  • Our Lady of Sorrows is hosting a Fatima Mission this weekend.  Live streaming is available on youtube as well as the archived sermons from Friday 2/17 and Saturday 2/18.  I think the Mass will also be streamed live tomorrow morning at 9am MST, which is GMT -7.

  • Noticed they are using the Two Hearts emblem like a trademark in all official SSPX media.



    Does anyone know if Bp. Fellay has sought trademark(®) protection for the "Two Hearts" of St. Pope Pius X ?

    He claims copyright (©) for +ABL's sermons, but has never produced his evidence in court.

    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

  • Yes, the emblem has been in regular use for a few years now.  Our priests even have a set of vestments with it emblazoned on the back.

    The linked page has this as the trademark image:



    It seems to me that this is arguably not identical to the image they're using, because it has words written around it, and it is not a bold black image with square corners in the straight lines. Also, the cross has different thicknesses in its parts and it is separated from the crown by a space. There are spaces between other components of the crown as well. The two hearts do not have any weave pattern or distinction in this image but are like "melted" together as if made of wax. The crown band of this image is very close to the two hearts area whereas the image they're using as their letterhead and such shows a dramatic space under the crown band above the two hearts.

    It looks like a significantly different design to me, and therefore the one they're using everywhere might not be very well protected by trademark as one might think.
