And again, if it wasn't for the SSPX the Traditional Mass would not exist today. There would be no FSSP. There would be no Indult.

I refuse to cast stones at them.

You are buying the schismatic mantra that somehow there would be no Tridentine Mases or Indult without the schismatic behavior of Marcel, which is based on their infernal resistance to John Paul II's rightful and praiseworthy excommunication of Marcel.

There have been hundreds of causes of conservative dissatisfaction within the Roman Catholic Church, most particularly Benedict XV (who cancelled Pope St. Pius X's admirable purge of the Modernist heretics) and John XXIII (where to begin, where to end?) but all of the schismatic fire is saved for the one and only pope to excommunicate the rebellious Marcel who massacred his own vow of obedience.

Chesterton write that some people wrongfully assume that those who reject the truth will believe nothing when actually they will believe anything. SSPX is a good example. Don't cast stones at them. Join them. Or become a Gaia worshipper. But, if you are not going to be in obedience to the pope, don't call yourself Catholic and confuse others as you have been confused. Scandal is also grave matter.

John Paul II is pope. You are not. I am not. Ultima Ratio is not. Learn to live with it.
