  • Background

    Starting in 1981, a clerical candidate of the SSPX had to sign the attached Declaration of Fidelity before he was ordained to the subdiaconate.  The second last paragraph requires acceptance of the reforms of Pope John XXIII.

  • I was thinking the other day, is there any relation between St. Joseph having died under the Old Law and him not traditionally being included in the Canon?
    John 15:19  If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

  • In times of confusion, it seems unwise to insist on such details. Even before 2012, the SSPX lost many good priests because of this kind of thing.

  • I thought the problem with St. Joseph being in the Canon was that he was not a roman martyr. The main reason the others were there was because they were roman martyrs who served as the foundation of the roman rite.
    Besides that, since he wasn't there to begin with: it's not a good idea to change the canon; even to add him, since that opens the door to more changes.
