"Those of us who prefer the Traditional Latin Mass do not reject the fruits of Vatican II and we support the Church and the Pope and are obedient to the Bishop."

If you do not reject the bitter fruits of Vatican II, why do you persist in your preference for the old Mass? Is there a small amount of disobedience there which is at odds with the reformed church? Evidently, you swallow whatever is thrown at you but surely you can get to love the rite celebrated by both Woytjla and Ratzinger if you try hard enough.

The strong presence of the SSPX [snip] did indeed play a role in the Bishop's decision as evidenced by his initial announcement a year ago.

Then those who "prefer" the TLM should get down on their knees and thank the SSPX.

I know the priest that was just sent to serve the SSPX mission in Phoenix, he just may be a walking saint. I have no doubt that the Phoenix SSPX chapel will continue to grow under his guidance.
