I cannot say for sure whether or not the Novus Ordo priests are true priests and Novus Ordo bishops are true bishops. I have seen the arguments on both sides and I do not know who is right. Many people in my chapel feel this way also and wouldn't go to the Mass of a Novus Ordo priest. That is one problem with the FSSP, which is why I would go to an Eastern rite Mass before an FSSP Mass. The other problem I have is that I consider them to be compromised because of their relationship with Rome.

It should also be noted that the FSSP only exists to pull people away from the SSPX (and other groups). If those other groups ceased to exist or became insignificant, how long before the FSSP's permission to exist was revoked? It's happened again and again that Rome (and local bishops) have pulled the plug on Traditional groups or priests under their control. Why presume the same wouldn't be the case for the FSSP?

Church supplies jurisdiction for the needs of the Faithful, including the sacraments of confession and matrimony

Well my friend who went from SSPX to FSSP told me they would not recognize her marriage as valid. Those were very bad news for her. I'm not sure what she had to do but still, it is a process.

First of all, she did not do something praiseworthy. The FSSP might be good as one first discovers Tradition, but you can't live on breast milk forever. At some point, you need to grow up and go 100% Traditional. Someone stepping DOWN to the FSSP is compromising and giving up in some way. It's just like taking the difficulty setting down in a game -- what would you think of such a player? Only the Faith isn't a game.

Well, the FSSP is one with the Novus Ordo -- you shouldn't be surprised. The Novus Ordo rejects a lot of good things, including the Mass of All Ages, the traditional Rosary, devotion to the Sacred Heart, Fasting and Abstinence, celebrating Feast Days on the weekday they fall on, First Fridays, and the list goes on.

The fact they don't recognize my marriage -- I should consider myself in good company.

If I went to join some heretical cult, I would also expect that its followers would look askance at my marriage, since it wasn't blessed by whatever Great Leader rules that particular cult.

God recognizes it, and that's all that matters to me.

Yes, the FSSP has a valid Mass, assuming the ordinations of the priests are valid (that's not exactly a non-issue, but it's a topic for another post). I would only go there if I had *no* other options.

I don't know if I actually could get myself to go to one of their Masses. Somehow I cannot even see myself walking in let alone actually assisting at one of their Masses no matter what.

Validity of priests aside, the FSSP freely agree to the validity and sanctity of the NO and it's mass, if they didn't, they would not be allowed to exist.

I wonder how an FSSP priest would react if you went to him in confession and confessed going to a Novus Ordo Mass as a sin.
