"One can only for so long maintain the double-mindedness in, supposedly, acknowledging the Pope's Universal Jurisdiction while constantly repudiating it in practice"

This is true of Catholics, including their bishops and priests all across the country and probably the world. Canon Law and directives of the councils and popes on the liturgy and administration of the Sacraments are largely ignored. I have personally seen this in almost every diocese I have visited.

Yeah, me too. So, does that give us leave to abandon the field of battle and join a schism?

Since when does the Church Militatnt think it virturous to desert and join the enemy? Since when has it been considered "tradition" to flee the Cross?

You took a Confirmation Oath to fight for the Faith. It ain't much different than a vow of marriage. You can't abandon your marriage vows and take up with some hottie in a mini-skirt just cause the ol' lady she gets fat, ugly and cranky and you can't abandon the Oath to fight for the Faith in the Body of Christ and take up with some protestants in Fiddlebacks just cause Holy Mother Church in America is fat, ugly, and insipid
