From their website:
Welcome to the fledgling website of the Society of St. Pius I (SSPI). Unlike other so-called “traditionalist” Roman Catholic groups, we adhere to the ORIGINAL Roman Catholic Mass of A.D. 40-200, and described by St. Justin Martyr and the Apostolic Constitutions, and used by Pope St. Pius I of happy memory.
Don’t be fooled by PHONY “Vulgate” neotraditionalists, who claim to protect tradition, and yet still defend the RADICAL and totally UNCATHOLIC reforms of the 4th century A.D.
So-called “trads” pretend to be against the modernism of the last hundred years, but where were they when the original Rite of Rome, the Greek rite USED BY ST. PETER AND THE APOSTLES was being totally gutted and revised by unknown scholars and translated into the vernacular language of Latin?
Y’gotta admire the (tongue in cheek) moxy here, but I sense a potential schism. Some members of the SSPI may well conclude that St. Peter and the apostles celebrated Mass in Aramaic, not Greek.
Till then . . .

What a great parody blog!
Nice! They even got down the “we shall define it by what we are not,” language! Too bad the disclaimer was in big letters..I’d have put it in size 1 font or something. Thanks, I needed a good laugh this morning 🙂
The Curt Jester had this a little while ago. One of the funniest sites ever.
My favorite line….
Unfortunately, funding issues and zoning laws in our locality have so far prevented us from excavating new catacombs in our area, so we are temporarily headquartered behind the water heater in our basement
LOL Steve,
I didn’t catch that statement the first time I looked at that site. That’s hilarious!
Has anyone been to the Holy Land in America Monastery in Washington DC? They’ve got catacombs under the church and they say Mass down there. It made a huge impression on me when I was a kid, their mural of the last judgment with all the skeletons coming out for it.
