-'The Problem with the SSPX', p9

On Archbishop Conti, the Glasgow priest who says the Traditional Mass in that diocese went on his summer holiday without arranging any 'cover': the Masses simply ceased for several weeks. When asked whether the faithful could attend Masses said by SSPX priests, Conti replied that this would not fulfill their Sunday obligation ('your attendance would not be licit'): directly contradicting the published ruling of the Ecclesia Dei Commission, which was set up to deal with questions relating to the Traditional Mass.

Conti's disregard for the facts, and the good of Catholics attached to the Traditional Mass, is astonishing. Catholic Truth Scotland uses the same issue to point out some of the 'problems' of the SSPX.
