	Society of St. Pius X - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original founding of SSPX is generally considered to be the result of a conservative backlash within the Catholic Church that developed in response to the apparent radical revisions in both liturgy and Church policy that occurred during and after the Second Vatican Council of the early 1960s.
		In the early 1980s, several SSPX priests ordained by Lefebvre broke with him or were forced to leave his Society, principally because of his insistence on using the 1962 typical edition of the Roman Missal and on accepting John Paul II as Pope.
		Kelly and eight other SSPX priests, known as "the Nine," were expelled by Lefebvre for insisting on using the Roman Missal as it was at the time of Pope Pius XII's death in 1958 and for maintaining that it is, at least, a debatable question whether there has been a pope since then.

	SSPX Negotiations with Rome, TCRNews.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		For in the Catholic Church it is the living Magisterium alone which has the divinely bestowed competence to mediate and interpret tradition (the second prong of revelation!), not runaway bishops, vagus priests, and over-religious laymen, all of whom have been feeding on Lefebvre's errors, and perhaps a cash-cow, a long time now.
		The means to unite the SSPX exists already: the 1984 indult of John Paul II and the Ecclesia Dei commission which has just been expanded by the Pontiff to include Cardinal Ratzinger (whom they have long villified as an architect of the New---read heretical---Theology and modernist) precisely in the interests of facilitating reconciliation.
		SSPX Bishop williamson (whom many trads consider a crypto-sedevacantist) in his February 2000 newsletter from Winona hardly seems sincere in any desire for reconciliation; indeed he seems positively hostile to the idea.

		The second point raised by the SSPX in defense of their schism that initially convinced me of their position was based upon canons 1323:4° and 1324 §1:5° of the present Code of Canon Law — the canons pertaining to state of necessity.
		When I was associated with the SSPX, to defend the claim that the reformed liturgy is intrinsically evil I used to quote the seventh canon on the Sacrifice of the Mass from the Council of Trent.
		For this reason, the SSPX claims, Pope Liberius became the first pope in the history of the Church not be recognized as a saint.

		That the SSPX was canonically constituted according to the Pio-Benedictine Code is generally accepted, however, some ambiguity exists as to the object of their establishment. For if one looks at the decree canonically establishing the SSPX, one sees that Bishop Charrière is cautious in his approval of the SSPX, decreeing as follows:
		This apparent ambiguity arising from the decree erecting the SSPX would be further compounded in a letter to Archbishop Lefebvre from Cardinal Wright, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Clergy.
		Yet regardless of whether the SSPX was canonically erected as a pious association of the faithful in accordance with c*.

		You might still be interested to know that after we began to investigate the SSPX lottery, we discovered how the SSPX had lied to the government lottery licencing office, and how the lottery involved fraud.
		The SSPX also condemns public beaches, saying that mixed bathing, in view of today's immodest swimwear, is an occasion of mortal sin, and hence it is a mortal sin for anyone to go to such a beach.
		Besides this, SSPX priests tell the people they're holy priests, but since the evidence proves they are not, this is another one of the lies told by these SSPX priests.

		Whereas the SSPX would claim that in accordance with his right as the competent major religious superior, Archbishop Lefebvre had determined to proceed with the ordination of SSPX seminarians, this argument is subject to several canonical weaknesses.
		The protocol's main purpose was to regularize the SSPX as a clerical society of apostolic life of pontifical right, remove all censures against the clergy and laity within the Lefebvrite movement, and provide for their future pastoral care.

		The SSPX was patterned by its founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, after the religious societies of foreign missions.
		The spirit of the SSPX is essentially apostolic, because such is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and because the members of the Society will have in general to exercise an exterior ministry.

		The SSPX claims to be in communion with the pope and the Church, though they are extremely critical of both.
		SSPX adherents argue that Archbishop Lefebvre did not go into schism through his disobedience of the pope because he had just and lawful reasons for defying the pope.
		In the aftermath of Archbishop Lefebvre’s fateful decision, the SSPX has argued that, according to canon law, it is not technically in schism but remains a Catholic group in good standing.

	SSPX Schism: Reasons why the SSPX is in Schism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The main reason given by the SSPX for maintaining their "independence" from the "Official Church" is that, we are told, the Official Church is no longer faithful to Church Law and Catholic Tradition.
		The purpose of the SSPX is: "the Priesthood and whatever pertains to it and nothing but what concerns it" (Statutes II.1) and "A second purpose of the Fraternity is to assist the sanctification of priests by providing them with opportunities for retreats and recollections." (Statutes, III.2).
		Therefore, if the SSPX priests and bishops DO claim to have jurisdiction because they are in charge of mission territories, they have usurped the authority of the Pope in creating these mission territories, and this would be an act of schism.

		Schism is a rupture of unity in the Church.
		Fortunately, there are books on canon law and schism which we can study to know whether the SSPX is in schism or not, based on the principle that if someone illegally takes on the jurisdiction belonging to the Pope, then they are in schism – it doesn't matter what the SSPX says otherwise.
		Many people now believe that the SSPX has become a destructive mind control cult, whose followers are discouraged from thinking for themselves, and that they are now are in schism from the True Church, despite their claims that they are the only true Catholics in the world today.

		Even though the people attending an SSPX chapel form a community capable of having a common error, it does not appear that a common error exists on this point since it is implausible on its face that a local ordinary in communion with the pope would grant faculties to an SSPX priest.
		Like the SSPX, they are a group that has broken off their full and visible communion with the (Latin Rite of the) Church, but maintain valid apostolic succession.
		SSPX priests are suspended latae sententiae when they are ordained; in most if not all cases, however, the suspension has not been declared.

		Since the revisionist position regarding the Holocaust is not a teaching of the Catholic Church, it is not a position of the Society of Saint Pius X. The SSPX does not engage in matters that do not concern the teachings of the Church.
		Since the SSPX was formed in order to preserve Tradition through the formation of priests and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, I believe that "official SSPX teaching" would simply consist of what the Catholic Church teaches.
		It seems that they want to equate the SSPX with fascists, just as others have tried to distort history by saying that Pope Pius XII did not do enough to help Jews at the time of the holocaust - which is complete nonsense.

		That having been said, many of the local SSPX people and priests do not share that viewpoint and, in some cases, have been courageous enough to speak out against them at their own peril.
		If an SSPX Mass is the only convenient one to attend in a given area, surely the Traditional Latin Mass there is better than a Novus Ordo service or no Mass at all.
		The "Honolulu Six" had (1) established a traditional chapel independent of diocesan jurisdiction, (2) invited independent priests, predominantly SSPX priests, to celebrate Mass at the chapel, and (3) invited one of the bishops named in the Vatican's excommunication decree to confer the traditional Sacrament of Confirmation at the chapel.

		While the priests of the Society of St Pius X are validly ordained, they are also suspended a divinis, that is they are forbidden by the Church from celebrating the Mass and the sacraments because of their illicit (or illegal) ordination to the diaconate and to the priesthood without proper incardination (cf.
