@Michael_J_Matt Arrogance.

"He lifted the excommunication from the four bishops as a father who seeks to make peace. An extended hand that, unfortunately, they did not accept. There was a radical fringe that prevailed — it did not want reconciliation then, and does not want it now."

Not to be mean, but he’s got intense villain vibes

In 2019, the SSPX was the only priestly community in France that refused to open its clergy archives to a national investigation into clerical sex abuse.

While scores of dioceses and priestly communities gave free access to investigators, the SSPX refused. Why? Because it believes in policing itself.

The SSPX is notoriously opaque when it comes to abusers in its ranks, refusing to publish a list of credibly accused priests (unlike the practice in many dioceses & religious orders), refusing to help compensate victims of abuse, refusing to set up truly independent review boards & refusing to say whether donor $$$ goes toward the legal defense of accused predators.

In light of the multiple high-profile arrests, trials and convictions of SSPX priests in recent years, this continued lack of transparency & accountability remain a serious problem in the SSPX.

I think having an American Pope is really cool

[christopher @beefington5]

@xpstudiosp Yeah, he is a creepster.

@ANC_CA Oof, the ignorance towards the Catholic faith and ancient liturgies is what is cringe.

[christopher @beefington5]

@ANC_CA Doing the orans position? Very common across all Byzantine rites.

Controversial opinion: the TLM as we now experience it is the fruit of Vatican II.

@MLJHaynes You can see the hatred in his eyes.

[Eric Sammons @EricRSammons]

Sometimes I wish the Vatican would make an infographic of their decisions to make them more clear to regular folk.

So I decided to make one regarding whether a lay person who has attended SSPX Masses is considered excommunicated by the Vatican.

[christopher @beefington5]

@calvinrobinson Not one person has to make that choice. Latin masses are everywhere. Non-Catholics need to sit this one out.

@AreYouJokingMe @JustGreggo @Hayesfawcett3 @Rivals @TagliaferriTrey Winning 3 playoff games is a good start.

[christopher @beefington5]

@FatherChenal @TaylorRMarshall Well, just make sure to go to confession to a non SSPX priest.

[Eric Sammons @EricRSammons]

The Vatican drops the hammer:

• The four new SSPX bishops, along with the two SSPX bishops who consecrated them, are excommunicated.

• All SSPX priests are declared "in schism and must therefore be considered schismatics."

• All lay faithful "who formally adhere to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X are to be considered schismatics and excommunicated."

• SSPX confessions and marriages are declared invalid.

Pray and fast for reconciliation.

@Michael_J_Matt I will pray that they come back into union with the Church
