So, if one priest in the Resistance speaks about 'flat earth', I say "who cares?"  Does this priest speak for the entire Resistance?  No.  Does he mean to speak for the entire Resistance?  No.  Does his opinion change the scope or purpose of the Resistance?  No.

So why does it matter what he thinks?  Why would the resistance be harmed?
I agree with you that, as far as logic goes, it should not matter.  But, as you say, this kind of illogical thinking is rampant.  People often behave in ways other than they should.  

Based on what I know of human nature, if there is a resistance priest who is a flat earther, it would almost certainly be used in attacks by opponents of the resistance, no matter how illogical it was to do so.

I actually had a conversation with a family member where I was chastizing the group, antifa, saying these people are maniacs and terrorists.  My relative argued that there are people who agree with antifa who don't do those things and that I was making a "false generalization".  I told them that I was talking about the people who riot, go to the meetings, and are ACTIVE members of the group.  Their response:  "Well, some people identify with antifa who aren't active members and they aren't extremist, therefore calling antifa an extremist group is wrong."   ...WHAT?!

This goes to show the trickle-down errors of the gender-identity lies.  People nowadays seem to have bought into the lie that a woman can "identify" as a man, or a white person can "identify" as an african american.  They are so divorced from reality that they think that a person who sits on the couch and watches antifa on the news can "identify" as being a member of antifa, even though they've never visited their website, never been to a meeting and only know about antifa from what they hear/read in the news.  Wow.

The mental state of our nation is incapacitated.  Only Our Lady can clear the cobwebs from these people's confused minds.  It's really scary.

I have no difficulty identifying the severe flaws in the article, but I am curious about the implications for the resistance if there is, in fact, a resistance priest who is a flat earther.

Well, last time I checked, flat earth hasn't been condemned by the Church as doctrinal error.  Let's say that a certain resistance priest were going around saying that 2+2 = 5.  What are the implications for the Resistance?  Let's assume that he's not insane, and just in error.  Except for possibly "making the resistance look bad", there are no implications.  But SSPX attacked Bishop Williamson precisely for making the Society "look bad" due to his position on the h0Ɩ0h0αx.

And if a Resistance priest were going around promoting the notion that husbands could discipline their wives with corporal punishment?  Would that not also subject the Resistance to attacks?  How about if a Resistance priest says that 9/11 was an inside job?  Or that the h0Ɩ0cαųst was a fraud?  That's just such a slippery slope, and same one which led to +Williamson's ouster from the SSPX in the first place.  Unless it's a matter of faith or morals taught by or condemned by the Church, there should be complete freedom.  If you think one or another priest is a little nutty for holding a certain position, then you're free to stop associating with him.

Right.  But let everyone stop before they make such a decision and remind themselves that the mass is much more important than a priest's opinion on flat earth.  Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water...
