Some SV chapels haven't done them for years arguing that the fall of the Iron Curtain and the resurgence of "Faith" in Russia is an intention no longer worth praying for and that a "True Pope" would have canceled them by now.
I've heard this as well. I find it disturbing.
Things like this -- and Raoul76's testimony about how many Sedes are full-blown Americanists -- are some of the many reasons I avoid Sedevacantism like the plague.
The problem with Sedevacantism is that it's something positive. It's a positive declaration or choice. So once you set up that "Sedevacantist" chapel, it's hard to not constantly obsess about that one issue.
Say I started a "European Traditional Catholic chapel" tomorrow. Wouldn't you expect there to be something different about the day-to-day experience at that chapel, compared with your plain vanilla "Traditional Catholic chapel"? Of course you would. And you'd be right! The sermons would probably talk about Europe's role in Divine Providence more than most chapels, the parishioners would probably be above-average against immigration, there would probably be a few neo-nαzιs in the parish, and so forth.
If we didn't do something different, we would be kind of silly to be so specific on our chapel's signage.I like the fruits of Archbishop Lefebvre's lifeboat much, much better. I'll take that lifeboat any day, thanks.
The SSPX's only flaw was getting too large, and consequently too high on themselves. They always had a "we are the Church" mentality gnawing at them (or sitting on their left shoulder with the devil, as it were). I think God has allowed them to fall, to take them down a few pegs.
Now we have the Resistance, which has all the good doctrine and Catholic attitude of +ABL without any of the wealth or numbers (or resulting temptations to rely on human means). God is doing this to us for our own good!
