schismatic sect
« on: Yesterday at 10:58:33 AM »
Language is getting rather harsh.  Rome is getting really cocky.

From the article in the quote below they don't even acknowledge Pius X as a saint.
"Named after an early 20th-century pope who opposed modernising Catholic doctrine, the Society of Saint Pius X was founded in 1970 "

I would say that the mere use of the name "Society of Saint Pius X" suffices to establish that fact.

It wouldn't apply here, but if you will ever notice, the more Newchurch someone is (especially on the "right", think Where Peter Is and their ilk), the more adamant they are in using the "Saint" title to refer to post-Vatican II saints, especially the popes, Saint John Paul II this, Saint Paul VI that, and so on.  Sometimes they go whole hog and say "Pope St John Paul the Great".  Anything to chisel into stone the legitimacy of the past sixty years.

If they ever elevated Francis to that level (something, tellingly, that has not happened yet, nor is there AFAIK any cause for his canonization), I would need a daily dose of maximum-strength Zantac to withstand the constant barrage of "Pope St Francis the Great" :facepalm:

I think what annoyed me about my perception was, as you point out, the way Newchurch is so adamant about using the "Saint" title for recently canonized persons to the exclusion of using the title for saints prior to Vat II.

france24.com is just a news outlet...I has no ties with Rome, or I am mistaken? Article was written by By:

Bahar MAKOOI , 

I do agree that 80 % of the article is highly critical of SSPX, repeating the word 'sect' 11 times; and targetted SOS Calvaires for showing a tall cross.

How about finding a Vatican report, just to hear their position re: visit to France and Sspx relations.

France24 is just the news division of the public broadcaster in France. So, no, no ties to the Church.
