On what, I'd like to know, does the SSPX disagree with the Roman Catholic Church?

The Latin Mass, for starters. They do not recognize the post Vatican Council II liturgy. Like it or not, it's here to stay.

I do know some people believe that only the Tridentine Rite is valid (not even the Byzantine or Armenian Rites). That is more provincial ignorance than anything else.

I don't buy the arguments that the Novus Ordo Missae is invalid (all the right stuff for the consecration is present), but I never know what I'm going to get with it. There are really good, reverent priests--and then there are electric guitar Masses and processional sambas. You're probably right that it's here to stay. I just wish they'd come out with a version of it that's less easy to desecrate.
