SSPX says "Canon Law requires pastors to keep a parish census book"

I have seen announcements before requesting people to fill out census card, but this is the first time I have ever seen a note that Canon law requires" it. Does anyone know if other SSPX chapels have the same note about Canon law?

"ASSUMPTION CHAPEL  INFORMATION FORMS
 Canon Law requires pastors  to keep a parish census book.  All attending Mass or receiving  sacraments at Assumption Chapel are requested to complete the Information Form available in the vestibule and at the switchboard.  This includes those 18 and above even if still living at home. "

I wouldn't fill one out.  While Canon Law may require that a pastor take a census, it probably does not require that the lay people actually take the census.

Furthermore, no SSPX chapel is a cononically erected "parish" and the priests of the parish aren't pastors appointed by the diocesan bishop.

Excellent. I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates using those terms when describing a traditional chapel.
