It sure looks like you and I are not likely to agree anytime soon since you seem bound and determined to reject the authority of John Paul the Great in favor of the terrible behavior of defiance of Marcel the Excommunicated Schismatic.

The Novus Ordo Mass hangs on because bishops reasonably abhor the impudent attitude of the schismatics who claim to speak for tradition while rejecting Church authority. Roger McCaffery who founded Latin Mass Magazine wrote a very wise article there years ago about how it is the liberal bishops who paradoxically have been most generous in allowing Tridentine Masses (probably because they believe that liturgy does not matter or because they want to ghettoize conservative Catholics to their own congregations of like-minded folk where they won't actually see the depredations of the Kumbaya liberal congregations). More conservative bishops with the notable exception of our Rockford conservative bishop Thomas Doran, generally regard the hatred of authority that is the hallmark of Marcel's schism with horror. As a Church, it is easier to survive liturgical follies than to incorporate vicious revolutionary rejection of authority and the anarchy it creates.

Jesus Christ guaranteed that we would survive as a Church in any event but we have no obligation to make the task harder by embracing the markedly unrepentant SSPX vipers. It is a pleasure to reside in the Rockford Diocese where Tridentine worship is made freely available without being sullied by the anarchy that is SSPX.

You know what the nice thing about your posts is? The amount of demonic hatred you spew for the Society drives people straight to the Society. If people embrace the same faith as you do they will end up just like you. What an example.

By their fruits you will know them.

Unlike some of the others on the thread I do enjoy most of your posts and hope you continue here.
