This was the choice made by the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), a worldwide society of priests best known for its strong opposition to the post-conciliar reform of the Mass… Most of the faithful Catholics who saw this happening fought hard for a “reform of the reform.” Sadly, others decided that the only way forward was to work outside of - and sometimes against - the hierarchical Church and its structures. Making his way to the SSPX, Bishop Morlino continues: Indeed, this is true enough, but what Bishop Morlino leaves unsaid is that among those who have so exploited the Council (not only liturgically, but otherwise as well) is every pope who has reigned ever since a point that will prove noteworthy later. In other words, a Church that bears little resemblance to the Holy Catholic Church. Forces both inside and outside of the Church tried to distort and exploit the council and the post-conciliar liturgical reforms to create a new Church after their own image. The 50 years since the close of the Second Vatican Council have been tumultuous for the Church.
