Backstory: The FSSP

The Priestly Fraternity of St Peter is real,¹ as is the Parish of St John Fisher.² I am asserting a couple of historical fictions. I have moved the parish from Reading to Little Whinging Surrey, and I have moved it back in time from 2007 or so to roughly 1989.

This is problematic in a couple of senses, but necessary for the story.

1. The real FSSP was not established until 1988.³
2. The real FSSP was not active in the UK until 1998.⁴

However, given my AU Rules it makes much more sense that it would be an order dedicated to things traditional that would remember the (fictional) nephilim.

For the purposes of this universe, the FSSP was established a decade earlier than real life. In 1988 instead of being newly created anywhere, it is given a parish in the UK more or less as an experiment by the local bishop on behalf of the bishop's conference, who are considering inviting FSSP to England to help them deal with fallen away Catholics who may be drawn to the old Rite. Thus the bulk of their British activity will not start until a later date more in line with real history. This will also explain why the FSSP priests in this story feel constrained in their ability to deal with Harry's situation. They do not want to make waves before they are formally established in the diocese.
