Most of these modern churches being built aren’t environmentally friendly either. 

  Many are over the top. 

Nothing like our churches of the past made of wood or stone:  holy, simple, modest and beautiful.

Wooden churches are not a good idea.

Pictures of St. Peregrine's from Facebook:

Including better view of altar and "resurrecifix".

In my opinion...  If they are going to have a "free-standing" altar it should at least have the three altar shelf's on it.  This is where the candles and flowers are usually placed for a high Mass.  Usually an altar with tiers on it helped to distinguish between an altar for a high Mass or a low Mass.  Traditional chapels often had more simple side altars for several priests to offer their morning low Masses at the same time and the high altar was for the sung Masses.

The priest in the video mentioned that they were trying to copy Saint Peter's in Rome.  I find interesting that apparently the altar over St. Peter's tomb was apparently originally a "ciborium" used for exposing the blessed Sacrament.  It was basically like a super large tabernacle.  And another important thing to remember is that only the Pope or one standing in his place for special ceremonies was allowed to offer Mass on this altar.  Usually the preferred location for Mass in Saint Peter's was the High Altar under the Chair of Saint Peter.

I will try and include some pictures in a few separate posts.

Pope Pius X Offering Mass over St. Peter's Tomb 

Several pictures I found while looking for the others...

That's a serious accusation. Can you name the particular chapel and instance? If there's any proof, this ought to be reported. If not, it is slanderous.

It’s been adequately dealt with here before, so I chose not to go into it again.  I have direct knowledge of one such situation, and two others chimed attesting to the same thing going on in others.  It’s well docuмented that SSPX exert total financial control over any given parish.  In the case I am familiar with, I cannot say exactly WHAT happened to the money, only that the chapel had several hundred thousand (close to half a million) collected 20 years ago that evaporated.  I personally donated $1,000 before I got suspicious.  They started from scratch just about 2-3 years ago and thus have an unfinished chapel (with bare white walls:  HINT) and significant debt.  In fact, they had plans drawn up 20 years ago that were much nicer.

Pope Pius XII - Mediator Dei

62. (...) But it is neither wise nor laudable to reduce everything to antiquity by every possible device. Thus, to cite some instances, one would be straying from the straight path were he to wish the altar restored to its primitive tableform; (...) were he to order the crucifix so designed that the divine Redeemer's body shows no trace of His cruel sufferings; (...)

I'm not sure how the FSSPX can evade or justify its choice of a tableform altar, in light of this passage.

Regarding the link showing the modernist crucifix, is this also at the new Immaculata Church in St. Mary's?  If so, it too would seem unjustifiable in light of the same Mediator Dei.

I would love to hear their response to this syllogism:

Major: They are straying from the straight path who wish to restore tableform altars, or design crucifixs without any sign of Our Lord's passion;

Minor: But the FSSPX is using tableform altars and crucifixs showing no trace of Our Lord's sufferings.

Conclusion: Theerefore, the FSSPX is straying from the straight path.
