I dont know, but I can tell you this much. I dont like the fact that people who go to the SSPX for the first time are instantly sought after to join this "Resistance" with its once a year masses, while at the same time secretly wondering whether any Catholic who starts going to the SSPX is a spy from the novus ordo. They need to get real IMO.
Got nothing against the resistance except for them having the same flaw as the SSPX, that being they recognize a false pope as pope, but other than that they are genuine Catholics. Until I see a reason why the resistance should be supported i have nothing to do with them, although I would go to a resistance mass out of curiosity. But as usual amongst the SSPX when the laity organize something, it is spread by word of mouth, and is not public. Hence the fact that when something is done like recording interviews to promote the faith, they stay in the private collection of someone, rather than actually being used for that purpose. Hence also the situation where a mass is held in someone's house, which purports to be a Catholic mass, but you need an invite to go to it, if you are even told it exists that is. I dont know whether to keep going. Add to this the ridiculous positions that the Indult does not have traditional doctrine, because you can only get that at the SSPX. ( The Extra SSPX nulla salus est). One does not see this paranoia at the dioscesan latin mass, nor this secrecy.
My point is, there is paranoia and secrecy among the SSPX laity and I see it as un-Catholic and I dont like it. Protestants are much more open and enthusiastic about increasing their number. The faith is not supposed to be a straight jacket that stops us from doing good deeds. Sure I will give you an example of what I talk about. I helped out at a protest in which me and other SSPX handed out leaflets, the leaflets had a website on them. You need a password to view the website.
Is that what it comes down to with SSPX Catholics? Passwords? Invites? Secret masses?
If this is so Im afraid the SSPX and the Resistance is going nowhere.
They should not act like they are reduced to the catacombs until they are actually IN the catacombs. They dont appreciate the freedom they have and the difference they can make.
Another example: One SSPX person I met is a millionaire. Instead of printing lots of leaflets about the SSPX to advertize the true mass and having them delivered to every house in the area, he laments his poverty, claims not to have enough money to fill his car with fuel, makes a hobby out of arguing with sedevacantists who reject the pope, while at the same time insulting the Indult who obey the pope, and holds the position that outside the SSPX there are no traditional Catholics, but since traditional Catholicism is necessary for salvation he is saying that outside the SSPX there is no salvation!?!?
Outrageous.
