Hey crossbro man you really dont like the SSPX do ya?
Always remember that there is no doubt over the mass, or the ordination rites of priests, or the consecration rite of bishops. It is 100% valid. The Diocesan TLM will always have doubts over its priests and bishops. The SSPX have also made it their raison d'etre to be the preservers of Catholic tradition. The diocesan TLM was set up to draw people away from the SSPX ( the TLM was abrogated after all ). If you value Catholic traditions, go to the SSPX. If everyone did that the crisis in the church would be solved ( if it were not for freemasons being considered valid popes).
You just could not resist taking a shot across the bow, now could you ?
One thing just worth pointing out, in another thread I just went to a link on the SSPX use of the 1962 Missal by Lefebvre in which he announced he had kicked out priests from the society. That seems to a tradition now with the politics of SSPX. Kicking out and finger pointing, nothing new- it continues to happen within SSPX and will continue into the future. Then there are SSPX members posting about property issues and losing control and such. One thing I did not write in my post was the lack of stability in the community. For me going to SSPX would be "no going back". But what is forward ?
Diocesan TLM just has to be an affront to SSPX ? Everything is just black and white ? Our diocesan TLM community predates SSPX in our region, it was even deemed a schism by the bishop at one point.
You are right about if everyone left for SSPX the problems would be solved, but leave for where ?
We use the 1962 the same as SSPX, we do the same exact thing and are just as reverent. I have no doubt that even though not spoken we have sedevacantists among our members.
Basically we are the exact end product SSPX wanted and prayed for, but for some reason that is not good enough is it ?
