SSPX Excommunication: When Fidelity Becomes the Crime

• Has the post-conciliar Church lost the moral authority to confront a culture of death?

• Why the SSPX faces excommunication while active homosexuals are “embraced”

• Who is really behaving like Protestants?

• The forgotten missionary work of the SSPX around the world

Why the July 1 consecrations could mark a turning point for traditional Catholics

As the July 1 SSPX episcopal consecrations approach, the threat of SSPX excommunication has once again become the focus of Catholic discussion.

In this episode of Remnant Underground, Michael Matt offers a last word on the controversy before Wednesday, July 1.

If the SSPX is condemned once again, what exactly is their crime? Disobedience…? Disobedience to what?

Michael also challenges the familiar accusation that the SSPX "behave like Protestants," reminding us that recent decades have seen Martin Luther and his Protestant Revolt actually CELEBRATED by Church leaders (POPES!).

The Vatican would have a lot less to gripe about vis-à-vis the SSPX if the issue was truly “they behave like Protestants.”

No, this debate has distilled down to one final question:

Has sacred Tradition itself become the only acceptable anathama in the post-Vatican II Church?

If Rome proceeds with another SSPX excommunication, many faithful Catholics will see it as a declaration of war and confirmation that the Faith, whole and entire, has become unwelcome in the Church that once defended it.

Watch, pray, and share:
