It was watching the vicious ranting of its detractors and the calm, measured responses of its defenders that first piqued my interest in the controversy. It was clear which side was acting like liberals.

You are not the only one. Many defenders of the SSPX have been contacted privately by lurkers for just those reasons.

One thing I am sure of, though: the vituperation of some of the society's detractors does a lot to create sympathy for them, and little or no harm to them.

God's genius at allowing evil in order to bring about a greater good is awesome.

Absolutely, but I'd get a lot more sleep if I had a script.

You've got to be kidding. SSPXers give as good as they get. All the vituperation should cease but to portray the SSPX as poor little victims is ridiculous. Invective has been part of the Lefebvrist movement from the start.
