"Applied politically, they'd be 'The White House and the Legislative Branch being occupied by anti-Christs' could ONLY mean Bush was an antiChrist."

Nonsense. It could refer as well to those who staff the White House and not Bush himself. The term "White House" simply means the Office of the President--where a lot of people work. It is a diplomatic term, deliberately ambiguous. When we say "The White House has stated such and such," it does not always mean that the President personally stated this. It COULD mean this, but it is deliberately unclear whether the President has said something, or merely someone on his staff. The reason this term is used instead of a more definite one is precisely to afford deniability regarding the President himself. That was my point by analogy about the term "Holy See"--purposely misconstrued by you to force your opinion that the Archbishop Lefebvre was specifically referring to the Pope. He was not. The evidence, in fact, is to the contrary as I have shown.

Have you proven 'misconstrued' u.r.? Perhaps something directly from Lefebvre with a link to the source?

It looks to me that SSPX has a queer set of standards; we have the assertion that (supposedly) the Vatican is filled with antiChrists, and conversely, while we see clear disdain for JPII, and the Curia, Cardinal Ratzinger is quoted --EXCERPT is the name of the game! -- to support SSPX opinion about the Pauline Rite Mass. Then, to 'top it off', SSPX runs its organization in such a way to expel "highly-respected French SSPX clergy" with intention of sweeping it under the rug. hmmmm. Do facts, truth matter to SSPX, or not? Curious, to say the least.

There is an aspect to SSPX that reminds me of The Passion of The Christ, where Judas runs from Jesus' gaze, he tries to hide, and even beneath the dark bridge that Judas chose as a hiding spot, Judas can not escape Jesus' eyes upon him.
