The SSPX does not claim the exercise of a magisterium superior to the Holy Father?s, nor does it seek to oppose the Church. Following in the footsteps of its founder, it wants to hand down what it has received, namely ?what has always been believed everywhere and by all.? It claims as its own the profession of faith addressed by Archbishop Lefebvre to Paul VI on September 24, 1975: ?Jesus Christ has entrusted to His Vicar the charge of confirming his brethren in the faith, and has asked him to make sure that every bishop faithfully keep the deposit of the faith, according to St. Paul?s recommendation to Timothy.?
