Let Fr. Z join the SSPX. That is where the true Church is since the Holy See is no longer fully Catholic.

I have a problem with this.

While we may be witnessing one of the most diabolical of revolutions from within the Church has ever undergone, for SSPX to aver it's the real Church flies in the face of Christ's promises re: his vicar on earth.

You had an excellent and what I thought was a fair criticism of JPII the other day. I agree with everything you said. But the fact remains that JPII hasn't actually departed from Church teaching regardless his sins of omission, negligence, startling actions or liberal philosophical bent. Not the best Pope we've ever had (save where rave ticket sales are concerned, perhaps) but certainly not the worst either.

If SSPX wishes to assert that it is the "true Church," I'd prefer they appoint their own Pope and be done with it.
