Although this has not yet been announced officially, the news has already been leaked: Tomorrow, July 17, the Archlayman of Chicago, ‘Cardinal’ Blase Cupich, will announce that the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP) will be shut down in Chicago effective August 1.
The ICKSP is a Traditional Latin Mass community founded in 1990 that uses only the Roman Missal of 1962. It is one of the so-called “Ecclesia Dei communities”, meaning they have always been in full communion with the Vatican II Church and are operating on the basis of the indult granted by “Pope” John Paul II in the Apostolic Letter Ecclesia Dei issued on July 2, 1988. Their provincial headquarters for the United States are in Chicago, under the watchful Modernist eye of Blase Cupich.
On July 14, the well-known blogging Rev. John Zuhlsdorf (aka ‘Father Z’) had already released a cryptic prayer request “to avert a serious act of persecution”, but he did not provide any specifics.
On July 15, David L. Gray was apparently the first one to reveal details, as follows: __________ Blase Cardinal Cupich is Stripping the Institute of Christ the King of their Ability to Celebrate the Holy Mass in his Little Fiefdom, where their US Base is Headquartered – Effective August 1, 2022
Will be Announced at Sunday Mass at the Shrine of Christ the King Sovereign Priest on Woodlawn Ave., in Chicago
Fr. John Lovell of the Coalition for Canceled Priest to Appear on The David L. Gray Show Monday Morning [July 18] to Discuss __________
Since then, ‘Father Z’ has updated his original prayer request post with details:
Cupich of Chicago has told the members of the Institute of Christ the King in Chicago, that he is effectively shutting them down as of 1 August. This will be formally announced on Sunday [July 17] at the Institute’s church on the South Side of Chicago.
No Masses. Nothing. 31 July is their last day to function.
I’m sorry that the Institute itself was not able to break the news.

“...a Church that...”
You know, I presume, that the Church, being the spotless Bride of Christ, can not and does not teach error.
Wayward priests and prelates, by contrast, can and often do.
Christ’s Church exists, always exists, is always both visible and discernable, and of course the gates of hell will never prevail against her.
Does SSPV claim it is the Church?
Thx.
Wow-2020 foresight.
The odds are they will be coughing up that shrine. Bills to pay and all that.
Re: Eastern Orthodox
1. They just had a Greek Orthodox baptism of babies whose “parents” were two gay men. (FR in last couple of days). Is this something to be concerned about as a trend?
2. As a sad Roman Catholic I do think about whether I am called to Orthodoxy and/or Eastern Rite Catholic affiliation. But how would I know how to chose among all of them? In our area alone there are Orthodox churches that are Greek, Antiochean, Ruthenian, Russian and Coptic. The Eastern rite Catholics offer Russian and Melkite rite. None of these are my ethnicity/heritage. How would I know which one to go to? Maybe the Antiochean because the service is in English? The fragmentation here really makes me sad.
3. I would like to respect Orthodoxy as alive, as leading the effort to save souls and make an impact in the lives of many globally, but I don’t see it. Where are the Orthodox universities and hospitals? The great charitable movements, the Mother Theresas ? Even if the theology is reassuring, there is something lagging here that I can’t put my finger on.
Sorry for the bad logistical situation yiu are in. FWIW, and I’m sure you know this: If you can’t practically go to mass every week because of such obstacles, the Sunday mass precept is not applicable.
Not good Bishops do not good things.
Meaning, this is a feature, not a bug.
You obviously don’t hear the voice of the Shepherd when either of those gentlemen open their mouths to speak.
Yes, scare quotes.
That’s a good question.
Certainly no priest or bishop in the ICKSP disputes the validity of JPII.
Only sedevacantists do and ICKSP are certainly not that.
Long way of saying: I do not know!
That is, 20/20 foresight.
Rare in these days of rampant sin-darkened intellects.
Although they profess to carry on the traditional pre-Vatican 2 faith, I don't think they claim to be the Catholic Church exclusively.
the Institute put a lot into renovating the beautiful church and had been rather attached to the big city HQ. What a horrible waste
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
All of the Tridentine Mass communities should simply ignore this tool of Satan because collectively they now represent the remnant of the true Catholic Church that’s been forced back to the catacombs as it were. Meanwhile, it has become perfectly obvious that the present Pope is no longer a Catholic, nor is anyone else who is attached to the Novus Ordo Conciliar church. The Conciliar Church is just another Protestant sect that was established by the Satan Council (Vatican, 1962-1965) to replace the Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ. And Satan’s Pope, Francis, is now nothing more than a 21st century version of Martin Luther!
“Catholic Bashing again?”
Your Pope and his Cardinals seem to be doing a pretty good job of bashing what’s left of the RCC all by themselves.

Live by the Francis, die by the Francis.

From what I can see from online TLM directories, there are independent TLM chapels in Pensacola, Ft. Walton Beach, and Tallahassee.

There are currently seven SSPX chapels in Florida.
I shall investigate Walton. That is 60 miles and I should be able to make it some Sundays depending on my work sked. I often work 1700 to 0700 Saturday nights.

The problem is that none of them are within reasonable driving distance of northwest Florida; I think he said earlier up thread that the closest SSPX chapel is 200+ miles away.
Another cafeteria “catholic”; just like Pelosi and Biden.
