did the Society of St. Pius X leave the Church, or did the CHURCH leave the Church???
Answer: The Church left the Church.
The Society and other Traditional parishes are saying the same Mass and observing the same ordinances that have survived for two thousand years. Knowing that the True Latin Mass was the Mass of Saints and Martyrs for centuries is good enough for me. Pope St. Pius V said the Traditional Latin Mass was to be celebrated until the end of time. For those who are so conditioned by the Novus Ordo, please do yourself a favor and find a Traditional Mass (not indult) near you and attend. I guarantee you, you will never look back.
