Of course, the President of the Ecclesia Dei Commission has made it clear that attendance at SSPX services does satisfy your Sunday obligation and it is not a schismatic or ex-communicable act. Rome and the SSPX are closer together than they have been since 1988 and this internal Church issue is being dealt with by the correct Church authorities. Letting angry and anonymous laity on the 'net tell you who is or is not Catholic is not the best road to truth.

I agree that I can not be convinced of something so easily through a thread on FR and I didn't mean to give the impression that I was convinced of bornacatholic's opinions. What I meant was that I enjoy having different arguments brought up for me to look into more so that I can get a better grasp of what the church truely teaches on many complicated issues. (It's a shame that not all issues are as black and white as direct abortion or gay marriage)

The reason I decided to get off of the SSPX issue is that I am curious as to bornacatholic's opinion on the reported indult and of the tridentine mass in general. The issue of SSPX, while important, was not meant to be the focus of my original reply to him, although I can see how it could be taken as such.

Thank you for your good advice about avoiding heresy and detraction and praying the rosary, I certainly am attempting to live all suggestions in my daily life and feel that while prayer can always improve that I am on my way to a more full and complete prayer life.
