US Archbishop Calls Attending FSSPX Masses "Sinful"

Catholics may not knowingly take part in the liturgical celebrations, apostolates, or other activities of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, Archbishop Shawn McKnight of Kansas City, Kansas, wrote in a July 2 statement following the episcopal consecrations.
McKnight noted that the SSPX's ministry "is not legitimate in the life of the Church" and that "the sacraments of Penance and Matrimony administered by them are now invalid."
Participation in the worship of the "schismatic" community fosters separation from the Church's communion, he added: "Such participation is not merely discouraged but is gravely contrary to the unity of the Church and, when undertaken with full knowledge and deliberate consent, is sinful."

He's undoing his predecessor's [Archbishop Naumann - a "foe" of Francis] wise, pastoral advice who decreed that anyone could attend services at the Immaculata (the huge, new SSPX church in St. Mary's KS See: The Immaculata Church Project) if they did so "for reasons of personal piety" not rebellion. I traveled there and received the sacraments. It's truly a wonder!!!

He has no jurisdiction over them.

Sally Dorman shares this

If you want to receive Holy Communion while happily living in sin with your partner, that’s not a problem for the Vatican, as long as it’s not at an SSPX Mass…."

Listening to this blathering idiot can be sinful.

He was a Priest with the FSSP until he got the boot.

I have no apostolates near me but I will give a donation to help their good works.

Isaiah 5:20-25
Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
Mocking the priesthood and canonizations is not a 'sin' for these unrepentant apostates who promote sodomy. Saint Paul points out in Romans 1 that the vice of homosexuality perverts the mind.

Matthew 7:15-16 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

They don't know what sin is just ask James Martin

The bishops being appointed now (like this one, who was born in 1968), they have literally have never been Catholic, or even heard of it except as some old mistake that was rectified around 1970.

This ignorant bishops doesn’t even know what then leaders of his own misguided religion is professing. Is there really any wonder why the Church is in such disarray?
