    • The Society’s Silence: What Happened to the Prophetic Voice of the SSPX?

    For many years, the Society of St. Pius X was a voice crying out in the wilderness. When the Church seemed to abandon her own traditions and embrace the modern world with open arms, it was the SSPX that stood up, refused to conform, and denounced the errors with apostolic clarity. They warned of a “new religion,” identified the dangers of ecuмenism, and fearlessly called modernist Rome to conversion. Whether one agreed or disagreed with their canonical standing, few could deny the moral courage they displayed when nearly every other traditional voice had been silenced or absorbed.

    But something changed.

    Under the pontificates of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, the SSPX was vocal, aggressive, and spiritually militant. Under Francis, and now Leo XIV, that voice has been muted. It is not merely a matter of tone but of mission. The SSPX of the 1990s and early 2000s was on fire. The SSPX of 2025 feels like it's been professionally managed, polished, and de-fanged.

    What happened to the Society that once stood in opposition to the errors of the age, regardless of the consequences?

    ....

    The SSPX Faithful Deserve the Truth


    None of this is to say the SSPX is invalid or useless. They provide the sacraments. They educate children. They form priests. For thousands of families, they are the last refuge from a Church that often feels hostile to its own patrimony.
    And that is precisely the tragedy.

    Because the faithful deserve more than silence. They deserve truth.

    When those entrusted with preaching and shepherding choose diplomacy over doctrine, when they pull their punches for fear of losing favors, then they are no longer fulfilling their apostolic mission. They are managing a brand.

    This doesn’t mean the SSPX is wicked. It means they are at a crossroads. Their silence may be strategic. It may be fearful. It may be the fruit of some unspoken understanding with Rome.

    Whatever it is, it is not the voice of Archbishop Lefebvre. And it is not the SSPX many of us once knew.

    • Inserting the name of Bergoglio in the canon came with a steep price. 

    How could you keep that many people from novus ordo that flocked in if you preached in the same way as before? Now that sspx is not in hotels and homes anymore, but rather in bigger churches and chapels, how could you finance all of it? From a business perspective it makes the most sense doesn't it? You don't bite the hand that feeds you. 

    How could you allow yourself for Bergoglio to give you concessions? Archbishop Lefebvre called them antichrists, but you get cozied up with them? How could you accept the death jab and even tell faithful it's okay to get it? SSPX is not concerned about the salvation of the souls any more. If they were, they would not allow invalid priests in their ranks. They would not impose Hounder's oils on the faithful. They would never in million years say death jab is okay. At least you would think they would have the decency to admit their advice was not prudent. 

    'You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men." Mt 5,13

    There are still great priests in sspx, but those are exceptions and still part of the sinking boat. If God allowed the ordinary hierarchy to be shipwrecked, I don't know what gives them the optimism it could not happen to them. The worst thing about it is that few in their ranks are willing to see the truth.
