The Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X has acknowledged the N.O. Mass as valid. It is the abuses that must be fought, not the legitimate celebration of the Sacrifice at Calvary. If the form, matter and intent of a validly consecrated priest is present, the Miracle of the Eucharist takes place, regardless of which of the over 20 Rites are used.

For those who claim the SSPX is schismatic, let me quote from Cardinal Castrillon:

"... based on the fact that your Fraternity certainly was not spreading any heretical doctrine and did not maintain schismatic attitudes,..."

Gee, isn't that Catholic of him. I didn't know he was the Pope and Magisterium rolled into one! ;^)

The SSPX teaches one does not fulfill their Sunday obligation by hearing a normative Mass.

Lefebvre and the others listed in Ecclesia Dei were/are schismatic. Your defense of them is odd.

They specialise in opposing the Pope. They exercise ministry absent Jurisdiction. Their marriages and confessions are invalid.

They have set-up their own Magisterium, their own Canon Law rules and they undertake to issue annulments etc. You may buy their duplicitous lies but few real Catholics do.

You keep citing a source that is from an appeal for reunion. It will NEVER happen while Williamson is alive. Frankly, I think the SSPX is engaged in an enprmous dog and pony shopw and they have NO intention of reuniting unless the Pope accepts THEIR demands.

Despite what they say publicly, they think they are the Remnant and Rome must capitualte to them.
