53 R.I in VI In application, if a Catholic may receive the Eucharist from a minister who is not in communion with the Church (greater), one could receive "irregular" minister (less).' Furthermore, Article 2 of Pope Benedict XVI's motu proprio Summorum Pontificum states that without people present, a priest can say a Tridentine Mass according to the 1962 Missal without the permission of the Apostolic See or his own Bishop. (He who may do the greater may do the less.) Reg. As far as receiving the Eucharist from priests of the SSPX, we can refer to the venerable Regulae iuris (Rule of Law) of Boniface VIII: Cui licet quod est plus, licet utique quod est minus.
Furthermore, Pope Francis has extended indefinitely the Year of Mercy mandate that allows Society priests to hear the confessions of and grant absolution to all Catholics. Pius X (SSPX) surely has valid sacraments and is within the Catholic Church, albeit in a canonically irregular status.

However, canon 844 § 2 of the current code of canon law states: " Whenever necessity requires it or true spiritual advantage suggests it, and provided that danger of error or of indifferentism is avoided, the Christian faithful for whom it is physically or morally impossible to approach a Catholic minister are permitted to receive the sacraments of penance, Eucharist, and anointing of the sick from non-Catholic ministers in whose Churches these sacraments are valid." In light of canon 844 the same canon lawyer who had previously stated that "priests of the SSPX do not administer any of the sacraments licitly" later stated in April 2020-during the shutdown of many Catholic parishes during the Covid-19 pandemic-in an article entitled "Can I Attend an SSPX Church, Since My Parish is Closed?" that "Catholics can now approach SSPX clergy and receive all three of the sacraments mentioned in canon 844.2: penance, the Eucharist, and the anointing of the sick."Ĭommenting on this section of canon law an associate member of the Canon Law Society of America stated: ' The Society of St. Their sacramental ministry is illicit, or illegal.
priests of the SSPX do not administer any of the sacraments licitly to the people who approach them. The power to consecrate the Sacred Species can never be taken away from a priest by anyone on earth! Logically, then, the Hosts which are consecrated at an SSPX Mass are truly the Body of Christ-so anybody who receives Holy Communion at such a Mass does so validly." Although in fairness this same canon lawyer stated the following: " with the rare exception of absolution in danger of death. As one canon lawyer put it: " Therefore, even when a priest says Mass against the wishes of the diocesan bishop in whose territory he is, the Mass is valid, as the Eucharistic sacrifice really does take place. A validly ordained priest always possesses the power to consecrate the Eucharist, and thus to celebrate a valid Mass. The list would be incomplete if we were to exclude the Masses provided by the SSPX and so-called independent priests. However the purpose of this TLM list is to provide Catholics with information on where they can find Traditional Latin Masses in southern California. Some have questioned our decision to list Traditional Latin Masses (TLMs) administered by the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) and other priests that do not operate under the control and approval of the local diocese or its bishop.
