Hard to believe that as the Holy Father and Cardinals meet to discuss lifting the excommunication from the SSPX, these articles continue to proliferate on the traditionalist web sites. Perhaps they're not aware of the good news?

Pope Cardinals discuss lifting SSPX excommunication and free use of Latin missal

It's even harder to believe that men who are themselves excommunicated would presume to accuse the Holy Father of heresy. I am well aware that a great many Catholics (myself included) agree with much of what SSPX advocates; however, the methods they have used are really not all that different than those used by heretics throughout history.

By the way, it's not so much about bringing the Mass back to the dioceses as much as it is holding the Catholic faith. Your original post highlights matters of faith which were the reason why Bishop Sanborn and like-minded people do not want to be in communion with Benedict XVI.

There are some who have questioned the validity of Benedict XVI's episcopal consecration (meaning he would not be a valid pope on those grounds). Just thought you might want to be aware of this.

The priests mentioned here are Sedevacantists, and they split off from the SSPX over 20 years ago, so it would be no surprise they would not think anything about a possible reconciliation.

The lesson here for all of us is not to be to quick to jump to conclusions or cast aspersions about different people or groups. Even with people that may be wrong, there is nothing to be gained from the attacks we have here on Free Republic. No one can claim that they are following the lead of the Holy Father by such attacks or by claiming to weigh in on the status of certain groups or people. He hasn't take such an approach, so why should we?

Are you intentionally trying to implicate the SSPX in the writings of this nut, Rev. Sanborn, or are you just confusing/obfuscating the issues? He has nothing to do with the SSPX...

You know, pulling this BS out wont do anything to prove your point NYer. These arent SSPX sanctioned sites, much less sites sacationed by any Indult mass community.

All these are but the schismatic garbage we're usually regaled by those outside the Church who insist, in their delusion, that the Church comes to them and not the other way around.

None of these articles are to be taken seriously.
