There is a great difference between the teachings of the Catholic Church even SSPX and Protestants. The confessional biblically based Protestants teach the simple truth of the gospel without the catholic heresies thrown in - both pre and post Vatican II heresies. I beg to disagree that we are anything like modern or premodern catholics
The only Protestants that are similar to modern catholocs are the liberal apostate mainline churches that have left the Truth of the gospel for a popular social justice platform
I really can’t disagree with any of your observations. There are clear and dramatic difference between the teachings of the Catholic Church (which are faithfully followed by the SSPX) and Protestant teachings. Quite candidly, they are simply two very different religions. Among many other differences, the Catholic Church was established by God, while all Protestant religions were established by man.
If you read my post as suggesting that the Protestant religions were in any way attempting to mimic the Catholic Church, that would have been incorrect on my part and I apologize. What I was positing was that the modern popes and bishops of the Church are emulating the Mainline Protestant religions––certainly not the Evangelicals who continue to be faithful to their Biblical beliefs.
The false ecumenism of Vatican II (which had been rejected earlier by both the Catholic Church and virtually all Protestant religions) is what the modern leaders of the Church are promoting with unbridled zealousness. In fact, a so-called “ecumenical-Mass” is allegedly under serious discussion in Rome. I would assume that it will be unveiled for the public in the not too distant future.
