SSPX has become quite outspoken in the past few months. First, the October 2003 protest at Fatima, then the Michigan Buddhists in the sanctuary protest, Bishop Fellay's letter to the Cardinals, and now this. Is the SSPX taking a new approach to combating Modernism in the Church?

Who cares? They're a sect.

Good for them; it's a shame no one else, especially the Vatican, denounces such heresies.

"Catholics who remain faithful to Tradition, even if they are reduced to a few handful, are the true Church of Jesus Christ."
Saint Athanasius

"Therefore brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you have learned. Whether by word or by our epistle."
2 Thess.II,14

I think so. It is running buses into NYC next week so the faithful can protest Egan's sale of St. Ann's Church in Manhattan. The church is very old and very beautiful, but it will be torn down and the land used for a post office. These protests are appropriate for two reasons: first, the SSPX can do what no priests of the New York diocese would dare do out of fear of the Cardinal's reprisals. Second, the protests serve to highlight the lack of reverence and faith on the part of men like Egan, while profiling what the SSPX stands for by way of resistance.

SSPX, and the vast number of Roman Catholics who cling to the fundamental rites and teachings of the One True Church - including an acknowledgement of papal infallibility in matters of faith - have been barraged, as of late with public comments and actions that intentionally attack the tradition of the Church based on the dogma of past popes.

No pope may refuse to follow, or amend, dogma written by any of his predecessors.

After 2,000 years comes Vatican 2, and Karol Wojtyla, in the dress of the Vicar of Christ on Earth. Both have capriciously sought to alter the Sacred Teachings of those before him, not to mention their avoidance of explicit instruction The Christ gave to those He entrusted to shepard His Church.

To assert a declaration to the contrary is IMHO a heretical attack on Church Teaching.

There is no room in the Roman Catholic Church for those who refuse to accept the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, or papal infallibility. Yet the Holy See encourages our holy priests to participate in 'interfaith' committees of non-Ctholics. These committees are now dictating, on their terms, which homilies will be said, and what may be sung during Roman Catholic Holy Masses.

To condone the placement of pagan and false god symbols on the Sacred grounds of the Grotto of Fatima directly contradicts the teachings of The True One True Church at its very roots.

To tritefully declare the Four Gospels as historically inaccurate, and mere theological musings - as did the Bishop of San Jose, California - is to challenge the Truth of His Word - The Truth of our belief in Jesus the Christ as the only Son of God.

"Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you...." -- John 15:20

"I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." -- John 14:6

Of course, Luther was even more outspoken than the SSPX priest in this article. Bishop McGrath apparently ought to be an the short list of AmChurch dopes and heretics to be removed and replaced by an actual Catholic but that is the sole business of Catholics and ought concern no one outside the RCC such as SSPX schismatics.

If SSPX becomes more outspoken (McGrath is also outspoken), then actual Catholics in comunion with the Holy See will have to retaliate in kind.
