TFP is not a Catholic organization.

What do you mean? It isn't a personal prelature like Opus Dei, or is it a "cult"?

What do you mean?

(1) Unlike Opus Dei, FSSP, and other Catholic organizations, it is not officially endorsed by or canonically incorporated by the Holy See.

(2) Its history and ideals are doctrinally questionable on a number of points - particularly its unhealthy view of the founder's mother's theological significance and its bizarre focus on nobreza.

I think he means that it's not formally recognized by the Church hierarchy.

I've heard to wacky stuff about TFP too, such as the rumor they've deified their founder.
