Conservative English Bishop: FSSPX Mass Does Not Ordinarily Fulfil Sunday Obligation
Bishop Philip Egan of Portsmouth, England, has warned Catholics that they cannot ordinarily fulfil their Sunday obligation by attending Mass celebrated by priests of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X.
He is one of the most conservative voices in the English hierarchy.
Monsignor Egan told TheCatholicHerald.com on March 11 that recent popes reached out to members of the FSSPX: “As the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X is in an irregular or impaired situation with the Roman Catholic Church at the moment, its priests do not have the explicit faculties from the Ordinary to celebrate the Mass,” he believes.
Bishop Egan referred to Canon 1248 §1, which states that the Sunday obligation is fulfilled when a Catholic attends "a Mass celebrated anywhere in a Catholic rite.”
In 2019, Bishop Egan visited St Michael’s School in Burghclere, an institution run by the FSSPX. He also has sent the FSSPX in his diocese oil from the Chrism Mass in the Novus Ordo in order to build closer bonds of communion. …More

I wonder what they did with this cuckoo's egg. Does anybody know?
So, dear bishop, going to a clown themed Novus Ordo service fulfills the obligation but going to the real Mass doesn't ? Pardon me if I totally ignore your horrible, non-Catholic advice.
The Novus Ordo is not a Catholic rite. It is forbidden by infallible decree of Pope St Pius V. The bishop is in ERROR…
These bishops have caved in to protect their own earthly well-being - and have become Leo's controlled opposition - they have become hierarchy in the Synodal false church. So sad!!
Prevost cunningly uses the most conservative and orthodox bishops to attack SSPX, while openly decadent and heterodox "bishops" stay quiet. As world wars escalate so do Church wars.
