I'm a Catholic in good standing. You may not like that I attend the traditional Mass at an SSPX chapel, but it's perfectly licit, even by Rome's own admission. I have never denied the legitimacy of the papacy nor of this pope--though I believe he's a bad pope. That's the way I see it. It may not make me a favorite around here, but it doesn't make me a schismatic either. Your saying so is slanderous--but it's routine with you and I'm used to it. The truth is, I am very much in the Church and receive the sacraments with a clear conscience.

You may be a PhD and have excellent comprehension for all I know. However,judging from your comments,you seem to be unaware that the topic of this thread concerns what the Pope said about morals in his soon to be published book. Stay on topic or be prepared to be viewed as a person who doesn't comprehend what he is reading or doesn't understand how to respond.

If you teach,spent a semester on World War II and developed your final to gage what your students had learned,would you give high marks to the student who turned in his test with a very comprehensive description of the French Revolution?

You are a schismatic by virtue of you clear, documented, "affinity" to SSPX--just as was declared by Rome.

Naturally, as with all men, denial is your first line of defense.
