The SSPX teaches one does not fulfill their Sunday obligation by hearing a normative Mass.

Lefebvre and the others listed in Ecclesia Dei were/are schismatic. Your defense of them is odd.

They specialise in opposing the Pope. They exercise ministry absent Jurisdiction. Their marriages and confessions are invalid.

They have set-up their own Magisterium, their own Canon Law rules and they undertake to issue annulments etc. You may buy their duplicitous lies but few real Catholics do.

You keep citing a source that is from an appeal for reunion. It will NEVER happen while Williamson is alive. Frankly, I think the SSPX is engaged in an enprmous dog and pony shopw and they have NO intention of reuniting unless the Pope accepts THEIR demands.

Despite what they say publicly, they think they are the Remnant and Rome must capitualte to them.

That's interesting. What I've heard are SSPX priests question the validity of the translations used and the failure of priests to follow the rubrics in a fashion that can lead to the real question of validity in some of the celebrations of the N.O. Mass. I've also heard the Superior General says clearly and distinctly that the N.O. Mass is VALID. I have had some of the laity who attend Mass at SSPX chapels tell me what you say the SSPX says, but NOT the hierarchy. As far as your opinions regards reunion, I am hopeful you are wrong. Almost all of the SSPX members I know believe reunion will take place, the question is not if, rather when.
