I fear this may include a lot of semi-pagan natives jumping up and down in the jungle. Do you count these as well as those who go to protestant churches and supermarkets instead on a Sunday?

The SSPX are protestants who claim to be catholic. They are no different from the liberal wing of the church in their selective teachings. Both are cafeteria catholics.

Thats a fallacy. Protestantism is denial of Catholic dogma (articles of Faith). The SSPX haven't denied any articles of Faith. Therefore, they cannot be Protestants. At least you haven't gone to the point bornacatholic did i.e.; making up words and being silly.

Re: "Both are cafeteria catholics."

That's a hoot. Are you always this funny? I have hear of the pot calling the kettle black but never the pot calling snow black.

What doctrine do they reject? You make claims "the Vatican" does not even make. "The Vatican" doesn't even call Protestants Protestant, they're separated brethren, don't you know. Who died and made you pope? Calumny is a sin you know.

gbcdoj,

Would you ask NYer to provide examples of how she has come to her conclusion that the SSPX are Protestants?

I think this fulfills your criteria for quizzing someone to find out what they have read or not read in order to come to their conclusions.
