The Society of St. Pius X is an international
priestly society of common life without vows, whose purpose is the priesthood
and that which pertains to it.
The SSPX was patterned by its founder, Archbishop
Marcel Lefebvre, after the religious societies of foreign missions.
The spirit of the SSPX is essentially apostolic,
because such is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and because the members of the
Society will have in general to exercise an exterior ministry. |
