Novus Ordo SSPX????

CathMom: the best thing you can do for your priest is to correct him & resist him to His face!

I know it seems bold but it's either that or a big bucket of ice cold water. You have to shake them out of their errors.

I've already done it & the priest could not say one word.

Quote from: OP
Our priest today publicly chastised those of us who visit internet forums and criticize the superiors of the Society.  He gave a sermon on Obedience as taught by St. Ignatius.  He even went so far as to say "if you superiors tell you black is white then you must believe it."  He said, also, that he has been to these forums and read some of the comments criticizing Bishop Fellay and Fr. Rostand, and that those who are doing this are no true Catholics, but Catholics without charity.


I read this to my 19 year old daughter.  She was shocked.  She suggested that if this ever happened at the SSPX chapel we attend about twice a month she would stand up immediately and tell father (during his sermon) that this is evil.  

If a "superior" (and please note that there are no SSPX priests who have jurisdiction over the lay faithful, so neither he nor Bishop Fellay is a legitimate superior of any of the laity) commands us to believe what is opposed to reason (e.g., "black is white") then he is a cult leader, a wolf in sheep's clothing.  

Has it really come down to this?  Is the SSPX being transformed into a cult?  Just yesterday I would never have believed it.  I am beginning to become unsure.

The church is made up of human beings. And very fewe are exempt from being worthy of some criticism. Even Paul criticised Peter when he was wrong.

Sorry about that.  I edited it wrong.  The quote was from the original post that started the topic.
