After all, as has been discussed many times before in this space, this is their right.Ĭanon 844.2 is of direct relevance here, as it provides us with direction in those cases when it is impossible to receive the sacraments from a Catholic cleric. But if the Catholic clergy are illegally preventing them from doing so, as discussed in “ Do Bishops Have the Authority to Cancel Masses Completely?” and “ Can Priests Cancel Masses, and Say a Private Mass Instead?” it’s equally reasonable that Catholics begin looking for other places where they can find a valid Mass and valid sacraments. It only stands to reason that practicing Catholics want to attend Mass and receive the sacraments on a regular basis.

Am I permitted to attend Mass? –SpencerĪ: Brooke and Spencer weren’t the only ones to submit queries like these in recent weeks, not by a long shot! As we Catholics know full well, these sorts of questions would probably not be raised at all, but for the mind-boggling spiritual situation that Catholics in huge portions of the globe currently find themselves in. The only liturgy left is a Sedevacantist church. Mass/Divine liturgy in my area has shut down.
Every diocesan, Eastern Rite, Ordinariate, Orthodox, SSPX, etc. Does canon 844.2 apply to Sedevacantist chapels and churches? I understand I have no obligation to attend Mass but out of devotional reasons I would like to attend. Our pastors and our Archbishop have turned a deaf ear to our pleas that they utilize similar creative ways within the law to feed the flock, nor are they commenting upon any time at which they might allow the laity to return to Mass. The SSPX priests are complying completely with the state law, yet are being creative enough to meet the needs of their flock at the same time. Q1: In these trying times when our Archbishop is denying the sacraments to the faithful, what do you think of attending Mass at the nearby SSPX church? It’s my understanding that currently all their sacraments excepting marriage are licit.
