Buncrana parish priest issues warning over ‘poisonous’ religious sect
Published By admin with Comments 0
An Inishowen Catholic priest is warning parishioners to beware of a “dangerous and poisonous” Christian extremist group, which is actively attempting to recruit here in the Diocese of Derry.
Buncrana parish priest Fr Francis Bradley says the SSPX Resistance sect is a “hate-filled group” that “is rotten to the core” – and he’s strongly urging the local faithful to steer well clear.
The SSPX Resistance is a splinter organisation which receives support from far-right elements, and its Holocaust-denier founder was twice excommunicated by the Vatican.
The group has begun operating in the Derry diocese, leading Bishop Dr Donal McKeown to issue a statement in which he has urged Catholics not to engage with their “illicit” Sacraments.
Bishop McKeown says there can be “no legitimate reason to seek out Mass or Sacraments from SSPX Resistance Ireland” – and his message is strongly echoed by Fr Bradley.
Fr Bradley says SSPX Resistance [Society of Saint Pius X] gives the veneer of true Catholicism, but “it is nothing of the sort.”
“They are a poison. They are dangerous. They masquerade as something they are not. They dress it up as something good for you but people should steer clear of what could become an onslaught on their souls.”
