I thought that is how people who are looking to understand the law look for precedent.  I think this disobedience question is very important.  You men, want wives to be obedient to their spouse because it was set up by God.  Well apply this to Father Feeney and +ABL.  We are in the Crisis due to many different forms of disobedience. I just think that until we apply that across all forms of master/servant relationships, God will not restore Catholicism. Just my observation no one has to even pay any attention to me.

Saint Athanasius also lived in times of crisis and did not obey when the truth was being attacked. And yes, I think all men here recognize that a woman should not obey her husband in sinful matters. So Father Feeney also should not have obeyed when his authorities attacked the truth.

The fruits are not to be seen/measured according to all people, because the sspx (just like the catholic church) is made up of flawed, sinful individuals.  The fruits are to be seen in exemplary individuals, but most importantly, in the Truth/doctrine.  That is, that priests/families are willing to sacrifice x, y and z to protect, (attempt to) build Tradition, build schools, build chapels/convents, in hopes that Tradition will survive.  The struggle/desire/work is proof that Tradition is worth keeping.

In other words, there was a story of a protestant who was serious about catholicism.  He visited Rome in the mid 1800s, admist all sorts of Vatican scandals, etc.  He returned and shocked his friends by his decision to convert.  He said, "If the Catholic Church can survive all of the turmoil, scandals, and lukewarm individuals I met in Rome, then surely it only exists because God is keeping it going.  Therefore, it must be of Divine origin."
