SSPX vs. The Saints - Nov 15 - Homily - Fr Terrance

Описание: Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Nov 15, 2022, on how the admonitions of the Church in Sardis and Laodicea in the book of Revelation and in the Gospel apply to the SSPX of Lefebvre and whether they are in schism or not.

Canon 751 - Schism is rejecting the pope's authority in practice even if they say they respect him - https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iu...

and rejecting the authority local bishop, setting up a parallel church

St. Ignatius and his letters regarding bishops apply

John Salza - Divine law requires -    • John Salza on the SSPX  

1 - refuse submission to the pontiff

2 - refuse the external form of submission

3 - set up their own tribunals overriding the authority

They set up a parallel church, with bishops, seminaries, and tribunals, thus not in the Church, and this is precisely the opposite of what the saints did.

Popes have called them schismatic:

JPII - Apostolic Letter “Ecclesia Dei Adflicta” of 1988 paragraphs 3, 4 and 5c - it is a schism and should not be supported in any way - https://www.vatican.va/content/john-p...

Pope Francis - letter that accompanied the Motu Proprio “Traditionis Custodes" - "motivated by the desire to foster the healing of the schism w/ the movement of Mons. Lefebvre.” - https://www.vatican.va/content/france...

Other letters

To deny that they are in schism is to fall into the same word games as the modernists.

Lifting the excommunications did not take away the schism any more than lifting the excommunication of the Easter Orthodox bishops does not heal that one.

Impatience displayed by their disobedience is a refusal to suffer in the footsteps of Christ.

Saints are always obedient. Schism is false reform. True reform is to stay in the Church and become saints.
