Requiem Mass | Leave a comment MORE ABOUT THE SSPX AND THE HEART Posted on 19 April 2020 by Fr.John Zuhlsdorf
I
wrote about the SSPX the other day because some internet tweets were drawing out the worst in people. Opening up Twit-deck today reveals that the worst is still going on. The canonical status of the SSPX and the various issues connected to it, cannot be hashed out on Twitter, on Fakebook, in rambling partially-informed vlogs, etc. The situation of the SSPX is anomalous and difficult. Even the office of the Roman Curia that was set up in 1988 to handle matters related to the SSPX, _inter alia_, made careful and guarded comments about their status. (I know, I wrote some of them.) Since then there have been various backings and forthings which have helped and have harmed the dialogue between the Holy See and SSPX. Mistakes have been made and advances have been made. It is a difficult process because of the exceptional nature of the Society. In the anglophone sphere there is a problem which often blinds _dilettantes_ when it comes to matters of law and discipline and praxis and interpretation of Church matters. People with an American formation, especially, tend to like cut and dried, sharply defined edges and neat little boxes into which they can sort things. But that’s not how things work in the Church when it comes to law. I am reminded of a certain kind of priest who, because of inflexibility and not a little scrupulosity had to… simply_ had to_… make signs of the Cross during the Canon exactly _between the syllables_ of the words in which the marking was printed. This nearly Jansenist rigidity contributed to the maniac modernist war on our liturgical tradition, discipline and doctrine. This same thing can be found in lay people of a strongly traditional stripe, for whom all priests must conform in their manner of saying Mass to how they recall old Fr. Sven O’Brian used to do it, ’cause he used to wiggle his pinky finger at the same point in Mass as followed in their ol’ _St.Joseph Missal_.
Some people don’t know what they don’t know. I know quite a lot about the SSPX situation, as it turns out, but I don’t know what’s going to happen next. All along the way, just as I thought I had things worked out, I’d get thrown a wicked changeup. The priests of the SSPX are _clearly_ suspended _a divinis_. Welllll… not so much, since they can now receive faculties to witness marriages. Priests of the SSPX _clearly_ don’t have faculties to absolve penitents in regular auricular confession. Welllll… not so much, since now they do. What’snext?
The priests of the SSPX _obviously _don’t have faculties to _preach_ or to _say Mass_. Oh, yeah? I’m waiting foranother changeup.
I can’t predict what will come next, but I have learned to be patient at the plate and not grip the bat too tightly. My view has had to evolve as the situation evolves. One day this is going to get sorted out. I hope soon._Repetita iuvant_.
The fact is, the SSPX is a what the ancient Latin writer Juvenal in his _Satires_ would call “_rara avis in terris nigro simillima cygno_… a bird as rare on earth as a black swan”. They didn’t think black swans existed. They were wrong, but that’s not the point. That’s where we get the phrase _rara avis, _a “rare bird”, something unique or hardly to be imagined. There’s nothing else out there quite like the SSPX. Notwithstanding, some hard-headed and clearly hard-hearted folks out there are absolutely _determined_ that the SSPX _must_ be definitively _categorized_ and _confined_ to a _precise_ cubbyhole otherwise… _OTHERWISE!! _… as Dr. Peter Venkman predicted: “Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!” They just can’t stand that the SSPX does not conform to their paradigm of how the Church _ought_ to work… on their planet. Since I’m on a quoting roll, back in seminary in Rome there were guys from way up in Piemonte who had their own indecipherable ways and dialect. Sometimes when talks or sermons got a little long one of them would mutter, “gavte la nata”, which was eventually explained to me as meaning, “pull the cork out”. In other words, let the pressure out and let’s get on with things. Will you allow me to digress into a personal anecdote? It’s about one of the most important things that ever happened to me in Rome and it has to do with the traditional Mass and with rigid positions. When I was at “Ecclesia Dei_“, _early on, we had a really strained correspondence with an intractable American bishop, an infamous über-lib, who had a deadly feud going on with people in his diocese who wanted the traditional Mass. The people got us involved, the bishop got angry. It was awful. Finally, the bishop wrote to us a letter that was seriously rude, even insulting. I had had it. “Basta!” I drafted a response for the Cardinal that was going to END the issue by bringing in the weightof the office.
My dear late mentor and boss, Card. Mayer, the holiest man I’ve ever known, called me to his office, as usual, to go over various drafts of correspondence. He had saved The Draft – my hammer on the bishop – until the end. He said that what I had written was correct and proper. “This is what we should write, of course.” Then he asked about the first sentence, “Here you wrote, X. Do you think perhaps we could write Yinstead?”
