I just got your note, but there was no return email address. I actually have a bit of concrete advice.

Don’t drop the deacon’s extra-RCIA classes. Follow up with the SSPX guy and keep talking to the deacon at the same time. Gather info for challenging the deacon’s false ideas and bring him into the fold.

Consider it an apostolic work.

Keep going.

Never give up. Never surrender.
