Father Zed's thoughts on the expulsion of the FSSP from the Diocese of Dijon. At least there is an SSPX Priory in Dijon, so the Faithful will not be left out in the cold.
From Fr Z's Blog
At the French site Riposte catholique we read that the Archbishop of Dijon, Roland Minnerath, has expelled the FSSP from the diocese. They are to leave by September. They’ve only been there for 23 years.
No consultation. D’un trait de plume… with the stroke of a pen.
If there is anything to the rumors, if it is not in fact a disinformation campaign, about an upcoming “slave act of 2021” against Benedict XVI’s “emancipation proclamation” for diocesan priests, what shall the faithful of Dijon do then? They’ll go to the SSPX chapel in Dijon, of course.
Let us pray that the FSSP and the diocese can work something out, find another way. Fewer priests and Masses in a place is not the way to evangelize, it seems to me.
Meanwhile, FATHERS, get to work.
Let not your hearts be overly troubled. A little anxiety, by the way, can produce clear thought and hard work. Too much can produce paralysis.
Get your Masses established NOW.
NOW.

However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
