I don't have to be a theologian to know that the SSPX position of acknowledging Bob Prevost is the pope while
at the same time being claiming to be in union with him after they have been formally, WRONGFULLY excommunicated by him
IS RETARDED.
It is not retarded, as
they have very clearly already explained. See, with the sedes, like pretty much everything faith related, it is *all* about their predetermined judgement that the pope is not the pope. Which is to say that to the sedes, all who disagree with them are to at least some degree, retarded, or Lad's fav, they're Old Catholics.
Whereas with the SSPX, it has nothing whatsoever to do with judging the status of him who sits in the Chair. Why? Because they are going about the whole thing as if the man sitting in the Chair is without a shred of doubt whatsoever, the pope. It's all very clearly explained in the link.
I am not saying that the SSPX does not have major issues, I mean heck, every single solitary trad group out there *bar none* has something(s) screwed up - and like every other trad group out there, use them for the Mass and the sacraments to save your soul.
