FSSP?

[Bl_Pope_Pius_IX]

I think the confusion comes from the fact that the SSPX also goes by the name of the FSSPX.

OP, I would not recommend anyone who has a vocation to the priesthood to apply to the SSPX.

The reason is simple. No one has any idea what is going to happen with them. If heaven forbid they are put in schism, then you will be outside of the Church, although the SSPX will try to convince you otherwise.

If you really like them, maybe wait a while or apply to the FSSP.

The only fashionable quality I find with the SSPX that the FSSP doesn’t have is that the SSPX seems to be involved with the French Monarchist movement. I like that a lot, but not enough to risk my Eternal soul.
