A NEW SUPERIOR FOR IRELAND

As of 18 September 2010 Father Paul Morgan is the new superior of the Society of St. Pius X for both Ireland and Britain, with residence in London. The website of Britain is www.sspx.co.uk

 

NOTE CONCERNING MEMBERSHIP IN THE SSPX

The Society of St. Pius X in Ireland is a Catholic priestly institute with a priestly apostolate, defined in its canonically approved constitutions as a "society of common life without vows." The only members of the Society in Ireland are the priests incardinated in the Society and living in the three residences of the Society, and one professed religious brother.

The faithful attending our churches and chapels are not members of the Society, neither are the priests and religious from other dioceses, orders, congregations, or institutes who may collaborate eventually in our apostolate. The Society is not responsible for their actions, writings, or declarations, and none of them speaks for or represents the Society. Similarly, nobody can speak for or represent the faithful attending our chapels.

The General superior and the District superior are responsible only for their priests, and they exercise their authority exclusively over them and over their apostolate in Ireland. The superiors of the Society are not the "superiors of the faithful", they are the ecclesiastical superiors of the priests.

The Society in Ireland is not affiliated with any organization or publication, religious, educational, cultural, or political, and it does not endorse directly or indirectly any religious, educational, cultural, or political association.

Any contrary claim by individuals or associations is a fraudulent one.

 

NOTE CONCERNING COLLECTIONS AND PRINTED MATERIAL
 

All collections of money and the distribution of printed material in the churches, chapels, and mass centres of the Society of St. Pius X in Ireland are subject to the superior's previous written permission.

The only printed material authorized to be distributed in our chapels is the St. John's Bulletin and the Crusaders and Handmaids monthly bulletins. No other publication can be distributed on our property.

 

The principal purpose of this notice is to make the faithful aware that any other eventual requests for funds and distribution of other printed material are not authorized or sponsored by the Society.
