In my local SSPX chapel, it has been years since I've heard a good sermon that is relevant to real life today. Here's a simple sermon topic that they could teach, but never do:

"If any of you with children still watch television, you are not yet living a real Catholic life. Your first duty as parents is to raise your children for heaven, and in watching television, you have allowed your children to be lead away to be the slaves of the world. You parents still watching television, do not be surprised when your children stop going to mass, have premarital relations, use drugs, and become just like the world around you, for it was you who allowed the enemy to enter your home through the television.". ...........

There's the beginning of a sermon that you SSPX priests can continue from there, or can you? That is a relevant to life real world sermon subject that you could speak about practically every Sunday, but you won't, likely because maybe you are afraid of chasing away the Novus Ordo types, the lukewarm Catholics which come for the "smells and bells"?

I challenge you SSPX priests to provide the faithful with sermons that are clear and relevant to the struggle which we Catholic parents have against the world. I see the young people falling away to the world shortly after they graduate from high school, and I do not hear any of you addressing the problem. Personally, I have learned to do without you, and even have to correct the errors which you teach my children. But for the salke of all the pother parents that rely on you, I challenge you to become real shepherds, and not just hirelings.

That is the type of sermon I get to hear every week at my SSPX chapel.  The priest is constantly telling people to throw away the TV, get OFF OF THE CELLPHONES, delete the Facebooks, etc.  We get a great blend of the gospels applied to real world scenarios, and they are never "politically correct."  

Maybe our priest heard your challenge some time ago?

I agree with this. My SSPX Priest talks about the evils of modern media EVERY week, whether it's the main topic of the sermon or just a side note that he somehow connects to the main topic.

He also frequently condemns the Novus Ordo, calls it a new religion, and on one occasion said that the Novus Ordo is (in his exact words) "not a Mass".

I can't speak for other SSPX chapels because I don't go to many other ones that often, but all the stuff that is frequently complained about on Cathinfo concerning the "new direction" of the SSPX simply does not happen at my chapel. Deo Gratias!

It seems like those priests formed by HE Williamson "Brings the fight to the man". Those formed by Le Reux ...not so much.  HE Williamson trained Catholic  Worriers. Le Reux  forms Catholic Gentleman.

Are your priests Americans?

Yes, the priest at my chapel is.

I think that because they do not have a command of English, they have to keep their sermons simple. The combination can make  for a pretty much useless sermon.

I can see where this could be difficult.  Especially when trying to convey more challenging topics in a clear way.
