Many have had enough of SSPX’s rigid, strict ways, especially regarding women for the strictness of dress.
Among my friends, few knew who the current pope is, let alone who their ‘local’ bishop is. Many of the new generation Y of SSPX are losing the faith. Let us jump back to those things that are more easily verified, which she addresses again in her second to last paragraph. Without knowing the details of this at all, there is no benefit in commenting, other than to say that my own experience in a Society community has been quite different. In the next part of her letter, she discusses the reaction of her family and the priests with her regard to her then upcoming nuptials. If this is the attempt of a sect to hide information from its duped members, the Society is making an awful mess of it. Finally, on the official website of the United States District of the Society of Saint Pius X, there are a number of articles that detail the juridical status of the Society today. Additionally, we have published numerous articles examining this question in our now bi-monthly (previously monthly) journal, The Angelus.
But if that’s not enough, let’s consider some other realities.Īngelus Press, for whom I work, publishes a number of titles dealing openly and specifically with the question of the Society’s lack of ordinary jurisdiction, such as Supplied Jurisdiction and Traditional Priests, The Validity of Confessions and Marriages in the Chapels of the Society of Saint Pius X, Is the SSPX Schismatic, Excommunicated?, Is Tradition Excommunicated, as well as Most Asked Questions About the Society of Saint Pius X.
She claims she knew about the excommunications – in fact, she had always known about them – so doesn’t it seem a bit odd to think that she had no idea that the Society possessed no ordinary jurisdiction? I can’t count the number of times I have heard priests make direct mention of this in attempting to explain the principles of supplied jurisdiction. Let us first consider the question in itself. I always knew about the excommunications, but never once did I hear that they actually had NO canonical status! Her words will be italicized my response will be in normal font. Mirus helped found – I think I can bring a unique perspective to bear in examining the possible veracity of the young lady’s assertions. Mary’s, Kansas – the largest Society community in the United States – and who grew up in a conservative Catholic family, later attending Christendom College – an institution Mr. Chris Jackson of The Remnant.Īs someone raising six children in St. Mirus, or what the exact nature of the “very real canonical” situation is – a precision he refused to offer in his response to Mr. Mirus begins with a note that while negative anecdotal evidence can be found about any person or group, this “seems fairly typical and dovetails with a very real canonical, theological, and pastoral situation.” With no separate explanations, the reader may ask exactly on what basis this seems “fairly typical” to Dr. In addition, it seems the young lady went to a school administered by the same Society, it appears, for all of her education (at least her pre-collegiate education). In an article that no objective reader would call fair or just, Jeff Mirus posts the apparent reflections of a young lady who grew up as a Catholic whose family received the sacraments from the priests of the Society of Saint Pius X. Virtues Are Inconvenient, or Oops! It’s Still Detraction Even if it’s Just the SSPX
