Luther could not have said it better and he was wrong too, to say nothing of disobedient, defiant, impertinent, and impudent, among other similar qualities shared with those who have joned with Lefebvre. And, as to Honolulu, you might add the homosexual scandal which brought down Ferrario: stashing a former altar boy-toy in a San Francisco apartment for Ferrario to access on weekends and Ferrario's resentment of being outed. There is a teensy bit more to the story than you admit for obvious reasons.

No, the perversions of the Bishop of Honolulu should have had nothing to do with the decision of Ratzinger's office. But they are instructive. Here you had a corrupt bishop prohibiting Catholic women from attending SSPX Masses and ceremonies. The women wanted to worship God devoutly, the bishop wanted to extend his power. The situation is actually emblematic of the entire modernist Church which rules corruptly and in defiance of Catholic Tradition. SSPX is the corrective to this disordered situation.
