Let me give you an analogy. Breaking and entering a private house is unlawful in most circumstances. But if the house is on fire and some people are trapped inside, and if I break and enter in order to save those people, I am NOT guilty of any offense. If I am nevertheless accused by authorities of breaking and entering, whereas in fact I was entering to save the lives of people trapped inside, it would be the authorities who would be morally wrong, not I. They would be acting unjustly.

You are saying the Pope is right simply because he is the lawful authority, not because there is justice in his claims against SSPX. That is a narrow and unjust perception--the essence of Pharisaic thinking. Technically, there is an offense--but morally there is none.

Let me give you an analogy. Breaking and entering a private house is unlawful in most circumstances. But if the house is on fire and some people are trapped inside, and if I break and enter in order to save those people, I am NOT guilty of any offense.

Except the owner of the house says there is no fire., he was BBQing out back. The fire department came out on a false alarm.

There is a crisis in the Church, people pick and choose. The Mass isn't the problem, it is people not believing that the Church is One Holy Catholic and Apostolic. If people really understood that as the Church is Unified in God's Grace, for all men everywhere, from the time of Christ, we would all act differently.

The SSPX is trying to run off with the property of the Church claiming it is no longer Holy, and that only the 1962 Missal is a Holy Mass. In that analogy the SSPX broke in thinking there was a fire and took property not belonging to it, then claiming it was destroyed in the fire.

You are saying the Pope is right simply because he is the lawful authority, not because there is justice in his claims against SSPX.

On the face, the SSPX is claiming something it isn't entitled to claim. You must have to Pope's consent to be in union with him. Only Christians in Union with the Pope can call themselves Catholic, that is, with the Church of Christ started by Christ for all mankind. Being in Union with the Pope requires not just lip service, but actual service.

Furthermore, the SSPX commits a fraud against frightened Catholic lay people, telling them the Church is no longer following Christ's plan, the Novus Ordo is flawed, and that the Pope is committing acts of paganism, without a shred of real proof. People are scared, and the SSPX depends on this fear, just like Satan depends on fear.
