Well said. I have said many times in the past how Cekada's novel "Una cuм" construct was a convenient, selfish, self-serving device to "remove the competition" and make more income/money for himself and his chapel(s).

What better way to "own" your parishioners, than by removing all other Masses as an option?

It's diabolically brilliant -- and quite obvious.

He only adopted this stance several years after Bp Sanborn did.  When I first got to MHT in 1999, DD and AC were not at all anti-una cuм.  They saw each other very often (Fr. C was spending one week a month at MHT teaching) -- yet he failed to see any merit in the position.  Oddly, Sanborn's adherence to Cassiciacuм is more consistent with a NON-anti-una cuм stance.  Fr. Martin Stepanich was always staunchly against the anti-una cuм position -- and his training and experience were orders of magnitude greater than any at MHT, SGG, etc.  Such is Traddieland, such are these times.

Also, nice that he needs to cite Bp. Sanborn's other novelty: "opinionism".

As best as I recall, Sanborn (years ago) used the label "opinionism" to describe a response within Traddieland (to V2) that he took to be erroneous.  It seems you are speaking of something else.  Please clarify.  Thank you.

Why the CMRI Is Not an Option for Serious Catholics
BY STEPHEN HEINER · JANUARY 21, 2022

Heiner is an unprincipled, opportunistic DB.  He passes for reasonably smart within the Traddieland of 2022 but is, in the end, a pseudo-intellectual whose "journalism" is suspect.

It was in reference to this article by Bp. Sanborn: http://www.traditionalmass.org/images/articles/Opinionism.pdf

Thank you.  I am very familiar with the article.  I confess I do not see how such a take (right or wrong) is a novelty of any kind, much less on a level remotely similar to pontificating about V2-una cuм as a mortal sin, even for those assisting at Holy Mass.

Perhaps I misunderstood your comment.
