peterp,
A Jєωιѕн lawyer who has been reading the Open Letters on SS Peter and Paul Mission website for two years (over and over) in order the prove the Mission a cult...etc. has converted and asked to be baptized last Thursday, Oct. 9th. confessing Our Lord Jesus Christ as God. Obviously, the Mission is defending the Catholic faith and saving souls. And your newly "reintegrated" SSPX?... well we know where that is going. You are not going to convert the Romans, they will convert you.

Marie Auxiliadora, I have no knowledge about your Jєωιѕн friend but I doubt he has been privy to the things Drew has written on this forum.
Perhap you should direct him here, or direct him to:
i) Miaskiewicz's dissertation on Supplied Jurisdiction and how the supply of jurisdiction cannot extend beyond the limits within which it is restricted by law. So how was this so-called "mission" erected, when only an Ordinary has the power to erect a
pius union?
ii) Mystici Corporis Christi. Perhaps he can explain why Drew is right and this is wrong:
"Since He was all wise He could not leave the body of the Church He had founded as a human society without a visible head. Nor against this may one argue that the primacy of jurisdiction established in the Church gives such a Mystical Body two heads. For Peter in view of his primacy is only Christ's Vicar; so that there is only one chief Head of this Body, namely Christ, who never ceases Himself to guide the Church invisibly, though at the same time He rules it visibly, through him who is His representative on earth."iii) explain away Drew's comment of:
"The power belongs essentially (per se) to the Church and only accidently (per accidens) to the Roman Pontiff." versus
"Hence it is that heretics have ever sought to destroy or at least to weaken this legislative power. The following are the chief errors on this head: ... Nicholas de Hontheim suffragan of the Archbishop of Treves, having in 1763 published a book under the assumed name of Febronius, conceded to the Pope but an accidental power to enact or rather propose laws ..." (Elements of Ecclesiastical Law, Sebastian Bach Smith [includes an approbation by Blessed John Henry Newman])
By the way, I should remind you that the "mission" - according to it's website - considers itself "integrated" and has, on a number of occasions, asked the local Ordinary to come and bless the "Mission" and to administer confirmations. But I think you've just let something slip; it is all lip-service with no real desire for this at all.
So it remains for Drew to tell us in what capacity he is writing since what he has written does reflect on the "Mission". Would you not agree?
