But he's a good soldier and has to live with the Pope on a daily basis. So he goes along with a bad thing--as many priests do, unless they reach a breaking point.

Which would make them bad soldiers.

I heard a sermon on obedience and humility today. It occurred to me that SSPX priests might have to gloss over those virtues.

Prediction time:  you'll hear about blind obedience... if the pope ordered us to become canabalists, Tridentine rite save by Lefebvre... yada, yada, yada ad nauseum.

OBEDIENCE is key to being faithful; it is found in the TRUTH written on our hearts.  It's written there because no one has to be a rocket scientist, theologian, pope, etc., to recognize it, or figure it out, imo.

Pax et bonum!

Not at all. They simply don't practice blind obedience, which is not a virtue but a fault. We must never deny the Catholic faith for the sake of being obedient. On the contrary, disobedience to a superior who demands that we harm the faith, is a virtuous act.
