Has anyone ever called the SSPX asking for a priest to come to give someone Extreme Unction and they instead recommended a local novus ordo priest?
This just happened yesterday in the case of my calling the SSPX VA Seminary asking for a priest to come to see my father in the hospital.
I knew that they had been getting more friendly with the local novus ordo priests but this blew my mind.
Yes, happened to me in May 2021. Lapsed Catholic friend was on his deathbed after suffering from ALS. He had married a Protestant, but wavered between attending the Novus Ordo and Baptist services. He considered himself Catholic. He knew he was clueless. I tried for over a year to get him to go to Confession before he died. He wouldn't do it.
Seeing that he only had a few hours/days left, I got permission from the Baptist wife to get a Catholic priest to his house. I called my SSPX (mission) priest. It was a Sunday afternoon. He told me he was busy and to call a Novus Ordo "priest" instead.
The Novus Ordo "priest" came over. Prayed a short ecuŠ¼enical prayer and did a single anointing on the forehead (as I recall). There was no attempt to hear a confession or anything of that sort.
My friend died a few days later.
