“If you honestly believed that parts of Vatican II are against the creed, as does the SSPX, what would you do?”

I wouldn’t be lying to other people and calling myself Catholic.

I also wouldn’t be saying that I believed that the pope was the head of the Church. They don’t not really, because they aren’t willing to accept his authority.

I wasn’t ready to come over until I was willing to accept his authority. Seems they aren’t ready yet either. Sad.

Would you be saying St. Paul was not Catholic? He did not accept the authority of St. Peter’s backsliding into Judaizing. There are many other saints throughout history who denied their pope’s authority to err. Were these saints not Catholic?
