  • Ladislaus consider the Thesis is sede"whatever"  and the Anti-thesis is the Novus Ordo
    and the Synthesis is SSPX R&R
    This is an older thread but a bump will help.  The above is actually a logical conclusion as in the SSPX world the situation has always been put forth employing a false dichotomy. That is to say two positions which are opposed are said to be extremes, and then a place between the two declared as the only sound and safe one to hold,  That being said, this is based upon the middle position being able to define who and what are the extremes and who has the truth. The usefulness of this is demonstrated by the deliberate tying of a competing faction to one or the other of the "extremes" whenever there is inter factional conflict within the brotherhood.
    So, there are really only two substantive positions, the one which is based upon the truth and the one that is not. The third being created by man, the grey area which is founded in man's subjective dispositions.
    That third center position must by its nature be some type of compromise between the so called extremes.
    The whole of such false dichotomies are not honest in their operation, and as they are constructed to produce a pre-determined result and validate the compromised middle. And there the search for the true reality of this crisis stops, any further action put on hold. "To the bunkers comrades, we will wait it out...in safety......

    If there is indeed a more sound, a more deeply based, and a more effective posture which can be discovered, it will not be discovered, because it will not be sought out or even contemplated.

    Such are the times in which we now live and the quality of men with whom we live. This is especially applicable to our  Holy Church.

  • Perhaps.  But SSPX came first really.
    I'm afraid this is factually incorrect.  There were sedevacantists in the United States by at least 1967.  The SSPX was founded in 1970.
