Summary
Many are (rightfully so) frustrated with the lack of reverence and adherence to doctrine at some Catholic Masses today. However, is SSPX (Society of St. Pius X) founded by Archbishop Lefebvre the answer? Can a Catholic validly attend one of their Masses or receive their sacraments? Are they in schism or not? Hear Fr. Chris Alar explain this as well as other Ecclesiae Dei communities such as Fraternal Society of St. Peter (FSSP) and the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP)

| 1:03.8 | personal opinion on this. And so we hope that you'll be open to hear what we have to say because it really is what the church has to say. |
