What continues to be missed among most who feel the need to give their own personal commentary about the SSPX’s decision to consecrate four bishops without papal permission is that it is NOT about the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). It’s about the revolution that occurred at Vatican II and the need to preserve what came before it.

And after almost thirteen years of criticizing Francis, the Trad Inc. social media commentators have decided to lay down their arms and tell their followers that the fight is over, just go to your local TLM (or even Novus Ordo) and be obedient because Cardinal Fernandez, a man no one could honestly confuse with a real Catholic, issued a decree of “excommunication.”

Do these men who gained the trust and support of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of traditionalist leaning Catholics over the years really not understand what drives the SSPX and need to consecrate new bishops? Taylor Marshall did, and now he doesn’t?

Do these guys really not understand what the crisis in the Church is? Do they think the crisis in the Church is not being able to attend a TLM whenever you want? Is that it? Eric Sammons runs a magazine called Crisis, but what crisis is he worried about?

Do these “experts” in theology actually think the SSPX is trying to establish a new Church by consecrating a few bishops who travel the world offering sacraments? Is Timothy Gordon, an influencer known for his anti-feminist positions, really worried more about a few new bishops, while the man he offers obedience to appoints a divorced lay woman to run a Vatican dicastery? Who is really constructing a parallel Church?

After many commentators supported Archbishop Lefebvre’s efforts in 1988, they now feel things are so much better that it is beyond the pale of decency that the Society should try to preserve itself and its mission, which is nothing more than preserving the Catholic faith as it always existed for almost 2000 years before Vatican II?

What the hell is wrong with these people?

I decided to make a short video explaining the revolution that occurred at Vatican II, because many of these commentators still do not understand it—and, more importantly, many Catholics are now hearing about the SSPX for the first time. We need to dispel this notion that the SSPX rejects the Church or is schismatic.

The only reason the Vatican feels the need to actually come down hard on the SSPX as opposed to absolutely every other evil imaginable in the world today is because the SSPX threatens their entire worldview and mission.

To be sure, it is not really the Society itself, but what it stands for—Tradition. Tradition is the Truth, the Truth, which is Christ Himself. The Modernists’ goal and mission is contrary to the Truth and the Church, which is why they infiltrated Vatican II and hijacked it to use for their own purposes.

Please check out my video where I give a basic, layman’s overview of why we are in a state of necessity that justified the SSPX’s actions and why every Catholic MUST support the SSPX at this critical time in Church history.
