Okay, Spiritus, think for a second. You accuse me of being prejudiced towards sedevacantism ( guilty ), as if this is why I took Tele's side ( not guilty. )
( 1 ) I disagree with Tele that this incident proves that SSPX is a "cult." He'd have to go to several chapels and have the same kind of experience before being able to prove that.
( 2 ) Tele's dilemma has nothing to do with SSPX vs. sedevacantism for me. Didn't I just say earlier in this thread, over and over, that there is gossip in sede chapels, that there was gossip before Vatican II, that this is as old as human weakness itself?
People need to get something through their skulls here and now: Sedevacantism is a theological position, and the SSPX has an opposed theological position. But this has NOTHING, but do you hear me, O willfully deaf ones out there, NOTHING to do with the faults of various priests on either side, whether they be at SGG or SSPX.
Who do you think is the real non-objective one here, Spiritus? I was the one who opened this whole debate by challenging Tele on the holes in his story. Before I did that, the majority of the sympathy was already on his side -- at least Jehanne, the only other major participant in this thread, was on his side, asking no questions.
If I just wanted to flatter Tele, who is on the verge of sedevacantism, why didn't I just say right away "Oh, SSPX is evil, get out of there?" In fact, last night I worried I was driving him away from sedevacantism by confronting him.
Yet you instantly defend the SSPX chapelgoers without even caring to know the details. I guess Tele isn't a Catholic, he doesn't deserve to have his side of the story told? Just cover everything up that doesn't reflect well on SSPX, is that it? Follow that logic a little deeper and see where it leads you -- right to the death of Christ, because that really is Pharisee stuff right there. That is to emulate people who would rather crucify Truth than listen to Him.
Tele is very emotional on this subject, and the way I saw it, there are two possible reasons for that. Either he is obsessed with this girl, or else he really was treated unfairly. I was trying to get a rough estimate which was really the case.
He went too far in attacking you, he should confess it. Basta.
