Increasingly, the “new” SSPX aligns itself with the (so-called) “conservative” wing of the conciliar revolution by promoting their words which oppose certain positions of the more extreme revolutionaries.

One example of this tactic is the “new” SSPX’s recent publication of a reference list of seven quotes related to the Catholic teaching regarding marriage. The “new” SSPX explains that it publishes this list in order to assist the faithful looking what [sic] the Catholic Church, up until recent times, taught firmly. Id.

There are three problems with what the N-SSPX says.


  1. It is our Catholic duty to judge objective errors but not to judge other persons’ subjective culpability and decide for ourselves that they are no longer Catholics, even when what they say is not Catholic. This judging of other people’s subjective, interior culpability is one of the errors which the sedevacantists make. See the discussion of the mortal sin of rash judgment.
  2. See, e.g., Luther upholding transubstantiation in the 1519 Sermon Von dem hocwurdigen Sakrament des heiligen wahren Leichnams Christi und von den Bruderschaften, §16.
  3. We refer to the “new” SSPX’s phrase (quoted above): what the Catholic Church, up until recent times, taught firmly.
