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.

i was so lucky to meet 6 of the brothers on board a flight from Rome, we talked and laughed together, I was the flight-attendant, and at the end of the journey I received a beautiful rosary from them! Very special to meet these monks.

They are special people! Thank you Brother Ivan for the youtube site and your mail address! Super!

One of the most beautiful videos on YT. God bless these wonderful, gentle men of God and their deep and passionate concern for all of us on this earth, and their longing for us all to be heaven with Jesus forever.

As well as in personal correspondence, the ICRC has addressed this misrepresentation by several other means. In 1975, the ICRC wrote to the Board of Deputies of British Jews in London regarding Harwood's citations, stating:

The figures cited by the author of the booklet are based upon statistics falsely attributed to us, evidently for the purpose of giving them credibility, despite the fact that we never publish information of this kind.

[TheAntiV]

@Oblationem The lower numbers are due to the fact that the Soviets "purposely overstated the number of non-Jewish casualties at Auschwitz-Birkenau," according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Holocaust deniers insist that the number of Jews killed therefore be lowered by at least 2.5 million. However, the plaque had never been used as an accurate historical source by mainstream historians. As early as the 1950s, Raul Hillberg estimated 1.1 million Jewish deaths in Auschwitz.

@MattMystrieo

Even the Auschwitz museum has lowered the number of Jews killed there from 4 million to 1.5 million, and Red Cross records reveal far fewer than 1 million deaths, it does not bode well for the number six million. Unless there’s a new kind of math where six million minus any sum must always equal six million.

@Oblationem For the love of God, pray the rosary and let go of your pride. The Vicar of Christ reigns, not perfectly, not even ideally, but he does reign.

@TheEcumenator

Good video, but these monks are no longer Traditional Catholics. They have given-up fighting for the true faith and sacraments and have accepted Roman Protestantism. Sad but true. There is no Deo Gratias here. God didn't have anything to do with this, it was of their own free will.
