Primary Sources for Studying the Crisis in the SSPX 2012

This document (Primary Sources for Studying the SSPX Crisis) is being utilized more often lately because of the SSPX marriage debacle from a few months ago to the horrible error contained in Fr. Paul Robinson's book that promotes evolution.

There are a lot of people in the SSPX who are finally giving pause to consider if the SSPX is truly leading them rightly. I know I myself as well as others have recently been asked about these issue and this document has been of great help in showing the current SSPX laity where this all started.

One of the important aspects about this document is that these are truly primary sources. These are SSPX publications, declarations, and interviews. These are not opinion pieces or editorials. These are directly from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

As a help and a reminder, here is the table of contents list for this great document:
