And the Resistance is likely to split after +W goes to his eternal reward, so I place no hope in them at all anymore.
"I place no hope in them at all". Really? So where do you place your hope, Meg?
If we are with the Resistance, is it not because we have judged that to be the truly Catholic position?
Of course there will be continued break-aways from the Resistance, that is the history of the true religion. The Catholic Church from its foundation has had how many tens of thousands of sects split off? Same for the SSPX - hardly a year has passed since its foundation that there have not been defections. In any institution where human beings are involved there will always be error splitting away from truth, it is inevitable. Fr Pfieffer wasn't the first, and he won't be the last.
So keep up your hopes! God will never abandon His truth, and He will never abandon us unless we first abandon Him.

I'm sorry, but traditional Priests can't simply drop whatever they're doing for their own chapel(s) and parishioners to go visit sick or dying people who:

1) aren't their parishioners
2) aren't even traditional
3) aren't in the immediate area

and

4) didn't personally ask for them in the first place.

It would be great if they could visit everybody, but there are roughly 100 SSPX Priests in the United States, and the United States is a very big country.

That might seem harsh, but that's reality. Please give your Priests a break.
Wow, just wow.

Well, we have Archbishop Lefebvre writing at one point that nearly all NO Sacraments can be presumed doubtful.  So the position of SSPX has clearly loosened regarding the validity of NO Sacraments.  Sean has a lot of evidence to back that up.

Fr. Jahir of the FBMV (aligned with the Resistance in Brazil) was also not conditionally ordained even though he was ordained in the New Rite. I don't know why is this an issue now brought up by certain factions in the Resistance when the Resistance has not been consistent on this matter themselves. As far as I personally know, conditional ordinations were still done by in the SSPX in the mid 2000s.

I think if you are a legitimate traditional priest, and a Catholic ( any Catholic) calls for extreme Unction, you'd better have a damn good reason before God and man for not showing up and not arranging for another priest ( NOT NO) who will.

Update: Not only did the SSPX suggest a novus ordo priest but when I refused to arrange for the novus ordo priest to visit my father the SSPX apparently decided that they would contact him anyways without our asking or my father agreeing to it.  :facepalm:

He just showed up at the hospital unannounced.  He was two days late.  Father Waters had already been there and my father was already doing better.  I wonder what he thought of that and if he reported it back to the SSPX...  :popcorn:
