"I've noticed that your posts have changed a little since I first started reading them. It seems that you are much more convinced about SSPX than you used to be."
Nope. Go back and check. I never wavered from day one. I fought Patent and "Catholic"guy and Sitetest, et al., tooth and nail from the first day I registered. I know who I am and what I believe because I've studied the issue for years. Do you think I just decided one fine day to follow SSPX on a whim? I reluctantly and very gradually came to the conclusion they were right and Rome was wrong. My wife came to the same conclusion. And we judge also by the fruits--the effects on my kids who have benefited immensely from the clarity of traditional Catholic teachings. This conviction has been reenforced by the calibre of men who are priests in SSPX--almost without exception men of deep faith and high intelligence. It is people like yourself who are confused and come to the argument with little understanding of the other side.
Recent former Catholic converts to protestantism spend a lot of time slamming the Virgin Mary, too. They think they understand both sides and from their new vantage point X, where X is {Mary, Baptism, Etc.} is stupid. Not much different from where you're coming from. For you X is {Rome, Pope, RCC Hierarchy, etc.}
What I don't understand is why you can't just quietly pursue your faith? Why protestants have to always slam the mother church?
