It matters because 90% of catholics out there (i.e. novus ordo, sspx, sede) label anyone who asks questions and/or questions the "BOD narrative" as heretics. I'm tired of being called a heretic and these conversations prove that most people who believe in BOD don't know what they're talking about.
Also, this topic has broken up families, marriages, caused clerics to withhold sacraments from the laity, and also people have gotten kicked out of seminaries. If you don't know this, then a) you're not a priest, or b) you are extremely sheltered.
Yes, it's such a diabolican inversion when those who VERBATIM contradict the dogmatic teaching of Florence are "right", claiming that heretics, schismatics, and infidels CAN be saved, and even have the infernal temerity to declare those who accept what Florence teaches as heretics where a denial of BoD has become the greatest of all heresies, worse that those of Bergoglio, and worse than those of the religious indifferntists.
Father Feeney's name has been smeared ... as have those who saw the truth as he saw it, but he'll be vindicated in the end, and so will we. Father Feeney alone saw the crisis coming and knew there was something wrong, despite everyone else claiming things were just dandy.
Father Feeney, pray for us.
And the Trad clergy who persecute the "Feeneyites" will be remembered in disgrace, as having been enablers and accomplices of those detroying the Church, even if just in the capacity of useful idiots.
