You leave me curious. Would you suggest that the SSPX, for example, is not schismatic?

If I wanted to suggest such a thing, then I would suggest it. I referred to the Latin Mass.

Deciding whether the SSPX is schismatic is not within my competence, nor do I feel an obligation to involve myself in every controversy. If you would like to see an excellent discussion of the issue, I suggest you look up the latest issue of The Latin Mass magazine where the topic is debated back and forth with strong arguments on each side.

Fair enough. Who is that is being called schismatic, and why, that you expressed such concern about earlier? I still find your remark cryptic, especially in view of your answer. It seems to me you are involving yourself in some controversy here, and I’m curious which one? Your remarks:
Here is an outstanding explanation of the superior value of the traditional Latin Mass. Clear and comprehensive, it shows why we should be promoting and attending the Latin Mass, and answers every objection, including the one most often seen on FreeRepublic -- "schismatic."
I mean, I don't know of anyone on Free Republic who accuses others of being schismatic merely for attending the traditional Latin Mass. On the other hand the charge is probably frequently leveled when its an SSPX Mass. Thus, I am very curious what you meant?
