Within an old-sspx article, they gave several reasons and principles they followed for 29-years warranting a -"red light"- on the entire congregations of the Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP): every priest, every aspect and function of their apostolate. Clearly stated within, the old-sspx condemns the new-sspx saying, do NOT to go to their masses!

Question 13
Since the introduction of the new sacramental rites, Rome had allowed no religious society or congregation exclusive use of the older rites. Then on June 30, 1988, Archbishop Lefebvre consecrated four bishops to ensure the survival of the traditional priesthood and sacraments, and especially of the traditional Latin Mass.
Suddenly, within two days, Pope John Paul II recognized (Ecclesia Dei Afflicta, July 2, 1988) the “rightful aspirations” (for these things) of those who wouldn’t support Archbishop Lefebvre’s stance, and offered to give to them what he had always refused the Archbishop. A dozen or so priests of the SSPX accepted this “good will” and broke away to found the Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP).
The Fraternity of St. Peter is founded upon more than questionable principles, for the following reasons:
1. It accepts that the Conciliar Church has the power:
2. In practice, the priests of the Fraternity, having recourse to a Novus Ordo bishop willing to permit the traditional rites and willing to ordain their candidates, they are forced to abandon the fight against the new religion which is being installed:
They are therefore Conciliar Catholics and not traditional Catholics. [True. And applies therefore in principle to the new-sspx.]
This being so, attending their Mass is:
That is why a Catholic ought not to attend their Masses. [Bering self-evidence; this also applies wholly to the new-sspx]

Question 13
What are we to think of the Fraternity of St. Peter?
Since the introduction of the new sacramental rites, Rome had allowed no religious society or congregation exclusive use of the older rites. Then on June 30, 1988, Archbishop Lefebvre consecrated four bishops to ensure the survival of the traditional priesthood and sacraments, and especially of the traditional Latin Mass.
Suddenly, within two days, Pope John Paul II recognized (Ecclesia Dei Afflicta, July 2, 1988) the “rightful aspirations” (for these things) of those who wouldn’t support Archbishop Lefebvre’s stance, and offered to give to them what he had always refused the Archbishop. A dozen or so priests of the SSPX accepted this “good will” and broke away to found the Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP).
The Fraternity of St. Peter is founded upon more than questionable principles, for the following reasons:
1. It accepts that the Conciliar Church has the power:
- to take away the Mass of all time (for the Novus Ordo Missae is not another form of this, question 5), [Ed. here the conciliar-sspx also accepts this principle submitting to the "Extraordinary" mass.]
- to grant it to those only who accept the same Conciliar Church’s novel orientations (in life, belief, structures), [ibid]
- to declare non-Catholic those who deny this by word or deed (An interpretation of "Everyone should be aware that formal adherence to the schism [of Archbishop Lefebvre] is a grave offense against God and carries the penalty of excommunication." Ecclesia Dei Afflicata), and, [ibid, to wit, the neo-sspx calls its opposition within the Catholic Resistance as "non-Catholic" for not accepting their own modern updating.]
- to professes itself in a certain way in communion with anyone calling himself “Christian,” and yet to declare itself out of communion with Catholics whose sole crime is wanting to remain Catholic (Vatican II, e.g., Lumen Gentium, §15; Unitatis Redintegratio §3). [ibid, the conciliar-sspx joins itself in the that idea being a part of the whole of the conciliar church.]
2. In practice, the priests of the Fraternity, having recourse to a Novus Ordo bishop willing to permit the traditional rites and willing to ordain their candidates, they are forced to abandon the fight against the new religion which is being installed:
- they reject the Novus Ordo Missae only because it is not their “spirituality” and claim the traditional Latin Mass only in virtue of
their “charism” acknowledged them by the pope, [ibid, the new-sspx submission of priestly candidates to the diocese, and submission of its sacrament of marriages to the dioceses.] - they seek to ingratiate themselves with the local bishops, praising them for the least sign of Catholic spirit and keeping quiet on their modernist deviations (unless perhaps it is a question of a diocese where they have no hopes of starting up), even though by doing so they end up encouraging them along their wrong path, and [See the new websites of the conciliar-sspx for the SAME endorsement.]
- note, for example, the Fraternity’s whole-hearted acceptance of the (New) Catechism of the Catholic Church (question 14), acceptance of Novus Ordo professors in their seminaries, and blanket acceptance of Vatican II’s orthodoxy (question 6). [ifid, See Bishop Fellay's 2012 Doctrinal Declaration accepting all of the above...and more.]
They are therefore Conciliar Catholics and not traditional Catholics. [True. And applies therefore in principle to the new-sspx.]
This being so, attending their Mass is:
- accepting the compromise on which they are based,
- accepting the direction taken by the Conciliar Church and the
consequent destruction of the Catholic Faith and practices, and - accepting, in particular, the lawfulness and doctrinal soundness of the Novus Ordo Missae and Vatican II.
That is why a Catholic ought not to attend their Masses. [Bering self-evidence; this also applies wholly to the new-sspx]
