You all crack me up. "Cat out of the bag," "troll!," "You've shown your true colors."
Stupid claims that even children can make. Intellectually bankrupt idiots like you are quick to cry like a child when things don't go their way.
Anyway God will show to both of us which of us was right on Judgement Day. Until then, to hell with your Protestant mindset!

A response that I would expect from a Modernist such as yourself. 

Cardinal Newman's "Development of Christian Doctine" outlines this point rather succinctly.

Newman may have made some good points (I've not read all his writings) but he did write some major errors too (which Orestes Brownson destroyed him on).  Doctrine is nothing more than Divine Truth, so it cannot "develop" because God is unchanging, eternal and always is - so doctrine has the same attributes.
.
Doctrine can be clarified, and understood more fully, but this does not change the essence of the doctrine, it only adds to the richness of the truth.  "Development" as Newman explained it, was heretical.  Same for the Modernists, of whom, Newman might have been a precursor (for this specific topic).

The sound and true teachings of the Catholic Church show who is right. We don't have to wait until judgment day. We know our Catholic Faith. 

You are obnoxious when you are challenged. Charity is not your strong suit.

I knew him at seminary.  While I applaud the effort, what the heck is he doing by saying that he hopes to be classified as an “essential service”.  That is to basically concede the state’s position that they can violate constitutional rights if you’re not an “essential service”?

I see where he's coming from though.  Its ludicrous to suggest that mass is *not* essential.  And while I think the lockdowns are wrong generally I'm not sure its a priest's job to fight against economic shutdown

You do have a point here that's been lost.  Whether or not the secular authority has any right to restrict Mass attendance, the hierarchy most certainly does.  One can argue argue about whether they should have done so, but one cannot, short of being a sedevacantist who considers them illegitimate, dispute that they have this right.

Now, I'm not sure if the Pope himself forbade Mass attendance around the world, but I'm sure that he backs the decisions of the local episcopate.  So, since the U.S. bishops have shut down Masses, those who do not consider these illegitimate are in fact bound by their decree.

Now, I know I've disagreed with Sean about this before based on his thinking regarding just law principles.  Archbishop Vigano agrees in this case.  But his argument is about receiving the Sacraments, and people can still receive the Sacraments if they request them on an individual basis (apart from the cases of Novus Ordo presiders who are too scared to administer them).  In fact, some of the Eastern Rite bishops in the U.S. have been encouraging people to make individual appointments to receive the Sacraments.  I would imagine that the logistics of the Novus Ordo would make this impossible (there are many more of them than Eastern Rite Catholics).  Yet I bet that most NO "Catholics" are thrilled that the don't have to go to Mass on Sunday and won't go out of their way for the Sacraments.

In many states, such as here in Ohio, the directive is merely that there not be groups of more than 10.  So what if the SSPX (and others) assigned 15-minute timeslots for groups of 10 at a time (spread out by at least 6 feet along the Communion rail) to receive Holy Communion.  In an 8 hour day, 320 people could receive Holy Communion, and most Traditional chapels don't have anywhere near that many people.  Then also make some arrangements for people who wish to go to Confession beforehand.  I'm not seeing the SSPX make that extra effort to find creative ways to get the Sacraments to people.

I'm definitely not certain this is the case.  And its not even just some SSPX people who question this.  Bishop Schneider has argued that priests don't have to obey these orders, and I've seen a Novus Ordo canon lawyer argue the shutdowns are invalid as well.  I'd think most people here would be more strict than Schneider/an NO canon lawyer, not less, hence I do cite them here despite the fact that most people here wouldn't think that much of either.

One other thing that bothers me here, bishops don't seem to usually be making this decision "on their own."  They seem to be reasoning, like Sean pointed out, on "well the government said it so we don't have a choice."  I wouldn't really see an issue with an SSPX or Resistance chapel ignoring the local bishop here.  I don't think this has to be exclusively a sede thing, it can just be disobedience to unjust authority.

@StTherese

You seem to think that it is just that all public masses and sacraments across the world have basically ceased. Don't you see a problem with that?

This isn't about a virus, it's about Communist control.

Tucker Carlson had him on his show TONIGHT!!  well that was fun.
