brendan1104 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 St. Benedict, You remind me so much of myself from the past couple of years. I fell for this hook, line and sinker. All the same propaganda: St. Pius V and Quo Primum, see how nice the SSPX externals are, one day Lefebvre will be canonized, etc. Again, my questions: 1) Have you ever been, [u]even once[/u], to an SSPX chapel? Or do you just look at their websites? 2) Would your bishop/diocese still accept you as a seminarian if they read your posts? 3) Why aren't you joining SSPX let alone another TLM group?

brendan1104 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 (edited) Aalpha, what I meant is to look up the old threads, read through them and continue the debate or questions there. As a side note, the Anglicans and Orthodox look really nice too. All the smells and bells, etc. And now... back on topic.

Ora et Labora Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Hi St. Benedict!! I would recommend a book called "More Catholic then the Pope" by Patrick Madrid (and I think, also written by Pete Vere. Some one correct me if I'm wrong.) I'm not asking you to agree with everything it says right when you read it, but, it made clear a lot of things that were confusing me with SSPX. It's a very good book, with essential facts.

Ora et Labora Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 [quote name='St. Benedict' post='1350539' date='Aug 5 2007, 06:25 PM']NO. The fruits are Holiness and virtue. The SSPX and Marcel Lefebvre were/are obedient to Jesus Christ and the decree of St. Pius V. They are Catholic! Read from the website of the sspx. Read the letter to Confused Catholics. Everyone, please do this.[/quote] If Lefebvre WAS obedient to Jesus Christ and the Church, I don't think he would have been excommunicated. I would rather obey The Catholic Church, then a Bishop who was excommunicated for going against the teachings of the Church. I don't know about anyone else, but that's just me...

Moneybags Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I hope to visit some SSPX chapels in the next few months. I am looking forward to it. Why am I not joining the FSSP, SSPX, Institute of Christ the King, etc. now? Money. It would be hard to pay $7000 USD yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendan1104 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 You do realize that if your diocese knew what you were writing and planning, they wouldn't accept you as a seminarian or ordain you, right?

XIX Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 [quote name='St. Benedict' post='1350473' date='Aug 5 2007, 03:13 PM']Look up St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary from Northern Minnesota. It is a wonderful website. The seminary looks holy - it looks Catholic. Plus, unlike Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, etc., the SSPX does not teach heresy. They are Catholic. Honestly, I support the canonization of Marcel Lefebvre.[/quote] The SSPX are like raisinettes. Sweet on the outside. Poison on the inside.

Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Don't get involved with the SSPX, or their ideas. from what i understand they are made up of good Folks, many of whom may not even be in schism. they pass on a lie that, unfortunately, appealed to me, and was a large contributing factor of why i lapsed out of Catholicism. From what ive seen on their website they are also a very puritanical organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
