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

The SSPX refused the best offer they were ever going to get, from BXVI. They will get no similar offer from HH Francis.

So they will go steadily further and further off the rails, until they are as irrelevant as that idiot in Arizona or wherever who says HE's the Pope.

Too bad, because they could have strengthened the Church if they had only been willing to bend their stiff necks far enough to repent.

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.