“Of course, Your Eminence! It’s your letter”. Changes were made in his carefully microscopic writing. “And in this place, you wrote X. Could Y work here?” “Yes, Eminenza!”, I responded. We continued that way until there was literally nothing remaining of my Draft – the hammer – but a couple of “ands” and “thes”. We were actually laughing as my composition relentlessly disappeared under the black ink spiderweb of the Cardinal’s emendations, each one carefully and politely framed as a question, asking permission. At last I said, “I obviously don’t have the right view of this. Help me out. Help me to understand how you want me to approachthis.”
He paused a bit and looked at the crucifix on the wall of his office and said, “At a certain point, we have to stop fighting and try to open up their hearts.” With that, I went back to my desk and stared at the keys of the typewriter… yes, typewriter… and pondered. “How do I open this bishop’s heart after all the bitter bridge burning? One of us has to give, and clearly it has to be us. Get off your high horse and keep it simple.” I flashed out another draft and was back in the Cardinal’s office a few minutes later. He looked at my new version, approved it, and out it went in the evening mail bag. What, you might be asking, did I write in that second draft to that bishop? It was not long. It was not complicated. I apologized to him for our part in making the correspondence so difficult and then said along this line, “Your Excellency, so many good people in your diocese simply want to have access to Holy Mass according to the 1962 _Missale Romanum_. Will you please, Your Excellency, not open your heart for them and give them what they want? They would be so happy. Sending prayerful best wishes for, etc. etc.” Some time later we received a note from one of the faithful in that bishop’s diocese who had been involved in the feud and tension. He thanked us for what we did, and related that, not only had this über-lib, tradition-hating bishop given the required permission for the Traditional Mass, but he came to them and _he said it himself_. I was stunned, but I don’t think the Cardinal was. To this day, my heart gets chilly and I often fail in charity. But I am, I trust, a work in progress. But that was was an important life lesson. I learned that, in the matter especially of the dynamics of tradition, the heart is an important lens through which to view complicated conflicts. This is because, I am convinced, the Enemy knows that he cannot succeed if we succeed in renewing the life of the Church through a recovery of our traditional liturgical rites. So the Devil is going to fuel feuds, create strife, harden hearts. Moreover, Old Scratch and demons are the ultimate lawyers. If they can keep us quibbling and mired in the details, we are renderedineffective.
Recovery of our identity is just as much a matter of the heart as it is a matter of stuff we can grind about in our heads. I could tell story after story like the one above. I also have many tales about the zeal of good SSPX priests whom we helped out at _Ecclesia Dei_, and whom I personally got to know. What a lot of people today don’t understand is what the atmosphere of those times was like, especially in certain countries. The hostility and vindictiveness of bishops and priests in positions of power was nothing short of diabolical. It was far worse in Europe than it was in these USA back then. And, these days, especially in these USA, the situation is now _very_ much improved. Hence, it is really hard, especially for the young who haven’t been in the trenches, newcomers, as it were, to take in all these matters, and especially for lay people, to understand these matters fromwithin.
This is why I think that some whippersnappers out there should put a sock in it for a little while and… please… open their _hearts_ tothe matter.
I urge every one just to unclench about the SSPX. Could you, please? The situation of the SSPX is complicated. It is anomalous. It isevolving.

PASCHALCAZT 54: LOW SUNDAY “IN ALBIS”: “THE EASTER LESSON COMES DOWN TO OUR OWN LIVES.” Posted on 19 April 2020 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf Today is the Easter Octave Sunday, or Dominica in albis, for the white baptismal garments of those who were recently baptized. It is sometimes called “Thomas Sunday” because of the Gospel reading about the “doubting” Apostle. It is also famously called “Quasimodo Sunday” for the first word of the opening chant, the Introit (cf. 1 Peter 2:2-3). It is called “Low Sunday” probably in contrast to the hoopla oflast Sunday.
Oh yes… now it is often called “Mercy Sunday” because of the emphasis on the dimension of the mercy of God’s redemptive act celebrated at Easter. The newest, third edition of the Missale Romanum of 2002 specifically labels this Sunday: Dominica II Paschae seu de divina Misericordia. The Roman Station is St. Pancras on the Gianicolo Hill. Today we wrap things up in the _final_ podcast for Lent and Easter cycle, with wisdom from Card. Bacci and from Fulton J. Sheen. Subscribe on SOUNDCLOUD . Podcast: Play in new window| Download

ASK FATHER: WHAT TO DO IF MARRIAGES ARE NOT ALLOWED UNTIL THE PANDEMICPASSES?
