Hence, the society must, as a principle, want to submit to the authority of Rome - the fact that prudence has prevent her from coming to an agreement is immaterial - she must always want to submit. If ever she does not, she would be no different from the sedevacanists and Orthodox. If the society did not want to submit to the authority of Rome as a principle, she would be, by definition, schismatic. And the society have always held this principle: when Rome calls she answers, she has never refuse discussions with Rome.
Hence Fr Simoulin recent atricle "... it is not possible to think that one is in communion with the Church independently of the Pope, acting as though he did not exist, refusing all contact and all dealings with him, and not seeking to establish relations that enable us to accept his jurisdiction while refusing to compromise with his errors. All this is difficult, delicate, risky, and whatever else you want to call it—granted. But not to desire this, or even to reject it a priori, is to reject communion with the Church as she was constituted by Jesus Christ and as she lives in 2014.
And this is what the "no agreement without Rome's conversion" principle is: it rejects a priori the authority of Rome.[/quote]
Really? Sede's do not "a priori" refuse roman authority, or whatever you are trying to claim. They do in fact, so accept the authority of Rome that they cannot grant it to blatant heretics. They don't accept Michael Bowden either, does that make them schismatic? Don't be a boob, they may be incorrect in their conclusions, but they do accept the papacy, so much love for it do they have that they can't accept these obvious fools as holding the office, based on theology. If Obama isn't American by birth, and if he fixed the election, he would be a Usurper, not a legitimate president. How could a heretic be anything less? Just because you have the funny hat and the acclaim of the Jєωιѕн media, how can one be pope if not a Catholic? All this hub bub. Call a spade a spade. The SSPX is co-opted.
