Submission

 

Orthodox bad boy Jay Dyer calls out the SSPX (or as he jokingly calls them: Ssss-pksss), who were recently excommunicated from the Catholic Church. The SSPX faithful presumably want the Orthodox to submit to Rome, but they don´t seem willing to submit themselves...

Dyer was a supporter of the SSPX for a number of years and his video contains some funny gossip about the society. Are we to believe Dyer, the SSPX is teeming with crypto-Nazis, barely closeted homosexuals and kooks in general. At one point, our man emphasizes that no gay priest ever touched his butt?! Alcoholism is another rampant problem. One SSPX priest had a private collection of German Nazi memorabilia which he treated in an almost sacramental manner. He also believes that the society is theologically heterodox compared to mainstream conservative Catholicism, perhaps in a Jansenist and Gallican direction.  

His main argument against the Society of Saint Pius X, however, is their refusal to consistently obey the papacy. Dyer argues at length that according to both Catholic theology and canon law, Catholics are duty bound to follow "the First See" at Rome *on all issues*. Yet, the SSPX picks and chooses which decisions of Rome they will follow, and hence acts exactly like the "modernists" they are condemning! 

This is something I noticed, too. The SSPX do next level "lawyering" in order to stay inside the Catholic Church. For instance, they pretend to recognize the Second Vatican Council, but argue that its decisions aren´t binding (cuz reasons blah blah).

In case you are interested in this latest occasion for scandal...
