Wessex,
I am not opposed to the Sede view; also not opposed to R&R. You might call me a fence rider; I just say its not my job, nor do I have the authority, to solve the problems of V2.
However, if I was forced at gunpoint, I would choose R&R (but not the sspx version of R&R) simply because to do so is not disobedient, as you and many others repeatedly contend. There is NOTHING - no error - which new Rome has commanded any trad to accept or commit, under pain of sin. So, to disregard their novelties, to ignore their errors, to go right when they go left - this is not "disobedience"! For they have issued no command for us to follow them! This is called following Christ and avoiding the spirit of the world.
Obviously, you disagree. So here is my challenge- please tell me ONE error, or ONE heretical/sinful act that new Rome has commanded Catholics to accept/perform, under pain of sin.
If you can, I'll leave R&R tomorrow. If you cannot, then new Rome, and its popes, and V2, etc, etc can be logically recognized as occupiers of the govt seats of the church, while at the same time, recognized as heretics, for their personal loss of faith. And until they COMMAND that we follow them into error, they can, and must be, ignored.