Posted on 18 April 2020 by Fr. John ZuhlsdorfFrom
a reader…
_QUAERITUR:_
> I was wondering if, given the circumstances and churches not > allowing\ marriages to take place, if the Church permits a civil > legal marriage to afford the couple the legal rights of a married > couple and hold off on a valid sacramental marriage until this all > passes assuming they live a brother and sister in the meantime? GUEST PRIEST RESPONSE: Fr. Tim Ferguson Canon 1116 talks about the Extraordinary Canonical Form of marriage (not marriage using the Extraordinary Form of the Ritual, i.e. the ritual in use in 1962). This canon states that Catholics without recourse to a legitimate marriage officiant (a priest, deacon, or bishop with the proper authority) who are in danger of death, or in a situation where “it is prudently foreseen that the situation will continue for a month,” can validly and licitly contract marriage before witnesses only. In many places right now, it could be prudently foreseen that the current situation – the lack of the public celebration of the sacraments – might continue for a month. Thus, if John and Susie are itching to get married, and Father Cyril is unable to officiate at that wedding, from the Church’s perspective, they could enter into a valid, binding, sacramental, canonical marriage in the presence of witnesses alone. And as a valid, binding, sacramental, canonical marriage, they would not be expected to live as brother and sister – they would have every right to enjoy the goods of marriage. Now, civil law is another matter – but if John and Susie can’t get hitched by Father Cyril, but Judge Fontaine is willing and able to do it with two witnesses, that wedding would be considered canonical valid and sacramental. It would be worthwhile, in such a situation, to contact the local chancery and ask, flat out, will the diocese be permitting the public celebration of marriages on May 18, 2020. If the answer is absolutely yes, then you have to wait. If the answer is absolutely no, then you can feel free to call Judge Fontaine. If the answer is, well, we’re not sure, we have to wait and see… then that pesky “prudence” comes in to play. Please share this post!

ASK FATHER: COHABITING COUPLE WHO OWN A HOUSE. (MUST READ HILARITY!) Posted on 18 April 2020 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf I don’t like hypothetical questions. “What if’s…?” can goon forever.
However, this one was interesting. So I reached out to my friend Fr. Ferguson, knowing in my bones that what I would get back would be adoozy.
It’s a doozy.
From a reader…
_QUAERITUR_:
> I have a hypothetical question for you. Let’s say a couple who has > been cohabiting buy a house together and co-own it, both have money > in it and neither parties has the financial means to buy the other > person out, and selling it isn’t possible either (terrible housing > market). Neither party has the intention to marry the other and have > been together for a very long time. What is the morally correct > thing to do in this case? Would it be sufficient to live separately > in the same house such as roommates (to my surprise, our traditional > priest says co-Ed roommates are allowed if they have separate rooms. > My dad didn’t seem to think so, fwiw)? GUEST PRIEST RESPONSE: Fr. Tim Ferguson Hypothetical situations are difficult to talk about, and almost impossible to provide clear moral guidance on, because, as a hypothetical situation, there are far too many variables that could completely alter the case. Let’s flesh out this hypothetical situation. Hypothetically, of course. Titus and Bertha moved in together when they were stupid, hormone-stricken 19 year olds, away from home at a college out of state. Neither went to church regularly, and they knew, deep down in their hearts, that love would conquer all, and together they were going to show the world what real maturity was like. Ten years later, Bertha’s got a good job at a local bank, has stopped smoking marijuana, and is looking ahead to her future. Titus worked for a moving company for awhile before he got fired for smoking on the job, then he helped his buddy Biff in his pool cleaning business for a bit before it shut down because too much money was going into late-night nachos and the latest tennis shoes. Now, Titus collects unemployment and has several high-level characters on different World of Warcraft servers as well as a killer tattoo of Bertha’s name turning into a butterfly on his left arm. On the advice of a friend, Bertha goes one Tuesday evening to a Catholic Mass and the beauty reawakens in her heart the faith she had stopped practicing in tenth grade when Sr. Noreen yelled at her for having her skirt too short. Bertha comes home, sees Titus on the couch and thinks – I want more out of life. But his name is on the house as well, and she doesn’t want to go through the battle right now. Does she stay in the house, move into a separate room, go make a good confession, and start living her life as a practicing Catholic – more or less ignoring her domestic situation until an easy out comes along? No. Bertha puts on her big girl pants and gives Titus and ultimatum. He has three options: a) clean up, sober up, get a job