of respect for the rightful aspirations of those not in schism with Rome
who are dedicated to traditional liturgy; in this regard, see the Priestly
Fraternity of St. Peter, listed below.

Formation
The
Priestly Fraternity of St.
Peter “In
1988, Pope John Paul II canonically established the Priestly Fraternity of
St. Peter as a society of apostolic life and approved its constitutions.”
The fraternity seeks “to reunite those who have been alienated by liturgical
abuse and theological dissent by offering the sacred liturgy in all of its
solemnity according to the Latin liturgical books of 1962, and by offering
the faithful sound catechetical teaching within the living Tradition of the
Church.”
Psychology
Institute for the Psychological
Sciences offers
graduate training in clinical psychology that is grounded in Catholic spiritual
values.
CatholicTherapists.com
offers referrals “to professionally qualified psychotherapists who
incorporate the truths and teachings of Roman Catholicism into their
practice.” Of course, such persons seem to be few and far
between. . . . Plus, a listing does not guarantee that a
psychotherapist is competent, only that he or she gives intellectual assent
to four doctrinal points. As I have seen with my own eyes, there are many
persons in the Church who claim to be “devout Catholics” and who
still don’t have a clue about the real psychological meaning of total
self-sacrifice for the sake of mystic love.

Psychologist —in
