La Minturnesa said:Just a little correction on the language: noone "belongs" to the S.S.P.X. but its priests (it's an order of priests). Catholic laymen don't "belong" to the S.S.P.X; they belong to the Church. They just attend S.S.P.X chapels (which, by the way, the Vatican hierarchs have said can be done to fulfill one's Sunday Obligation, in case anyone was wondering -- as long as it isn't done with a "schismatic spirit," which the priests of the S.S.P.X. don't have in the first place).
I go to the so-called "indult Masses," but say Long Live the S.S.P.X! Without them, there would be no "indult." They, collectively, are the St. Athanasius of our day...
Shelb5 said:And correct me if I'm wrong but for reconciliation and the sacrament of marriage they are to see a Catholic Priest, not a sspx Catholic priest, correct? But in the case of death a confession to a sspx priest would be valid, am I correct?

Archbishop Lefebre's comment regarding Satan is very confusing. In what context did he make that statement. If you are going to use that quote in your signature, at least explain it, please.
P.S. We have a retired SSPX priest out here in Southern California, who says the Latin Mass in a small church not affiliated with the Cardinal.
SSPX said:What he is saying is that nowadays people believe that in order to be obedient Catholics they have to go along with novel ideas and practices which themselves are in disobedience to Tradition, since, for example, the Church's Tradition in fact forbids things like religious liberty and ecumenism for doctrinal reasons.
He's probably an independant priest. SSPX priests live in priories which have at least 3 priests. There's a priory somewhere in southern California, but I forgot where.
