The Truth About the SSPX

In this commentary, I shed some light on the backstory of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) and analyze their claim to being fully Catholic already.

POINTS COVERED

• Their thin-skinned reactionary followers, their recalcitrance in the face of legitimate Catholic authority, and their zealous modus operandi, are oddly similar to the Medjugorje Movement.
•  The SSPC is manifestly not in full communion with the Catholic Church.
• The recent bombshell exposé on SSPX cover-ups of sexual crimes by Christine Niles at Church Militant has put a silver dagger in the heart of the group’s proud assertion that they kept pure and uncorrupted by the scandal-ridden “Conciliar Church.”
• SSPX is a gateway drug to sedevacantism
• Let’s pray for all victims of sexual abuse
• Far-Right groups reflect High Church Protestantism
