Forgive my ignorance, but do SSPX priests have authority over the third order?
Yes, depending upon how the Third Order was set up by the FSSPX.
That being said, it is the third order of the FSSPX. Not the Franciscans, Dominicans, or MICM. So yes, the FSSPX Third Order is subject to the FSSPX.
It's really odd that PV would think dragging the MICM into this is cute or whatever.
Is it wrong for the lay people to be kicked out for supporting the resistance and why?
I think the bigger question is (and here I agree with Fr. Rusak): Why would any member of the Resistance wish to be part of the FSSPX Third Order?
Well, gosh, let's see: Why would any seminarian with Zionist preferences and Liberal passions want to enter the SSPX seminary and become Bursar for ABL, never do any pastoral work, worm his way into the Capitulant satatus, and get elected SG, if he wasn't a mole to begin with?
It just does not make sense.
PV conveniently forgot about the mole option.
As part of the Resistance, one is resisting Mgr. Fellay's leadership of the FSSPX. As a Third Order member of the FSSPX, one is seeking to place oneself spiritually under the FSSPX currently led by Mgr. Fellay.
Have you ever heard of a double agent? I guess not. Next!
Would it not make more sense for someone in this situation to become a Third Order member of the Resistance?
Did you forget again about the .............................. oh, never mind.
