It seems to me that thinking, “I really dislike Card. ![]() People shouldn’t go to these or any other chapel if their Faith and their unity with their proper pastors is being undermined. No, you don’t need to be in a situation where you can’t get to another Mass at a recognized church or chapel. Yes, you can fulfill your obligation at an SSPX chapel. ![]() The letters often hedged saying that the PCED wouldn’t recommend Communion at the chapel, but that language doesn’t forbid Communion either! 1248 §1) fulfill their obligation, and that they could also contribute, out of justice, to the collection. It was always the position of the PCED that people could attend Masses at the chapels of the SSPX, that people would on a vigil of or day of a holyday of obligation ( e.g., all Sundays – can.
