"Two years ago we taught the same thing we teach today and we were bad. Today we teach the same thing we taught two years ago and we're not that bad. Ten years ago we were straight from hell - and we haven't changed... fifty years ago we were the same as everyone else, thirty years ago we were renegades, twenty years ago we were straight from hell, we were considered excommunicated, ten years ago we were considered no longer excommunicated, but not in full communion, and now.... we're not in full communion but we're not that bad. Now [today] we're really not that bad we're actually pretty nice people.

[but] We haven't changed and we cannot change. We stand firmly for the truth. And we do not budge in our holding of the truth. And in due time the Church will reform. The day that we no longer hold the truth is the day that the grace of God will abandon us, and the day that we need to be abandoned. But as long as we hold the truth God will bless us."

Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer on the Motu Proprio 7/15/07

That is great!

Maybe someday we will graduate from not that bad to pretty good, lol.
