I could never leave the Holy See. I would not even go to church at all if I did not have the Pope and the Magisterium to lead and guide me.
Another thing that bothers me is the way the papers like the Remnant are constantly gossiping about the bishops. Isn't gossiping some sort of a sin? The terrible part of gossiping is that the more you read the more you need. It has to keep getting more and more outrageous or the reader is not happy.
It is not gossip to indicate that bishops are deficient as spiritual shepherds. It is legitimate criticism, sanctioned by canon law. These men should be above reproach--but most are not and need to be called to a higher standard, particularly when they offend against the faith itself.
You're exactly right.
Little Michael Matt had to ratchet up the rhetoric, continually, to keep the readers lathered up.
Like Michael Moore, the integrist press has to get more and more ridiculous and unbelieveable with each and every accusation made against the Church.
It's just a matter of time before the traditionalists who try to remain within the Church just jump off the cliff with the sedevacantists.
From a letter written by the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, on the long term effects of attending mass at an SSPX chapel.
"While it is true that participation in the Mass at the chapels of the Society of St. Pius X does not of itself constitute "formal adherence to the schism", such adherence can come about over a period of time as one slowly imbibes a schismatic mentality which separates itself from the teaching of the Supreme Pontiff and the entire Catholic Church classically exemplified in A Rome and Econe Handbook which states in response to question 14 that the SSPX defends the traditional catechisms and therefore the Old Mass, and so attacks the Novus Ordo, the Second Vatican Council and the New Catechism, all of which more or less undermine our unchangeable Catholic faith.
It is precisely because of this schismatic mentality that this Pontifical Commission has consistently discouraged the faithful from attending Masses celebrated under the aegis of the Society of St. Pius X."
What you are witnessing on this thread is precisely the schismatic mentality, to which Msgr. Camille Perl is referring.
