Good article. Some of the criticisms of SSPX could also be applied to the Church. One example is that Scripture has it that women are not to dress like men and are to have their heads covered. The Magisterium has allowed a complete contradiction of Scripture in today's church. As servant given proper authority as regards Scripture this causes some concern. I am aware that this is not the most pressing problem in the Church, so please do not miss the point; when the Magisterium is acting Contra Scripura who you gonna call? I am still in the Roman Catholic Church but I do sympathise with the SSPX. I believe BB is a good bishop but I find his equating the SSPX with a dozen liberal dissenting groups disingenuous. The problem with the Church is not that we've been too traditional. I am also uncomfortable with his dismissal with the SSPX: "We've moved on." This attitude is a signal to future Traditionalists who will "move on" away from Vatican II and the AmChurch.

Your feeling is misplaced and based on an erroneous supposition--that being that "there are no enemies to the right."

SSPX is a clear and present danger to the Roman Catholic Church and should be treated as such where necessary. BB did his job.
