I don’t doubt that He’s not pleased. But it remains His Church, not Fellay’s or Williamson’s, and the traditional doctrine of obedience — obey your lawful superiors unless they command you to sin — is still in force. So go ahead, make the case that for SSPX to be in obedience to the Pope is equivalent to obeying a *command* to *sin*.

Now do you know exactly what the SSPX was commanded to do? Are you privy to the secret “doctrinal” preamble? If not, drop the nonsense about sin; because it is also a sin to bare false witness by signing a pledge you cannot honor as a Catholic.

Let the preamble first be made public and then make your judgement about who’s sinning.

Speaking of obedience, Cardinal Ratzinger refused to accompany
Pope John Paul II on his first love fest to Assisi.

And Padre Pio disobeyed and refused to celebrate the Novus Ordo long before the Motu Propio.
