SSPX Locked Out in Amiens: Orthodox Embraced

Why Doesn't the Society Get Special Treatment?

Orthodox Divine Liturgy in Amiens Cathedral

He is a former seminarian and a fallen Catholic.  But he will be allowed to celebrate in the Bishop's Church anyway.

(kreuz.net) On the 7th of July in the Cathedral of Amiens, an Orthodox Liturgy took place.

This was reported by the website of the Orthodox Community in France.

Amiens is a Diocesan City with 136,000 inhabitants. It is located 130km  north of Paris.

A Liturgy like the one the Old Liberals have Forbidden

The Liturgy took place on the Orthodox Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptists.

You will find the head of the Saint in the Cathedral of Amiens.

As it was reported, the women appeared with veiled heads.

The Liturgy was also, as is expected, facing in the direction of the Lord.

The Super Table [Cramner Table] was rejected by the Orthodox.

The main celebrant was the 36 year old Orthodox Bishop Nestor [Sirotenko] of Chersonèse.

He is responsible for the communities of the Moscow Patriarchate in France, Switzerland and in Portugal.

The Bishop was assisted by the White Russian, Parisian Archbishop Gabriel [de Wilder] of Comane and by Bishop Theodose [Ivachtchenko] of Seattle.

The Orthodox Archbishop Gabriel de Wilder comes from the Netherlands.

He is a fallent Catholic and former almnus of a Catholic Seminary.


The Society of St. Pius  can Wait Outside

Bishop Jean-Luc Bouilleret (57) of Amiens is more inclined to Orthodox than to Catholics.

For the community of the Society of Pius X in Amiens has been on the street for over three years since the loss of their chapel.

The request of the Traditionalists for a church service location has been rejected.

The Bishop gladly describes himself as open to the world.

In the past he has greeted Muslims  in the vestibule of his Cathedral on many occasions.

The Society of Pius X, on the other hand, have to celebrate Mass in a converted shed, although the city has numerous churches standing empty.
