Therefore, +ABL, the neo-SSPX and the "resistance" Bishop Williamson were, and remain wrong in embracing and promoting the 1962 Missal.

And yet, these men (including the largest Trad organization ever, the SSPX) have done more good for the Catholic Church and for souls in a few hours' time than you will accomplish in your lifetime. So there's that.

It's easy to talk smack. At least when priests/bishops duke it out in public you have two men who have given their lives for Christ disagreeing about a disputed matter. It really slays me, though, when armchair theologian laymen presume to judge men who have given their *all* for the cause of Jesus Christ and the salvation of souls.

I'm sorry, but even if you were a member of a Third Order you'd still fall far short of the complete donation of self that being a priest entails.

These priests have voted with their LIVES. In the game of life, they went ALL-IN. Let's at least acknowledge that fact. Could they be wrong, and you right, about this one issue? Maybe. But they earned the right to choose which Missale to use, which organization/bishop should be trusted, etc.

These priests need more guts to go out in public for 2 hours (dressed in full clerical garb as they are) than most of us are required to have over a months' time. These men witness to the Faith 24/7. And not just in nice conservative or Catholic parts of the country. Places like New York. And in all times, too, such as the early 2000's when the "clerical abuse scandals" were front-and-center in the media cycle.

So you'll excuse me for trusting these bishops and priests, whose biographies read like the lives of saintly missionary priests of old, rather than the opinion of some rando on an Internet forum.

With all due respect to the priest who claims that, his assertion is asinine ("of or pertaining to a donkey"). It is an insult to anyone who has been spiritually harmed by the Novus Ordo. It downplays the evil of the Novus Ordo.

He's also mathematically challenged.  I think that it's probably .01% Novus Ordo at best if you do the math around 2 words out of however many there are in the Mass.

Yes, it's bad.
Why?  Because it represents Bugnini's masonic prototype for de-sacralizing the Tridentine Mass by butchering the liturgy of the Church's most Holy Week.  What was left of the traditional Church did not resist it.
Which contributed to the eventual substitution of the Tridentine Mass with the Novus ordo missae. 
The 1962 Missal represents part of newChurch's "slow-boil" conspiracy, as endorsed by the jєω-pope, Paul VI.
Therefore, +ABL, the neo-SSPX and the "resistance" Bishop Williamson were, and remain wrong in embracing and promoting the 1962 Missal.


This is hysterical baloney!!

Many Resistance members are/were resisting the changes in the SSPX starting in the mid 2000's and culminating with the acceptance of Novus Ordo ordinations into the SSPX priesthood and the slow acceptance of the conciliar church within the society itself. Potential invalid ordinations were the last straw.
This was one of the reasons "The Nine" wrote their letter to ABL in 1983.  They saw some of the same issues/concerns mentioned in this thread at that time.

I've been asking the same question going on a decade.  I never have been quite certain whom the "Resistance" is resisting.  Is it the sspx?  Is it the Conciliar Church?  Or is it, perhaps, a combination of the two?
My impression, from being on this forum for about a decade now, is it's a combination of the two.
