Oh yeah.......we're heartbroken.
Click on my name and "Find in Forum" and see how much I've written recently. There's plenty to write about and none of it involves SSPX. I hope it stays that way. Most of my contributions to this forum involve apologetics with non-Catholics, an area from which you are conspicuously absent.
Your only appearances around here are for the purposes of posting your own articles, which are invariably about one and only one subject; SSPX. That's pretty lame, if you don't mind me saying so.
Who is it that's obsessed, again?
I'm entirely delighted about the recent motu proprio and will happily welcome all SSPXers with open arms should the excommunications be lifted and they cease their virulent criticisms of the Pope. The former (Latin Mass) was never an issue for me but the latter (trashing the Pope) was and still is. Ironically, it will be your one and only source of journalistic material which will evaporate, not mine:-)
By the way, Tax-chick was correct. This is a vanity. You also qualify for the "shameless self-promotion" award for your constant hawking of your own pieces around here. It's clear you have a desperate need to be considered a contributor of gravitas by your Freeper peers on the SSPX issue. So we get this piece about "Fr. Newman". Forgive me, but I've never heard of him. I think you'll find there's little heat or mileage in this topic. The whole piece reads like you're trying to stir up a controversy.
*Shrug*.......sorry to disappoint you.
Whether or not everyone in the SSPX is in schism, their mean-spirited criticisms of the Pope and their rejection of his authority, in certain areas, are problematic, as is their rejection of the Second Vatican Council. Catholics who go to SSPX Masses risk being led into error by a group that is NOT in communion with the Church.
Moreover, now that the motu proprio has been issued, there is NO excuse for any Catholic to go SSPX chapels. I frankly don’t care if the SSPX ever reconciles with the Church but it would clearly be in their best interests to do so since the motu proprio will reduce their membership as people leave their chapels and return to the Church. Within a generation, the SSPX will be completely irrelevant.
