MaryJane's comments are reminiscent of the naive legal attitudes of European xSPX priests:
Just a few examples:
1. Fr. Emily used to comment frequently, that you could shut people-up by suing them in a court of law.
2. Bp. Fellay is notorious for threatening lawsuits. If you recall the French book publisher who published +ABL's 238 sermons. Fellay chased him down in the courts, claiming he had copyrighted the sermons. He never produced his evidence in court.
3. The following year, Father Rostand confronted a Catholic in the coffee room at the Carson City Mission chapel and accused them of violating the law by having read the 238 sermons. He even pulled out his smartphone to record the his conversation with the man.
4. In Indiana a few years ago, the same Father Rostand bullied an independent chapel, just south of Indianapolis, blustering that if the faithful didn't sign over the property to the xSPX, "... they open another chapel down the street and put them out of business."
Yes, how sad, we don't sense the Holy Spirit running the affairs of the xSPX. More like masonic lawyers have their mind-share.
It will be justice, if the xSPX is engaged in a big American lawsuit. They won't have so many
legal resources as in Europe and are likely to be humbled, as they should be.
