    Not true.  You can claim something isn’t a fact DIRECTLY but if you consistently argue that “the other side” is wrong, you are INDIRECTLY IMPLYING that your side is factual. 

    If you truly believe that your side is only probable (and not fact) then there shouldn’t be ANY criticism of a contrary position, as the other positions COULD be correct.  That’s logic. 

    But some feign false humility by asserting probability while at the same time treating other views as false, which means their own is not just probable but factual.  You can’t have it both ways.
    Yes, you can easily have it both ways as not all opinions and the opposite are held exactly 50% for one and 50% for the other, some opinions are stronger than others and thus one opinion will be easier to criticize than the other. Maybe for you every opinion you have is held at 50% and you never criticize the opposite opinion. but it is not logical to think that your 50/50 way of viewing every opinion is correct and must apply to others.

    Sure, debate and criticizing of opposing views is fine and necessary.  What crosses the line is condemnation, which Sean often practices.  It’s illogical.

    Such brave and honorable "men" to persist in insulting someone who is not present.

    What will men say of you when you are gone?
    It's nothing I have not told him while he was here and I would say to him face to face if it ever came up, so quit your stupid  virtue signaling like a Liberal already.

    I am deriding his opinions and his expression of such, which 9 times out of 10, he did so with a lack of distinctions.  Sedeism was 100% wrong.  Now it’s 100% right.  Anyone who tried to have a reasonable objection was chastised.  Now he’s chastising the sspx/R&R.  Nothings changed.  Same ol’ Sean.  That’s the point.
    I missed the part where he is now a sedevacantist, let alone a dogmatic one. He seems to be in the middle, open to possibilities, but on the side of doubting the popes with good reason rather than being certain they are true popes. I was afraid he went full sede, but reading through part 2 shows he hasn't gone from one extreme to the other, and is in the middle.

    I am not signaling "virtue," I am signaling that you and PV are assholes for banging on about Sean. The man changed his opinion over the course of years. B.F.D.

    Get over yourselves, Little Boys.

    I’m not talking about his position but his attitude.  Hes already blaming the sspx for “indoctrination” (his word).   No, he wasn’t indoctrinated.  He was just stubborn.  Plenty of people tried to reason with him to be moderate.

    Has nothing to do with Sean’s position.  His attitude was 100% a-hole.  To everyone who disagreed with him.  Now he’s changed positions and he’s being an a-hole to the other side.  The irony is hilarious.

    Yes, you are, so sthu already. Nobody really cares if Sean is a sede, or a can't decider, or decides not to decide, or decides to just float around somewhere in the middle, scratching his head dwelling on the idea till kingdom come - who cares?

    Apparently he freely chose to create a blog and publish to the whole world what his problem is, or was, or will be. This means that at the same time, he also freely chose to bring on whatever repercussions.

    Why do you even care?

    Is your life so empty that you need Sean to fill it?

    The irony is actually that your life is so empty that you need Sean to fill it.

    Get over yourselves, Little Boys.

    Sean wrote a worthy book and is doing a good job of raising a large Catholic family. What have you (plural!) ever done of visible value for the Faith?

    You (plural!) are due to re-read Matthew 7:3-5.

    What's he supposed to say? The SSPX doesn't tell people to research the issue with an open mind, and that it's ok to doubt the pope. They say the current claimant is pope, or they don't say anything. They downplay opposing arguments as baseless nonsense.
