To Matto: The trad forums at least give us fairly accurate field reports of neo-SSPX shenanigans.
So accurate in fact, Society priests are known to follow it regularly to find out what's happening in their Order.
Never doubt for a moment that the Society of St. Pope Pius X is corrupted and has seriously degenerated.
And their leaders maliciously continue to mislead the Catholic remnant.
Short of a miraculous intercession from Our Lady, they're gone.
I follow the forums so I am aware that there are problems in the SSPX and I do not have the trust in Bishop Fellay I wish I had. And I attend an SSPX chapel so I know what is going on locally. I will tell you how I feel. I think my chapel is more liberal than it was in 2008 when I first attended Mass there. The priests who offer Mass there now do seem good for the most part. The current pastor only said one thing from the pulpit that I did I did not like and that was perhaps too conservative and not too liberal, though it was ambiguous. I do not think the change amounts to a defection from the faith so I believe the SSPX is still a part of the Catholic Church and it is still safe to attend Mass there. I could describe myself like someone who liked reading
The Point in 1955 but still went to his local Catholic Church and did not move across the country to live near the St. Benedict Center. I am happy with my spiritual life for the most part. The biggest sign of the liberalism really is that the indult Masses are not condemned as openly as they used to be. The priest will tell you privately to stay away from the indult but he does not condemn it publicly and there are some who attend both the indult and the SSPX. I am sympathetic to the resistance, but I have problems with it as well. I do not know if it is allowed to speak about these problems on Cathinfo so I will not mention the problems I have with Bishop Williamson but I consider some of them serious. Father Pfeiffer points them out and some of his arguments are good in my opinion. But I do not respect Father Pfeiffer anymore and I no longer watch his sermons because I think he has problems which seem even worse than Bishop Williamson's or the SSPX's. I went to two of Father Pfeiffer's Masses in the early days of the resistance and a large Catholic family who used to attend Mass at my mission actually moved to Boston Kentucky to live with Father Pfeiffer. I think they are still there now but are planning to move away. Those are some of my thoughts about the resistance.
