Your point that because the Pope enjoys a good reputation this has something to do with what we're discussing, is so much blather. So is the idea that since a man is known by his enemies, SSPX must be evil, composed of miserable wretches who exist to launch hatred and invective against the Pope. In fact, they do just the opposite and pray for him daily. If there's any invective and hatred being launched, it is by the people like yourself, not by traditionalists. But it is not hateful nor indulging in invective to point out that this Pope acts in ways that are clearly heterodox. That is simply a fact--something you have a tough time admitting. Just as you cannot admit to yourself that the corruption and apostasy in the Church is widespread and attributable primarily to the man at the top. You want to blame everybody else--except the authority most in charge.

You have a very good working definition of your little sulfurous schism there in the second sentence. The rest, per usual, is bilge.
