“To me their reluctance demonstrates their lack of Catholicity.”

That’s nice. You sit in judgment rather than the Holy Father?

“That they are unwilling to accept Vatican II is evidence that they again, are not ready.”

What part of a “Pastoral Council” postulates new Dogma? What are you claiming that the SSPX is doing that, in your personal, private judgment, makes them “schismatic”?

Yep, sure do. As I said the Holy Father has been extremely patient with them. I, call ‘em as I see ‘em. If you are offended by my honest assessment of the affairs, then so be it. I’m hoping one day these stiff necks will wake up to the reality that the sooner they submit the better off they will be in the long run.

“What part of a “Pastoral Council” postulates new Dogma?”

When the Pope says it does. That’s how it works, narses. What next? Are you going to argue that the Immaculate Conception isn’t really true, either?

“What are you claiming that the SSPX is doing that, in your personal, private judgment, makes them “schismatic”?”

By refusing to accept Vatican II, they are demonstrating that they are still Schismatic.
