She isn’t trying to find the truth.  And I’m not here to change her.  This site is not “group therapy”.  Sometimes it’s a sermon.  She can either listen to the Truth or ignore it.  I think we all know she won’t listen.  She hasn’t listened to hardly anything, on any topic, since she joined.  I hope she leaves.  She’s a horrible example to younger people on here. 
I don't think we can really tell a person's intent.  I just think that we can leave out the personal assumptions like "I think we all know she won't listen. She hasn’t listened to hardly anything, on any topic, since she joined.  I hope she leaves.  She’s a horrible example to younger people on here." We don't truly know that.  And many of the regulars who constantly put down people when it is not necessary (is it ever really necessary to say the assumptions we think, out loud?) are also giving people a bad example.

Plant seeds and be patient.  That is my motto. And also realize none of us know the big picture of God's plan. (I keep trying to tell myself that, otherwise despair comes knocking at my back door.)

That wasn't much vinegar at me, so thank you. :cowboy:

The doctrine stands:

A manifest heretic cannot be named in the Canon of the Mass.  To do so is morally impossible, canonically forbidden, and theologically absurd.

I must be doing it wrong. My phone is going on 10 years old... and it was a free upgrade.

SSPX Resistance News / Re: SSPX consecrations announced

Here is a PDF of the webpage, in case they ever "memory hole" it.

But talk about hypocrisy!
"Rules for thee, but not for me."

Can they get any more blatant?

The SSPX is cooked.
If there is any difference between the SSPX and Resistance, I'd say it is summed up in that pdf; that the SSPX still recognizes the Church authorities at the Vatican in act, while the Resistance hardly recognizes them in word only.

So, the SSPX can say; "we tried asking for bishops, out of respect for Church authority", while the Resistance can say; "we do what we want without any regard for the current authorities of the Church, while further disrespecting them by calling the [supposed] Pope by his birth name."

Feel free to correct my over simplification, but don't be blinded by the pride you have in your side of the matter. Dialogue and attempting to respect authority are two different things, and it appears to me that the SSPX gets the latter right, while the Resistance doesn't.

The point of comparison for the consecrations by Bishop Williamson should not be 1988, but 1991.
That was when the long-forgotten consecration of Bishop Rangel (Campos) by the SSPX took place.
It is impossible for the SSPX to justify the 1991 consecration and simultaneously criticize the consecrations by Msgr. Williamson. This is probably also the reason why it is never mentioned.
I, for one, had forgotten all about this, not about Rangel himself, but about the time frame.

Did the 2009 protocol lift both the 1988 putative excommunications, and the subsequent ones incurred in 1991 with the consecration of Rangel?

So, that's nonsense, as my little neighborhood there consisted ENTIRELY of blue collar types, people who worked at a factory, or did other blue collar jobs that didn't even particularly require any skill or education, or who worked in retail or something else.  In other words, THERE'S NO WAY that the demographic I knew in that area was in the top 18th Percentile of Wage Earners, rendering them "Upper Middle Class".  These folks there were absolutely LOWER MIDDLE CLASS and even UPPER LOWER CLASS.

I second that --
My dad never worked a skilled job, or even a trade -- the most skilled thing he did was security guard. So yeah -- being able to buy a house and raise a family on close to minimum wage, or manual labor/unskilled jobs -- that just shows how sweet the Boomers had it.

And how cooked we are now.

The SSPX has been cooked since they signed on for those clandestine meetings with GREC in the 1990's.

And you think that calling her an embarrassment and a lax Catholic is the way to help.  I think it is funny that people expect people to change and think vinegar is the way to do it.  Just because she calls you guys things doesn't mean you have to follow.  Conversion to Truth is a long process and not all people do it exactly the same way.  Women especially have emotional things to get through.  All I ask is you be patient. I always hope that CathInfo is a place to find the Truth and then get help to see Truth with Charity.  I am still hoping for that.

And St. Peter denied Christ thrice before he became the great Saint that he is.

Now go ahead and use vinegar on me now.  :cowboy:

So ... and this is one thing about the Dimond Brothers that can be a fault at times ... it's practically impossible to change their minds about any particular subject.  So they would never "change" except for the most extreme reasons.
