But Stubborn has made it clear he rejects that he needs to submit to the fallible Magisterium at all,
I doubt he believes that. Secondly, how can one "submit" to a magisterium that doesn't require submission?
Many of you throw around the word "submit" without understanding what the word means. The Church requires submission to teachings that are necessary for salvation. V2 and new rome have not required submission and have REPEATEDLY SAID that any novelties should be interpreted 'in the light of Tradition'. Ergo, they are saying that TRUE SUBMISSION is to be given to TRADITION and CONSTANT TRUTHS of our Faith. All else does not require submission, only conditional assent. Conditional assent IS NOT SUBMISSION. It is impossible to submit to a condition.
deciding that any source of what he perceives to be true is as good as any other. Thereby elevating his own interpretations to be on equal footing with the Magisterium.
V2 new-rome has said that any novelties should be interpreted in the light of tradition. If you want to argue that Stubborn's INTERPRETATION is wrong, fine. But you must admit that he's not making stuff up; he's quoting Traditional passages.
That is exactly what the Protestants did, and now they have 23,000 sects because of people just like him.
Protestants questioned INFALLIBLE, DOCTRINAL, DEFINED TEACHINGS. Any catholic who questions V2, which we are allowed to do, is not remotely close to protestantism.

In all my debates with sedevacantists, with very, very few exceptions, the vast majority are quick to call fellow catholics heretics, schismatics, protestants, etc. They are always very quick to judge, condemn and crucify. Deep down, they don't argue to learn or grow, but "to win". It goes to show the true motive of most of these individuals, which is not charity, nor the search for truth (for they have too much pride to be open to the truth, or to admit they could be wrong). Their search is ultimately for the juvenile and immature "feeling" of security, which they MUST have, at all costs, because the crisis in the Church is too much for them to handle emotionally.
Much like Martin Luther, whose heresies were born from a false fear of God and of extreme despair that he would be saved, and who rejected all catholic truths which were remotely connected to his having to worry over hell...So most sedes have an inordinate fear of chaos and error, and of not trusting in their knowledge of Tradition or their prayers for God's wisdom, so they throw out the entire roman curia, even the pope, so to remove the temptation that they would be corrupted. And those catholics who do not follow them into this rash reaction, this self-anointed judgement of rome, and this extreme view of papal adulation, they cast out of their 'pope-less church' and they declare they are the only catholics who "have it right". In their false efforts to protect the Truth, they make themselves the sole authority, to the detriment of their humility and the unity of tradition.
