THE TEACHING ON THE SACRED HEART
What is presented here is much closer to the kind of teaching on the Sacred Heart that a Catholic would have heard before Vatican II. There is nothing irrational here. There is none of the airy-fairy new age language that appears in the teaching from the OA priest. There are no mystical flames that can be given a variety of interpretations, setting up the unsuspecting Catholic to embrace meanings that are not Catholic.
Yes, it's SSPX. Nevertheless, it is a spirituality I am much more comfortable with. I don't have to ask at the end of it, what was he talking about? And there is nothing in this explanation that contradicts anything in the doctrine of the faith. There is also no dubious mystic lurking in the background who does not have Church approval.
