Questions about the SSPX

[maurin]

Now that’s an interesting claim. Considering that the SSPX consider themselves to be in complete union with the Magisterium, I would think you would be hard pressed to find an example of a Fraternity priest encouraging a schismatic attitude. Sure, there might be some schismatic-minded laity that attend, but it is foolish to base one’s faith on the teachings of the laity, no?

Though, since you speak as if you are familiar with the deleterious effects of attending an SSPX Mass, I’d be interested in hearing a specific example.

I’d be interested in hearing a specific example of what you believe the SSPX “creates” that is not in conformity with Catholic tradition?

Our Dear Sweet Shmoopy LoveyDovey Auntie M is familiar with the SSPX: she has already made the claim to me on another thread that she spent years assisting at their Masses. But our Dear Sweet Shmoopy Lovey Dovey Auntie Emmie refused to offer what “really happened” at her local SSPX Chapel. (Which made me think–now I could be wrong, and wouldn’t be surprised if I were wrong, but I swear her refusal to talk about it even though she slams the SSPX by spreading false information–she’s never been to an SSPX Chapel in her life.)

Sweetie Poochie mookie dookie Auntie M, isn’t that right, Dear ? ( you stop calling me “Dear” and I’ll start calling you Auntie M. Fair enough?)

Interesting. I haven’t met any disenfranchised SSPX chapel-goers, and if they indeed held a grudge, I doubt it would be one of suddenly developing a schismatic mindset.

Obviously, I’m only speaking for myself but I think its silly and contradictory to argue that the Fraternity priests (who, again, hold strongly to the position that they are in communion) would start encouraging the laity to reject communion with Rome. That seems an attitude that might be more likely perpetuated amongst the laity (though I haven’t seen it).

First off, it’s not only the FSSP that offers the EF. There’s also the ICRSS plus many faithful secular clergy (plus some religious of other Orders and congregations) who willingly offer the EF.

Secondly, whether the FSSPX is in “schism” or not I suggest be left to the canon lawyers to sort out.

I think you misunderstood me, I was not saying the FSSP was in schism, as I don’t believe they are.

Maurin, if you go back and reread that post, you will see that I never said anything like what you have said that I “assisted at their masses”.

I’m sorry you misunderstood my post, if I had known you didn’t understand it, I would have clarified it sooner.

What I did say, is that I have followed them (their actions) for around 4 years now. I did visit 3 or 4 times, and soon realized that it was not for me. Too much Vatican/pope bashing, and I must add, by the priest. I have talked with present goers, past goers, (even some past SSPX priests) The society will try to discredit you any way they can if you try to quit them. They almost ruined one priest.
I have done my research, books, tapes, and websites. I do wonder if anyone going to SSPX masses have done any research for themselves. It would definitely do yourself a service if you do.

Now, Dear, with that cleared up, do you have a problem with someone trying to be nice to you, cause that is all I have tried to do. You, however, may call me whatever you like.

Yes shmoopy, I did misunderstand you, Dear. But overall, sweetie poopie, my assessment was correct: 3 or 4 rendez-vous does not an accurate opinion make, does it snookums?

If calling people Dear is how you are nice to people, and it doesn’t occurr to you, darlin’, that it is condescending, and when, honeykins, someone requests that you stop it and you continue to condescend to them, I’m quite certain–well, at least I’m willing to bet, punkin, that you don’t intend to be nice at all, but insulting.

Isn’t that right, Dear ?

I never intend to be condescending, and if you have been offended, I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t realize you were so sensitive.Most people like that I call them Dear. It makes a more pleasant conversation.

So, just what would you like to be called. As I said you may call me anything you like.
I personally like Snookums, my Dad used to call me that.

Now, as far as my research, it is quite extensive and complete. You failed to read the entire post, again. Where my research went as far as talking to x-SSPX priests, and present and past goers. Maybe you would do well to do some yourself. I never thought of it as a rendez-vous??? With my research and personal witness, I am very capable of making an informed decision.

Just as a bit of an anecdote, many of us cold northerners immediately get suspicious when we hear the term “Dear” or “Honey” used, as those titles aren’t usually adopted unless someone is trying to be sarcastic or flippant.

When I went to visit some relatives down in Texas and Georgia a few years ago it took some time for me to get used to everyone calling me “hon,” “honey” or “dear.”

wow, I’ve never been apologized to and hit below the belt all in the same paragraph! You’re amazing. Dear. And your personal witness, babe–as extensive and complete as I’m sure it is,Sophia, leaves something to be desired.
