SSPX and Women

[paramedicgirl]

OOOHHH that might entice him (seeing as he just qualified for his learners permit )…but he is kinda stuck on that Rugby thing …but can we come visit

Of course you can come vist. It’s really not that far. Only 3,000 miles, I think. And don’t forget, I’m having’ a party for the SSPX reunion with Rome.

Whenever that is.

Ahh…so how do you paint your friends that are SSPX? In good light or bad?

I’m not sure what you mean? I guess would paint them in a misguided light. I’m sure everyone will have a different experience with SSPX people. My friends are on a mission to recruit everyone to the SSPX because they are the Remnant, the only ones that hold the True Faith. Like I said, I think that there are so many different “denominations” in the SSPX that I’m sure that most of us will find our friends and relatives to be quite different from one another. I have people who are in pretty deep.

I also think that many will find that their friends and relatives who start out going because they love the Tridentine will slowly imbibe the schismatic mentality. My friends were definitely not always the “if I can’t make it to the chapel then I won’t go to Mass” types of people.

actually it is allowed if you are not doing it in a “bashing way”

Thanks! It appears they have changed the rules in my absence.

What does sspx stand for?

What does sspx stand for?

“Society of St. Pius X.” (St. Pius X is no doubt rolling over in his grave; he was never a proponent of disobedience.)

“Society of St. Pius X.” (St. Pius X is no doubt rolling over in his grave; he was never a proponent of disobedience.)

Had the later Popes imitated St. Pius X, there would never have been a need for an SSPX.

The idea that blind obedience is the first law of the Church is absurd and obscene.

St. Pius X hated modernism more than anything and to think he would have surveyed the post Vatican II church and rolled over in his grave because of LeFebvre and not the scandals of his post council successors would be completely illogical.

But this sort of thing exists everywhere, even among those Catholics who are not in favor of the SSPX.

I’m sure he is turning in his grave. The priests and bishops faithful to the Church are condemned for not supporting the Modernism he fought so hard to do away with. If I were him I’d be out of my grave by now opening a can of you-know-W-H-A-T.

I think you misunderstand what Modernism is. In any case, it’s completely out of fashion, now. We are well into Post-modernism, now.

Modernism thought that science was the solution to all of our problems. Modernism gave us “don’t walk” lights to keep us safe from ourselves. Post-modern man walks against the “don’t walk” light, and does whatever he thinks is right at any particular moment, without regard for external rules. (In this way, the SSPX are ideal Post-modernists - they do what seems right to them without regard for external authority.)

When the authority is wrong (and common sense usually helps in determining this) it is not wrong to disobey. There are two extremes: The Pope is God, the Pope is just a man. Then there’s the middle ground: see Vatican Council I.

The speed limit is 35 in town. I have a man in my car bleeding from a gunshot wound. Do I drive 35 to the hospital because it’s legal? What if I thought the wound was serious, but it truly wasn’t? Did I sin be going over the limit?

My sister’s being mugged across the highway. Do I run to the crosswalk in order to get to her legally? If I can mke it straight across the highway, am I doing something wrong?

Let’s go back to Nazi Germany. Were the Christians offending God by hiding Jews? What about the convents that transfered St. Teresa Benedicta and her sister, to keep them from the authorities? They sinned in this, yes?

One last thing, I suggest you read into modernism and liberalism. Find out what it is, *and *why it was condemned. Read what the popes said would happen if this and that were permitted. *Then, *if you wish to justify it simply because some authority figures practice it or give it the OK, by all means, do what you will, but please don’t condemn those who take papal warning seriously.
