7.3. What about the FSSP, ICKSP, and diocesan Traditional Latin Masses? Aren’t these fully approved and safe?

These groups are even more dangerous spiritually because they:

  • Fully accept the legitimacy of Vatican II and the New Mass.

  • Operate under bishops consecrated in the doubtful 1968 rite of Holy Orders.

  • Exist by permission of a hierarchy that promotes modernist theology and liturgical abuse.

While the liturgy may appear traditional, the underlying theology and ecclesiology are not. By accepting Vatican II and remaining fully united to its post-conciliar hierarchy, these groups implicitly accept the doctrinal errors Vatican II introduced. This includes religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality, and the rejection of the Social Kingship of Christ—errors solemnly condemned by the pre-Vatican II Magisterium.

Thus, even with a beautiful liturgy, these groups function as gateways into the Novus Ordo Church, encouraging faithful Catholics to believe they can have tradition without rejecting the revolution. In doing so, they normalize compromise and endanger souls by leading them to trust a system that has abandoned the true Catholic Faith.
