Actually, the chronology is as follows.

One of your apologists called Opus Dei "a cult". I'd call that a "drive by insult" but of course that can't be so. SSPX members don't insult. They tell the truth. Only rebuttals by non-SSPXers can be classed as "insults".

Anyway, the description which he gave of Opus Dei, to support his jibe, sounded remarkably like his own organization. I said so.

Outrage from you and others.

Unsurprising really. The overwheening pride which characterises the writings and proclamations of your organization is easily wounded.

I attend the indult (Fraternity of Saint Peter).

No, I cited facts, history and accounts from specific experiences. You cite nothing but offer condescension, insults and the Novus Ordo holier-than-thou judgmentalism rampant on these threads.

Your church is imploding. The facts are not on your side. And I say your church because something which has become a mixture of psychobabble, paganism and Protestantism under a veneer of Catholicism sure as heck isn't the Church of 40 years ago. The only difference between the N.O. and the Episcopal service is the N.O.s can usually make a valid consecration.

Keep going. In ten years the SSPX will be the only option for many of you who desire the services of a priest over a community "service" lead by your local nun or lay administrator.

More ignorance. Nobody here is a "member of SSPX." The SSPX is a fraternity of priests.
