A well-known priest of the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) has suggested that the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, may have entered a new phase of rupture with the Catholic Church following their recent open letter.

Writing anonymously, the priest told The Catholic Herald, “I very much doubt they will be trying to work with us[SSPX]. I think they have gone full sedevacantist. They used to be prior to their reconciliation in 2007”.

The SSPX priest also suggested that there is at least tacit sympathy or alignment between the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer and Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the excommunicated Italian traditionalist.
