FSSPX Distances Itself from Monsignor Viganó

The Priestly Society of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) issued a statement on 21 June distancing itself from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò.

In his recent public defence, Viganò compared himself to Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the founder of the FSSPX.

But the FSSPX objects that there is a crucial difference between them: "In his text, Archbishop Viganò makes a clear declaration of sedevacantism. In other words, according to him, Pope Francis is not a pope".

But: "On this point, neither Archbishop Lefebvre nor the fraternity he founded would agree."

On the other hand, as bad as it was when Mgr Lefebvre rebelled [and Viganó was a happy employee of the Holy See], what is happening now in the Church is at least ten times worse, and the shockwave that Mgr Lefebvre created was much greater than the one that Monsignor Viganó is causing today.

LOL! That's like a soot-covered pot calling the soot-covered kettle "black."

The Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) has released a statement criticizing Archbishop Carla Maria Vigano—who has been charged by the Vatican with schism—and said that Archbishop Vigano’s stand is difficult from that of the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the SSPX founder.

This was from yesterday.

Is there a difference between “a pope” and the pope? Sounds like a JW stating the Word in St John’s Gospel - “the word was a god …. and dwelt among us”

A careful reading would show that the distance is not very far.

I would say probably 95% of SSPX are of the opinion that the seat is vacant....in all honesty. I have no idea who made this statement, but my SSPX priest is on Vigano's side.

It is well known that this group of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) betrayed Archbishop Lefebvre in 2012, and that is why there are currently independent priests who have come out of this group and who fight against them because, instead of fighting against the modernist heresy, they tolerate heretical ideas contrary to the Catholic faith.

It is well known that this group of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) betrayed Archbishop Lefebvre in 2012, and that is why there are currently independent priests who have come out of this group and who fight against them because, instead of fighting against the modernist heresy, they tolerate heretical ideas contrary to the Catholic faith. The priests who have become independent accept all the popes of Vatican II but doubt the legitimacy of Bergoglio. All of them are, like Vigano, conditionally ordained. Archbishop Lefebvre himself would not recognize these modernists of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). Among them there is a lust for power rather than zeal for the truth. In fact, this group accepts that Bergoglio violates mainly the First and Second Commandments along with all the others as long as they are recognized by Bergoglio as valid. They have sold themselves to the kingdom of the antichrist and together with Bergoglio they have preferred to betray Christ and the Church.

Disgusting, but not surprising: the false prophet has had his marionettes within the SSPX all along and he made sure they will obey before making his move against Vigano. Those who think that the Remnant Church will be built on SSPX are dead wrong.

Bergoglio spreads Gender Ideology, calls homosexual prostitutes transvestites Girls, and perverts young people in complicity with the anti-Catholic industry of Disney by making a Pro Gay documentary where he maliciously attacks the laws of God and the Church and deceives a girl "who believes herself to be some days men and other days women" BINARY' that the Christian faithful who try to correct her …More

And the Fraternity prefers to persecute Vigano.

Why not? They’ve already distanced themselves from Lefebvre, and you can’t very well go begging for a deal with modernist Tome if you’re cozying up next to their primary critic (and please note that the SSPX is no longer the primary critic).

Sadly, they are correct. 😐

Vigano was not allowed to portray Bergoglio as someone who had committed sexual abuse! If the SSPX had appealed to this, I would understand that. But this one Pope worshiped an idol and is consciously overriding traditional and biblical sexual morality little by little. Anyone who, urged by their conscience, denies the papal office to this one pope out of concern for the salvation of souls does not …More

But this one Pope worshiped an idol and is consciously overriding traditional and biblical sexual morality little by little. Anyone who, urged by their conscience, denies the papal office to this one pope out of concern for the salvation of souls does not belong to the group of sedevacantists. The SSPX makes it very, very easy for itself with the term “Sedevacantism”.
Sean Johnson
Or stated differently: Lefebvre acknowledged that one day we might be obliged to believe these men are not popes. Vigano, 38 years later, is simply applying Lefebvre’s concession. Thats no contradiction.
