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

How? If it wasn't for them we wouldn't have the Indult.

I just don't see the need to demonize them like so many people do here. There are much bigger threats to deal with, like the exodus of Catholics to non-Catholic churches and religions.

SSPX is a minor issue that will be resolved once both sides drop the name-calling and prideful behavior. It's like two estranged siblings arguing over who Mom likes best.

Sorry, your take is erroneous.

SSPX is schismatic and its followers are flirting with schism.

To repeat: there was NO excuse for people in Lincoln to "flee" to the SSPX Masses--except that they wanted to leave the Church. ALL the Old Rite Masses anyone could ask for were available in Lincoln Diocese.

Wrong is wrong and you can't un-make it so.

I do have a number of friends and acquaintances who are SSPX adherents, and I am sorry that they have chosen to leave the Church--but they did, and that's that.

BB's job is to KEEP the flock--not chase it. On the other hand, he cannot keep those who would rather flee.
