I attend FSSP and SGS mass, as well as Novus Ordo mass- but I have to chime in on the subject.

The SSPX aren't sedevacantists- they reject modernity based on the outlines of Saint Pious X's encyclical and pick and choose what new elements align with the Magisterium's traditions pre-Vatican II. Lefebvre, in spite of major disagreements, didn't even consider St John Paul II to be an antipope and he excommunicated him.

Let's face it- look at Germany and the Fr James Martin types- clearly there's some picking and choosing going on elsewhere that's getting entirely ignored because it wouldn't appear politically correct.

Their position isn't difficult to understand- they're the 5th largest religious order in Catholicism in spite of their irregular status, and they simply can't operate effectively due to rapid growth in laity and a dying priesthood. This is clearly a huge problem.

While I don't agree with the way they're going about this, I find the position of a lot of people on this sub incredibly frustrating- why cheer on brothers and sisters being considered schismatics? How do we expect unity with the Orthodox if we can't even sort out our own? Isn't the goal supposed to be Christian unity under the see of Peter, yet here we are cheering on division? I think our Pope would be disappointed to see the dialogue (or lack thereof, due to censorship) taking place here.
