What is the SSPX resistance? I'm new in regard to this but I've heard the term 'resistance' come up several times and am unsure on the actual details.

Can someone give me a rundown or is there another thread that explains this that I can read up on? Thanks.

And yet, these men (including the largest Trad organization ever, the SSPX) have done more good for the Catholic Church and for souls in a few hours' time than you will accomplish in your lifetime. So there's that.

It's easy to talk smack. At least when priests/bishops duke it out in public you have two men who have given their lives for Christ disagreeing about a disputed matter. It really slays me, though, when armchair theologian laymen presume to judge men who have given their *all* for the cause of Jesus Christ and the salvation of souls.

I'm sorry, but even if you were a member of a Third Order you'd still fall far short of the complete donation of self that being a priest entails.

These priests have voted with their LIVES. In the game of life, they went ALL-IN. Let's at least acknowledge that fact. Could they be wrong, and you right, about this one issue? Maybe. But they earned the right to choose which Missale to use, which organization/bishop should be trusted, etc.

These priests need more guts to go out in public for 2 hours (dressed in full clerical garb as they are) than most of us are required to have over a months' time. These men witness to the Faith 24/7. And not just in nice conservative or Catholic parts of the country. Places like New York. And in all times, too, such as the early 2000's when the "clerical abuse scandals" were front-and-center in the media cycle.

So you'll excuse me for trusting these bishops and priests, whose biographies read like the lives of saintly missionary priests of old, rather than the opinion of some rando on an Internet forum.

So in the 1962 Holy Week, do you genuflect for the conversion of the jews, like the rest of the SSPX?
