Who cares?

We should all care. We should pray for their return to the Church.

They're a sect.

Perhaps, but what is Bishop McGrath? His own "sect?"

They are free to return to the Church any time. They are not going to return to the Church, until the Church agrees to scrap the Mass of Paul VI.

McGrath's statement is wrong, of course, but not completely. There can be no doubt that each gospel was written some years after the occurrences described, and that each was written from a particular perspective. So, the fact that an event, such as the Last Supper, occurred is incontrovertible, but whether each and every last word was spoken as recounted has to take into consideration the particular purpose of the Gospel and the fact that the Gospel developed between the time of Christ and the time of its writing.

I have attended both the NO and "Indult" available here, I will no longer until the criminal abusers leave the hierarchy. The SSPX priests are validly ordained Roman Catholic priests. Their bishops are in the Apostolic succession. Unlike the criminal class running the modernist AmChurch, they preach the Gospel and they live the Gospel. They are FAR more Catholic than the heretics running the Diocese I am in and those on the borders. Pray for the heretics to repent, confess and return to Catholicism and the SSPX will be just a footnote in history. Until then they are a lifeboat.
