Just shows that once you start dissenting, it quickly becomes apparent that you're just another protestant sect.

I really can't see it that way, because the Church of the Vatican changed (modernized/progressed), abandoning centuries of tradition, whereas the SSPX and others stayed the same. From my vantage point it appears Francis' church is the protestant sect.

But personally I stick with the FSSP and diocese extraordinary forms, insulated from modern heresy as they are. Hope it stays that way.

I understand your position (I don't like a lot of the positions taken by modern bishops). On the other hand, if you read the actual documents, there's not much there other than loopholes that would never have been taken advantage of without the aggiornamento bishops.

The problem with the SSPX is that in order to deal with what they asserted was infidelity, they topped it with more infidelity. And that's where they fell down.

Thankfully, we have the FSSP. They have a church locally (with the full approval of our late archbishop, who dedicated it personally with the full and complete Latin rite) and they are straight-up orthodox shepherds.
