![]() ![]() Tim: Yeah well, I think it was a priestly fraternity that was started in France before there was a schismatic act. Host: And why-I-maybe I should know this, but why Pius X? What about him is… But I happen to know people who attend those masses from time to time because they love the traditional liturgy, they’re not available a lot of times very generously in a particular diocese, and they’re certainly not in sin. That’s one of the big sticking points concerning full communion with the SSPX, you know, they have to acknowledge that Vatican II is a valid ecumenical council. It doesn’t mean you’re free to reject all of Vatican II. ![]() There are other things that have to be taken into account, though. You know, the Church is not saying that you’re in sin if you go to those masses. So, you know, it’s again a sign that we’re moving toward-and I think it will be an exciting day, I pray that that day will come soon, where we will have-will no longer have to talk about this irregular status any longer but those who are attending SSPX masses because they love the Latin liturgy, they are not, you know, dissing Vatican Council II or anything like that… are not sinning. However, the Church has been, you know, bending over backward for the SSPX and those who love the traditional mass so that a permission has been given, for those who love the the Latin mass, to attend those those parishes. Now, as far as going to masses…again, because of their irregular status, you know, people should go to parishes where the priest is incardinated into the diocese. So it’s more movement, I think, in a good direction. So it’s not-it’s not like the confession, but it is extending-encouraging bishops to extend faculties. Now it does say in the letter, as I was just reading-I want to go back and really take it apart after this broadcast-but it did say that, because of the irregular status, the ordinary witness is a priest who is validly incardinated into the diocese but where that is not possible, where a priest is not available, that sort of thing, he’s encouraging them to extend faculties to SSPX priests. It’s not a mandate, he’s not exercising his immediate juridical authority as he did with confession, but he’s encouraging the Ordinaries to extend faculties, where possible, to the SSPX to witness marriages. Well, we just-in fact I was just reading it before I came over here, I didn’t finish reading the whole letter from from the Vatican on this-but it states that our Holy Father is encouraging bishops around the world to grant faculties. This is our Holy Father, he is the priest of mercy. That was really remarkable, and since the Year of Mercy ended, he did not take those away, so they they are yet extended. Tim: Right, well, because of their irregular status-although I don’t know if our inquirer is aware that there’s been more good news concerning movement toward full communion today as many of our listeners know, our Holy Father during the Year of Mercy extended faculties, exercising his immediate juridical authority, he communicated faculties to hear confessions to all SSPX priests. Host: Olga Marie, on Facebook Live, asks the following question: “Can we go to SSPX mass and be valid for our Sunday obligation?” ‘normal Catholics.’“įor all current news, visit our News home page.Tim Staples explains that anyone in full communion with Rome who attends an SSPX mass out of love for the traditional liturgy legitimately fulfills his Sunday obligation, and then gives a brief overview of the history of the society and its conflicts with the Church. Bishop Fellay remarked that the permission to ordain bishops is “one more step in his acceptance that we are. Pope Francis has already said that SSPX priests have the authority to hear sacramental confessions and preside at weddings that will be recognized by the Catholic Church. The SSPX has been involved in talks with the Vatican, aimed at regularizing the status of the group, and informed sources have indicated that an agreement is close to establish the SSPX as a personal prelature. He said that the move indicated that although the status of the SSPX remains irregular, “the ordination is recognized by the Church not just as valid but in order.” “Last year, I received a letter from Rome, telling me you can freely ordain your priests without the permission of the local ordinary,” Bishop Fellay reported. ![]() Shop: Roman Catholic "RC" Brand Original White Logo Collection All-Over Sweatshirt | Multiple colors and sizes available! ![]()
