You are delusional.
If Bishop Fellay gives the nod to religious liberty in a CNS interview; if he accepts the hermeneutic of continuity as a means to accepting conciliar errors (as he did in the April 15, 2012 doctrinal declaration), these are significant doctrinal deviations.
Then at the practical level, if the SSPX starts accepting ministerial assistance from the ICK and diocesan clergy (as in the African District), this is a serious rebuke of Lefebvre’s position.
Rather than jumping ship too early, is this not a sign these people should have jumped ship years ago, before they could be conditioned into accepting ministrations from Lefebvre’s doctrinally compromised enemies?
In fact, why should the SSPX even exist today, if the faithful can just go to a diocesan indult or ICK Mass?
Sean,
KevinBrumley would almost be cute if he were, say, 5 years old -- with such naivete. The idea that doctrine doesn't matter, that a good number of significant changes can happen without an underlying doctrinal shift/cause.
I have to tell him "Sorry, DOCTRINE MATTERS." Anyone with a brain knows that. Even the Pharisees in 33 AD knew that. It's all about doctrine. It always is!
It used to be common sense and an undisputed point that
our beliefs -- the doctrine we hold -- shapes our actions. If we believe, for example, that we are in a deadly pandemic, and that cloth/paper masks are able to filter out viruses, then I'm going to wear a mask everywhere I go, of my own will.
St. John chapter 18:
[19] The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
