![]() Be prepared to move on to Step 4 quickly. ![]() Modernist Rome will not comply but by this point, they will be feeling some heat. Purchase, build, or rent a cathedral somewhere in or near the city of Rome and announce intentions to elect a traditional Roman bishop unless modernist Rome acknowledges the authority of the synod from Step 2. The SSPX bishops really don’t have to go much further than the pope and a few prominent members of his cabinet before moving on to step three. What’s required? Not as much as one might think. Remember, this is a results-oriented plan. Get real, the modernists are not about to depose themselves and yet somebody has to do it. In fact, the R &R traditionalists have been waiting for the modernist bishops to depose themselves for more than four decades. Rationale: The SSPX / Recognize & Resist (R & R) side of traditionalism insists this step must be done and they relentlessly rebuke their traditionalist rivals (the Sedevacantists) for skipping it. Again, make sure these actions get as much media attention as possible. Not a lot of time should be wasted here since the modernists are well aware of their contradictions and heresies, so this step is just a formality. Invite a small selection of modernist bishops to the synod just to make it seem fair. The SSPX should call a council and create a tribunal for the sole purpose of issuing warnings, suspensions, depositions, and excommunications to the modernist heretics one by one beginning with the pope. This step requires just two bishops to consecrate a new bishop in a single ceremony. To this point, Rome has been able to handle three or four SSPX bishops easily but the game will change when they are confronted with one hundred united traditional bishops at once. Rationale: Modernist Rome made a mistake by officially recognizing the validity of the SSPX bishops and carrying on negotiations with them. Invite the press to every single consecration. In a year’s time there should be one hundred new SSPX bishops governing territories around the world. Let the SSPX become a consecration factory and pump out as many new miters as possible. The very first step for the SSPX is to make bishops. My conviction is that if the SSPX really intended to fix the Church, it could probably do it in just seven steps and in one year or less. Because actions speak louder than words, I wrote these seven steps in a results-oriented frame of mind. After all, the SSPX does consider itself as the guardian of the "true" Catholic faith. That's why I believe a serious attempt to fix the Church is long overdue and I can think of no better organization to handle the task than the Society. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for thousands of traditional Catholics who remain stuck in contradictory positions. On a personal note, I don’t have a stake in the outcome of the ongoing soap opera between the SSPX and modernist Rome. Whether one loves or hates the Society, no one can deny that it has failed to fix the Church over its 40+-year history. I also think it's time for SSPX defenders and sympathizers to start holding their leaders accountable. At this late stage of the game, anything less is unacceptable. After four decades of rosary crusades, contradictions, doublespeak, hypocrisy, and sucking up to the modernists in Rome, it's time for the SSPX bishops to exercise the authority that is supposed to come with the office and impose their wills on the men whom they believe have been destroying their Church for the past fifty years. My approach is simple: if the SSPX is for real, let it prove itself. While I could write an article outlining the ways this organization fits the bill, my intention here is not to try to convince anyone of that position, but only to lay out a plan of action that if executed, might even convince me that I've been wrong about the SSPX all along. Included among these Catholics are even some notorious names from the Sedevacantist crowd. ![]() Many traditional Catholics reject the idea that the Soceity of Saint Pius X or SSPX could be a controlled (false) opposition.
