''Catholic Family News'' has a close relationship with Marcel Lefebvre's Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). Vennari's funeral service, at his request, was conducted by members of SSPX.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sspx.org/en/news-events/news/john-vennari-laid-rest-new-york-29013 |title=John Vennari Laid to Rest in New York |website=SSPX |date=April 12, 2017 |access-date=December 25, 2019 |archive-date=December 25, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191225071817/https://sspx.org/en/news-events/news/john-vennari-laid-rest-new-york-29013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The SSPX publishing house, Angelus Press, is a CFN advertiser and CFN editor Brian McCall has appeared at conferences sponsored by Angelus Press.
