God rendered Marcel dead as an excommicatus. Also that is SSPX seminaries filled with disobedient anti-Catholic vipers studying to defraud the public in the role of illicitly consecrated priests, consecrated by the excommunicated few. You can put lipstick on these disobedient pigs but pigs they remain.

BlackElk wakes up from hibernation and doesn't waste any time. Haven't noticed you around for a while, but you jump right into your usual routine. It's been a bit boring around here without someone to bring this sort of incisive logic to bear on the situation: "vipers" and "pigs." Well we can't say we haven't been warned.

To be fair, Christ himself was prone to use similar language. But in His case, it was always directed at those who glorified themselves for sticking to the letter of law, while entirely failing to grasp the supernatural reality behind it. Kind of reminds me of certain neo-Catholics who are fond of excommunicating all those who disagree with them, but don't seem to have much grasp of faith, hope or charity.

Max: I don't excommunicate anybody. That's the pope's job. He did Marcel et al. Hopefully, he will extend the list. Like you, I can think of additional appropriate targets for that power.

I am not hibernating. I am just terribly bored by the persistance of the schismatic few in following their excommunicated little cadre of defiant leaders and their rejection of papal authority. I do have a life to live and I have contributed plenty of precious time to opposing the schism. I will no doubt contribute more. It does, however come as a relief to pass the baton to the other actual Catholics here to deal with the schism.

I have the Roman and actual (not the Econian and counterfeit) Catholic Faith in communion with Rome and the pope, have hope in the ecclesiastical sense but there is no reason to hope that schism will not be schism (A is A) but rather hope that it will be luxuriously punished as it should be, and charity does not require dishonesty. The schism is what it is. Its excommunicated fraud/bishops are who and what they are, dead or alive. Its adherent schismatics are what they are. There is such a thing as objective reality.

The Pharisees live on in SSPX and its adherents.

Nice exegesis, by the way.
