Priestly Society of Saint Josaphat
Supported and funded by the Society of Saint Pius X, the Priestly Society of Saint Josaphat extends the SSPX's traditionalist critique of current Catholic Church practices to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. It opposes some decisions of the Second Vatican Council and aspects of ecumenism and interreligious dialogue practised by the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the Holy See.
The Society also opposes the replacement of the traditional Church Slavonic language by the vernacular Ukrainian language in the liturgy, and opposes liturgical de-latinisation, the removal of Latin Rite practices such as Eucharistic adoration, the Rosary, and the Stations of the Cross, which had been adopted within the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

The stained flats of heaven hit and razed
To the kissed kite hems of his shawl....”
