One frog puffed up like a balloon with personal pride certainly doesn't constitute "rebellion at the heart of the SSPX movement"

So this is pride?

What would you call standing in judgement on the Vicar of Christ and presuming to fault his every teaching and word?

Humility?

Reading the SSPX link which NYer put up in post #5, one is immediately struck by the rich irony of almost every paragraph. The writer is lamenting the lack of obedience by the priest and his refusal to submit himself to the SSPX hierarchy.

Translation: Submit and bow down to us, you proud sinner, whilst we continue to flout and contest Papal authority and teaching.

As the kids say, "What goes around, comes around".

"whilst we continue to flout and contest Papal authority and teaching"

That's a good summary of what the modern Vatican has been doing for the last 40 years.
Compare "ut unum sint" with "mortalium animos" - and that's just for starters.
Once you've done this - report back for your next assignment.
