If someone attends an SSPX chapel, I look at it like they attend a Call to Action meeting. It is a dangerous thing for the faith, and the way they relate to the Church as a whole. When you foster suspicion, you are rarely disappointed. Sometime suspicion in the people governing the Church is well founded.

At first, I try to make it clear I am talking about the SSPX and not that person. Sometimes I pop off.

After someone opens their mouth, and says something that illustrates they have imbibed schism, then I have no qualms about my opinion.

No person is forced to attend an SSPX chapel, if they understand the nature of the Church clearly. I think some SSPX adherents do have an element of false advertising, and overstate the status of people regularly attending those chapels.

I think there are indeed good people in the SSPX, and having those people participate in the fight instead of being bricked up in a chapel would be very helpful. One doesn't hide your light under a basket, or in a chapel, right?

"One doesn't hide your light under a basket, or in a chapel, right?"

If one lives in certain dioceses where there are no truly Catholic liturgies nor truly Catholic priests, and no examles of holiness, and where heresy is spouted as a matter of course, and where confessions are not offered regularly, or rarely, and one has numerous small children, as a father, I would say it would be perfectly reasonable to attend an alternative as an emergency situation. The Vatican agrees. The application of these circumstances must come with the help of a well-formed Catholic conscience. The same would apply to the necessity to attend a Greek Orthodox church to fulfill one's Sunday obligation.
