missionseeker Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 It seems like they have much more than this issue that they don't agree with. EENS, women, the valdidty of documents after VII. So I was wondering what's gonna happen with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 It would take a lot more than a universal indult to bring SSPXers back to the Church. One of the main things they'd need to help bring them back is a huge dose of humility -- something in which most of them seem to be sorely lacking.

Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Bring us back to what? we never left. and no the universal indult is not enough for us to practice the true faith. the Universal indult and novelty teaching is still modernistic. we would need a re-interpretation of the vatican II documents.

Aloysius Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I don't foresee a long-term schism. They could not sustain it unless they went full out sedevacantist. So long as they believe the seat of Peter to be filled, they cannot tolerate a multi-century schism. Short term roadblocks to reunion notwithstanding, we're not witnessing a great schism like that of 1054, we're witnessing a temporary one to be sure. and their doctrines regarding extra ecclesiam nulla sallus is not feenyite, they officially reject feenyism, so it's not really outside the realm of Catholic doctrine. the problem is not their pro-EENS doctrine, but their anti-Vatican II doctrine; and that's really not the same thing. anyway, a long-term schism could not be sustained so long as they continue to believe in the primacy of the Pope and that the pope in Rome is the valid pope.

MichaelFilo Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Many would. Many would not. Ecumensism, and the teaching that heretics are, for whatever reason, a part of the same church they reject, bothers most. And no matter how you see it, if you see the Novus Ordo, and the same people who call you Catholics, you'll just have an elite class and then the common rabble. There is a sure rift between those who keep to the traditions of the past, and those who live in the moment. God bless, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSPX won't come back as an organization, but I think a lot of its members might. Some group will always remain outside...like the Protestants they strive to emulate.

Surely, I don't like the SSPX in it's actions, but at least throw some fair criticism. It wasn't even ironic, as they dont' want to leave the Church, while Protestants wanted to see the whore of babylon destroyed.... and by that I mean what they supsected that whore was.

They have this Protestant attitude...it's a stretch I know, but it's not supposed to be academic, it's supposed to make the point that they are rebellious and by their rejection of authority have set up a Protestant Church which apes 1960s Catholicism.

[/quote] The problem with this mentality is that it implies that Vatican II cannot be re-interpreted as of right now...which makes me sad. Both "sides" work off of a mentality of reactionism, which is sad. The universal indult itself couldn't be modernity itself. The current teachings are heretical in some senses, but not from the Magisterium itself. It does need to be interpreted again, as the Pope has asked. Why do you have to join the loyalties of SSPX to ask for that re-interpretation? I think that to follow that line of thinking only leads to errors and a bad theology...Plus, it gives the wrong impression to say that only SSPX really doesn't fall into Modernism. It also implies that if SSPX holds the truth that no where else does so it means that it should re-interpret Vatican II to bring back the Church. However, it completely rejects the council and so this can never happen. If SSPX really wanted a re-interpretation, it would give its own...Sadly it cannot and will not.

God bless, Mikey [/quote] but they can't go back without rejecting the current Church. So, they have left. They are in schism, like the Protestants. Like, not as. Besides, I only speak for effect. I see the parallels between Protestantism and SSPX and I like to think about them. I think it's fun and close to the mark to call them Protestants. Plus, it really annoys them and I'm petty like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 this will not be a long term schism because the SSPX formally accepts the papacy, the current pope, and the unity of St. Peter. they have schismatic actions and a schismatic attitude but NOT schismatic intention OR major erroneous ecclesiological doctrines therefore they will not be and are not like the Protestant Reformation or the great schism of 1054. they have a heteropraxis similar to the protestant reformation, but not a heterodoxy. that's the major difference.
