I agree. Originally favorable on SSPX, I am soured a little due to personal experience. I respect their strictness on the liturgy but they are too strict in other ways. Other people have complained about the rules, rules, rules, but my bad experience had to do with an SSPX priest accusing me of lying to him during confession, when I was doing no such thing. And permanently denied me Communion over the same matter (I was NOT “guilty” of what he was saying in any way, shape or form). I appreciate that God sees the true situation, but that doesn’t help me with the SSPX. So it’s a diocesan Latin Mass for me (if they are ever offered again).
Sorry. I don’t believe your tale.
SSPX is weird. Keep in mind they reject Vatican II, they reject the very important Nostra Aetate, and they are anti-semetic. Many SSPX laity are nice people seeking orthodoxy, they don’t realize the organization is extremist ritualists.
