1. Told you they were rich, they've got so many underground connections, it's not funny- they'll buy their way into Rome as well.

3. I bet they wouldn't have blocked turning the building into a mosque.

4. I have no love for these guys, but, I bet it will make a nice mosque in the fullness of time. And then the Jewish community will really have something to worry about!

5. TJL, why should they "buy" their way into Rome? Rome wants them back, just as it wants other schismatic groups, like the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Church, back. Souls are at stake.

6. Anglican ecumaniacs and Catholic ecumaniacs but no ecumenism for the SSPX.
   
   Pathetic, typically pathetic political correctness.

7. The SSPX are very damaging for community cohesion. They work against tolerance.
   
   My family of 10 (all traditional Catholics) applauds the decision NOT to allow them to purchase this church building.
   
   Well done to the community in England in protecting peace.
   
   The SSPX are an exclusive communitarian group, and contribute nothing outside their own agenda.
   
   No ecumenism for them by their own choice, just talk to one of them about ecumenism and you will see the hatred of all things 'non-SSPX'.
   
   They believe in "no salvation outside the SSPX".
   
   Well done England!!!

8. I oppose the SSPX schismatic group's aims and methods. But apart from the fact that all of the Anglican church's property was originally stolen from the Catholic Church, what business does the Catholic Church have in telling the Anglicans to whom they can and can't sell their own property?
   
   And "MPs, peers, Manchester City Council, the Council of Christians and Jews" should certainly have no say in the matter.
   
   Would the bishop of Manchester prefer if the building is sold to someone who will turn it into a shop or restaurant, or demolish it and build a new commercial block?
   
   Would it really be so bad for it to be used by a Christian group, no matter how insular or anti-ecumenical it may be? After all, the SSPX, for all its faults, is far closer (in doctrine, sacraments, governance, liturgy, morals and practice) to the Catholic Church than the Anglican church is (or was, even before it began its melt-down towards meaninglessness about 40 years ago).

9. Eamonn I've never read such a load of rubish in my life. I know many, many people who attend SSPX chapels and none of them is like you say.

10. Re Brad:
    
    If what you say is the truth, then, who of us is deceived, or deceiving?
    
    This is the key, to seeing the true light.
    
    Best wishes.

11. That's right, the Novus Ordo Catholics would rather see this turned into a housing development, mosque, synagogue or just flattened rather than see the Mass of the Saints celebrated there.
    People should wake up and see this for what it is. The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against the Church, whether they shut the True Catholics out of the buildings or not - they will triumph in the end.
