For example, the Society, presumes to set itself up as what many consider a virtual counter-church & magisterium: in addition to employing private judgment to determine what is and what is not Catholic, the Society presumes the competence to annull marriages without the permission of the Pope and bishops, it confirms Catholic young people without permission, and alleges that the sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church are invalid or dangerously dubious. It also reportedly brings in much revenue by exploiting every real or imagined problem in the Church to its own advantage. The Society has also reportedly unilaterally imposed censures on lay persons and attempted to defame those priests who have left their ranks.

No private judgment is ever used. The Society obeys the teachings of the Church handed down by preconciliar popes and councils. It rejects only novelties--which are not binding on anybody when they contradict Tradition.
