I'm curious how your experience was like at the FSSP parish
and how was the CMRI and SSPX different? Especially since
all three groups say the same mass. We're the sermons better at
the SSPX and CMRI . Did the priests appear to be more holy?

Thank you and God bless!

I would say the priests were more zealous. There was a more relevant homily than I am used to. The priests obviously were not handcuffed by what they could say. The people present were along the same lines in dress and demeanour as the FSSP parish. Maybe slightly more strict and severe. Of course, there was a dose of bashing the new church, which I appreciated.

Now the challenge is that there is no CMRI chapel anywhere near my home. Closest is across the border and 4 hour drive. SSPX is closer. We'll have to start praying.

I forgot to add that the mass at the FSSP parish is good but the homily was full of pro new church garbage.

I am still a little confused about the valid ordination controversy. But, I have problems supporting the FSSP when they seem to support V2 and consequently the novus ordo church.

The CMRI chapel was enlightening. Something special.

I have a love for the Good Bishop, so I have a soft spot in my heart for the SSPX.

Yeah, FSSP sermons tend to have a lot of that in them.

And sadly, this is now the direction of development for the
ExSPX. I expect that within a year ExSPX parishes will be
indistinguishable from FSSP, at this current rate of change.

The change in the form used for ordination happened in 1970.
But the bishop's form of consecration was changed in 1968.
We just passed the 45th anniversary on June 23rd. It's now
45 years of Newbishops. Note: it took ABL 20 years (1988)
to consecrate bishops according to the old form.
