SSPX Resistance News / Re: Doubtful Sacraments Increasing in the SSPX
« Last post by Ladislaus on August 11, 2025, 06:54:26 AM »
But, even then, the list with pictures would be of limited usefulness in situations where you go to a chapel less than regularly for various reasons.  Even if you show up on a Sunday and the regular priest is there, you can't be sure whether what's in the ciborium in the tabernacle is actually the Blessed Sacrament, since the week before they could have brought in some fill-in.

Just as a tip, in cases like that, keep an eye out for whether the current priest (if he's known to be valid) is consecrating a ciborium during the Mass, and if he is, make sure you're in the very back for Holy Communion, the hope being that the ciborium in the tabernacle will "run out" and so the priest has to switch to the one he had just consecrated during the Mass.

I used to know an Indult / Motu priest (ordained prior to Vatican II), who would always consecrate the ciborium also when he offered the Tridentine Mass, and then would distribute Holy Communion from that one, not the one in the tabernacle, which seems contrary to normal practice.  Since he also said the NOM, I doubt it was because he felt it might be invalid ... but I imagine one or another of the faithful there may have asked him for this. There were a couple of prominent families close to this priest, and who bankrolled a lot of that church's Tridentine Mass operation, so I suspect they may have had something to do with it.

But, it really is sad that the faithful are in this position with SSPX ... where you have to keep an eye on what the priest is doing, or wait until the same priest has been there two weeks in a row, or receive Holy Communion as far toward the end of the line as possible hoping that he switches ciboria.  Those are the types of things that Indult Mass attendeeds used to have to do.

As for SSPX Masses, I will go only if I can reasonably find out about the ordination status of the priest. If an unknown priest shows up, I’ll ask around a little bit, maybe check online if there’s information to be had. Normally, there isn’t much time to do this. If I’m uncertain and I can leave without a disruption, that’s what I do. I’ve become accustomed to not having Mass or Sacraments. I had neither for nearly three years during Covid. The one Mass I could physically access was no longer an option because one had to have proof of the “safe and effective sickness 💉 to enter.
My health is not what it once was, so I can no longer work from 6:30-4:00, drive two hours, go to Confession, Mass, and adult catechism, eat dinner, drive another two hours, circle around 45-60 minutes in search of a parking space, walk home, go to bed at 1:00 AM, get up at 5:00 AM, and go to work the next day.
If you have regular access to a certainly ordained traditional priest, Mass, and Sacraments, don’t take it for granted. Go as often as you can because the time may come when it is taken away. 

I am sorry ... and THIS here is yet another example of what neo-SSPX do to the faithful with their hubris in refusing conditional ordination, which just the mere charity of putting souls like yourself at peace.  In this case, given the general state of uncertainty, your practice has been to miss out on the Sacraments when you can't ascertain the ordination status of some unfamiliar priest.  Again, the SSPX have been more and more sly, refusing to publish the priest's name in the bulletin and the priest often does not announce his name.  There was one Sunday I missed receiving Holy Communion myself, since there was a strange priest there (who seemed suspicious), and I could not ascertain his ordination status.  That's actually what inspired me to set up this site here.

https://sspxfakepriests.substack.com/p/gallery

This way, there's perhaps just a bit of hope to visually identify the suspect.  While there are others lists out there, like Catholic Candle, I felt that what was missing was putting the names together with pictures (though CC did have a few).

I will be adding a certain "Father" McLucas to the list (also an accused sɛҳuąƖ predator) ... who has also been "assiting" at SSPX chapels.  Sean Johnson listed him in the article and I've found some pictures.

So, that's why I was hoping to get as complete a list as possible, hoping to get to a point that if the priest you see is not in the above gallery, it's very likely that he's valid.  You can't be 100% certain of course, since they could throw a last-minute new priest out there.  I wonder if there's a way to keep an eye out on "who's on deck", as it were, at the training center in Phoenix.

But for my missing the Sacraments and your missing them, and God only knows how many others ... the arrogant neo-SSPX will have to answer to God, since we can't "waste" 30 minutes of a bishop's time to set things right and put the consciences of the faithful at peace.

Just for the record, could I ask?  Are you one of those "evil" sedevacantists?  Evidently only sedevacantists have this problem, and they're the ones who made up this crackpot "theory" about there being some positive doubt about the New Orders, based upon nothing other than the fact that they completely changed the essential form of the Rite of Episcopal Consecration to something entirely novel that may slightly resemble something in the Eastern Rite that may or may not even be a consecration Rite (vs. an installation Rite of someone who's already a bishop).  So, based on that trivial nothingburger, those wicked sedevacantists made up this absurd theory that there MIGHT be some prudent and reasonable doubt.

That is my type of of dentistry!  ^^^ :cowboy:

I am very sensitive to anesthetics...  Last time I had a filling I was sick for 3 days... 

It sounds like maybe I could figure out a good recipe and make my own tooth powder but might buy some in the meantime.  Thank you so much for sharing all the wisdom and knowledge!  We are missing this SO MUCH now-a-days! 
Not for me! I’d prefer the amateur dentist get me drunk or hit me with a rubber mallet. Or he’s got to be REALLY fast!

Well said Seraphina. Sorry to hear you are so isolated. Circling around for 60 mins to find a park?? Reminds me of a joke that the young ladies might appreciate. Trying to find a good man is like trying to find a parking space at the shopping centre: all the good ones are taken, and the ones that aren't are handicapped!
It’s no longer that I’m physically isolated, there’s a n.o. a mile away, but they have the 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ flags out front. No way! During the worst of the c-sickness, the Mass was in Canada. No proof of Fauxi’s 💉, not getting into the country. At least I now have a priest who visits me every six weeks. For certain he’s ordained, by Bp. Williamson. I’m thankful he’s willing to come. There are plenty of people around, just no traditional Catholics.

Yes, it was. I know that from my parents and grandparents. During the Depression, people used salt or baking soda for tooth powder. Mom was quite poor as a child, so they didn’t go to dentists.  If a tooth got really nasty, you washed your mouth out with alcohol or witch hazel water or vinegar, then grandma pulled it with string and pliers. You just did without.

Growing up all we had was Pepsodent Tooth Powder.  They used to advertise it on radio then Tv with the jingle...You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.

The can was shaped like this but blue.



Found a picture

So neat!  Thank you so much for sharing pictures and all!

The Library / Re: Solving 9-11: The Deception That Changed the World

Yes, WTC building 7.
There is video footage of Larry Silverstein saying "pull it" referring to the order to detonate the explosives in building 7. There is also video footage of the explosives going off to bring building 7 down. I also believe that Flight 93 was shot down in PA as Donald Rumsfeld stated.

I never believed the Flight 93 Todd Beamer "let's roll" story for a second. Just like I never believed that Bin Laden was captured and killed in the "zero dark thirty" military mission. He was long dead already as Benαzιr Bhutto said and, of course, she was killed shortly after saying it.
