The text is mine, except the "Note on "Integrism / Integrists" paragraph.

I purposely did not directly address the issues raised in the article or in the SSPX bishop's interview. I just want to strongly warn average Catholics to not wade lightly into this schismatic traditionalist quagmire. I have lost close friends to this sinister and seductive set of errors (again, the schismatic traditionalists errors, not the traditionalists who simply prefer the Tridentine mass while accepting the validity of the new mass.)

Once in the tar pit, it is very hard to get back out. I almost fell in myself, and I'm currently trying to extricate 2 others at present.

Anyone who is familiar with the history of Church Councils should be aware that they have usually stirred up as much dust as they have settled. It took more than 50 years and the deaths of some Arian emperors to settle that question even in the Empire and another three hundred years for the heresy to lose its power. I may be optimistic, but I see nothing in this flap that can't be settled by a few dozen funerals, although Lord knows how long it will take for Liberalism, the new Arianism, to be defeated.
