The attitudes expressed in all but one of these posts are of disdain and disrespect.
What have these men done to earn your obvious disgust?
For TGK, here is what you wanted. 🤮
Kindly check your attitudes at the door.
You can stop the sanctimonious snowflaking now. You greatly hyperbolize in referring to the attitude as that of "disgust" or even "disdain". Even "disrespect", certainly, but it's only half directed at them, and even it's more about the SSPX, the neo-SSPX than about any of the individuals here. We all recognize that they could in fact be very holy men.
But the fact remains is that the ONLY REASON THAT THEY WERE CONSIDERED IS BECAUSE THEY ARE COMPANY MEN WHO HAVE GONE ALONG WITH THE UPDATING OF THE SSPX, THE COMPROMISES, AND THE NEO-SSPX ORIENTATION.
"You betcha" that this earns our "disrespect". SSPX / neo-SSPX would NOT have chosen "old school" types with even a hint of sympathy for the cause of the Resistance. Nor would the SSPX ever select those who are capable of independent thought, but want only those who are obsequious to the company line, having been brainwashed into considering blind obedience to SSPX superiors as a virtue, while thinking it "no biggie" to disobey the "Vicar of Christ".
Your attitude, perhaps somewhat understandable for a female, in believing "nitheness" to be the ultimate virtue ... and that we need to accept such weakness of character, and of theology, and doctrine, on account of some emotional consideration ... those types of things lead to the crisis. We should have no tolerance for error, since even a mustard seed of error magnifies over time and souls can be lost, many souls. As Bishop Williamson said when walking through both sides of this "nitheness dialogue", where he had his imaginary interlocutor ask, "Why won't you be nithe? Don't you like me?" ... and +Williamson responds, "No! I DESPISE YOU." ... since ideas, doctrine, theology, they matter so much more than feelings (as woman have a hard time recognizing).
Father Cekada one time said about the early days of Econe that you had the "hard-liners" and the "soft-liners", and then the "+Lefebvre-liners" (or now "Pagliarani-liners"), and when +Lefebvre leaned toward a hard line, the soft-liners were purged. Then, when he leaned toward the soft line, then the hard-liners were purged. And the only ones who consistently survived, made it through, and were promoted and appointed as superiors even were the "+Lefebvre-liners", who basically thought whatever the leadership thought on any given day, even if it was the opposite of what they thought the day before. Those are the lukewarm types who need to be vomitted forth ...
