Matthew
Some of us started out as SSPX R&Rers but in the course of time moved into sedevacantism, but still attend the SSPX chapel we have always been in. How can we be in favour of anything that has to do with the Modernists in Rome?. In the early 2000s at least four of us from India - all attending SSPX chapels, but sedes - tried to use the TRADITIO network to work against the deal which could be smelt by at least 2002 if not earlier. Cathinfo was not around then.
Yes, but it was around just a few years later, in August of 2006.
And I was busy training at the St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary under Bishop Williamson -- without that crucial training and formation, CathInfo would never have become what it is today. So I regret nothing.
I'm probably just younger than you (and the other 3 you mentioned). There's a place for all age groups; everyone gets the same productive time on earth (roughly) and our lifespans all overlap. We needed the early Trad pioneers in the 70's, then we needed some 10 years younger, and 10 years younger than that... and so on. I started fighting the good fight later than you, but only because of my age (I am a life-long Trad), so I will probably get to fight it until a later year than you. That's just how it works.
And there are some that are just coming of age today, who will (hopefully) fight the good fight a couple decades longer than I will be able to. Again, that's just how human lifespan works.
I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me though. That some sedevacantists support the Resistance, or supported the Resistance from the earliest days? Of course. I will happily concede that point. Anything else you want to argue about?
But let's be realistic -- just because someone is a sedevacantist I'm not going to assume they support(ed) the Resistance in any meaningful way, or understand it to any degree. That would be too much to assume. I would HOPE that most sedevacantists would get along with the Resistance somewhat, since we are both against a deal with Modernist Rome. But we are largely R&R, like Archbishop Lefebvre.
We were talking about the platform of the Resistance being mainly "lighting a fire under various priests who were being too silent about ____ issue or ____ issue, basically complaining about their sermon syllabus or telling them what to preach". To that, of course, I disagree.
