I want to go to Heaven. I want the Faith. It doesn’t matter to me what the actual people call themselves, Resistance, Fake Resistance, Catholic Faith of Tradition, R & R, Sedevacantist, Sedeprivationists, and so forth.
Yes, I AM a woman; one who’d like nothing more than to have a chapel where I could go every Sunday and never concern myself with whether the priest is real, the Sacraments are valid and licit, there’s a Godly bishop proclaiming the Faith in public and rebuking civil authorities when necessary, when there is a Pope in Rome who proclaims the unadulterated Catholic Faith to the world. Barring this, it’d be great to have a husband, children, extended family and Catholic friends with which I’m surrounded. God has apparently willed I have none of these. I do the best I can, solo. As to Mass, Sacraments, and priest, I take what little I can get when it presents itself. If an SSPX priest, ordained by Bp. W. is willing drive to hear my Confession and give Communion, I’m availing myself of the opportunity. Whatever his sins of affiliation with this bishop or that, leaning towards Sede or not, membership in a priestly fraternity, be it SSPX, SSPV, CMRI, or whatever, these are not matters of Faith or morals. If he’s a notorious public sinner, then no, I don’t want him. If such is not the case, he takes the “wrong” stand on clerical matters, matters upon which I am unqualified to judge and about which many holy priests, religious, and bishops cannot agree, I am not guilty of whatever errors he may turn out to hold. If the form, matter, and intention are correct, and he is willing to assist me, I’d be a fool to refuse.
Seraphina, your longing for Heaven and the Faith is real, but settling for any priest who is compromised with the Conciliar Church, its errors, or false positions such as Sedevacantism is spiritually dangerous. Such compromise takes the fight out of the soul, weakens supernatural faith, and is not merely a matter of clerical politics; it is a matter of Faith and morals. You are not abandoned. When sacraments are doubtful or compromised, spiritual communions, acts of perfect contrition, and the rosary bring abundant grace, often more than compromised clergy could give. Better to suffer without sacraments for a time than to risk betraying the Faith. Hold fast, for Our Lady promised, “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.” Viva Cristo Rey.