and propose to her; b) pick up his dirty clothes, move out, and sell his half of the house to her; or c) let her sell her half of the house to him, and she’ll pack up her dishes and Willow Tree figurines and move out. Or, lets flesh it out this way: Connie and Brian move in together after a short but passionate affair, having met on the job at the local pancake house. Deeply in love, but young and immature, they do what all their friends are doing and first rent a cheap, rundown apartment. But as they grow up, and grow together, they start moving forward with their lives. After ten years, Brian is a manager at the restaurant, and Connie is successfully selling beaded jewelry on her Etsy shop and doing medical records transcription at home. But, the flame has gone out of their relationship. They are bonded, not by romance, but by time and inertia. Both are nominally Catholic, and go occasionally to Mass, only learning recently that the tripe they had learned in CCD class back at St. Edmund’s of the Hills Parish and Country Club was balderdash, and coming to the realization that living together without the benefit of marriage is objectively sinful. They know they should move apart, but their finances are mixed, and a little tricky. Brian has a good job, but couldn’t afford to get his own place. Connie has claimed a chunk of their house as a business expense and they also have two vehicles that they jointly own. The housing market is lousy right now, and if they tried to sell and buy two separate places, they would both take an inordinate loss. It’s going to take some time to separate their finances and their lives. They go to Fr. Dan McTradington, who counsels them that it’s okay for them to continue living under the same house – in different bedrooms – while they work toward separating. He counsels them that they need to firstly ensure that they remain chaste, and that they avoid giving scandal as much as possible. He helps them to set a reasonable timeline and asks them to regularly check in with him on the steps they’re taking. Of course, it’s all hypothetical, so there could be another thousandvariations…

ANOTHER POINT ABOUT THE SSPX. THEY ARE NOT A SMALL, FRINGE GROUP. Posted on 17 April 2020 by Fr. John ZuhlsdorfIn
the wake of my post about the SSPX yesterday,
it has come up in email and comments that the SSPX is a small group. Libs really like to fling this around. “This is a small fringe group. They shouldn’t be given any attention or place in theChurch.”
HOWEVER…
The SSPX isn’t as small as some people think (or desire). Take a gander at the SSPX entry on Wikipedia. We read… > If the Society’s canonical situation were to be regularized, IT > WOULD BE THE CHURCH’S 4TH LARGEST SOCIETY OF APOSTOLIC LIFE > (similar to a religious order, but without vows), according to the > three criteria published annually in _Annuario Pontificio _: number of erected houses (median 31; SSPX 167), number of > members in the society (median 229; SSPX 971), and number of priests > in the society (median 149; SSPX 640). If they were completely regularized, they would have been in 2016 be the 4th LARGEST society of apostolic life in the Church! Meanwhile, they have been growing and other orders and societies in the Church, without canonical conundrums, have been shrinking. No wonder libs and some non-libs are nervous about them. Also, they have built a huge new seminary in these USA in Virginia.A beautiful place.
They are building an enormous church in Kansas. They even had sent out a survey in consideration of creating a kind of Catholic town or community. If people think that the SSPX is just some little group and not worthy of consideration, they are not living in reality. Please allow me to add the point I concluded with yesterday. The situation of the SSPX is messy. The Society doesn’t fit easily into categories. It’s unique. This is complicated affair and not fairly characterized by simple black and white Olympianstatements.
A great deal of what I see written about the SSPX is poorly-informed, mean-spirited, spiritually-stingy twaddle hurled down as if it were an unerring bolt from Zeus. It behooves us to treat the priests of the Society with charity. We have to be at least as flexible and generous as the Church herself in the way that she interprets her laws. We interpret laws that place burdens as narrowly and strictly as possible, so as not to place undue burdens on people. We interpret laws that give advantages and favors as widely and liberally as possible, so as to expand what we enjoy. When we consider matters having to do with the SSPX, let’s be at least as gentle as the Church’s attitude in interpreting her laws. Please share this post!

WHEREIN AN IRRITATED FR. Z RECOUNTS TODAY’S FIGHT WITH OLD SCRATCH Posted on 16 April 2020 by Fr. John ZuhlsdorfIn
November of 2018 when the late Bp. Morlino died, I was in Paris. I was able to celebrate a Requiem Mass for him in Notre-Dame – before the fire! – in the chapel of the Crown of Thorns.
Shortly after, still in Paris, I was hit by a motorcycle. As often happens with experiences like this, the details come back later. I had the strong sensation of being pushed into the street, in the sightof Notre-Dame.
