I’m accusing Lad, quite gratuitously (for reasons stated earlier), in the hopes that being on the receiving end of unjust accusations will cause him to amend his behavior.

The post was not directed to the priests/bishop.

Yes, slandering me as a sodomite was an act of charity.    Sometimes I think you need psychological help, in addition to spiritual.

Your sodomy slander was in response to a simple link that I posted to the two priests.  What "behavior" are you talking about, posting a link?

You are a liar and you are lying now.  You most certainly did NOT make the comment in the hope that I would amend.  You got pissed off by the contents of the post from Fathers Barbara and Schoonbroodt.  You're not going to change until you can be honest with yourself.

I just can't sit here idly by when you basically characterize Holy Mother Church as a harlot.  If you said the same thing about my wife or my mother, I'd bust you in the chops.

You claim that the Catholic Church has become corrupt in its Magisterium, Public Worship, and also in its canonizations.  You slander the Church in the very same terms used by the Old Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestants ... who all made the identical smears of the Church.  Furthermore, you smear Archbishop Lefebvre by claiming that he thought the same thing, when it's been proven clearly that he did not.  He explicitly articulated that this is not possible, that the Church is guided by the Holy Spirit.  He simply prescinded from making the declaration and deferring to the final judgment of the Church.  I think that's why the Archbishop Lefebvre issue pushes your bottons, as it were, because you have long hidden behind (your false characterization of) Archbishop Lefebvre to justify yourself.

What touched of this latest round of the battle is your derogatory excoriation of the man you hold to be the Vicar of Christ.  At best, as a Catholic, you're entitled to a disrespectful disagreement with the Holy Father (as you believe him to be).  WHEN, EVER, in the history of the Church has it been considered acceptable for a lay Catholic (or any Catholic) to dismiss the teaching of the Vicar of Christ is such an obnoxious manner?

At the end of the day, I really don't care what you think, sedevacantist, sedeprivationist, sede-impoundist (Father Chazal), Siri theory, that Montini was blackmailed and not acting freely, or even that Montini was replaced by a double.  In fact, I have much less an issue with the conservative Novus Ordites who try to apply the hermeneutic of continuity in an attempt to reconcile Conciliarism with Catholicism.  I have no issue with the way Archbishop Lefebvre articulated his position (which is NOT the same as yours).  For as much as you deride Bishop Fellay, his attitude toward (what you consider to be) the Holy See is FAR MORE CATHOLIC than yours.  I believe that he's wrong in that I don't think that Bergoglio is the pope, but GIVEN his belief that Bergoglio is the pope, the respect with which he speaks of the Vicar of Christ is nothing short of obligatory for Catholics.

Like I said, triggered^^^

Gaslighters — people who try to control others through manipulation — will often accuse you of behaviors that they are engaged in themselves. This is a classic manipulation tactic.

Excellent perspective.  Thank you.  All the more important when we consider that the few that are here are largely on the same page, so to speak, and our adversarii are incredibly numerous.

Its not necessary to impute bad disposition to your interlocutor,
