It's not like any aspect of this discussion is new.No it's not, which is why I am puzzled by your continued false accusations as well as you and anyone else on this forum presuming to have any authority at all to determine my status as a Catholic in good standing, which I am.
If Msgr. Pearl confirms that the bishop had no grounds to excommunicate the Hawaii 6, what grounds and authority do you, or any other poster on this forum pretend to have to declare that I am a schismatic or excommunicated? (That's rhetorical by the way).

I've also been called a "schizzy" and attacked by these antagonists, even though I don't attend SSPX Masses, even as these Traditional Latin Masses are acknowledged by Rome to be licit. Rome is on the record with statements that it is permissible to attend SSPX Masses to satisfy Sunday obligations and even to contribute in their Offertory collections.
To clarify: No statement from Rome has ever called faithful Catholics who attend SSPX Masses schismatics. Yet we hear these harmful and judgmental charges of schism and excommunication thrown around here constantly.
Several posters here are free to name call and "personally attack" all in the name of "the Church." They go so far as to slam a new FR poster with their false "schizzy" label and then show no remorse when a modest defense is put forward. They admonish him with, "you won't last long here." as if they assume and usurp Moderator powers.
It is sad and unfortunate that there is no willingness to restrain the mean-spirited and baseless attacks and little opportunity for civil discourse on these important matters of Faith.
My engagement here with those who make false charges (calumny) and offer continual provocations against me and others on what I know to be the truth is, as of this point and voluntarily, finished.