Today, the day after the anniversary of the burning of Notre-Dame (which I think was arson) and my posting about it, with a recording of its bells which are supposed to repel demonic influence, I specifically, aloud, asked God to help me get something right in my interpretation of Christ’s odd words to Mary Magdalen (from whom Christ had cast seven devils), “Do not cling to me” and the use of the Greek middle voice imperative. Sermon video HERE. After Mass I started the Leonine Prayers. I had the strongest sensation of being _choked_. I muddled through to the end. But I was really pissed off. I couldn’t conclude anything other than this was a harassment by the Enemy. So, I returned the favor with a spiritual and priestly baseball bat tohis hideous face.
The folder I used for the readings, had in it the Title XI Chapter 3 “Exorcism against Satan and Apostate Angels”. I have the faculty from the Bishop of Madison to use this prayer also in public. So I read it and then sprinkled the place with Epiphany Water which I blessed last January. Screw you, Satan. Touch a priest and you are going to have the agonyyou deserve.
The Mass is HERE , but starting at the point where I begin the Exorcism, in Latin, HERE . I was really irritated and wasn’t going to let Scratch have a pass. I’ve been asking people to pray for the miraculous eradication of the Coronavirus. I strongly believe that this is a _spiritual_ war and not just an worldly challenge. I think the virus and what’s going on in the Church are connected. I don’t know how, but I think they are. So, I am not surprised that I might get some harassment from Old Scratch. And, interestingly enough, about a month ago, when I really started in on this prayer for the virus thing, I wound up falling and re-injuring the same foot that was badlyinjured in Paris.

Posted in SESSIUNCULA | Tagged exorcism | 31 Comments FR. Z’S KITCHEN: VIGNAROLA ROMANA AND USING UP LEFT OVERS WITH STUFFIN THE FREEZER
Posted on 16 April 2020 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf The other day I noticed some cheese named for St. Rocco, who is a patron saint invoked against disease and pandemic. I took it as a sign that I should buy it… to help against the Coronavirus, you know. Trying to do my best for _you_. Sometimes I miss Rome… a lot. I had planned to be there, pretty much now and into May. Sigh. When I miss Rome, I bring Rome to me… in my kitchen. A friend of mine from Rome wrote that she was making Vignarola alla romana. “That’s the ticket”, quoth I. These days if the markets were open they would be filled with new artichokes and broadbeans and peas. The Romans make something called VIGNAROLA from those components. There are variations, with wild lettuce and with guanciale, etc. I don’t have these fresh things available. So… _IMPROVISE – ADAPT – OVERCOME_! At the shops I found some – alas – canned artichokes. No frozen were available. I found some good frozen peas and, for the _fave, _fresh but flash frozen lima beans. Start with some oil and give some heat to green or spring onions. In go the artichokes, In go the still frozen lima beans. Add a slosh of dry white wine. Simmer together. Add a little fresh mint. It can be done with parsley, but mint is better. More torn mint. Simmer. It was surprisingly good! It wasn’t quite a good as it could have been with great Roman fresh ingredients, but it was pretty darn good. And so easy. Since I don’t like to let the perfect be the enemy of the good, I was happy with it and enjoyed it. I asked a priest friend for a Supper for the Promotion of Clericalism™, with appropriate social distancing. I soaked potatoes in salt water and roasted them. My little portable grill was quickly set up in the courtyard outside The Cupboard Under The Stairs for the preparation of a very large porterhouse steak, which was on a super good sale. With the vignarola romana and a _superb_ bottle of wine – thanks to donors – I splurged on forEaster…
I had so much vignarola that I had to do something with it. However, again my Roman friend suggested making _meatloaf _withit!
“Wow!”, quoth I. “Let’s do _that_!” I made the bread crumbs with the heels of a loaf and with the remains of the bread from the Supper for the Promotion of Clericalism. I had ground pork and ground 96 beef in the freezer archive. Italian parsley and 6 big garlic cloves went through the processor. Two eggs. Also, more mint! So, baked potatoes (big bag for $5!) and chives with _polpettone davignarola romana_!
And now I have so much meatloaf that I will be eating it for a while. Hmmm… maybe I could make some kind of pasta sauce out of it …. Please share this post! Twitter Facebook Gmail Email PrintFriendly Print PinterestKindle It WhatsApp

ASK FATHER: WHAT’S THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SSPX? Posted on 16 April 2020 by Fr. John ZuhlsdorfI
was informed that some prominent internet wonks were/are having a spatabout the SSPX.
I looked around and found all manner of strange, useless and confusion-riddled comments about the status of the SSPX, their objectives and holiness, and blah blah. Various sections of the addled peanut gallery got involved in the online feud. As inevitably happens. Thus, we are again presented with a concrete demonstration that in many of these dust ups a heck of a lot of people _don’t know what they don’t know._ Let’s aim for some clarity and charity about the SSPX. I write this now, why? Firstly, because of the aforementioned online and thoroughly unedifying dust up. Also, because someone wrote to complain that in some of my daily 5 minute podcasts I read paragraphs from a spiritual book by a priest of the SSPX, Fr. Patrick Troadec’s work _TowardEaster_.
