For EF do you prefer SSPX, FSSP, or ICKSP?

[jas84173]

Just was wondering preferences to these societies.

 

[Fauken]

Never been to SSPX nor ICKSP, but I have loved every FSSP parish I’ve visited. I would like to see an ICKSP church, but they’re not near me. And I would avoid the SSPX.

 

[Tis_Bearself]

The only one within a reasonable distance of me is the ICKSP. I haven’t been yet, but will go. I don’t think the TLMs I’ve been to have an affiliation.

 

[ProVobis]

All their Masses are valid. All their Masses use the 62 Missal. The substance is the same.

 

[ProVobis]

The question was which do you prefer, not which ones you would attend.

 

[Tis_Bearself]

The question was which do you prefer, not which ones you would attend.

Are there actually differences between how each of these groups celebrates Mass?
I would think they would all be doing pretty much the same thing.

 

[ProVobis]

BTW, I wish they would use the official acronyms ICRSS, FSSPX, and FSSP, which are all legitimate fraternities.

 

[ProVobis]

Right. One probably could not tell the difference between the Masses celebrated by each.

 

[R_H_Benson]

You would be able to tell by the amount of lace in the albs/surplices

 

[jas84173]

What is that their Latin names? I know FSSP is the Latin name for Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter.

 

[Psychae]

FSSP.

The SSPX Masses look exactly the same but they are illicit. Stay away from the SSPX… They’re basically a cult.

 

[ProVobis]

Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Petri; FSSP

Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Pii X; FSSPX

Institutum Christi Regis Summi Sacerdotis; ICRSS

ICK is so unflattering IMO.

What are you talking about?

They still are in an irregular canonical situation.

 

[jas84173]

That’s ridiculous. We pray for Pope Francis at every Mass.

 

[Kei]

Ecclesia Dei, I don’t know if those masses fall under any of those.

 

[Psychae]

I’m pretty sure this doesn’t have anything to do with the issue being discussed. Praying for the Pope doesn’t mean anything is licit; Confession/ absolution faculties doesn’t mean the Mass is licit…

Wait, you said we… are you referring to yourself as SSPX? Because I was assuming you’re a layperson and lay people can’t actually be members of the SSPX.

 

[ProVobis]

By definition lay people can’t join a fraternity of priests.

 

[Psychae]

Twisted purposes is exactly right. I was brainwashed into thinking only “SSPXers” would get to heaven (and only then, if they were lucky) back when I attended their chapels.

 

[jas84173]

This is not true. I never thought that way and never have met anyone there who thinks that way. It’s not like we’re Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Just people that like the Tridentine Mass.
