I found the below paragraphs from the above article particularly interesting:

One more thing: The SSPX "theologians," however well-trained in diplomacy, could use a few lessons in Basic Catholic Theology 101. Their saying "They [the Vatican heretics] are mentally sick, but they have the authority" is itself mentally sick. Why ascribe authority to a place where authority is intrinsically impossible? How else can the lunatics take over the asylum, except through the sheer lunacy of those willing to ascribe authority to lunatics? That is not authority but only power, and power abused most gravely. And to allow such patent lunatics to curtail your authority (over which they have no jurisdiction, by virtue of their own explicit decree) is only your own authority being most gravely misdirected and mislead.

    The necessity of the Church to continue as an organized body (presently several cooperating organized bodies, all belonging to and subject to the one) is so basic and important that to refuse it cannot escape culpability. Saying that "the Vatican won't let me," though most probably quite true, has got to be the lamest excuse for not doing one's job, and should be rightly seen so by all Catholics. Your Excellency, as you never received the office of a "Vatican functionary" there is nothing for you to retire from. However, you did receive the office of Roman Catholic Bishop, and from that office there is no retirement.
