First of all, the generic term "Resistance" has been used about a thousand times over the past century. Everything from the "French Resistance" under nαzι occupation, to countless movies in the past 20 or 30 years.

And while Trump isn't a saint, he certainly is fighting against the most dominant group of bad guys holding the reins of government worldwide, commonly known as the "Deep State". He is actively fighting the Deep State, and so it would be bad if anyone thought I was against Trump. Besides, being against Trump usually implies being a Democrat, a party which is increasingly dominated by the radical left. The Democratic Party is more and more embracing open Socialism! This is ironic since Democrats often call their opponents "nαzιs", even though nαzι actually means National Socialist. But I digress...

But today, if you do a search for "Resistance", what comes up more and more is the probably fake anti-Trump "Resistance" within the White House itself, and nationwide. But even if it's just a few communists or extremists, their number would quickly outnumber our small SSPX Resistance, and easily overwhelm the public mindshare. Especially since the MSM is talking about the "Resistance" now. How can CathInfo and a few even smaller websites compete?

I know that many of us in the Resistance haven't liked the name from the beginning. Bishop Williamson (who used the term as recently as the last E.C.) still defines the term almost every time he uses it, and still places it in quotes like he's almost embarrassed to use the term.

But ever since the infamous anonymous op-ed in the failing New York Times, I can't glance at the MSM without groaning every time they use the term "Resistance".

It's difficult to come up with another term though, without requiring that EVERYONE join the SAJM or something. We all used to be SSPX. Now the only thing we all have in common is A) the Catholic Faith and B) our pedigree: we all came from the SSPX.

If we started calling ourselves generic "Traditional Catholics" or stopped distinguishing chapels as "Resistance", we'd be losing some information. Because frankly, calling a chapel "Resistance" does tell people in a nutshell what you'll be getting: a valid priest trained well by the SSPX, no truck with modernist Rome, a non-sedevacantist priest and Mass, the 1962 Missale, etc.

When a term carries and imparts useful information, it is useful and people are going to use it.

Ex-SSPX sounds a bit negative.

Lefebvrite certainly sounds like a cult or Protestant group. And we're not just following Archbishop Lefebvre anyhow; it's the Faith he maintained that we follow.

Note: RR (Recognize and Resist) could be confused with the RR political figure (Rod Rosenstein) currently in the DOJ.
Why not call yourselves the True Traditional Catholics (TTC)?
Or what about Genuine Traditional Catholics (GTC)?
Would Genuine True Traditional Catholics (GTTC) be better even though it is a redundant mouthful?

If nothing else works, there is always the Original SSPX! Hey, why not reclaim that name. Would the wolves at SSPX sue?

I think it's a fundamental problem: identifying with a given group in the past, but not being willing/able to create a single replacement group.

Then there's this problem -- adding yet another adjective makes us sound like Protestants (but let's face it: we have the same problem as the Prots since our one principle of unity has been destroyed -- the Pope)

Read this famous joke:

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump. I ran over and said: "Stop. Don't do it."
"Why shouldn't I?" he asked.
"Well, there's so much to live for!"
"Like what?"
"Are you religious?"
He said: "Yes."
I said: "Me too. Are you Christian or Buddhist?"
"Christian."
"Me too. Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
"Protestant."
"Me too. Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
"Baptist."
"Wow. Me too. Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?"
"Baptist Church of God."
"Me too. Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?"
"Reformed Baptist Church of God."
"Me too. Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?"
He said: "Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915."
I said: "Die, heretic scuм," and pushed him off.

I still say that we stick with "traditional catholic".  Those who attend the indult are NOT traditional, which is easy to explain.

Also, once the sspx "makes a deal" with rome, they'll change their name when they merge with the fssp, so the 'resistance' can go back to the SSPX, since they still follow +Lefevbre.

Look at how frog-boiled and out of touch the neo-SSPX and anti-Resistance crowd is. They have been attending the neo-SSPX and drinking the Kool-aid for too long.

They are starting to forget that there's a Crisis in the Church! Which doesn't surprise me, since that's precisely what the neo-SSPX is all about: emphasizing the good in Vatican II, saying it's not so bad, inviting conciliar bishops and priests to their chapels and seminaries, and in general having as much truck with the Conciliar Church as possible.

Of course they're going to be taken aback when I casually mention the Pope being disabled, or "no longer there as a principle of unity".

He immediately jumps to Sedevacantism, and all that flows from that conclusion (things that I've said myself about sedevacantism, namely: when are we going to have another Pope, will we ever have another one, how will we know he is a true Pope, etc.)
He then spins off into left field, talking about the Church defecting, abandoning the Church, suggesting we're no longer Catholic, etc.

All because we don't consider Pope Francis a principle of unity for Catholics, or anything resembling a Pope we can follow or get anywhere near. Pope Francis! Seriously, are we both talking about the same man?

It just shows you how out-of-touch and brainwashed those attending the neo-SSPX chapels have become. The neo-SSPX propaganda kool-aid has finally made it to their brains, making swiss cheese out of their former Traditional Catholic common sense.

Matthew,

How about Traditional Catholic Resistance?  I don't think that would be readily construed as anti-Trumpian or anything else misleading.

But I have other more important fish to fry, as follows:.

I.    You say:  

"We have the same problem as the Prots since our one principle of unity has been destroyed -- the Pope."

I don't see how this can be read as meaning anything but that now there is no pope.  Is that what you mean to say?  

       If it is, can you explain how this can be Catholic?  What pops into my head is the following slogan:  TRADITIONAL EX-CATHOLIC RESISTANCE: ABANDONING THE CHURCH TO SAVE IT.

       If you deny that it means that there is no pope, what does it mean?.  Will there never be another pope? Might there be another pope? Will there definitely be another  pope? And what are the implications of your yes         answer going forward?

II.    Has the Church defected?  If not, why not? If so, why so, and where does the Traditional Ex-Catholic Resistance go from here?

III.    If you're no longer Catholic, you're welcome to my slogan, including use of the name separate from the slogan.  

In caritate,
John McFarland

The only issue then is using the sub-phrase "SSPX" in our name. That might be legally copyrighted.
Fr. Chazal sidesteps this by calling it Marian Corps of St. Pius X, or MCSPX.  Nobody can "own" a saint's name or initials.
But the SOCIETY of St. Pius X is a registered entity.
