Do not worry about refuting the SSPX, they are not outside the Church. According to Cardinal Castrillion Hoyos they are not in formal schism. The Bishops are currently excommunicated, the Priest are not however, only suspended. In other words, to refute them would be to refute the Roman Curia.

Ok, I see what your saying here, but, in what document has Cardinal Castrillion Hoyos said they are not in formal schism? Where can I get that info?

If that was true, they would be similar to FSSP or Institute of Christ the King. But they are not.

What kind of logic is that? There are differences even between the FSSP and Institute of Christ the King, otherwise they’re the same order.
 
Dizzy Dave, perhaps you should clarify what aspect of the SSPX you wish to refute, so that the food-fight going on here can be eased a little.

Yes, it was an intereview. There is no letter or document from the Magisterium.

On the other hand, we have a letter from Ecclesia Dei saying that their weddings and confessions do not have jurisdiction and are therefore invalid. Now there’s something that must be refuted. Across the board the SSPX contradicts this and this should be of great concern.
Concretely this means that the Masses offered by the priests of the Society of St. Pius X are valid, but illicit i.e, contrary to Canon Law. The Sacraments of Penance and Matrimony however, require that the priest enjoys the faculties of the diocese or has proper delegation. Since that is not the case with these priests, these sacraments are invalid. It remains true, however, that, if the faithful are genuinely ignorant that the priests of the Society of St. Pius X do not have the proper faculty to absolve, the Church supplied these faculties so that the sacrament was valid (cf. Code of Canon Law c.144).

It’s really irrelevant anyway. Is there really only cause for concern when a group is officially “outside” the Church. I can think of more than one liberal that officially falls in this category. Do we not worry about them?

The fact remains that their heirarchy is excommunicated and their priests are suspended (at best) and have no faculties for the sacraments that need them.
 
May I ask, why do you want books to refute the SSPX? are you currently in debate with someone who is perhaps a laity of the SSPX?
