SSPX issued 1962 Missal lists The Ascension of our lord as day of obligation. The local SSPX church added an evening Mass for those who work and could not attend in the morning, however I do not recall an announcement on the preceding Sunday that this is indeed a holy day of obligation.

"Thursday May 13 is the Ascension of Our Lord. The Sunday Mass schedule will be followed. Ascension Thursday is not a holy day of obligation for most dioceses in the U.S. (including the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas); however, we encourage everyone to sanctify the day"
.
Who cares what the Counciliar Heretical Church and the local diocese have done
to demote the Feast of The Ascension to a non-holy day ?  
.
They have also declared that the Latin Mass is the "extraordinary form".  Who
cares what they think?  
.
Obviously, the SSPX is officially a diocesan organization.  So if you want to
separate yourself from the Counciliar Church, as A. Lefevbre recommends,
you must leave the SSPX.
.
Question.  Who is going to "own" the $30,000,000 church which is being
built?   The diocese ???????

This is the problem with the one foot in the conciliar church and one foot in Tradition approach.
If the Society would just announce that they are completely in the conciliar fold, it would clarify much, but I doubt they would lose many faithful over it.  

This is why the SSPV's stance makes way more sense.
The OLD SSPX had all the advantages of the sedevacantist position, but without a few of the disadvantages. That's where I'll stay thanks.

Saying that the SSPX position is flawed or inferior just because +Fellay, a certain % of SSPX priests, and a good % of the Faithful have abandoned it, 
is like saying that a wife and children are "bad" because the husband succuмbed to temptations of the flesh and abandoned his family.

Or the Catholic Faith itself! Doesn't the Church lose members on a regular basis to other religions, paganism, etc.? Men can be tempted and lose the Faith, and they do. But there's nothing wrong with the Catholic Faith.

Foolish men might reason thusly:

John abandoned X for Y.
(IMPLIED MINOR) But men always choose the greater good over the lesser good.
Therefore X must be inferior or flawed in some way.

BUT THE UNSPOKEN MINOR IS FALSE!

Every sin is a man foolishly pursuing some lesser good (pleasure, etc.) over a greater good (doing God's will, holiness, being worthy of heaven)
