Even before the SSPX sent this letter, I had begun to suspect they were starting to sound more like Evangelicals than Catholics.
The letter they sent to Pope Leo XIV after their excommunication only reinforced that impression.
It reads as though they genuinely believe they have done nothing wrong and that the excommunication carries no weight. Tell me, what clearer way is there to say, "We do not recognize the authority of Pope Leo XIV," without saying those exact words?
I've rarely seen such a display of pride and defiance.
The letter is strongly worded, but more than that, it conveys a troubling lack of respect for the Holy Father and an apparent conviction that he, not they, is in the wrong for imposing a penalty they insist should not apply to them.
In the end, evil will not prevail. Christ's Church has endured every storm, and she will endure this one as well.
The SSPX rejecting the Vatican's decree comes as no surprise to me. I don't think anyone seriously expected them to simply accept it.
That said, whether they accept it or not doesn't change anything. If the Vatican has declared them outside full communion, then that's their canonical status. Sending a letter to the Magisterium saying, "We don't accept this," doesn't reverse the decision.
As things stand, the only path forward is reconciliation with the Church under the conditions laid down by the Holy See.
Personally, I don't think the Vatican will keep going back and forth with them. What's done is done. The ball is now in the SSPX's court.
What do you think?
@PapistPilled No. If you must wear shorts, and you’re not a child that is under 10, ensure they are not form fitting and that they are at least knee length

As a reminder, the SSPX founded their schism by proclaiming a LIE:
No Apostolic Mandate (official papal bull or formal document issued by the Pope that authorizes the consecration of a priest to the office of bishop) was given to them.
In fact, they were explicitly DENIED.
First they came for the SSPX, I did not speak up because I’m not SSPX
Then they came for the FSSP…
Oh wait, no they didn’t because it’s in communion with Rome and submits to the Sede of Peter!!!
God bless the FSSP!!!
After prayerful consideration and consulting with trusted traditional priests and theologians, I am removing all SSPX chapels from the Latin Mass Finder feature of @MissalPage.
Abusers withhold affection, attention, & kindness to punish you. It’s a subtle control tactic—if you don’t comply, they make you feel emotionally abandoned. Over time, you work harder to please them just to avoid their coldness. This weaponizes your need for connection.
