Apoplectic???? Not at all. I despised dead excommunicated schismatic Marcel's attitude and pretensions when the old miscreant rebel was alive. I despise him and his love slaves now that he is dead. Total humiliation of the schismatics and profound penance should be the only path to Rome for the schismatic excommunicati.
Do you suppose that the SSPX admires the "Chinese Patriotic Church" because it is a naked tool of the Chicoms used for agitprop against the Vatican or only because the CPC uses the Tridentine Mass???? Maybe it is the CPC's contempt for all things Vatican? Or maybe because the Chicom bosses of the CPC have martyred so many priests, bishops, nuns and lay Catholics who died in communion with the Vatican???? SSPX is already very much like the CPC in that both are institutions of the excommunicated. Fellay is admitting entirely too much for his own good.
"SSPX is already very much like the CPC in that both are institutions of the excommunicated."
Why then are so many Catholic dioceses in the U.S. giving faculties to visiting CPC padres?
