SSPX Sick Calls?
The SSPX priory at Ridgefield, Connecticut recently included this notice in their bulletin.

“Sick calls are for those who are listed in our records as parishioners.”
The first reaction is to be shocked at such a lack of apostolic zeal. Is this not the equivalent of saying: People can go to hell, what business of ours is that?
The second, is to ask oneself: why? To answer, let us translate this scandalous notice into normal English. “We don’t have jurisdiction over anyone: our conciliar masters have only granted us jurisdiction over those people who are definitely our people, but not over their people. They would be very displeased if we trespassed on their territory!”
Bearing in mind Pope Francis’s approval for SSPX ordinations, jurisdiction for their confessions, the approval of their marriages, the SSPX’s recourse to conciliar courts using the modernist 1983 Code of Canon Law, and all the rest - isn’t this entirely consistent with a priestly Society which has been secretly absorbed into the conciliar church and now has to abide by their jurisdiction?
More Navel-Gazing
Listening to Fr Paul Robinson and Mr James Vogel talking about podcasts, the Angelus Press, etc. (here) has to be one of the most boring experiences of the year so far, a veritable cure for insomnia if ever there was one.
What’s more, when one considers that this is in effect the Angelus Press talking about the Angelus Press, a podcast about podcasts, one is reminded of the time the SSPX issued a press release about press releases. One of the surest signs of an organisation becoming ineffectual and rotten on the inside is when it starts to look inward and wastes time talking about itself.
The one noteworthy piece of news to be gathered, is that: Fr Paul Robinson Takes Over at Angelus Press
Go on, tell me again all about how The Realist Guide was just one rogue priest. Tell me again that it doesn’t represent his superiors or the SSPX as a whole. Not only has Angelus Press been selling that scandalous book, the SSPX has now placed its author in charge of Angelus.
The man who wrote a book promoting evolutionist ideas is now in charge of publishing the SSPX’s books for the whole English-speaking world.
Doubtful Novus Ordo Bishop Consecrates German SSPX’s Holy Oils
Bishop Vitus Huonder has featured in these pages before. Until now he has only been celebrating Mass on SSPX altars - that is, until Holy Week 2023. He has now been used to consecrate the holy oils at Zaitskofen, Germany. Are the SSPX bigwigs intending to ease him into the bloodstream? First doubtful oils, then..? Doubtful confirmations? Doubtful ordinations? He was consecrated bishop in the new rite of episcopal consecration in 2007, by a bishop who was himself also so consecrated in 1987 - “second generation doubtful,” in other words.
SSPX Watch!
