The SSPX just consecrated a very large church that garnered a lot of attention. Evidently they managed to get the pope’s attention as well. He asked “where” they get all their money. Shows what’s on his mind.
The recently consecrated and largest SSPX church in the world, the Immaculata in Saint Mary’s, Kansas.
It’s called the Faith. That’s where the money comes from, as Bishop Fellay rightly responded. That’s the job of the Church: the Faith and saving souls. We save souls by means of teaching the Faith, strengthening faith by means of the sacraments, reproving erring sinners as well.
That’s what the SSPX is doing: the Catholic Faith in a focused way to save souls without modernist distractions, accretions, substitutions and deceptions. And they are getting the very generous support they, and God, deserve.
So, I ask, why are Cardinal Burke and others who are responsible for knowing better, repeating the lie that SSPX is schismatic? Is it to dissuade needy souls and their dollars, who aren’t getting fed or saved in destroyed novus ordo parishes, from migrating to the nearest SSPX chapel, as many are already increasingly doing in the toxic new TC environment?
One wonders.
Even Pope Francis in Argentina was able to figure out the SSPX is Catholic and went on record saying so. The SSPX has faculties for confessions and weddings. Surely if the SSPX were truly schismatic the Church would yank the permission? But they haven’t. Surely the few orthodox bishops we have left can breathe a sigh of relief and gratefully agree with the pope at least on this one issue.
While attendance and dollars continue to nosedive in the Church, the few remaining generous traditional faithful are needed more and more. Guilting them into staying where the Faith is under attack is all the bishops have left.
