The Immaculata Consecration has taken place and a more normal situation has been put in place for the SSPX in St. Marys, Kansas.  I remember the packed Assumption Chapel ( the school's former refectory) and the embellishments made to make it a worthy place for the Holy Mass.  I remember Fr. De La Tour giving a talk on the great churches of Europe and ended by making an appeal for the rebuilding of the Immaculata. 

Thus began a decades long project to rebuild the church. Initially, they put a new roof on the top of the old bell tower to slow its decay. Then there was the cleaning of wreckage and conversion of the old cistern to the north into a workshop. Eventually, it was realized that there wasn't sufficient room on the site and so a new site was sought. Eventually, as related by Bishop Fellay, a new site near the cemetery at the North of the property was selected.

Interestingly, this new Church will further create a 'separation' between the Mass Centre and the School.  Gone will be the days when the Dorm boys will be able to sneak glances and the Town girls when in chapel :-). 

Fr. Bisig has made a tour and accused Archbishop Lefebvre or being a sede-vacantist. That the nine were expelled for that reason seems to have been lost on him. Oh well. nuff said on this matter.

So there's more 'schism' chatter about the SSPX.  Most get it 'mostly' right in that it is an act of schism to refuse submission to the Vicar of Christ.  However what more get it 'mostly' wrong in thinking that an act of disobedience is equivalent to an act of schism.

Those who persist in believing that off the cuff remarks by people or remarks that don't actually mean what they think they mean or believe that a Pope can retroactively make a law mean something else are simply wrong.

The truth is simpler, a schismatic act that confirms the refusal of submission to the Vicar of Christ is a definitive act, like setting up a separate hierarchy.  The SSPX stands ready to accept and obey any legitimate command that doesn't endanger the Faith.

Periodically, old articles surface in internet feeds and the one from 2018 regarding the Doctrinal divide between the SSPX and Rome is one of them. If anything, one could propose that the divide continues to grow.

There are other interesting articles, but I lead them for your reading pleasure.

Communiqué on the Meeting between Cardinal Ladaria and Fr. Pagliarani

By
+ JMJ I suspect that the 'resistance' will be freaking out about this ... but as with the Archbishop, when Rome calls ... they go ... even if just to let them know (again) why they do what they do. Concerning the alleged 'sell-out' I have this to say: I should update the meme ... with 2017, 18 etc. The 'resistors' should stop and think a little: We are in the 18th year of the latest sell-out frenzy. So we're still waiting. Try and reconcile the 'resistance' positions with the Catholic Faith. If it doesn't objectively sync up - admit that you're wrong and take appropriate action. I have also attached some commentary from CFN. P^3 Courtesy of FSSPX.news Courtesy of Catholic Family News Communiqué on the Meeting between Cardinal Ladaria and Fr.

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...

Unhinged Catholics ... are they on the right path? How would you know? (Updated 2x with Response to Comments)

By
+ JMJ (Originally Published Sept 7, 2019, Updated July 30, 2022, Updated August 13, 2022)  Based on Pope Francis' latest selections for Cardinals, the Church appears to be in deep winter. Just to be clear, I don't mean a Florida winter, I mean a Canadian winter.  In the last 35+ years as a Trad, I've seen my fair share of Catholics suffering from, and dying of, mental and spiritual hypothermia. When a Catholic pours themselves into the 'fight', neglects their spiritual life, doesn't deepen their understanding of the Catholic Faith, then there is a good chance that they will become embittered, frustrated, and angry. With their narrowed perspectives they risk being blindsided and smacked in the head with a metaphorical 2x4. Just look at the headlines on canon212 for some examples. Here's some others: "Diabolically Disoriented" Michael Matt Reveals His True Colors as a Pied Piper Leading "Traditionalists" (i.e., real Cat...

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

By
+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

If Hell is Empty - Why does everyone seem to think that the SSPX is damned?

By
 + JMJ I have read that there are members of the Hierarchy who believe that Hell exists ... but it is empty and that the Church ecumenism encompasses all.  Others simple deny the existence of human. Now with the Roman response to the SSPX July 1, 2026 Episcopal consecrations it appears that some do believe in Hell and don't believe that the Catholic Church ecumenism includes the SSPX.  It would appear that the only people who are: Condemned to Hell as the SSPX and the faithful Catholics who seek the Unambiguous Sacraments from their priests and bishops. Excluded from the Catholic Church are likewise the SSPX. This is a little tongue in cheek (link) but it is really something that needs to be considered. P^3