Imagine such a thing! Third, because of the whole COVID lockdown thing, many emails have come in asking a) if it is sinful to go to Masses at still open chapels of the SSPX and b) is it sinful – I am not making this up – to watch their live-streamed services on the internet. No, and no. I’ll dig into some issues about the SSPX in a moment. From the onset, however, I warmly urge people who don’t know what they are talking about not to leap in with unhelpful notions about law, theology, etc., and stick to discussing something more fruitful, such as the evils of the designated hitter or of changing the rules about intentional walks. O… the humanity._Ad ramos_!
I preface this with my observation, from personal experience, of some of the priests of the SSPX. They are mostly terrific guys, dedicated, zealous for souls, hard workers and determined priests. Better formed in history, philosophy, liturgy and theology than a great many of garden variety priests I know. (Not that we think clergy should be well educated. Sheesh.) I would be, will be I hope, honored to have them working alongside me in this diocese or whereverGod takes me.
Here are a few facts. The SSPX (technically _Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Santi Pii X) _is a priestly Fraternity or Society of priests. The SSPX does not have formal canonical status _other than_ they are exercising a canonical right to associate with each other. Their “association of the faithful” does not now have canonical recognition. Hopefully one day they will be set up and recognized formally as a, say, Personal Prelature or some variant. However, can. 299 §1 says that by private agreement among themselves, the faithful have the right to constitute associations for the purposes mentioned in can. 298 §1, which are, for example, when clerics or laity want to strive with common effort for foster a more perfect life, promote public worship, etc. The SSPX is an association of the faithful. No question. Could it have higher status? Sure. It doesn’t have no status. On 8 December 2015, Francis told the Catholic faithful that for the Holy Year of Mercy they could go to priests of the SSPX for the Sacrament of Penance and that they could be validly absolved. That provision was extended beyond the “Year of Mercy” in the 2016 Apostolic Letter _Misericordia et misera._
It stands today. This is a little odd, because it was not really a formal grant of faculties in the usual and expected way to the priests of the SSPX, as when a bishop grants faculties to a priest to receive sacramental confessions. Those faculties are demonstrable with a document saying that Fr. Soandso has the faculty, etc. In this case there is no document that I’m aware of that explicitly grants faculties to the priests of the SSPX to hear confessions and to absolve. However, Popes can do what they want in this regard. It’s better when they do things in a way that make things clear, with all the i’s dotted. In this case, Francis said that people can be absolved by SSPX priests and that, as they say, is that. Popes can do that sort of thing, whereas other entities such as dicasteries of the Holy See (e.g., the Pontifical Commission “_Ecclesia Dei” _(PCED) of old and now CDF, and diocesan bishops) have to use another procedure. So, SSPX priests can validly absolve sins even when there is no danger of death. You can go to confession to them not just because there are no other priests around. You can go to them _because you want to_. No question. On 27 March 2017 the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (which had absorbed my old office, the PCED) informed all the bishops of the world that they could give faculties to SSPX priests to witness marriages. As in the case of hearing confessions, marriages require that a priest have the appropriate faculty. There had been considerable debate about the validity of SSPX witnessed marriages. What Francis did removed doubt. The priests can now have the faculty themselves and they can work with a local diocesan priest. Since then, I think most, not all, diocesan bishops have worked with local SSPX priests in this regard and simply given the SSPX priests the faculty. Something important to note about this is that that letter of the CDF did NOT say that, “Up until now, the marriages witnessed by the SSPX priests were invalid.” The Apostolic Letter _Misericordia et misera _did NOT say that, “Until now, the absolutions given by priests of the SSPX were invalid.” That’s food for thought. That moves the goal posts significantly. We can’t just think of the SSPX priests and confession and marriages in the same way that we did _before_ those grants. Furthermore – AND PAY ATTENTION because this is really important – suspended priests cannot receive faculties. If the SSPX priests can receive faculties, and they have, all over the place, then_ they arenot suspended_!
