I have met personally and briefly conversed, through translation, as I speak neither Spanish nor French, with Bishop de Galaretta, who is everything a Bishop of the Church one would expect and should be. I was able to hear not only a solemn Mass by +de Galaretta, but also the surprise blessing of hearing and communicating at his private Mass a few years ago. Absolutely lovely.
I have also had the pleasure of meeting now-Bishop Poinsinet de Sivry. That’s a funny story for the Barnhardt Memoirs. He’s absolutely lovely, as one would expect.
I don’t regularly assist at SSPX Masses. But I have when in an SSPX “zone”.
I would, WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST HESITATION, assist, Communicate, be confessed, or, hypothetically, be witnessed in marriage , hypothetically, by any SSPX priest OR ANY OF THE SIX BISHOPS.
Without the slightest hesitation.
In fact, I’m now seeking the opportunity to make pilgrimage to an SSPX Mass, and yes, I will absolutely avail myself of the opportunity to be shriven, when I do.
I use the term “hypothetically” only with regards to matrimony myself personally, only because I doubt that matrimony is in the Divine Providence for myself. For anyone else, yes, absolutely go to the SSPX to witness Matrimonial Vows. No question. No hesitation.
If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend Fr. Z’s précis of the Canonical argument (that we also intersected on Barnhardt Podcast #257) that these utterly bullsh** faggot aspostate faux- excommunications are, also, because God is so good and loving, TOTALLY canonically invalid, even if one were to hold the erroneous position that Antipope PERVost, much less “Touchme with your mouth, little boy” Fagnandez, held even a nanoparticle of authority in Our Lord’s Church, which they don’t. But just saying, hypothetically.
Multiple vectors of confirmation.
Consilience.
It’s an open book test.
Which they OBVIOUSLY don’t. And beware any grifter who tells you that you have zero personal agency to determine that, or that you’re manifesting some perverted pseudo-virtue if you refuse to take a position or stand. These people, to the man, are financially dependent upon the perceived “good graces” of the Antichurch and Antipope. Let us pray that one and all of these people be cast headfirst into the gutter of extreme material poverty, if it will help give them clarity of mind.
Also myself, for that matter, if it be medicinal, and should it be what I need to be saved. Lord, I am ready. ANYTHING for You. ANYTHING to be saved, and see You. ANYTHING.
Shall I give the greatest defense and admonition to personal agency ever given?
Luke 7: 28-23
And John’s disciples told Him of all these things. 19 And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou He that art to come; or look we for another? 20 And when the men were come unto Him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to Thee, saying: Art Thou He that art to come; or look we for another?
21 (And in that same hour, He cured many of their diseases, and hurts, and evil spirits: and to many that were blind He gave sight.) 22 And answering, He said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached: 23 And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in Me.
Folks, you don’t have to be absolved from Original Sin in the womb, the Greatest Man Born of Woman, to know who’s who and what’s up in the ARSH 2026.
Just as the disciples of John the Baptist, use your eyes, ears, and mental faculties.
To be a Catholic isn’t to be a drooling retarded orc. It’s exactly the opposite. Use your brain, informed by Holy Scripture, Holy Tradition, and the immutable Magisterium, which all makes perfect logical sense AND is completely internally consistent with itself.
As always, I truly hope that this helps, at least one person. Be not afraid.
