If you don't understand your enemy, you end up like +Fellay and company. I had a good teacher, former SSPX priest Father Hector Bolduc (RIP) that understood the enemy, and dealt with them the way the Church teaches us to deal with enemies of the Church. You simply go back to the way it was, UNCHANGED before the Crisis of Faith, and until THEY convert back to Catholicism, you continue to practice the Catholic Faith.
"The Church is where the FAITH is." -- Saint Athanasius
If a person, in their desire to hold onto the Faith, denies the primacy of Peter's successor and refuses submission to a lawful command because of this denial - then they have lost the Faith.
God Bless!

Pray tell, what "lawful commands" have been issued thus far?
God bless!!!
For starters: No Catholic Priestesses.
God Bless!!!
PS. I'll be offline soon for about a week.

Uh.... :roll-laugh1: are you serious? DERP! We already knew that! It's called TRADITION, and there are MULTIPLE publications WHY a WOMAN CANNOT be a priest! For one thing, she's not a MAN and a woman cannot say "This is My Body" as Christ did.
Are you trying to suggest that we're denying the primacy of Peter by saying that he can't say that there can't be women priests?
:stare:
RIDICULOUS!
It's in Tradition. Who cares if Franny or RATzinger said it! WE ALREADY KNOW that's the truth! They didn't have to say it.
Like JPII said "there's no sex in hell." WELL DUH! Did we believe that before? Yeah? So how are we denying anything? These guys are not saying anything infallibly that we need to believe that hasn't already been said.
Give me one example of something that has been infallibly stated that the Catholic Church hasn't already pronounced as something that is required for belief in the last 55 years. You can't do it.
Also, if Franny had said there COULD be women priests, I'd imagine you'd go right along with him according to the way you stated that.

By the way, the Youtube was the theme for Jeopardy, a quiz show that started running in the 1960s and still runs today in America. Sorry you couldn't hear it. The Americans here might find it comical.
