  • As the SSPX was making its branding transformation back in 2012-2013, there were several threads noting various changes to the appearance and content of SSPX websites (which seemed to be following suit with the then-announced new editorial policy of The Angelus, which we were told would no longer be so adversarial and combative).

    For whatever reason, this memory occurred to me just now, so I went to SSPX.org to discover what I might find there 8-9 years later.

    Not surprisingly, if you go to SSPX.org right now, there is absolutely nothing on the first/homepage indicating that the SSPX opposes Vatican II, or that there is a doctrinal crisis in the Church stemming from that council, nor that Lefebvre founded the SSPX to carry on the traditional priesthood "and all that pertains to it" (which would include the fight against Roman modernism).

    Most will have forgotten about this transformation in SSPX website content, but if you compare the current SSPX.org to the old SSPX.org website (which was 90% articles opposing the various manifestations of modernism in the conciliar church), the contrast is striking.
    Rom 5: 20 - "But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more."

  • You can use the Wayback Machine -- internet archive -- to look at the old website at any date in the past. There are multiple "snapshots" taken for posterity.

    Know what the new SSPX.org website looks like? Fssp.com -- only more slick, modern, and expensive. How about that!

  • Woe to those who think they can fool God!  Woe to those who think that "branding" can hide a change of orthodoxy!

  • There too busy building new million-dollar mass centers while taking care of the displaced Novus Ordo Catholics they grabbed during the pandemic.  All the while deserting the faithful who stuck with them through the tough times.

    That is the Fraternity of St. Peter
    "In His wisdom," says St. Gregory, "almighty God preferred rather to bring good out of evil than never allow evil to occur."
