Yes indeed. I wonder who chose them, French speaking Bishop Fellay speaking Italian in the original interview, the person who translated it from Italian to English, or the "journalists" of the CNA articles who seem to try to fit the words "schismatic" and "excommunicated" in as many sentences as possible in any article about the SSPX. Hmmm.
“its adherents remain defiant, disobedient, disrespectful of papal authority, and revolutionaries against Holy Mother the Church to this day”
Sounds like you are talking about some of the “in communion” parishes at which I have attended Mass.
I can only hope that the Holy Father and the SSPX folks find a way to fix this breakdown so that the rest of the church can focus on the loss of reverence and faith that is so apparent in such a great number of our “in communion” parishes and dioceses.
I agree -- but considering the weeping and gnashing of teeth and general caterwauling over the MP "rolling back the reforms [sic] of Vatican II," the Anvil Chorus greeting something like that would be deafening! (Popcorn time?)
