Validity of Confesions in the SSPX

  • This is VERY ALARMING!!!

    ARE SSPX CONFESSIONS VALID?
    SUPPLIED BY WHAT JURISDICTION?

    Quote from: hugeman


    3). LeRoux, the rector of the SSPX' largest seminary, which is supposed to train priests,
          stated publicly that: "Our {SSPX} priests get their mission from the local  (diocesan)
          Ordinaries (bishops);
    4).  (Cardinal) Mueller , Benedict and all of the Roman hierarchy have declared that Fellay
           and the other bishops have absolutely no mission in the Church, and have no faculties for
           Ordination and none of the diocesan bishops have authorized any ordinations in their           dioceses; therefore ,
    Since Fellay has dropped the doctrinal opposition to VCII and it's popes, and pledged loyalty and fidelity to that Council and it's popes-- the state of emergency is over; the "church will provide the faculties" is no longer an operative principle; the bishops have no mission, function or faculties; and they then cannot ordain Catholic priests.
         


    Does this also affect jurisdiction for the other sacraments?

  •  :dancing-banana:NEW, DOUBLE-SPEAK EXPLANATION OF SUPPLIED JURISDICTION
    Is this logical?  The following is a paraphrase.
    "Jurisdiction is granted by the local (diocesan) bishop.
    The local bishops fail in their duty to give sspx priests jurisdiction.
    The sspx fails to return to tradition forcing the local bishops to deny jurisdiction.
    The Church grants de facto, "supplied jurisdiction THROUGH THE LOCAL BISHOP" to the faithful who desire it."
    Huh???
    Sorry, not at liberty, yet, to give source of this info.
     St. Francis Xavier threw a Crucifix into the sea, at once calming the waves.  Upon reaching the shore, the Crucifix was returned to him by a crab with a curious cross pattern on its shell.

  • Pope Francis may be perfectly willing to walk together in the differences between the Conciliar church and the Orthodox churches but you can bet the house that he isn't about to grant jurisdiction to the SSPX.  

    If the SSPX is thinking that the local bishops have granted them jurisdiction, then either they have some hidden card up their sleeve or there is a misquote somewhere.

    There is no credible theory which would support a Novus Ordo bishop, unknowingly and unwillingly, granting supplied jurisdiction to SSPX people.
     Firstly, the local ordinary received and accepted his mission, his jurisdiction from the conciliarists in Rome, to which it belongs. He( the local ordinary) can only use that jurisdiction for that which it was given-- maintain the conciliar church in accordance with Roman wishes. Failing that-- he loses his office pronto. So he has no jurisdiction to even give the SSPX to authorize an SSPX bishop to ordain men, or to incardinate any SSPX priests into his diocese-- because Rome has spoken. You will recall that Fellay moved ordinations out of Germany into Switzerland specifically because the Ordinaries forbade them to take place!

      And what Rome has said, publicly and loudly, is that , while the punishment of excommunication was lifted by the benevolence of Ratzinger, the effect has not been lifted because the SSPX is in schism. Therefore, as DeNoia and Muller have emphasized (as well as Abe Foxman and all the other rabbis running Rome): The SSPX bishops have no standing in the church; they have no function or mission. Because Fellay and his crew lied to Ratzinger and his crew, and made them all think they had snookered all the SSPX faithful into crawling back into Rome, Ratzinger agreed to "lift" the excommunications (which, they maintain,were still valid and deserved), only as a sign of good will. Since Fellay has now more than demonstrated his evil will "That man (Ratzinger) tricked me!", there's not likely many bishops are going to stick their ecclesiastical collar on the line for Fellay and Pflugger.

        So, the so-called supplied jurisdiction does not and cannot come through the ordinary. And, absent another secret, sneaky deal with Fellay, Krah and Co., it won't come any time soon through rabbi berg, either. The SSPX' perennial position, with respect to confessions (properly, absolutions of sins),held within a ordinary's diocese without faculties--is that "common error" of the faithful allowed the "priest" to hear the confession of a penitent who was ill informed and "assumed" the priest had faculties. So all the SSPX faithful standing in lines outside the confessionals are, in the priests' minds, mistaken and uninformed.
       
          This is important because, unlike the power to consecrate the bread and wine, which specifically resides now in the character of the true priest; the power to forgive sins, in the place of Almighty God, comes from Saint Peter and the Apostles, through the generations to the true pope and his bishops, who must give the faculty to a priest in his dominion. Otherwise, what the priest says is just so much hot air. It's not much different than a protestant minister declaring,"Sure, I forgive you your sins!"

       Remember, this entire discussion is predicated on the fat that, for Fellay and Co.-- and therefore for all the SSPX, there is no state of emergency. Look at Fellay's AFD  (April 2012) to Ratzinger, and his accompanying letter of promises and fidelity. The state of emergency, for the SSPX is over! They have accepted the Vatican Council, they have accepted the popes of the Council, they have accepted the Novus Ordo Mass, the new catechism, the new code of Canon Law, and all the other bologna from the VC. All they reserved to themselves is the right to "discuss" certain aspects of the changes from the council.

