In the end I realized that Tradition is a Person — the Second Person of the Holy Trinity who incarnated Himself in the womb of an immaculately conceived Virgin.
So, now Jesus Christ is one in being with Tradition, Who is the same person as the Holy Ghost, and we are additionally bestowed with the pronounced suspicion of multiple immaculate conceptions?
Mr. Vere might mean well, but I would question his ability to reason well, given his claim to education. While Vere consistently uses the term mystical body of Christ, which comes as a welcome surprise, I had to wonder if Envoy is equally consistent in that practice. But I didn't have to look far for my answer, because another article in the same issue has Patrick Madrid abandoning mystical in the same context:

Here under the watchful eye of Mahony, Los Angelinos are fully aware of the revolutionary upheaval of doctrine inherent with confusing the Blessed Sacrament with the person receiving it, and curiously, the overall health of the Body of Christ ostensibly his concern, Madrid has exactly one positive thing to say about the SSPX. But then it's followed by yet another excoriation:
While it’s good to know that the pope and the bishops in communion with him are being prayed for at SSPX Masses, it’s disturbing to see the strange disconnect that exists in the minds of the SSPX adherents. On one hand they profess “filial devotion and loyalty” to the pope. On the other, they flatly refuse to obey him.
So Madrid practices a strange disconnect in his mind while he accuses the SSPX adherents of same.
