But there is always the possibility that the sinner who is sincere and contrite and makes a thorough examination of conscience and confession can be saved. The SSPX states the traditional position. Although earlier in his life the Nazi was certainly a manifest sinner, apparently he did not commit the unforgivable sin of final impenitence (”blasphemy of the Holy Ghost”).

True -- however, I wonder about if this is true as well:

In the 'testimony' which Priebke arranged to be published after his death, he expressed no regret for any of his actions in war

If so, and he did not recant the willful murder he committed for a neo-pagan cause, then he did not make a sincere Confession.

The only unforgiveable sin in the eyes of the Catholic church is becoming a Protestant.

It sure doesn't seem that any other sin, no matter how abominable or heinous or depraved, stops them as much as a person converting to Protestantism.

But supporting the murder of millions is OK. So I assume that if an abortionist in the U.S. died the the SSPX would jump at the chance to provide them a funeral?
