Cite your sources please. There's a whole lot of garbage here--a lot of it not in your own language. Whom are you quoting?

By the way, when the Archbishop said the Pope belonged to a mafia--he meant this metaphorically. He was referring to the modernist claque now running the Vatican, not the Mob. And he was absolutely right. They did unprecedented violence to the Catholic faith. The prayer meetings at Assisi, for instance, were scandalous and an offense against the first commandment. The Archbishop did right to object vociferously and adamantly since the Pope gave huge scandal to the world of Christianity--twice, just to rub it in to those who objected. People like you who claim he is an orthodox pope need only take a look at these kinds of actions to realize such a description of this radical pontiff is ridiculous on the face of it.

I also can accept that the Archbishop may have celebrated the Novus Ordo at St. Peter's once or twice. It was his way to lean over backwards to be compliant with the Holy See, even when it stuck in his craw to do so. It was why he signed the Protocol--even when it contained no promise for any traditionalist consecrations as had been discussed but only a vague suggestion that the subject would be left to the Pope's discretion. He did not want a break with Rome--but Rome pushed him to the wall--until finally he pushed back in the name of the true faith. The entire Catholic Church should be eternally grateful he did since he struck a huge blow in favor of the ancient Mass--and for the ancient Catholic faith. Thank God for his courage in the face of such unprecedented dishonesty and abuse of power.
