"but I have been taken to task for acting like a Traditionalist in the face of a schism"

When Russia was a monarchy, the communists were in rebellion against the government. Then the communists became the government. According to the reasoning you are using here, to rebel against the communist government would have made one a communist.

You simply refuse even to acknowledge the argument that the SSPX's disobedience to some men who occupied high office in the Church, and used that power to damage the Church, is loyalty to the higher authority.

drawing an analogy between a Church established by the God-Man, Jesus, and a political entity isn't the most convincing way to begin an arguement.

The Catholic Church is unique and we know from the promises of Christ it cannot fail.
