IOC Movement of Sabah Sarawak Borneo-Catholic will confirm today that the past Official Document of ours are still intact even after this Virtual Organization has changed her Official name:
"IOC Movement response regarding Holy Mass celebrates by SSPX"
However, we would like to remind all of the Catholic faithful under care of this Virtual Organization and in the whole Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei to exercise piety such like praying the Prayer to St.Michael the Holy Archangel and Prayer for the Pope, and free from any wrong intentions before going to the SSPX Holy Masses:
[ i) In the strict sense the faithful may fulfill your Sunday obligation by attending a Mass celebrated by a priest of the Society of St. Pius X."
ii) The Faithful whose in intention is simply to participate in a Mass according to the 1962 Missal for the sake of devotion, is not a sin to attend Tridentine Mass in SSPX, unless it is to manifest your desire to separate yourself from communion with the Roman Pontiff and those(local Ordinaries:Archbishops or Bishops) in communion with him.
iii)The Faithful could give contribution to the collection/money at Holy Mass celebrates by SSPX. ]
~Letter by Msgr. Camille Perl Regarding Society of St. Pius X Masses to Una Voce America in January 18th, 2003.
[ As the suggestion and reference, the Faithful is entrusted in a good faith towards attending the Holy Masses celebrate by SSPX while there is no Traditional Latin Mass or Extraordinary Form in local Dioceses and/or local parishes, and,
Therefore, all the laity that attending Holy Masses in SSPX for a temporary periods could attend the Traditional Latin Mass in local Dioceses and/or local parishes if there is Traditional Latin Mass or Extraordinary Form offered in local Dioceses and/or local parishes. ]
~IOC Movement response regarding Holy Mass celebrates by SSPX
Although discourage to do so, however, if there is a 'grave concern' that the Catholic faithful must attend or receiving Holy Mass and Sacraments that the SSPX could provide:
["Even if there were a valid decree of suspension, in her mercy the Church recognizes that one is excused from a penalty if it was impossible or even `gravely inconvenient' to comply with the law that was allegedly violated. (Can. 1323) " ]
In conclusion,
Any faithful Catholic in Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei should take this opportunity to pray for their own local Archbishops/Bishops and try to involve in assisting their own local Diocese/parish and to foster a dialogue between their own respective Catholic Archbishop/Bishop and also the clergy that is in communion with him.
Signed and approved by,
John Paul J. Nicholas of Diocese of Sibu, Sarawak, and Diocese of Miri-Apostolic Vicariate Brunei.
