These are the recommendations I have to answer your request. Should this happen, the person and his family will be strongly solicited to adhere to the same concessive line as the pastor. One should also be cautious about the counsels in the confessional insofar as they pressure the person to become involved in the "parish life" and fall under the pastor's control. However, one must be careful regarding the content of the sermons that preach acceptance of Vatican II and its consequences. It is perfectly licit to go to these places to fulfill the Mass obligation, to benefit from Confession and to receive Communion. Peter, the Institute of Christ the King, and the Tridentine Masses said in the Dioceses approved by the Bishops, following the recommendation of Summorum Pontificum. There are also valid Masses said in the Fraternity of St. The Masses said in the chapels of SSPX are valid, and will continue to be so, as long as the Vatican will not force them to follow the "hybrid Mass," a combination of the Tridentine Mass with the New Mass, which is already being prepared. Regarding your second question - the consequences for someone who will continue to attend a SSPX chapel after the probable merge with progressivist Rome - my opinion follows. In number 2 of this list, you have the answer to your first question on what Bishop Fellay is going to sign. Then, after the publication of a letter of three of the SSPX Bishops against the accord, the Vatican spokesman began to say that still more time may be necessary. First, it was said that he would give a final approval by Pentecost, when the "Rosary crusade" of Bishop Fellay was calculated to finish. That Congregation supposedly sent its opinion to Benedict XVI for him to make the final decision.
Vatican Radio transcribed an evasive and ambiguous press communqué issued by the Congregation in which an approval is not mentioned, but only "further discussions." It affirmed that henceforth it would deal separately with each one of the SSPX Bishops, and not just Bishop Fellay speaking in the name of all ( here). Yesterday, Wednesday May 16, 2012, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith met to study those conditions.
After much consultation and hesitation, the head of the SSPX, Bishop Fellay, sent back to the Vatican on April 17, 2012, a "favorable answer" accepting those demands, but placing some conditions.This "doctrinal preamble" has not been made public so far, but its conditions cannot be too much different than the acceptance of Vatican II and the whole liturgical reform of Paul VI including the New Mass, submission to the Pope and the Holy See, the promise to not raise any public polemic on the issues still under discussion with Rome.On September 13, 2011, the Vatican sent to the SSPX leaders a document designated as "doctrinal preamble," with basic demands they need to agree upon in order to continue the next steps of the negotiations, that is, to be accepted by Rome and be given the canonical status of a Personal Prelature. As far as I know, the Rome-SSPX negotiations are in the following situation: Thank you for your consideration regarding the answer I gave a reader back in 2008. Therefore, any information and recommendations you have would be very much appreciated! I want to "maintain a strong position of resistance" to Modernism and Progressivism, and there are not any options for me to attend another traditional chapel, since in our town we only have sedevacantist and diocesan. However, I'm wanting to know if you have any information on what exactly he is going to sign?Īnd what would be the repercussions for a lay Catholic if he continued to attend a SSPX chapel. It doesn't appear that Bishop Fellay is going to sign a "formula of adhesion" where he accepts the New Mass and Vatican 2. Guimaraes said, "Should they sign the compromise, the Bishops will deny their decades-long fight against Modernism and Progressivism.It is my definite opinion that a lay Catholic should not follow in this compromise." Statement Cardinal Hoyos had made on March 27, 2008. Guimaraes gave on Apto someone asking him about a
I have attended the local SSPX chapel now for 8+ years, and of course, I'm very concerned about the possible agreement that Bishop Fellay may sign with the Vatican this month (week?!). I have been following your site for many years now, and appreciate it so much! I too believe that you are the most balanced and traditionally educational site on the internet.
