The SSPX just build the largest Catholic Church in Kansas two years ago. Remind me again how many parishes your diocese is closing?



The denunciations of the SSPX consecrations are out of all proportion. They immediately affect the membership - barely a couple of thousand people, including tertiaries. Those who go to SSPX Masses add up to perhaps a million, a lot of people but a tiny proportion of Catholics. Numerically it's hardly a blip. The significance, therefore is not numerical; it is important as a matter of principle. But here I still don't understand the amount of ink spilled in sometimes hysterical articles by commentators, especially those who consider themselves to be orthodox. Surely for every word said about the consecrations, there should be a ream written about the Germans, the Chinese, Study Group 9, Rupnik and other cover-ups, and dodgy ecclesiastical appointments? These are much, much bigger issues for faithful Catholics than the consecration of SSPX bishops. ..... unless of course, there is a subconscious recognition that here lies the real battle for the Truth.....

If the SSPX is excommunicated in July, will they still be in communion with the Catholic Church?



SSPX UPDATE 42.0: Breaking News Cardinal Fernandez releases a Statement Declaration by His Eminence Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith Regarding the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (Society of Saint Pius X – SSPX), what has already been communicated is hereby reaffirmed. The episcopal ordinations announced by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X do not have the corresponding pontifical mandate. This act constitutes “a schismatic act” (John Paul II, Ecclesia Dei, n. 3) and “formal adherence to the schism constitutes a grave offense against God and carries the penalty of excommunication established by Church law” (ibid., 5c; cf. Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, Explanatory Note, 24 August 1996). The Holy Father continues in his prayers to ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten those responsible for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X so that they may reconsider their steps regarding the most serious decision they have taken.
