declared himself NON-DOCTRINAL. All the fathers have approved that this Council is only PASTORAL. It means that it was a kind of great sermon. Because of this, the help of the Holy Spirit was not demanded. So a Pope CAN erase it. Go read the status of the Concil before speaking! Read the syllabus, the writings of the Popes before Vatican II! Read what Mgr. Lefebvre has written about the crisis.
