I just don't understand how SSPX can be the "most correct Christians" when there are other traditionalist groups (not traditional), even sedevacanist groups, such as SSPV (incidentally splitted from SSPX). How is that unity at all? That's sounds more protestant that catholic.

@platmosic

The good thing about ALL traditionalists is that they fight the good fight for Tradition. Our unity is in the True Faith and the Mass of All Time. G.K. Chesterton said: “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him”. It’s hard to tell what the Novus Ordo fights for; the last forty years, Vatican II and Ecumenism I suppose? Certainly not for what the Church has always taught…

@planetar4564 You can have your baloons, your clowns, priestesses, altar girls, gay priests, your new hideous churches, and all your parafernalia. I prefer to stick to the eternal Truth of the Catholic Church.

BEing Catholic is a way of life. The new mass has Lutheran and Anglican elements to it to make it more palatable for Protestants, in order to create an "ecumenical mass" for all the Christians. You can check these elements one by one in pertinent literature. Pax Christi.

@platmosic Not if the "church" itself has turned its back on Christ! Thee SSPX are confused, though, because they want acceptance from a false pope. Why? What are they afraid of?

[JamesFrancis1000]

SSPV is the last man standing, the sspx priests are obviously schismatic. I mean how do you recognize a man (joseph ratzinger) who is leading countless down a dark path as your leader or even a legit member of the church when he's doing something beyond evil? I just don't get it.. Unless they're trying to restore the vatican II sect to the old rite, I don't see any reason why they speak to those devils ..

@platmosic i find it funnny that you say that i sounds protestant to you the position that SSPX takes when in the new mass you can find many protestant leanings, for example luther(the first protestant) wanted the mass to be said in the vernacular language, which is done now in the new mass and now people just grab the HOLY EUCHARIST in their hands and receive it, that is a terrible sacrilege, or tell me are you worthy to grab OUR LORD, OUR GOD in your hands?? i am certainly not worthy

Dear Rev Father,

congrats on the uplifting of the excommunication on the 4 bishops. now we have to pray for the integrity of Archbishop Lefebvre and his companion to be restored also.

God bless!

Yes a sedia is another word for chair, and the symbolism is that only a priest can sit on it.

If the message of Christianity is love, why not try Hinduism instead of Novus Ordoism?

I lived in an Ashram in India many years ago and I can tell you they were are lovely people, lots of love there. I think your problem is you’re trying to love people out of their Catholic faith eh? Novus Ordoism has become something bigger than the Catholic Churcu/faith. Who loves more..?

@Oblationem

Sedia is just another word for Chair. You missed the point of my comment and are spliting hairs over semantics . Latin words don’t make things more official. It’s the symbolism behind the objects.

I’m wasting my time and yours. A colloquy with you is moot. Thanks for demonstrating exactly what I alluded. You’ve lost the message of Christianity in your fervor to remain within the margins of tradition. I pray for you as well. This is my last comment. God's peace.

@ominoreg

It’s not called a “presider’s chair as you call it, it’s called a sedia.

Your whole premise is wrong and uncatholic.

A celebrant or presbyter, which is what the New Religion calls its priests, sit on a presider’s chair, you know, like Protestants do – anyone can sit on a presider’s chair.

I/we don’t claim to be superior, I just claim to be Catholic and am far from perfect.

See the youtube video, “New Religion New Mass”.

@Jitpring

Look at what I wrote. I never limited the priest's role to only leader of worship. I said that Priests are leaders of worship and the presider's chair at the sanctuary is a symbol of that. That's not a "stinking" role, it's the office installed by God to the order of Melchizedek. Please read the bible in addition to Bishop's letters. For one who totes superior christianity, you don't exhibit it's precepts - love, charity and humility. I pray for peace in your heart.
