Do I sense a reluctance to be seen agreeing with Br. Anthony...?
Bravo, Brother! I agree with you wholeheartedly!
Who is 'Brother Anthony'? Is he 'Ekim'? (apparently not......)
Can't throw the baby out with the bath water. Our Lord is still present, body, blood, soul and divinity at our local chapel of the SSPX. The priest does not, nor has he ever, spoken heresy. He has never promoted or encouraged any flavor of modernism. I can find no justification to deny Our Lord His Sunday obligation.
As good an argument as any I've ever heard for going to an Indult Mass when there's no SSPX in town..!
While I do not mean to sound harsh, and while I have no doubt this was meant sincerely, I do not see this as a compelling argument. In fact, it is no argument - otherwise it would also be an argument for going to an Indult Mass if one's nearest SSPX Mass were only monthly, for example.
If we wait until we hear heresy openly preached or until your SSPX priest starts offering the Novus Ordo it will be too late. The generation who lived through Vatican II and its aftermath had an excuse: nothing quite like that had happened before for a very long time if ever. There was no recent precedent.
We, on the other hand, do not have any excuse.
As has been said before, everyone needs to see for themselves what is the right thing to do. But I have yet to hear a really compelling argument for staying with the SSPX at this stage. Only a general desire to have the sacraments, which I think, really, ought not to be our primary, overriding concern.
And so, you're promoting what? If sacraments are not our primary,
overriding concern, then pray tell, what is?
You have not explained
why you think that going to an Indult
Mass is a bad idea. You only imply that NOT going is a GOOD idea,
but without any specific reason!
To be clear, when it is only a matter of one single person, one has
a lot more freedom of choice, but when it involves a family with
children or at least a spouse, it gets more complicated:
"Where are we going to Mass this week, daddy? My friend Suzie
wants to know."
"Well, we can't go to St. Didacus because Fr. Marks is coming to
town and he's probably going to preach on making a 'deal' with
modernist Rome."
"Oh.... So, where can we go instead, to St. Stephen's?"
"Well, no, because they're sedevacantist, and we don't want to
even 'go there'."
ETC.
