"Matatics has been a technical Sedevacantist for years."

So you must be close to him, then, huh? You his spiritual director.

Judge, lest ye may be judged...

Oh yes, only applies to "rad-trads" so-called. I forgot. Sorry. You people are nuts.

No, I can engage in something called reading, where you read a man's words and take them at face value for what he is saying, and ascribe to him as beliefs what he confesses openly among men as what he thinks.

Judge, lest ye may be judged...

"But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him: and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined. But the spiritual man judgeth all things: and he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." (1 Corinthians 2.14-16, quoted from the Specially Bolded and Amplified Version of the Douai Rhiems Bible)

You wish not to judge. Good, the sensual man should not do so, as St. Paul clearly says. The rest of us wish to "Judge not according to the appearance: but judge just judgment." (St. John 7.24) For if we do that, "with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged." (St. Matthew 7.2).

Christ never invited us to take leave of our critical faculties and cease discerning what is good and bad, right and wrong.
