I don’t have to rely on generalized stereotypes. I experienced it.

Sigh, we’ve got SSPXers in our family as well. A couple of priests, a nun and countless members. It’s sad, because they are so angry, really in the end that’s the only way to describe it. And yes, the Jews are the root of all the world’s problems in their eyes.

Bizarre.

Obviously, only you know your experiences. But, how are they relevant? I am a Catholic, and attend every week Masses in diocesan Churches. I experience so much hypocrisy every week it is sickening. There are more Obama bumper stickers in our parish parking lot each week than there are otherwise. Does that mean that Catholics are supporters of abortion? If I said that it were so I would be generalising, regardless of my experiences, and I would also be wrong.

The SSPX is certainly erroneous on some issues, and there may be many people within it that are of a mindset I don't like. However, generalising that the SSPX are anti-semites is no different than what is said of the tea parties by the left, or is often said about the Church itself by many. The existence of people within the SSPX who have controversial views regarding Jews does not support your generalisation any more than allegations of epithets supports those allegedly describing the tea parties.
