 5-10% of Trad priests are federal agents?  Really???  Do you wear a tinfoil hat?  Where have you been going to Mass?  Area 51?

If they infiltrated and took over the mainstream Church even to the level of the papacy, don't you think they would try to infiltrate the resistance?

I assume 5-10% of priests minimum are feds.

Are you serious???

You're insane! I'm not allergic to the CIA bludgeon "cօռspιʀαcʏ theorist", and won't shy away from the truth even if it's unpopular.

But that doesn't mean that some so-called "cօռspιʀαcʏ theories" aren't batshit insane. And this is one of them.

How would 5-10% of priests MINIMUM be federal agents? You do know that a priest has to go through 6 years of seminary formation, and be ordained publicly at one of a handful of Traditional seminaries, right? And that Tradition is a small world?

They'd be hard pressed to get ONE agent into a Trad group. How would that work exactly? They are trained as a fed during their last couple years of Homeschool (age 16-18) and then they enter a normal Seminary for 6 years and get ordained a priest, so they'll be accepted as a priest by Trads.

See how insane that sounds? Most Trad vocations are *young* vocations. Their years are all accounted for. Many go from SSPX schools or Homeschool right to the seminary. When I was at the seminary, if you were 24 you were older than most seminarians, even many upper-years.

You can't just randomly extend lines or take mental shortcuts. It doesn't work that way.

Why infiltrate a microscopic group? Who cares about such a small group? Even if they maintain the true Catholic faith, 99.999% of the country won't have access to one of these chapels, so it's still Mission Accomplished for the destroyers. It's like saying the Germans aren't just blowing up shipping in the Atlantic, but they are spending thousands of man-hours scouring every square-foot of the ocean looking for 4-man rubber lifeboats as well.
A) a tiny group is much more close-knit and hard to infiltrate. Everyone knows everyone. B) the payoff is not worth it, because even if you gained full control of the group, it's insignificant.

The SSPX is a large group. They got influenced, taken over, or whatever but only AFTER they became a huge, influential organization -- probably over 80% of the whole Trad movement as measured in Trad population, # of priests, real estate, etc.

Even more so the Catholic Church -- about 10,000X the SSPX. They even have the official title "Catholic Church" and the global prestige associated with the Pope.

You need to put down AA-1025. Even if that book were 100% true, it only spoke about a broad plot to infiltrate *the entire Catholic Church* pre-Vatican II. When there are thousands of seminaries worldwide, each with HUNDREDS of seminarians, it's much easier to infiltrate a bunch of plants. It's like trying to shoplift a Wal-mart vs. trying to shoplift a small jewelry store where the one employee is pretty much constantly watching you.

History doesn't repeat that way, silly. If it did, then any 80 IQ normie would be a wise genius. No, it's always a bit different. Things are more complex than that. History might rhyme, but it never repeats exactly.

If you're counting SSPX then 5-10% is totally plausible, they don't even conditionally ordain priests from NO. I totally agree with you if we're just talking sede/resistance.

This is me. Sorry, the Anon setup can be awkward. Maybe names should be default on this forum?
