Why should we argue ad hominem? Mr. Vere's opinion is not worth much. What is worth more than all the Veres and all the popes and all the bishops in the world--is the Faith. The Faith is what must be preserved in the face of the systematic modernist onslaught against traditional Catholic beliefs.

SSPX preserves the Catholic faith as it was believed and practiced before the Council and before the New Mass came into vogue, both of which gave modernism the illegitimate means whereby to wreck the Faith. SSPX is the Faith, no more and no less. It is the Faith that had been practiced for 2000 years. Why should the opinion of this individual matter against the enormousness of this reality?

Why do you suppose Rome is so frantic for a raprochement with SSPX? Do you think it is out of reasons of charity? It is for one reason and one reason only: because the Society preserves intact the existence of the Church before the very dogmas of the Church had been openly brought into question (the Real Presence, the Resurrection, the Divinity of Christ) and before Scripture itself has been openly opposed by Catholic churchmen in high office (the new perspective on the Jews).

So this guy who quit the SSPX is small beer. He is of no real importance, whatever he thinks. There are many reasons to leave SSPX, not least among them the perks one receives afterwards from people of the sort that publish Envoy. What is of importance, what is vitally important, is the Faith itself, which is what SSPX is all about.

Very nice post, but don't be surprised if we see ad hominem attacks on Mr. Vere.

Why so defensive ahead of time? Is it because you're uncomfortable with the fact that the author of this article is an ex-Satanist, whose mentor after he left the SSPX was a homosexual abuser slash liturgical deconstructor, and who now spends his time watching professional wrestling (whenever he's not busy attacking Catholic tradition)?
