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.

Correct.

I haven't filled one out in 10 years.

For those who do, they become subject to the ordinary jurisdiction of the conciliar SSPX.

Get it?

Sounds like the SSPX is trying to collect all the souls it feels it has misled over the years, and ensure they are included in the great absolution which will occur when the formal deal is announced, to pacify their now scrupulous conscience for rejecting the...ahem...."official church."

Bishop Williamson said that SSPX has "supplied jurisdiction".  They have always had
"supplied jurisdiction".  He said that SSPX has no power to keep people as members
of their chapels.  People are free to come and go as they please.  And, if nobody goes
to an SSPX chapel, they lose jurisdiction.  

So, the question is ...

HOW DID SSPX in Saint Marys GET THE AUTHORITY TO DEMAND PEOPLE FILL OUT
A CENSUS CARD ??

Logical conclusion: SSPX has an agreement with Rome and keeps it secret OR they
are lying about having the authority to demand census cards be filled out.

Either way, I'm not filling one out.

Next step:  You get an ID card in the mail with a computer chip in it,
which you have to scan at the chapel door to be admitted for Mass,
baptism, confession, etc.

And, of course, you cannot be buried in the cemetery without an ID card.
Fr. Rutledge was reluctant to have a funeral Mass for a guy who was in
the Resistance.

I think this is just a way for the new-sspx to keep a tally on how many attend their chapels.  So +Fellay can brag about how big their society is.  And to also see if they are losing members.  Maybe to calculate $ contributions per family.  +Fellay runs the new-sspx like a corporation, just like new-rome runs the conciliar Church.  You gotta have metrics to showcase at the next annual business meeting (er...I mean, annual chapter meeting).

But you miss an important point:

None of the SSPX priests are "pastors" with jurisdiction. They are lifeboat residents in an emergency situation. (Of course, this is rapidly changing. They already are part of Conciliar Rome in all but name only, but I digress.)

I'm sure every cruise ship is required by the government to have a passenger manifest. But are official records made when people are loading onto lifeboats when the main boat is sinking -- does each lifeboat keep official paperwork? NO!  I think it would get wet. Lifeboats are small, and using them is by nature hasty, and usually during an emergency.
