Irish pixies? I'm confused. Can someone explain? AH! At last I figured out how do to the quote thing! So nobody can explain this pixie thing then. Obviously not a nice thing to imply about anyone.

Just received this from the convenor of St. Conleth's CHA.
Following the recent success of the Walking Pilgrimage for Vocations, it has been suggested that we walk along the Grand Canal Way from Monasterevin to Vicarstown. Presumably, we could begin at Ss. Peter and Paul's, Monasterevin, and end at the Church of the Assumption, Vicarstown (both suitable for the Traditional Liturgy). The distance is about 5 miles. Does anyone have experience of the route? Any volunteers? Suggestions by the AGM, please.
God bless you!
Well, Monkeyman? Where's your roots now? Ye'll go from Kildare to Limerick but will you walk from Monasterevin to Vicarstown?

Irish pixies? I'm confused. Can someone explain? Braveheart, pixieEnglish folklore also spelled Pixy, Main in the folklore of southwestern England, tiny elflike spirit or mischievous fairy dressed in green who dances in the moonlight to the music of frogs and crickets. Its favourite pastimes are leading travelers astray and frightening young maidens. Pixies also delight in rapping on walls, blowing out candles, and playing in water. Pixies were first discussed at some length by Mrs. Anna Eliza Bray in The Borders of the Tamar and the Tavy, 3 vol. (1837).

Thanks Willy and Royal. I think I got the general idea of a pixie. It was the meaning on here that puzzled me. Willy put me right.

So I see you have to declined to publish the comments I made on your St Contleths gobbldeygoop blog...censorship perhaps?...oh yes why did your group apply for membership of the Una Voce Federation??? a c omplete waste of time if you know anything of that organisation...but perhaps it was more to your liking to be hob-knobbing with the upper-classes every 2 years in Rome and membership now gave you a right to do so. I think a report to the general assembley of Una Voce of the activities of St Conleths would take all of 10 seconds to list off...

I'm told that today is the ninth anniversary of the foundation of the Latin Mass Society of Ireland. Traditionalists in Ireland are pretty scarce as far as I can see. Yet we seem to have at least two factions (I'm not counting SSPX bercause there are particular issues in their case about communion with Rome). It doesn't seem to be about doctrine or liturgy. Is it about personalities? I have had to go to so many ugly and wrongly focused Masses in the Ordinary Form that I have no patience with squabbles among the small number of Traditionalists. Is there any possibility of mediation and reconciliation? Is there anyone that both factions would accept as a mediator? This kind of dissension just makes it easier for the Church establishment in some dioceses to dismiss us all as marginal and fractious eccentrics.

While I agree with your post in principle Michael I do feel that you don't understand whats going on here chiefly because you may not know of the indiviuals involved. My point regarding the St Conleths crowd was they had done little or nothing since their inception. [deleted by Moderator] Thats not really the issue. The latest post was a very negative report on the Newbridge Mass celebrated by a priest of the FSSP. THe impression given was that it was an all Dublin affair....it was in part...because the LMSI encouraged alot of people to go once it had heard St Conleths were not going to promote the Mass....my aim is to lay the blame squarely at the feet of the St Conleths association for not doing enough-not because they werent able to but because they were bloodyminded enough not to. You're quite right when you say its a problem of personalities ie one particular individual who acts like a child when he doesnt get his own way...perhaps Braveheart would like to rebutt what I've said.

In the last few days information reached me that the aforementioned individual wrote a particularly rude/curt letter to the Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter, Fr John Berg.

I don't like naming names, but I fear Monkeyman has hit the nail on the head in his last two posts.

In case I haven't answered some bod's question back there - Paris-Chartres is the pilgrimage I would go on if I was able to.
But some of yez are getting hot under the collar there: what's going on down in Kildare? Too much horse racing if you ask me.

I will try to address the Newbridge situation in the Kildare & Leighlin thread.
