One Old Testament story that children learn early and love much is Jonah and the Whale. The ancient city of Nineveh was religiously and morally corrupt and it was condemned to utter destruction with this ominous forewarning: “I shall not spare Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons that know not how to distinguish between their right hand and their left.”
What was said of ancient Nineveh can now be said of modernist Rome: they do not know their right hand from their left. The moral and religious corruption of modernist Rome has been evident for decades and their canonical incompetence has been most recently revealed in their dubious SSPX excommunications. Countless canonists who are not traditional Catholics have criticized and called into question the validity of the excommunications leveled against SSPX, especially regarding the laity who may adhere to SSPX.
In the face of canonical confusion, we offer the lay faithful this SSAT (Schismatic Self-Assessment Test):

TEST COMPLETE. Now add up your total schism points and record your SSAT score here _____ [Tell us your score in the comments!]
If you scored 0, you are schism free and no further action is required. If you scored up to 10, you may have schismatic behaviors which should be curtailed. If you scored above 10, you are an adherent to schism and you must contact your local bishop for additional assessment and remedial action. You will be required to renounce Catholicism, profess faith in the conciliar church and burn incense to synodality.
Folks, this canonical action of Rome against the Society of Saint Pius X is an absolute farce and fiasco. Rome has overplayed its hand, not knowing one hand from the other, and exposed its own incompetence.
The Last Word: Hey Rome, we support SSPX and adhere to their profession of faith and assessment of Vatican II errors! Please send us an official decree of our excommunication, care of Remnant Newspaper.
