. I conceded the facts about Lefebvre and the Vichy government? When did I do that?
<> Right here<>
The Archbishop was in good standing up until around 1970. He had been superior general of the Holy Ghost Fathers and had worked on the schema for Vatican II. In other words, none of this stuff about the Vichy government or anything else bothered any of you Novus Ordo types--UNTIL he began defending traditional Catholicism. Then all of a sudden his past is raked over for something--anything--that might possibly discredit him and lend credence to the charge that his motives were anything but honorable.

You call that a concession? LOL. What it demonstrates is more desperation on your part. I said "none of this Vichy stuff" meaning "none of this crap," and challenged you to prove it, which you haven't done. The use of smear tactics is very Clintonian and has nothing to do with reality but everything to do with a need to discredit the SSPX. The end result, though, is that opponents of tradition discredit themselves--as if they had not already done that a thousand times over since the close of the Council.
