FR. MARSHALL ROBERTS

There is a letter online signed by him dated 1997, which explains his reasons for leaving the SSPX. Since the letter mentions Fr. Fullerton and Fr. Urrutigoity, I presume it is the same Fr. Marshall Roberts who is now associated with the Chapel of St. Michael the Archangel.

There is also a statement about the misconduct of Fr. Roberts at the SSPX Schism website. This essentially recounts the information contained in Dr. Bond's letter.

There is an entry requesting prayers for Fr. Roberts as he enters the SSJ at this Old St. Mary's Church website. A German parish, it appears to be part of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

The church is not listed among the independent Catholic churches, so if it's one of these, it would have to be relatively new, I would think.

The Diocese of Jacksonville doesn't seem to have a website, so I couldn't check it out there. Maybe there isn't a Diocese of Jacksonville.

There is a St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Jacksonville that is an Apostolate of the SSPX. The congregation includes 60 members and lists Father Fulham as the parish priest.

One thing seems to be a given--it is not reasonable to trust that any priest who says the Latin Mass is automatically worthy of respect. There is as great a problem on the right as there is on the left in the Roman Catholic Church.
