Are people still attending the resistance Masses since…
« on: July 18, 2026, 09:15:16 AM »
…..the SSPX have consecrated more bishops without the approval of Rome? Surely the whole reason for the resistance was a concern that the SSPX were going to make a deal with Rome, accept Vatican II and this clearly hasn’t happened. I think it’s only a matter of time before all but the most die hard resistance members return to the SSPX.

Why is this Anonymous?

To answer your question, the fundamental reasons why the Resistance split is still there. The Society still wants a deal, they did these bishops out of desperation. They still accept the new rites, they still accept the new code of Canon law, they haven't apologized for the whole Hounder thing (in fact they consecrated the priest who assisted Hounder at that chrism mass). Nothing has changed fundamentally on their end, except they have some more bishops.

If Leo gave them permission to consecrate these four priests and welcomed them with open arms, they would have rejoiced and went along with it proclaiming their love and devotion to Rome.

They still have their Novus Ordo priests side by side with the real priests.

What we are seeing is just the second act of a long drama. Don't be naive.

I am unsure today as to the status of the "Extraordinary "rite, vs 'Ordinary' rite. What is actually the latest decree about TLM (Traditional Latin Mass) ? +Fellay was sooo thankful for Summorum Pontificuм, and didn't 'rock the boat' (the Barque) of Peter, and went along with this terrible downgrading of our Perfect Latin Tridentine Mass to Extraordinary garbage status.

  Will neoSSPX admit they derailed, when the 'bastard ' mass supplanted the Venerable Mass of the Ages?
  The attitude on this topic is the tip of the iceberg.   Vatican II 95% acceptable... Tradworld today, is observing and assessing the July 1 moment, and the dust is still settling, to put it mildly; I am just waiting and praying, but not holding my breath. NeoSSPX needs to identify /attack the enemy. Period. 
We must be ready to die for our Catholic Faith. 

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own;..." Jn 15: 18-19

The biggest change that has happened with the SSPX is their views on Sacramental theology. Abp. Lefebvre said in 1988 that all of the Sacraments coming out of the modern bishops and priests were doubtful (PM if you really need proof, because I have it). Nowadays, the SSPX thinks they're all valid. Furthermore, they think that probable validity for Protestant baptisms is good enough, despite the fact that a Pope condemned that proposition. https://sspx.org/en/must-priests-who-come-tradition-be-re-ordained-30479. For some reason this article is still up. The SSPX doesn't enforce modesty guidelines as much as they used to, and they will usually give Communion to immodestly dressed women, despite the pre-v2 Church saying no (again, I do indeed have proof of this as well). Furthermore, they don't care much about vetting newcomers like the SSPV (for example) does. A man could be an FBI agent infiltrator, or have been married again after receiving a dubious NO annulment, or have had an invalid baptism, or barely even know his own Faith, or all sorts of things. But the SSPX will usually give Communion to all kinds of strangers and newcomers. Are you someone who's totally Novus Ordo? Doesn't matter, you can receive our Sacraments. There is also a significant number of SSPX priests, especially in Europe, who believe that the NO Mass is licit if said according to the rubrics. (I did not use the word valid here; I used the word licit.) PM me if you want some resources about Bp. Zendejas describing how utterly pitiful the current state of the Society is. They are knee-deep in a Novus Ordo swamp, as Twice Dyed once put it. The Society is totally and utterly compromised; you cannot trust them for theological questions.
I believe that the SSPX are material heretics for these reasons, and that one should avoid them unless they have no better options. 
Feel free if you have any constructive criticism, but make sure to bring up good points if you do.