       So, as it stands right now-- the SSPX is in open rebellion to the pope and to the Church-- to the pope they swore to honor, love and obey; and to the Church they proclaim to love.As Cardinal Mueller stated, there is nothing for the SSPX bishops to do but " turn themselves into a monastery and do penance for their disobedience and scandal"
       Every passing day it becomes truer and truer what Father Karl Pulvermacher (RIP) {The First editor of the Angelus Magazine} predicted: "They (the Romans) will give us back the right to say the True Mass only when there will be no more true priests to offer it!" Pretty perceptive of him!

  • That's exactly what came to my mind when I read your comment about the jurisdiction for ordinations.

    Everyone keeps talking about the Mass, no one has been talking about the possible validity/invalidity of the confessions in light of the AFD.

    Has anyone ventured to ask them where they get their jurisdiction from?

    All I can say now is, thank God I went to confession to a Resistance Priest.  One who still adheres to ABL.
    For one reason or another, I always did not quite make it to confession when I was at the SSPX mission.

  • I have been a trad for 6 years, but not until I came onto this forum did I bother with the canon law technicalities discussed on this forum. Funny how I get lectured by people who have not been a trad as long as I have. While I was reading the saints they were reading ABL. One should read both, but remember that ABL was only an archbishop who tried to preserve the faith during a crisis.
    The crisis is still here. It is not the SSPX who went away from the eternal church and all the ex cathedra pronouncements of previous popes, it is the conciliar church and the vatican that went down the road of schism by starting a new protestant version of so called Catholicism. They are in schism from eternal rome, not the sspx. However because the SSPX recognize an unrepentant heretic in the conciliar church as pope they will appear to be in schism, and the real issue of betrayal of eternal doctrine will be forgotten. It should be as simple as this: DO YOUR PRIESTS HOLD THE CATHOLIC FAITH OF ALL TIMES - IF SO THE SACRAMENTS ARE VALID. ( because such a thing is in union with the Apostles). In fact one should doubt the novus ordo confessions for this reason also.

    For some reason your post reminds me of all the times I have been envious seeing or reading about those who I believe are high in Heaven/ or closer to Jesus than I, but who didn't busy themselves with 'technical knowledge.' For me, it's a glance that gives them away. Just the lasting impression at seeing a 'simple' soul, devoid of being all 'in their head,' and whose presence makes you want to let go of all of the technical jargon, and focus on Christ alone with fierce determination... in a weird way, like 'competing' to not let their simplicity and straighforwardness to life kick my ass in how I live my life  in living out the Commandments, loving my neighbor, and loving God.  

    Being such a knight owl, I remember watching 'Walking Distance' in the middle of the night, and just had one of those interior realizations; thinking back to all of the hours and hours I've spent looking and analyzing  technical aspects of theology (and other 'academic' pursuits) and seeing that it didn't make me any happier... maybe 'safer,' in my own mind (confidently speaking)...but in the process, I kind of forgotten how to have that connection... that wavelength to Jesus where each and every day I feel like I would lay my life down for Him. I had that once and just feel like now I'm starting to get back to that intensity. A post like yours reminds me of when I read about St. Germaine Cousin.

    For the guys, it would be like an NFL linebacker who is so caught up in learning Belichick's 'system' in his head; that he can't just 'react' with natural heart and soul on the field... to the speed of the game where instincts take over where knowledge can actually be of detriment when used as an end to itself; rather than in coordination with intuition, grace, and one's natural talents.

    And what's odd in my life, I'm having to go back in time to have to re-learn that intensity to make any new knowledge worth anything other than implementing another 'technical' decision without that fierce intensity I used to live my life with...so yeah, I'm actually quite pissed at myself, not beating myself up; but anxious...to reconcilliating where I was when going to the Indult over a year ago; goaling to live each day as if it were my last; blaring loudly in my car speakers all of my 'motivational' music from Alternative/ Rock to Underground house beats while going to Mass... "today could be the last day you ever see, ask yourself did you even try, tomorrow's no guarantee. There is no tomorrow there is just today, there is no forever, don't let it slip away..."; that song would make me try to go to Mass like being so totally present... each word....each moment... I used to get so much more out of my day back them.

    An sspxer needn't go to his local new church ordinary or priest for confirmation of this.  He need only apply to the nearest priest or official in the Fraternity of St. Peter for such confirmation.  That priest will deliver the exact same message, viz. SSPX is in schism.  Numbers of sspx members have gone over to the FSSP locally here.  But by doing that they have, for all intents and purposes, acceded to the new church position a la Ratzinger.
