They are strict about dress code and headcoverings.
My personal experience, and this might be based strictly on the specific chapels which I have attended, is that I have found the SSPV chapel to be much more friendly and welcoming. Pray on it! God bless you in your decision. The parish where you are most confident in the leadership and in which you feel most sure that you will achieve sanctity is probably where you should be. So that was probably no help at all! I suppose I would say you would have to try each chapel for your own self, and come to a decision for yourself of which "Church crisis" position and atmosphere is best for you and your family, and which follows your conscience best. They are not perfect, but they do good work. Most of my most edifying experiences have been connected to the SSPX. That being said, some of the best people I know go to the SSPX, and some of the holiest priests are of that order.
It makes sense considering the difficult stance that the SSPX holds, but it can be really draining on me. My experience with them is that they can often become very politically charged, which can be stressful. I think it depends too on who you choose to socialize with. However, because I am not a sede, my experience is pretty limited (SSPV I have only corresponded with, CMRI I have been to a few times and met several of the priests and sisters).īased on my experience with SSPX chapels, I think they vary a lot. I have found both the SSPV and the CMRI to be pretty welcoming, personally, even though I am not a sedevacantist. I have a number of the conferences on CD given by their Mother General and they are holy, reverent, funny, and all-around wonderful resources for me. I was in correspondence for a bit with the sisters, and I can tell you that from what I know and have heard from them they seem really wonderful. I have never been to an SSPV chapel, however at one time I was seriously considering visiting their convent.
