Now, now, sinkspur. You know that's not true. It is you who are outside the Roman Catholic Church. How old is your new "church" - about 40 years old, I think. Mine is around 2,000 years old, unchanged and unchangeable. You must miss that dignity and grace.
You're delusional on this subject.
The SSPX is OUTSIDE the Roman Catholic Church because it is NOT in union with the Pope.
Convolutions, shadings, distortions, protestations notwithstanding.
Last time I check sinkspur's Bishop wasn't excommunicated. Yours was.
Its kind of funny that you accuse him of being in a "new" church only 40 years old, when the illicit order you follow around, and which makes up your entire little "church" was founded in 1970-71. Something about people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones comes to mind.

As will you and your fellow schismatics soon enough. Anytime a sect attempt to seize a charism of the Church for itself it is not long before it becomes distorted. Those who sought to use the Bible as their own and not as a document of the Church distorted its meaning. Just the same in seizing upon the traditional mass which belongs to the Church it will become distorted.
Since when do claims of antiquity help one determine who is right?
If that is the case, the Jews of 2000 years ago had every right to point at the new followers of Jesus and tell them they were a bunch of upstarts.
