Here, my friends, is a fine example of being a day late, and a dollar short.
"If you will not forgive your brother, your Father in heaven will not forgive you" or something like that.

I've been plenty critical of Sean here, but he has apologized, we ought to forgive him and not rub it in.

I don’t mind taking a few on the chin.

I earned them.

Pax.

Excerpt from the Archbishop's 1979 Statement:

"Consequently, the Society of St. Pius X, its priests, brothers, sisters, and oblates, cannot tolerate among its members those who refuse to pray for the Pope or affirm that the Novus Ordo Missae is per se invalid. Certainly, we suffer from this continual incoherence which consists in praising all the Liberal orientations of Vatican II and at the same time straining to mitigate its effects. But all of this must incite us to prayer and to the firm maintenance of Tradition rather than to the affirmation that the Pope is not the Pope."

“among its members”
Keep in mind that it’s a priestly society, laypeople aren’t strictly speaking members.
As Matthew has pointed out before, lefebvre understood that sedevacantists and him had to go their separate ways, you can’t run a society without common agreement, but there isn’t any evidence that he said Sedevacantists were outside the church, anathema, damned to hell, or anything like that.  Like right or wrong I haven’t seen any evidence that he ever said anything like that and a lot of others have not either.
To be clear, I am not Sedevacantist
