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.

“... we have broken down the self-respecting spirit of man with nursery tales and priestly threats, and we dare to assert, that in proportion as we have prostrated our understanding and degraded our nature, we have exhibited virtue, wisdom, and happiness, in our words, our actions, and our lives!”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
“Our society distributes itself into Barbarians, Philistines and Populace; and America is just ourselves with the Barbarians quite left out, and the Populace nearly.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“O Paddy dear, an’ did ye hear the news that’s goin’ round?
The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground!
No more Saint Patrick’s Day we’ll keep, his colour can’t be seen,
For there’s a cruel law agin the wearin’ o’ the Green!”
—Unknown. The Wearing of the Green (l. 37–40)
