That's interesting. I seem to recall that not so long ago, the SSPX installed a brand new altar at Econe. It was also freestanding and the steps surrounded it on all sides, i.e. it could (in theory) be approached from behind as well as from in front.
As a one-off, that might be a coincidence and nothing more. But now the Immaculata too? Is that also a coincidence? And also St. Peregrine, in Ohio. Perhaps that's a coincidence, too?
Why does the undeniable link between the liturgy and church architecture suddenly come to mind? Why does the modern SSPX's insistence on pushing the modernist so-called "dialogue Mass" suddenly spring to mind, too? Why am I also suddenly reminded of Fr. Rostand's interview a decade or so ago, where he was asked whether the SSPX would be ready to accept Benedict XVI's idea of a "hybrid Mass," and he would not say "no" and gave an answer which amounted to "yes"..?
Is that all also a coincidence?

He was asked whether the SSPX would "ever consider adopting" the hybrid Mass. Was his answer a "yes" or a "no"..?

Quote: AP: Father, you also mentioned the maintenance of the 1962 Missal as one of the essential conditions of the Society's future. There are some reports that in the near future Rome may come out with an updated or hybrid version of the 1962 Missal. Would the Society ever consider adopting this?
Fr. Rostand: First of all, the reports of the hybrid Mass are uncertain and conflicting. It is difficult to base any position on theoretical or hypothetical things that may happen. Now, the General Chapter has made a clear statement of having the right to use the 1962 Missal and has always been in the mind of the Archbishop a prudential way of dealing with the disaster we find ourselves in today.
