  • The Indult is part of the Novus Ordo religion. So yes, they have left the Catholic Church.

    Agree.

  • The Novus Ordo sect has not been juridically separated from the Church, therefore, those who, in good faith believe it is the Catholic Church, are not presumed to be outside the Church.

    Sure, the individuals who are ignorant of the distinction between the Novus Ordo and the Catholic Church would not be culpable. But, the fact still remains that they are leaving the structures of the Catholic Church to attending a non-Catholic worship.

    Is that how you interpret it?

    The SSPX is part of the Catholic Church (for now). The Conciliar Church is more debatable. The Indult is part of that Conciliar milieu...

  • One of the FSSPX priest from Europe in a recent sermon was very critical of churches where both NO and TLM Masses coexist - I guess this is what happens where indult used to take place and now some NO priests slowly transition. He almost directly said that it is better for the soul to attend NO rather than mix them up.

    That's ridiculous. How would it be better for the soul to adhere to a blatantly false rite, than, at minimum, a cosplay of the true Mass? At least with the false Indult rite you're getting exposed to the accidentals of the True Mass, even though it lacks its substance. With the Novus Ordo Missae you get not only something visibly repugnant, but also lacking any substance of the Faith whatsoever.

    One can argue that blurring the difference between NO and TLM and normalizing their coexistence in the same church is a way worse evil. As it would be to faithful to chose. Fr. Hesse warned against indult as well.

    Fr. Hesse recommended against actually communing in the Indult if it was uncertain whether the hosts were consecrated in the NO or the TLM, but he actually said you *should* attend there if you don't have an SSPX to go to.  He said you should go to the SSPX at least once a year to receive communion, and he said FSSP/indult sermons might be some small percentage unorthodox (which isn't a ringing endorsement) whereas SSPX sermons were reliable.  

    The idea that its leaving the Catholic Church to go to the Indult makes no sense and I don't see how someone who believes that isn't essentially making *themselves* to be the Pope.

    That was at least 15 years ago.  The SSPX and the Indult certainly haven't gotten any better in that time.

    Sure, I was just responding based on what was said

    I cannot find an exact quote from fr. Hesse to support my point momentarily but also do not remember (and I listened to all his tapes like 3 times) that "you *should* attend there if you don't have an SSPX to go to". Interesting.
    The question is what does it mean to leave the Catholic Church. I would say it is to cut yourself off from an uncompromised teaching and sacraments. So while there are individual indult and FSSP priests who truly stick to the Tradition, it is probably hard to say it in general about those two groups. Hence general answer is NO.