Another point, and one that touches close to home with many lay people who love our Catholic tradition: attendance at SSPX Masses. The Masses celebrated by SSPX priests are celebrated in a Catholic rite. No question. As I have written a zillion times on this blog about fulfilling Sunday and Holy Day obligations, in can. 1248 1 we read that a person who assists at a Mass celebrated anywhere in a Catholic rite either on the feast day itself or in the evening of the preceding day satisfies the obligation of participating in the Mass. Again, the SSPX priests use a Catholic rite, the _Missale Romanum_ and other liturgical books of the Latin Church. So, yes, you can choose to go to a Mass of the SSPX, not just because there is no other Mass, but _because you want to_. No question. As to the question: “Is it sinful to go to an SSPX Mass?” Answer: It depends on why you are going there. Frankly, yes, it would be sinful to go to their Masses out of sheer desire to hurt local parishes or priests or because you hate the local bishop, or Pope, or some aspect of the Church, blah blah blah. Frankly, yes, it would be sinful to attend a parish where there are liturgical abuses that you happen to know are abuses but you like those abuses and you don’t care about authority. Frankly, no, it is not sinful to attend an SSPX Mass if you are seeking sound liturgy and preaching and other good people who desire the same. Noquestion.
As a matter of fact, you can contribute money to their collections: it is a matter of justice. If you receive services from them, you cancontribute.
Sometimes I hear the claim that the SSPX is “not in communion” with the Catholic Church. I have heard that they are “not Catholic”. These claims are absurd on the face of it. No reasonable and even half-informed mind can conclude that they are not “Catholic”. They are clearly not Protestant, who are heretics. They are clearly not Orthodox, who are schismatics. And I am not sure that there is such as thing as “imperfect communion”. What would that be, exactly? You are either in communion or you aren’t. In the past, sometimes we have seen statements, for example in the decree issued by the Congregation for Bishops in 2009 which lifted the excommunications of the SSPX bishops, that such a gesture aimed at “full communion” and as well as “proof of visible unity”. It doesn’t say that there wasn’t/isn’t communion or unity. It aims at making both _more apparent_, which is not the same as bringing either one about. Moreover, the three bishop members of the SSPX – excluding the fourth, a separate case – are NOT excommunicated. Benedict XVI lifted that excommunication incurred in 1988 – _probably_ with retroactive effect – in 2009. And the priests are notexcommunicated.
Also, it is claimed that the SSPX has been in schism since 1988 because the illicit consecration of bishops by Archbp. Lefevbre was a “schismatic act” (cf. _Ecclesia Dei adflicta_ 3).
However, it takes more than “an act” to create a real schism. It was obviously, manifestly, NOT Archbp. Lefevbre’s intention to set up a separate or rival Church, or to make himself or someone else an anti-Pope, or to create other aspects of a true schism. The SSPX priests quite openly have used the names of the Popes in the Roman Canon during Mass. They have recourse to diocesan tribunals in marriage and other matters. They follow the decrees of the Sacra Penitentieria Apostolica in the matter of indulgences. They accept faculties for marriages etc. from local bishops. Recently, they communicated to their followers the dispensations and provisions given by local bishops in this time of Coronavirus lockdown. These are not the acts of schismatics. The SSPX has common and shared faith, sacrament and governance. Protestants have some shared faith, a couple sacraments, and no governance. Orthodox have shared faith and sacraments but not shared governance. The SSPX has all three, as it clear by the fact that Francis acted in their regard about the Sacraments of Penance and Matrimony in way that would be impossible with, say, heretics or schismatics. They are not “separated brethren”. No question. Some don’t like the SSPX because they say that people should attend the Traditional Latin Mass and not the Novus Ordo. How shocking that they should say that people would do better to come to _their_ Masses rather than someone else’s, particularly when they sincerely believe that the Novus Ordo is flawed and inadequate. They do NOT believe that it is invalid! They think it is flawed and, in some respects, possibly harmful to the faith. It could be argued that after several decades of the Novus Ordo a large percentage of Catholics have a flawed understanding of a great deal of Catholic teaching. But I digress. The SSPX doesn’t say that Novus Ordo is invalid. The SSPXers are often said to be against or critical the Second Vatican Council. However, they acknowledge that Vatican II was, in fact, the 21st Ecumenical Council. What they say about the Council is what the Council said about itself: it was intended to be _pastoral_ Council (which is itself a historical departure) rather than a Council that would issue dogmatic statements. Paul VI took the documents and he promulgated them. That doesn’t mean that everything in every document is beyond criticism. Some things are crystal clear and others are as clear as mud. Libs say that everything in the mud is dogmatic according to their own interpretations. It is legitimate to debate about the debatable things. We can by convinced one way or another by clarifications made by legitimate authority (e.g., CDF) or by the force of the arguments. For example, the “Dogmatic Constitution” _Lumen gentium _had a point about the possibility of salvation outside the church (there’s a dogma about that). It was not clear. Many debated about it. Hence, in 2000 the CDF issued _Dominus Iesus_. It is possible to be confused by things in Council documents, debate them, make arguments and then have them clarified, over time, by subsequent authoritative declarations. BTW… one might read the commentary on _Gaudium et spes _by young Fr. Ratzinger in the book edited by Herbert Vorgrimler (HINT: deep reservations about its drafting, structure and anthropocentrism). So, the SSPX is in a strange state, but not really the state that some (most?) think they are in. Their chapels are not parishes; a parish is a formal canonical structure. They don’t have a clear ecclesiastical jurisdiction, as dioceses or a personal prelature or religious order does. Their priests are not incardinated anywhere, which make them odd ducks in a way, but not _less_ priests than priests who are incardinated in a diocese or in a religious group. They can and do receive faculties from legitimate authority and, hence, they are not suspended. Let’s bring this to the bottom line. When it comes to critics of the SSPX, clerical and lay, it seems to me that a little more charity, thoughtfulness and prudence might be adopted. There is a rigidity running through some conservative or tradition-leaning Catholics which reminds me a little of the attitude of the Pharisees. Libs remind me of Pharisees all the time, by theway.
