As head of the Holy Office, do you imagine that Josef Cardinal Ratzinger was not consulted by JP II on the just ecclesiastical judgment and punishment of Marcel and his minions?
If B-XVI or ANY pope rules otherwise, I will follow, but no bureaucrat and no schismatic are empowered to overrule JP II's judgments against SSPX and its living leaders and adherents.
I suspect that dead Marcel is now beyond any mercy that may be extended. Unrepentant death often has that effect. Perhaps, he had a grace of final repentance. As my actually Catholic Jesuit teachers of the early 1960s taught, given the possibility of a grace of final repentance and the possible availability of a perfect act of contrition by the miscreant, even Stalin and Hitler may not be in hell. Likewise, dead Marcel, but one would be prudent not to bet one's eternal destination on any of them having made heaven.
Its a good idea for you to take a good look at the fruits of Vatican ll...so you "go" for Communion in the hand,no confession,the altar??? oh where art thou Holy Altar?? women priests and servers,belly dancing at the "service" or clown "masses" with real hot dogs and pop being the 'bread and wine'..devorice upon devorice..accepting as if the Catholic religion means NOTHING other sects?..been through it saw it and NO WAY IS THIS the the Catholic Faith! ..SSPX has what it takes NOT SCHISM--look up the word..they NEVER started their own Faith or ever broke off Tradition--of the Catholic Faith..
As our Lady of LASalette said..."in 1864.."Rome would lose the Faith!"....
As for JPll...he knows now what he should have done ! God have mercy on his soul!
