Why is that?
I assume that many Sedevacantists accept BoD because they put more emphasis on whatever comes from Rome. If you accept R&R and basically think that nothing the current popes are saying is binding for you, then it's not difficult to discard a letter from the Holy Office as well.
It might be a bit simplistic though, so correct me if I'm wrong.

That's always been my belief as well.  In battling against R&R, many SVs have exaggerated the authority of anything papal, and so they give Suprema Haec too much weight.  But they neglect the fact that SH was never published in AAS and is therefore not authentic Magisterium (by canonical definition).  I believe the docuŠ¼ent was a fraud perpetrated by Cushing, since he wasted several years until after the alleged issue date to publish it, right after the Cardinal who allegedly signed it had died.  Of course, these same SVs reject the 1955 Holy Week changes.

Some, like Father Cekada, have created a pseudo-doctrine regarding the "infallibility of theologians" ... so he argues that because all theologians right before V2 held it, we are bound to accept it.  Of course, he ignores the fact that ALL theologians endorsed the teachings of Vatican II.

Ferdi, Ok. I see where you (and probably the original poster) are coming from. 

But as Lad noted, the Holy Office letter was not even published in the Acta. So one can reject it as a fraud or question it as Magisterial, and still have a Sede view as to authentic Magisterial authority.

Sorry guys. Got busy at work yesterday. i appreciate all the responses. 

I asked my question because I was wondering what someone would make of the Catholic man who belonged to the Catholic Church pre VII and belonged to it after the Council.

Well, my parents (+rip) belonged to the Church before and after the Council, keeping the faith they always knew, they never went with the new religion and never went sede.

Because although they did not know what happened to their Church (like many other faithful), the knew what was happening within the Church was wrong so they never went along with it. Like many others, they automatically or perhaps better said, inherently or intrinsically stuck with what they knew was right. Reference here the good analogy Last Tradhican gave us:

"U.S. Treasury agents who specialize in forgery detection, when they are being trained, are never shown any forgeries, they are strictly immersed in learning every minute detail of the real thing. That way, they can spot the forgery instantly..."
