Your personal SSPX slur aside (can't resist, can you?), your posts prove the case for sedevacantism more than any sede's post on this site.

The Holy Spirit safeguards the Magisterium when they adhere to and practice the Faith of two millenia. He does not force any human soul. They must come willingly. We all have free will. I repeat: the vast majority of the hierarchy in Rome have lost the Faith as predicted by Our Lady of La Salette. By their own choice they have lost Divine protection.

If the next Pope is a Mahony or Kasper, I will become a card carrying sedevacantist.

Doesn't the SSPX oppose sedevacantism?

The Spirit safeguards the Magisterium precisely so it will adhere to the Faith! As for your appeal to free will, I counter with Augustine: "Almighty God is able to turn to belief wills that are perverse and opposed to faith ... the Almighty sets in motion even in the innermost hearts of men the movement of their will, so that He does through their agency whatsoever He wishes to perform through them" (On Grace and Free Will 29, 45).

The first condition of salvation is to maintain the rule of the true faith. And since that saying of our lord Jesus Christ, You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, cannot fail of its effect, the words spoken are confirmed by their consequences. For in the Apostolic See the Catholic religion has always been preserved unblemished, and sacred doctrine been held in honor. (Council of Constantinople IV, Profession of Faith)

That's how this game works, Deborah. They've been playing this game for so long, and gbcdoj plays it now.

All your complaints are justified, all of them are correct. Your love of the Church and your understanding of the Faith is sincere.

But the modernists are on the inside, and they want you out. They want to turn things upside down, and to call their unholy things in and your holy things out. Desolation, standing where it ought not. But they don't want it to look as if they had tossed you out, they want to make it look like you left of your on own.

They actually want you to become a sedevacantist. That is, having failed, thank God, to incrementalize you into NeoCatholicism. Again, a classic "either/or" close; just a cheap sales trick.

My two cents. Keep up the good fight, but don't fall for it.
