That onward march is the problem, not this or that small symptom.
Yes. It is an onward march, on the part of the Society,
back to a “church” which the Archbishop one time described as a church to which he no longer wished to belong. ABL declared that its Episcopal ranks were full of “anti- Christs.” He concluded that it was an “apostate” church, led by men who were themselves apostates, men with names like Kasper, McCarrick, Pell, O’Brien, Law, and Montini.
This is the “church” with which Pagliarani, Fellay, Phluger, and Schmidberger, are presently negotiating, seeking feverishly for any way that might lead to practical reunification. What a fool’s errand they are on.
The so-called pope with whom they are dealing is probably an anti-pope. He may not even be a Catholic. But he is certainly a heretic. Of that there can be no doubt.
The SSPX has made its bed, and now they must lie in it. Short skirts and female staff in pants are the least of their problems.
