If your position is this then I commend you, and I hope you will stick to it.
But like I said, given your resistance friends on this forum, I have my doubts, but what am I, nothing, except a potential source of cash for priests when I go to latin mass.
I cannot, in good conscience, find affinity in the scandalous posters like neil obstat and others. That is just me, but maybe being new to the SSPX is a good thing, because I retain my outside perspective. I know people dont want to lose the tradition they have grew up with, but they have lost sight of the big picture, they must be part of the church. The faith does not provide for a situation where a part of the church is permitted to stay independent of the others, we as Catholics believe in communion with other Catholics, and that means being part of the church and under the same pope. Btw I dont read the posts of neil obstat anymore. The reasons are obvious. Anyone who looks at this forum who is not in the resistance will share my views and will see my point. People can down thumb me all they want, but it does not change the facts that the big picture is on my side, and that no one, except the most convoluted weirdo will be drawn to the resistance, with all of its cօռspιʀαcιҽs and hatred of the SSPX "apostates and communists and modernists". Surely this whole thing is ridiculous. It is truly obscene. The SSPX are now "modernists" according to your friends??
Let me ask those who down thumbed me: What right have you got to contradict a validly consecrated Catholic Bishop who spent a life time promoting tradition? You think he has just lost the faith or something? But where is YOUR faith?
I speak of course of Bishop Fellay. ( the "weasel" according to Bishop williamson)
We are just lay people. We cannot question the hierarchy. The church does not work like that.
To think otherwise shows that traditionalists are becoming infected with the protestant spirt.
Aarrrrghhhhh . . . reading your post is like being subjected to a verbal Chinese water torture . . .
His posts make me feel like I've been crammed head-first onto a tilt-a-whirl ride and forced to read gibberish in upside down olde English as I'm spun at maximum speed.
Thanks - I was beginning to think I was the only one . . . you should read is most recent in the General section, under Congrats to the new saints - total contradiction of many things he has said in the past. Be careful, though, this problem child has many caretakers![/color] :baby:
This problem child has no caretakers, if anybody cared for him they would nurse him back to spiritual health and common sense; some mother's milk from Holy Mother Church might help. But note well-- he's "new to the SSPX", yet he already knows that he's "just a source of cash to the priests when he attends the Latin Mass." Boy, it didn 't take him long to realize that Fellay just wants his cash!
But, then again, how dare we "contradict Fellay, who was validly consecrated and spent his lifetime promoting tradition?" How would this poor soul who is "new to the SSPX," know whether Fellay was validly consecrated?? Doesn't he know that his buddy, John Paul excommunicated Fellay??? That's right-- kicked him straight out of the Roman concliar church--lock,stock and barrel!
Doesn't he know that Fellay accepted "consecration" at the hands of Bishop Antonio de Castro Meyer-- who rejected ALL of the Vatican II? He rejected all its dicuмents, all its teachings, all its heresies, and ALL the popes coming from the council!
Doesn't this poor soul realize that Fellay was ordained and consecrated by an enemy of the conciliarists in Rome? By an opponent of Ratzinger, whom Lefebvre said was not even a Catholic? Doesn't he realize that Fellay was ordained by a bishop suspended from all priestly functions?
So why be so concerned that "you are only a source of cash for the priest when you attend the latin mass?" What do they presby-ters expect of you on the other days, when you don't attend the Latin mass?
And since Fellay was consecrated by an open sede-vacantist and two excommunicated bishops, how can one say "galidly" consecrated? , especially when one's concilisr church has rejected Fellay, and stated he should turn himself into a monastery for punishment.
But, more seriously, how can one say Fellay had dedicated his life to tradition? GREC's entire reason for existence is to bring all the traditional groups INTO the conciliar church; and Fellay has spent almost his entire life as a bishop whoring around with his frllow GRECites and conciliarists to soften the stance, weaken the faith, and surrepticiously slide the SSPX into the false, modernist, conciliar Roman church? Only an uninformed soul can pretend that Fellay has spent his life supporting tradition.
