"The break away SSPX has fallen prey to disobedience. One couldn't imagine a happier scenerio for the devil."

Yes, the devil is happy with disobedience and prideful usurpation of authority. The devil promised Eve she could be like God if she disobeyed. At least the SSPX is not guilty of a very original sin.

From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he
must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.

Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, "God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you."

He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."
Matt 16:21-23 notes

My thought about the seemingly willful denials:  we'll see the "blind obedience" label applied, we'll see SSPX legalese, but we won't see what can be understood with the slightest modicum of common sense.  

Jesus' words are valid even when he does not begin with "Amen, Amen, I say to you...".  I repeat myself for sure, but I do not accept, nor understand, why VII can not, or will not be accepted in similar manner.

Thank you FRiends for your posts.  Pax et bonum.
