A Modest Proposal, a Mourned Friend, and the SSPX Question
The Friday Pillar Post from May 29, 2026, published by The Pillar portal, offers a personal reflection on the passing of an elderly friend, a roundup of ecclesiastical news, and a canonical “thought experiment” regarding the Society of St. Pius X’s (SSPX) planned episcopal consecrations. While the personal anecdote is touching, the article’s core lies in its engagement with the conciliar sect’s internal politics, particularly the ongoing saga of the SSPX and the “Pope’s” authority. The article’s treatment of these matters, even when attempting to be “modest” or “creative,” remains firmly within the bounds of the post-conciliar paradigm, failing to recognize the fundamental illegitimacy of the entire edifice it seeks to manage or reform.
