I got kicked off a thread on the SSPX for bashing it yesterday.

Please don't use this thread on the Pope to bash him and promote the SSPX. (your posts implies that you are with the group)

I didn't bring up the SSPX. I talked about St. Pius X, a recognized and Sainted Pope (one of two in 8 centuries) of the Catholic Church. I wish JPII had been in his mold as opposed to the mold of John XXIII.

If you read what I posted, you'll see that I said, no one is in disagreement with his "better late than never" statement.

It's not to bash him that I bring this up. It's to bring these "Whoo HOOO! RAh Rah Rah! JPII! People a little perspective on what they should be expecting from a strong Pope. They are ready to present him with a medal for saying these words that everyone who knows the commandments could figure out.

If in a few days the Vatican has leaks and prelates undermining and backpedaling on the issue. It will be a bitter disappointment for those who think "he's really taking it to the streets now!"

Okay, you misinformed person, get this: ONLY PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS ARE MEMBERS OF THE SSPX! Also, UR isn't really bashing. He's pointing out that it shouldn't be a surprise that the Pope is making such statements because they are, essentially, a repeat of what the Church has always taught( of course, in his usual manner). Now, when some people go on an SSPX thread and say they (those going to the Masses and the SSPX itself) are separated from the Church and those who go to their masses are schismatic simply because they go to hear Mass, etc..., you are bashing. The reasoning here is that the Vatican has made it quite clear that one can fulfill ones Sunday obligation by going. Anyway, you admit you bashed, so that makes you some kind of hypocrite.

Thank you! The schismatics love nothing more than to grab every opportunity to accuse the Holy Father of things which are beyond his control.

I maintain a catholic ping list. Please freepmail me if you would like to be added to the list.
