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

they keep the old Latin Mass, so you would not be able to tell their services apart from any Latin Mass

prayers for reunification

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.

Good now I know what to avoid. Thanks.

You can also go to the website of the local dioceses and see if a parish is listed as part of the dioceses.

Do they accept Vatican II?

Do they accept Vatican II?

Yes and no.

There's no black-and-white here.

Do they accept Vatican II?

Arch Bishop Lefebreve, founder of the SSPX, was a council Father and even signed the documents of Vatican 2. However, many Bishops began denieing Church teaching as well as Sacred Tradition. When His Excellency Archbishop Lefebreve protested against the apostasy of many Bishops they began to laugh at him as he cried against the destruction of the faith. Because of the results of the council this is why he rejected Vatican 2.

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.

Who came before Vatican II.

If they accepted the Pope, they would be obedient.

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?

Is the Pope Infallible?

Is the Pope Infallible?

but we have to remember that not every utterance by a Pontiff under the protection of infallibility

I've heard of the SSPX. My grandmother would attend the one in Pittsburgh, but mostly because she liked the Latin Mass.

About the Latin Mass Community / Directions | Holy Wisdom Parish Latin Mass Community

there are parishes in communion with the Pope that offer Latin Mass, does she still live in Pittsburgh? If so the link I provided can help her find a parish that offers Latin Mass in Pittsburgh

The Pope only speaks ex Cathredra when speaking on faith and morals in line with Church teaching.

I've seen things said from people within SSPX, including those in leadership type positions, that are troubling to me.
