Stay Calm and Trust the SSPX - Mundabor

Mundabor has reminded his readers of one aspect of how the SSPX will determine whether or not to accept a serious offer of a Canonical Regularization from Rome.


  • Meeting six conditions
    • The freedom to preserve, transmit and teach the sound doctrine of the constant Magisterium of the Church and of the unchangeable truth of divine Tradition; the freedom to prohibit, correct and reprove, even publicly, those who foment the errors or innovations of modernism, liberalism, the Second Vatican Council and their consequences; 
    • The freedom to use the 1962 liturgy exclusively. To preserve the sacramental practice that we presently have (including: Holy Orders, Confirmation, Matrimony); 
    • A guarantee of at least one bishop.
    • Society should have its own tribunals, in the first instance,
    • Exemption of houses of the SSPX from the diocesan bishops,
    • A Pontifical Commission in Rome for Tradition “answering directly to the Pope, with the majority of its members and governing board in favor of Tradition.” 
  • Special deliberative chapter

I have read that Bishop Fellay has learned from the 2012 conflict within the SSPX. The continual leaks made it difficult to maintain the necessary communication to keep the members informed.



When the 2012 chapter was held, I understand from a District Superior that they were given full access to the entire body of communications between Rome and the SSPX.

Now that the 'leakers' have shown their true colours (sedevacantists, ecclesiavacantists, nutters) and either left or been expelled relative calm has returned within the SSPX.

This time Bishop Fellay has been able to share information and seek advice from a much wider portion of the SSPX.

This in and of itself has spread 'RoundUp' on Bishop Williamson's weeds.


However, within the 'resistance' these weeds continue to grow and spread their seeds of error, heresy and distrust.  Without adherence to Catholic principles of obedience, their 'SSPX-SO', 'SSPX-MC', etc are just splintering into a number of little groups. Just like the sedevacantists that Bishop Williamson confronted in the 1980's.

Is the object of Catholic, Jewish and Islamic worship the same God? - Updated

By
+ JMJ Do Jews and Muslims worship the same God as the Catholics? This question is raised often in the context of the statements made in the Second Vatican Council concerning these two religions. Namely: In the first place amongst these there are the Muslims, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God, who on the last day will judge mankind.( Lumen Gentium 16) The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, (Nostra Aetate 3) Nostra Aetate 3 - Footnote: 5. Cf St. Gregory VII,  letter XXI to Anzir (Nacir), King of Mauritania  (Pl. 148, col. 450f.)

A Reply to Martin Blackshaw’s FLAWED Remnant article titled: FLAWED: SSPX Advice on Abortion-tainted Vaccines

By
 + JMJ    An article has appeared in the Remnant (link to article) and I am afraid that there are a number of flaws in it that need to be addressed. The author, Martin Blackshaw, believes that both the Church and the SSPX are misapplying the principle of Moral Theology called 'Cooperation In Evil'.  Unfortunately, Mr. Blackshaw rests most of his arguments on citing authors that support his position, without considering the possibility that they are wrong. This highlights a key factor in this crisis: ignorance of the faith and its application . I don't am not singling out Mr. Blackshaw for this criticism, I have observed that it applies to laity and religious, superior and subject a like.  No one seems immune in this enduring crisis, myself included.  I further believe that this ignorance is why so many Catholics, both traditional and non, rely on their gut feeling or "Catholic conscience" for charting their way through this crisis of the faith.  While...

Should Traditional Catholics Fear Donum Veritatis? Part B (Long Rambling Answer)

By
 + JMJ   Tradical's Rambling Thoughts I think this comes down to three questions: Is the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM) valid?  Is it licit?  What does Donum Veritatis have to do with it? The first question is easy to answer: With the usual conditions the NOM is valid.  ( See this link ) The second question is a little trickier: Is the NOM licit?  Does it mean that it is a duly promulgated law of the Catholic Church? Short answer - probably in the formal / knowable sense. There's was a lot of arguments about this, focusing on whether or not it was a good law, but none of them really seemed to provide a definitive answer. The definitive answer will probably be given in a hundred years or so.😎 Does it mean that it doesn't contradict Church Teaching? Short answer - as promulgated it doesn't.  Likewise there's been a lot of argument about this as well.  I have yet to see someone identify a passage from the promulgated copy of the NOM that EXPLICITLY...

A Look Back: A short history of the SSPX

By
 + JMJ  I started a timeline a while back but never finished it.  Fortunately, here's one that brings us up to 1994!!! P^3 http://archives.sspx.org/SSPX_FAQs/a_short_history_of_the_sspx-part-1.htm   A short history of the SSPX A presentation given by Fr. Ramon Angles in Kansas City, MO, on the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the SSPX and reprinted from the January 1996 issue of The Angelus . Part 1 The history of the Society of St. Pius X begins, of course, in the mind of God. But do not believe that its temporal origin is to be found solely at the time of the post-conciliar crisis. The Society of St. Pius X was made possible ...
