"If you consider that every Priest there is a vagus, and knows that are not incardinated, but they continue to operate irregularly. Without that they have no means to offer absolution, yet none of the faithful are told this before confession."
Obedience has its limitations. You obviously don't think so. Rules and regulations employed to curtail traditional practice in favour of passing fads and damage limitation exercises are now bypassed by a growing number of priests who prefer the straight and narrow. We are in a dark era where cardinals are chosen for their heretical credentials, bishops are chosen for their close familiarity with corruption and priests emerge from the sewers of society. We are extremely indebted to the likes of Father Heidt in once again revealing the sickness that passes for the Church of today though some of us wish to remain blind to it.
Pope Benedict XVI, when he was still Cardinal Ratzinger, did not see the SSPX as being in schism, as well as other canonists.
