Here is a talk from April 2012. The pre-Francis talk is most relevant today and has 60,000 views. “In 1974, Father Goodwin entered the Society of Jesus. [He was 26.] “During his formation years, he spent four years at Cheverus High School in Portland, ME, where he taught Latin and Greek. Fr. Goodwin was ordained a priest on June 9, 1979 and returned to Cheverus to teach the classics for 20 years. A gifted teacher, he was loved by his students and greatly admired by his colleagues. “In 1999, moved by his great love for the Traditional Latin Mass, Fr. Goodwin applied to the Fraternity of St. Peter. From August 1999 to June 2000 he was Assistant Chaplain at our apostolate in Pequannock, NJ. Then from 2000 to 2013 he taught at the seminary of the Fraternity in Denton, NE. “He was definitively incorporated into the FSSP on October 18, 2004.” Fr. Calvin Goodwin FSSP 1948-2021

I can relate to so much that Father Goodwin spoke about, remembering Latin Mass from childhood and then it being swept away.

Like the other FSSP priests, Goodwin reflects the moderation my brother and I learned from the Jesuits. They taught us to be moderate in everyday life, but not when it comes to zeal for the faith. I cannot understand what happened to a once great fraternity known as the Jesuits, which is why Goodwin left them behind, and so have I.
