The Good Shepherd Institute Establishes Itself in Colombia

Edit: Now for something completely different: good news.  The Good Shepherd Institute has been approved for war-torn and besieged Colombia.

Good news. The Good Shephed Institute (GSI or IBP in Spanish) has recently been allowed to set up a public apostolate in Bogota.  They were also allowed to have a TLM in the Basilica.  To my knowledge, outside of Campos, this is the first official TLM at a major Church/Basilica in South America in the last 30-40 years or so.  Here are some pictures of the TLM.

[Colombia] Santa Fé de Bogotá is the capital of Colombia.  This is the SSPX priory of  Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in downtown district Teusaquillo in central Bogotá, which numbers around  120.  This is their Corpus Christi Procession being led by an Argentine priest, Father Ferdinand Altamira.  There were numerous processions throughout Colombia. It was celebrated today at Noon.

Not only was police protection provided, but the local constabulary with their impressive Prussian kit provided solemn music as well.
