SSPX IS ILLIGITIMATE DESPITE THE REMOVAL OF EXCOMMUNCATIONS ON THEIR 4 BISHOPS!

Pope Benedict XVI giving blessings to the people

"The remission of the excommunication was a measure taken in the field of ecclesiastical discipline: the individuals were freed from the burden of conscience constituted by the most serious of ecclesiastical penalties. This disciplinary level needs to be distinguished from the doctrinal level. The fact that the Society... of Saint Pius X does not possess a canonical status in the Church is not, in the end, based on disciplinary but on doctrinal reasons. As long as the Society does not have a canonical status in the Church, its ministers DO NOT EXERCISE LEGITIMATE MINISTRIES IN THE CHURCH."
