"As Luker notes, the CMRI is not a secret society. You don't have to know a secret handshake or password to get into their chapels or access their websites."
This is hardly a recommendation, as neither are protestant groups secret societies.
The CMRI, like the protestant groups, is a sect.
Galatians 5:19-20
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, Idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects,
When you talk of "venonmous posts" and Luker speaks of "hate" against the CMRI, this is simply deceit and propaganda.
Rather, it is just indignation that you are schismatic and that indignation is directed to your reform.
Proverbs 29:27
"The just abhor the wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way."
And the dishonesty is seen that despite posting the text of Vatican 1 session 4 which assures of a "permanent" succession, and seeking your response, you do not reply. That is because there is no honest response, because the Holy Ghost reveals in clear and simple terms that sedevacantism is a falsehood.
John 8:46
"If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
John 10:26
"But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep."
And in regard to your statement about the main accusers being "radical conciliar apologists", I will speak for myself. I am a Traditional Catholic, but I accept the validity of the conciliar Popes as their canonical election requires and Vatican 1 affirms. The Novus Ordo is a punishment from God, but it is still a valid mass (subject to the usual norms) and there is still salvation within it.
I thank God that I have been given the gift of tradition and see that as conferring an additional responsibility to pray for those less fortunate and not an opportunity to exalt myself over others. Those in the novus ordo are our brothers and sisters, not some "unclean people" as some on CI seem to infer. Which is ironic, as there is a "newchurch" within the body of tradition of pharisees and sedevacantists - all abominate.
And such as these are punished by God who has given them to even refuse canonisations of persons who don't meet their supposed high standards of formalistic religion.
2 Thessalonians 2:10
"Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying."
Thus, these so-called loyalists to the faith, now find themselves in some grade of schism. They take pleasure in their sins of hating and slandering, but through the canonisations, God has sent them a due punishment:
Psalms 34:26
"Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me."
The shame will come later.
