    The fact that their LEADERSHIP has lost its way, along with a good % of the priests, including all those in leadership positions, spells doom for the SSPX at least on an earthly level. It would take a supernatural miracle, a mass conversion/purge, to purify and turn around the SSPX at this point. Don't kid yourself for a minute.

    Remember, it doesn't take supernatural virtue to hate the Novus Ordo. The Novus Ordo is revolting on a natural level (especially for men). It doesn't take grace or supernature to be turned off by that. Nor does it take supernature/grace to be attracted to the beauty of the Tridentine Mass, pre-Vatican II architecture, Gregorian chant, good art, etc.

    I, for one, do not kid myself that there are serious problems in the SSPX. Fortunately, there is an excellent older priest at the SSPX chapel that I occasionally attend. Thank goodness he wasn't moved this last year. I do dread the day when he is moved, because it means that a younger, less well-formed priest may replace him. But I'll still probably go there anyway. Gotta get the sacraments from somewhere.

    Well, Bp. Williamson was quite critical of sedevacantism in a recent interview that he gave - maybe you saw some of it, since it was posted here a couple of months back. It's the one where he talks with E. Michael Jones. [He gives his criticisms after E. Michael Jones leaves the interview]. However, despite his criticism of sedevacantism, he does not condemn sedevacantists, nor does he call them heretics or schismatics. He would never do that. Nor does any Resistance bishop or clergy do that, that I know of. That's one reason why I support them. They don't condemn other trads.

    Not that you condemn anyone, 2Vermont, which I appreciate. I'm not referring to you at all.
    No, I did not see it probably because I've tried to stay out of the sede vs non-sede debates. I try not to "condemn" others [ie. call them heretics or schismatics] ....if only because I've seen sedes condemned all too often.
