SSPX: Resources for the Lenten Season

I thought this was some helpful information - especially about the abomination of artificial meat.

February 14, 2024, marks the beginning of Lent for the Roman Catholic Church.

Although not the earliest start date for Lent (February 4), many Catholics may not yet feel prepared for this penitential period in the Church’s liturgical year, especially with the Feast of the Purification having passed less than two weeks ago.

To assist Catholics on their Lenten journey, the Society of Saint Pius X will be posting edifying articles, sermons, and historic texts throughout the season. The following pieces, drawn from this website’s archives, will help you on your way.

Fr. Burfitt on Fr. Pfeiffer's Attempted Consecration

+ JMJ Amidst the shadows cast by the publication of Traditionis Custodes, I am working on a map of the 'resistance' splinters to put their reaction in contrast with that of the SSPX. In the midst of this, I just came across Fr. Burfitt letter on the attempted consecration. Breaking it down (see below) items 2 and 3 are key. Just as the consecrating bishop is 'doubtful', even if he hadn't muffed the first attempt, Fr. Pfeiffer remain doubtful and therefore this impacts those men is attempts to 'ordain'. There were rumours that Fr. Pfeiffer was seeking episcopal consecration for years as he cast about for various bishops (also doubtful) to help him achieve this goal. I wonder how he convinced the 'doubtful' bishop to provide (twice) the doubtful consecration. What a mess! This creates a danger to the souls of his followers and wonder where it will end. Will he go full sede and have himself 'elected' pontiff as others have done before him...

Regarding Post: Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer no longer ... now Bishop Joseph Pfeiffer (Can't see this being a problem...)

+ JMJ I've been watching the popularity of the post about Fr. Pfeiffer's attempted episcopal consecration and its continued top listing on the 'popular posts' list at the bottom of posts. After some thought, I decided that I don't want to be responsible for anyone joining Fr. Pfeiffer's 'group', however unlikely that would be at this time. So I have reverted the article to the draft state. If anyone wants it reinstated, I would ask that they comment on this post with a rationale for reinstatement. P^3

Is it sinful to attend the Novus Ordo (New Mass) - Is it Sinful to Not Attend the Novus Ordo on Sunday?

+ JMJ A non-SSPX Catholic is upset over the SSPX statements on not attending the Novus Ordo Missae. Ladies and gentlemen, what the SSPX, or at least its website editor, is advocating is a mortal sin against the Third Commandment. Unless the priest deviates from the language of the Sacramentary, the consecration, and thus the rest of Mass is to be considered valid. No one may elect not to attend Mass simply because abuses are occurring therein. Might I suggest that such absenteeism is its own abuse? The Third Commandment binds under mortal sin. Father So-And-So from the SSPX has no authority whatsoever to excuse attendance at Mass, be that Mass ever so unpalatable. Source:Restore DC Catholicism Well, this is interesting. First why does the SSPX issue this statement? Because it is sinful to put your faith in danger by attending a protestant service. It is likewise dangerous to put your faith in danger by attending a protestantized ma...

Called It: Vortex and Niles Respond to SSPX's Update on SSPX Independent Review Board

+ JMJ In a post that was written days ago, but published this morning - I wrote: While I'm confident that Voris et al will try to spin this to suit their narrative, Plan to Protect has been in the development years before Voris launched the campaign against the SSPX. Well true to form during this morning's CMTV briefing has the following headline: SSPX Lack of Transparency Society slammed for refusing to publish names of review board. Here's what Ms. Niles had to say: The SSPX is being slammed for lack of transparency. In a Tuesday update to its sex abuse review board the SSPX finally published a description of its review board members. While failing to actually publish their names. Victims have requested full disclosure of identifies to assure no conflict of interest. But leadership has refused unlike many dioceses who are transparent about their review board membership. I have some time, so let's unpack this soundbite and think critically. Don'...
