The policy of the SSPX is to use the liturgical books in use in the year 1962, and this has been the policy of the SSPX since Archbishop Lefebvre was still alive.
It should come as no surprise to anyone then, that the SSPX would use the rite for the consecration of a church in use in 1962.
So nothing about compromising to men, nothing about prestige or money, nothing about squandering the power of the Priesthood, and nothing about sending the wrong message to Rome.
The SSPX uses the liturgical books in force in 1962, and consecrated the Immaculata according to the rite in force in 1962. Why is that a surprise and an occasion for trying to find ulterior motives?
Quite right, cath4ever.
Archbishop Lefebvre was a man of principle, contrary to what some would have us believe, and his decision on these matters predated the advent of the Sedevacantist movement.
There is no need to make the neoSSPX look worse than it is... if that were possible! It truly is grave what they are doing with Bp Huonder... rituals start to pale into insignificance.
