That's not an argument.
I know, you know more than Saint Alphonsus, right?

There's a horrible tendency among Catholics to resort to appeals to authority and ad hominems, and by appeals to authority I do not mean valid references ot infallible teachings.
You bet I will appeal to authority, especially when they are unanimous.

I now underlined groups in the first part and added groups to the second part to make it super clear. The MHFM for instance is sede and believes in EENS as it is written, but the Dimond's are not a sede group, they do not have a seminary, priests and bishops.
And people who don't back-peddle into excuse are already "super clear" because they don't play word games like retro-fitting meaning to a word or phrase instead of just admitting to an error of expression.

Learn to think or to not lie, whichever it is.

With regard to the sede position, I came back to the Church when I was older, at that time I really didn't know anything about the Faith. I read profusely for years and almost from the beginning, concluded that JPII was a punishment from God and I told people that. However, I have never pushed the sede position on anyone mainly because all the sede groups teach that anyone can be saved without baptism and Christ in any way shape or form. Same goes for the SSPX. If the sedes and SSPX came to the conclusion that say the dogmatic Athanasian Creed means the complete opposite of what it says by their "theological analysis" , how can I believe them on the sede position, since our current situation is unprecedented while EENS is likely the most dogmatically docuмented teaching in the Church.
Good on you.

I OTOH saw Fr. Sanborn go from a young, holy priest and powerful speaker, zealous for souls Catholic priest, to a raging pope denying sedevacantist in what seemed like under 3 months. I often picture his young face, snarled in an inordinate rage when he was slamming the pope from the pulpit trying to convince the faithful that Pope Paul VI was not the pope, when debating the sedes here.

I also know that St. Alphonsus claimed that Trent teaches that men can be justified by "desire", which it doesn't.  See here, though again I don;t expect you to be able to actually follow and address an argument as to the turth opf its premises or valdity of its deductive steps, only attacking its conclusion with vagues statements abotu unanimity about something. https://www.cathinfo.com/crisis-in-the-church/dogma-gt-desire-and-laver-of-regeneration-cannot-be-separated/msg577508/#msg577508
You do realize that even Father Feeney didn’t reject the dogmatic teaching that one can be justified by desire?
