Are you going to make me repeat myself?
Very well: you cannot make your case by calling attention to the blunders or even malice of your opponent.
The regrettable fact that the AmChurch hierarchy is timid or disobedient does not and can not confer any legitimacy upon the Lefebvrite schism.
I'm beginning to see, if darkly:
"The regrettable fact that the AmChurch hierarchy is timid or disobedient does not and can not confer any legitimacy upon the Lefebvrite schism."
First, since I am not a member of the SSPX, that isn't my direct concern. Second, your logic fails. If the argument the SSPX makes is necessity, and I happen to agree with that argument given the schismatic and heretical nature of the offerings of the Diocese I reside in, then there is a conferring of a form of legitimacy to the resorting to SSPX services by me and my family and many others scared to death by the abuses and outright animosity towards the TRUTH shown by so many prelates of the AmChurch. Poly's observation is one I've made many times. It stands independant of any relationship anyone might have to the SSPX or any other traditional order regardless of the regularity or lack thereof they might have from a strict canonical standpoint.
The REALITY is this -- Rome speaks, America ignores them. Abortion and politcs (poly = many, tics = blood sucking parasites) is just the latest example. I posted two others - altar girls and communion in the hand. There are many more. The seminary issues, the college issues and more.
