Desperation is an adjective which you ought to recognize, as it applies to SSPX and its FR adherents.

Roman Catholics are not desperate; rather, we are quite confident in Bishop Bruskewitz.

Too bad Rome rolls their eyes at his blusters. His decree was as legitimate as the one directed towards the vindicated Hawaii six.

"Desperation is an adjective which you ought to recognize, as it applies to SSPX and its FR adherents"

What a silly statement. If the SSPX were so desperate and unsure of itself, then why was it Rome who initiated the overtures for reconciliation? And please don't tell me it was out of some motive of charity. Baloney. Rome was embarrassed by the scandal represented by its own intolerance for the Church's own past and for Catholic Tradition in general. People can put two-and-two together, they can smell Rome's modernism a mile away, they understand that intolerance for Catholic Tradition exists on a very profound level. Contrariwise, the SSPX knows it holds onto the traditional faith, that it is preserving the Catholic heritage in the face of Rome's intensifying corruption. That is why it is content to accept the slanders of people like you--and Bishop Bruskewitz. By such persecutions, despite its many human faults, it grows in sanctity and more and more resembles Christ.