Within the very heart of how the Church applies and interprets her laws there is a beautiful and gentle principle _the spirit of which_ we can learn from when talking about the SSPX: _odiosa restringi et favores convenit ampliari_, or else _odiosa sunt restringenda et favoribilia amplianda/ampliantur_. That is to say, laws that place burdens or restrictions on people must be interpreted strictly so that they don’t put onto people what the laws don’t say. On the other hand, laws which grant favors or freedoms to people should be interpreted as generously as possible so that people can enjoy favors and freedoms. Be narrow and picky with laws that restrict and wide and generous with laws that grant things. The SSPX is an association of the faithful. They don’t yet have canonical recognition. But they could and, I think, will. Until then they are still a real thing _in the Church_. Their sacraments are valid. The priests can receive faculties, so they are not suspended. Their bishop members are not excommunicated. They have shared faith, sacraments and governance, which is borne out everyday in practice by their recourse to tribunals, reference to the decrees of the Penitentieria, etc. They aren’t a separate Church. They aren’t heretics. They aren’t a schism. You can satisfy your Mass attendance obligations at their chapels. You can be validly absolved by them. They can witness your marriages. Is their situation complicated. Heck, yeah it is! Especially in regard to the question of incardination of the priests. That’s really the most difficult canonical issue. Also, the situation of the SSPX and of the wider Church is evolving, especially in light of the concession of faculties. As it evolves, we have to step back, cool down and reevaluate. We probably have a whole bunch of living to do before the trumpet sounds. I think our views can evolve in a constructive way. I surehope so.
Meanwhile, quite a few people would do well to _stick a sock in it_ when it comes to the SSPX. Carping at them, or parroting inaccuracies, does no one any good and it confuses people. This is a _really complicated situation_ that is not helpfully characterized by glib cliches or reduced to simplistic conclusions. Having a gentler attitude, even in regard to their lawful status, as suggested by the Latin dictum I quoted above, seems to me to be the better and the more Catholic approach. We might apply a little mercy. Speaking of mercy, during the Year of Mercy convoked by Francis – which the SSPX observed! – the leadership, 250 priests and 5500 followers of the SSPX had their pilgrimage to St. Peter’s Basilica,
where they were welcomed. Then-Superior Bp. Fellay gave a sermon and they prayed for Francis. I have on my wall a reproduction of a painting in London’s National Gallery by Salvatore Rosa called “The Philosopher”, possibly a self-portrait. The stern, somberly garbed figure holds a sign with the words: AUT TACE AUT LOQUERE MELIORA SILENTIO. “Either shut up or say something better than silence would be.” I want to keep the knucklehead stuff out of the combox, so I will turnon moderation.

“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z Coat of Arms by D Burkart*

DON’T RELY ON POPES, BISHOPS AND PRIESTS. “Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”- Fulton Sheen
Therefore, ACTIVATE YOUR CONFIRMATIONand get to
work!

“The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender's inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for every one else the proper pleasure of ritual.”- C.S. Lewis

AS FOR LATIN…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI "Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (_Brutus_ 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to : 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II*

LET US PRAY…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R.Amen.

THIS CATECHISM HELPED TO BRING FR. Z INTO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!*
FATHERS, YOU DON’T KNOW WHO MIGHT SHOW UP! IT COULD BE A “BIG FISH” OF ONE SORT OR OTHER… And... GO TO CONFESSION! “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happenedafterward.”
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn*
