SSPX critic: "Photos of priests automatically suspended a divinis are really nothing to celebrate or promote."

Rogator: But it sure beats photos of a "clown Mass" or a "mass" with dancing girls, even if a cardinal in "good standing" is presiding.

Thanks for that large shot of common sense Rogator. We have some truly smart people here on FR but without common sense it seems that's their inevitable recommendation: A clown mass or apostate/pervert/heretical priest is better for us than the SSPX. I don't know for a fact, but I seriously doubt B16 would agree with such "legalistic" reasoning.

Dichotomies:

Being raped or being kidnapped?

Badly said low rent novus ordo Masses or excommunication for adherence to schism (you can attend their Masses which are truly Masses but you cannot give them adherence as they are excommunicated schismatics)?

As to the second dichotomy: A restored norm of Tridentine Masses (at least SOME said in manageable time of 30 minutes or so and the full 2 hour extravaganza with all bells and whistles at other Masses) and some novus ordo Masses (with rubrics strictly controlled and revised as necessary for orthodoxy) for those who have been taught to fear all things Tridentine.
