In obedience to the decrees of Urban VIII, of holy memory, I protest that I do not intend to attribute any other than human opinion to any theory as to the ultimate cause of the fall of the Vatican institution from Catholic teaching, including my own. Such theories can only be regarded as such until confirmed by the Holy Roman Catholic Church and by the Holy Apostolic See, when better times return and Modernism ceases to hold sway with those leaders who regard themselves as "Catholic." I profess myself to be an obedient son, to the reliable Popes from Peter to Pius XII, and yet to come, and therefore I submit whatever I have written in this book to their judgment.

This is from the other link you provided. This gentleman, who wrote an online book about the Resurrection of the Roman Catholic Church (sic) apparently thinks the Popes since Pius XII (who died in 1958) are unreliable.

How are these links, which attack the Church and the Living Magisterium established by Jesus and promised by Him never to fail, useful to Christians?

One of your links connects one with Traditio, a site run by a fake priest.

Be that as it may, I included these links simply as short, additional explanations of the film. And, I stated that this was the purpose of the links. I did not provide the links to sing the praises of their authors.

Please see above. I had to go digging to find the statement you quoted in the book penned by this man. So, you must have had to do the same. I did not link to the statement you quoted. I did link, however, to a summary of the movie for the purposes outlined above.

Furthermore, I prefaced my links with statements that the movie goes to extremes at times to make its points, and I noted that it has both Anti-VII and sedevacantist overtones. I would think that the fact that I mentioned these aspects at the outset would make it clear that I find them regrettable and unecessary.

I can’t wait to see the flaming begin once someone actually watches the movie.
