Stance on SSPX
The Society of St. Pius X is a Catholic priestly society in an irregular canonical situation with Rome, but numerous Vatican authorities have permitted the faithful to attend their chapels and churches for Mass. The Holy Father, Pope Francis, has given them complete faculties to also hear confessions and witness weddings. According to the Holy See, all faithful Catholics are also fully permitted to tithe at SSPX churches.

Stance on Sedevacantism
Sedevacantism is a grevious error that a small portion of Catholics have unfourtunately fallen into during their desperation of desiring the traditionalist rites of the Church. To put it clearly, sedevecantism is a heresy that denies the current Pope as being valid and believes that the Second Vatican Council was not a genuine ecumenical council. Sedevacantist believe that all popes after Ven. Pius XII have been anti-popes and that Catholic sacraments are invalid. These brothers and sisters have such a great love of tradition and of the latin mass which in of itself is a beautiful and holy thing. When their love of tradition leads them to break communion with Rome this is not the work of God, but rather the Evil One twisting a pure intention. Under no uncertain terms should faithful catholics ever attend Holy Mass at a sedevanctist church or recieve any of their sacraments. Sedevacantists are our brothers and sisters and need our prayers immensely. Please, do not let your distress lead you outside of the church. Pray for these our departed bretheren!

FAQs
Is this website against Vatican II?
Is this website against Vatican II?
No. We believe that Vatican II is a fully genuine ecumenical council and the 21st in long line spread across the millenia. The second vatican council actually produced many beautifully written documents which called for the preservation of Latin within the liturgy, continued use of Gregorian Chant during the liturgy, and a full adherence and embrace of tradition. It is our belief that the Consilium which came after Vatican II and started to introduce so many changes to the beloved liturgy. Many of these changes simply confused faithful Catholics, ignored the teachings of Vatican II, and led to many liturgical abuses in the practice of the Ordinary Form to this day.
Do you feel that the Latin Mass is holier than the Novus Ordo?
Do you feel that the Latin Mass is holier than the Novus Ordo?
No. This is a very common misconception about both this site and those who choose to attend the Extraordinary Form on a regular basis. Both the Novus Ordo (Post Vatican II Mass) and the Latin Mass are holy and sacred liturgies when properly done. Going to the Latin Mass does not automatically make you a better Catholic and neither does going to the Novus Ordo. Both rites are valid and approved by the church.
We are simply of the belief that the Latin Mass does a better job of directing the faithful in their worship of God and goes out of its way to show the utmost respect and honor to Our Lord really and truly present in the Eucharist. We believe that the Latin Mass does the best possible job of both showing and teaching the full truths of the Catholic Faith.
Why should I go to a Latin Mass?
Why should I go to a Latin Mass?
The Latin Mass is a beautiful and sacred liturgy most cherished by our Church which has been celebrated for the last two thousand years. The mystery of language highlights the heavenliness and mystery in which Christ is made present in the Eucharist. The incense, genuflections, psalms, antiphons, prayers, and signings all go out of their way to create the best sacrifice of the mass that we as Christians can offer in union to the priest up to God. Mass is not strictly for us or about us. It is not for our liking and moulding; this is why the mass can be celebrated without any lay people present. The mass is an offering up to God and the Latin Mass does the best job of highlighting this.
