Questions & Answers Vatican II, the Pope and SSPX by Most Rev. Donald J. Sanborn. Why it is wrong to assist at SSPX Masses — and seriously wrong.
1. What is wrong with the Second Vatican Council?
The Second Vatican Council taught doctrines which had been already condemned by the Church, and enacted disciplines which are contrary to the Church’s teaching and constant practice.
2. What doctrines did it teach which were already condemned?
There are four major errors: (1) concerning the unity of the Church; (2) concerning ecumenism; (3) concerning religious liberty; (4) concerning collegiality.
3. What false doctrine does it teach concerning the unity of the Church?
Vatican II teaches heresy concerning the unity of the Church, namely that the Church of Christ is not exclusively identified with the Catholic Church, but merely subsists in it. This heretical doctrine is contained principally in Lumen Gentium, and its heretical meaning is confirmed in statements of Paul VI and his successors, particularly in the 1983 Code of Canon Law, in the 1992 Statement concerning Church and Communion, and in the Ecumenical Directory.
It is contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church, contained principally in Satis Cognitum of Pope Leo XIII, Mortalium Animos of Pope Pius XI, Mystici Corporis of Pope Pius XII, and in the condemations of the “Branch Theory” made by the Holy Office under Pope Pius IX.
