Okay, I think I understand what SSPX is, but how do you know if a church is an SSPX church? I mean without going in and seeing what the Mass is like?
most of them will self identify as "society of saint pious the 10th chapel"
as to "what it is" it is a break away group, in some state of schism from the Church
I disagree with them being labeled as a "break away group" due to the fact that they are 100 percent Catholic and accept His Holiness, Pope Francis, to be the Vicar of Christ. However, they do disagree with many of the modernism the Church has been accepting for the past 50 years.

Do they accept Vatican II?

If they accepted the Pope as the Pope, they wouldn't be having the problems they are. They have decided for themselves what Catholicism is about. Their status is due to disagreeing with the Church.
The group has pretty much given up.
They do accept The Pope for they are not sedevacantist nor do they identify themselves as such. The only things that separates the SSPX from the Vatican is the disagreement with Ecumenism and lack of tradition. Alot of their points come from Pope Pius X himself.
RomanRite said:So your telling me if the Pope began to contradict the ancient faith with modernism, such as saying atheists can possibly be saved, you wouldn't begin to question his opinions?
I've heard of the SSPX. My grandmother would attend the one in Pittsburgh, but mostly because she liked the Latin Mass.
