I wondered how long it would take for the ad hominem attacks to start coming. You apparently are at a loss for arguments and so get down-and-dirty. Can't say I blame you since citing St. Ignatius over and over is really pretty futile, especially since the Church Father has far more in common with traditional Catholicism and Archbishop Lefebvre than with modernist Rome--so your message understandably gets muddled. Try answering the objections I raise more honestly, you might have better success. But be sure to do a little background reading beforehand so as not to advertize your ignorance.

Try answering the objections I raise

1. Canon 333.3 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law (Canon 228.2 of the 1917 Code) which states: "There is no recourse or appeal from a decision of the Roman Pontiff."
2. The Pope writes: (Ecclesia Dei): "In performing such an act, notwithstanding the formal canonical warning sent to them by the cardinal prefect of the Congregation for Bishops last June 17, Archbishop Lefebvre and the priests Bernard Fellay, Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, Richard Williamson and Alfonso de Galarreta have incurred the grave penalty of excommunication envisaged by ecclesiastical law."
And furthermore, he writes:
"Everyone should be aware that formal adherence to the schism is a grave offense against God and carries the penalty of excommunication decreed by the Church's law."
3. "Do not err, my brethren. If any man follows him that makes a schism in the Church, he shall not inherit the kingdom of God." St. Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Philadelphians, 105 A.D.

You lose. Good bye!
