Way off topic here, but wanted to interject a thought on Siscoe, Salza, Charles Coulombe, Fr. Paul Robinson, Fr. Cekada et al.
It is the classic SSPX MO to hire or assign 3rd party, questionable scholars to write, histories, white papers and fake science to achieve a political goal or make them more acceptable to the world.
1. Siscoe & Salza anti-sede-vacantist writings: Purpose to justify their relations with newChurch.
2. Charles Coulumbe's histories: To improve the Society's image for Catholic scholarship... which they lack.
3. Fr. Robinson's modern science: To jettison the stereotypical image of the "conspiratorial trad Catholic".
4. Fr. Cekada's writings on the "Validity of the American Order of St. John": To discredit Father James Wathen, a potential, early competitor to the SSPX.
Incred, you have a gift for being succinct and incisive. So few words, but you leave nothing left to add. Good work!
