This is what bothers me. Yes, I do think that SSPX is, at minimum, in an irregular relationship to the Holy See. I do not attend their Masses, although I recognize their validity (but not licitness). I attend the Missa Normativa most of the time, and the indult Mass occasionally.
But, as far as priorities go, the kind of disobedience we're talking about should be way down on the list, compared to so many outrageous things that are allowed to go on.
I'd like to know if this bishop is enforcing other rules with equal zeal. For instance, is he denying Holy Communion to publicly pro-abortion politicians and voters? Is he suspending priests that promote the idea of ordaining women? Is he ordering parishes to forgo the habitual use of EMHCs? Is he clearing active homosexuals, heretics and apostates out of the chancery offices?
It does seem that many, if not most, bishops see disobedient traditionalists as the greatest threat, for some reason that I cannot understand, or at least agree with.
We are in agreement. Fiorino has it all backwards; but recall that Bp Bruskewitz flat out excommunicated SSPX'rs, as well--along with the Call to Action types. All in the same document. BOOM! Your OUTTA here!
