I don't need to explain anything to you and you needn't explain anything to me BUT someday you will have to explain why you are consistantly so hateful and merciless and condescending to those whom you are ordained to minister to.

Are you morphing into an SSPXer?

The SSPX is leading many faithful Catholics astray, colleen. I give as good as I get. You look around here and decide who picks the fights in the Catholic Caucus.

I am NOT ordained to minister to schismatics. In fact, permanent deacons wouldn't be recognized in the SSPX.

Is the SSPX priest wrong in his statement that the bishop who made the above (in italics) is stating/teaching heresy?

No, with qualifications.

Another major advantage identified! Thanks Sinkspur for putting your finger on one of the great things about the SSPX.

I don't just blanket condemn the SSPXers and that doesn't mean I am thinking of joining up with them. I hope and pray for a full reconciliation between them and Rome, in fact.

They are not mistaken on some points - this thread being one instance of that - and you would have to have blinders on to say otherwise.

Quite a few non-SSPX bishops and priests and nuns are leading people astray too, sinkspur. Sometimes out in the open but mostly through what they don't say and don't teach. The confusion in the pews is heartbreaking.

You say you "give as good as you get" but I wasn't aware that a deacon of the Catholic Church checked his deaconhood at the parish door when he left for the day.
