Everything is up for re-definition. Nothing is to be left unchanged. It is a revolution. There is a hatred of Tradition in all this. Tradition is the enemy.

I have to run, but what exactly, other than what the SSPX claims has been changed in Mass and the Rosary (which developed over the centuries anyway) is such a break from tradition? And where is it written that absolutely everything in the way of evolved tradition is in stone?

There are many people out there who like change for the sake of change. I disagree with them and gained a fairly nasty reputation for being a snot-nosed disrupter when I spoke up. It mostly had to do with music, of course, but there is no way this effected my faith. And there is no way now, anyone could get me to turn my back on the church by linking up with a group declared in schism. I would far prefer to fight for change inside, where it would do a lot of good, than run away.

I also shy away from any break with the Church. I'd like to ask, though: if the things SSPX calls for are worth fighting for from within the Church, isn't it odd that they've been pronounced schismatics?
