The blog Whispers in the Loggia has a fun little game called "Guess the Anti-Semite: SSPX or Al Qaeda?"
Have fun!
Sample round:
1. "Arab terrorists... are in turn mere instruments of God who uses them for the salvation of souls."
2. "In the Catholic Middle Ages the Jews were relatively impotent to harm Christendom, but as Catholics have grown over the centuries since then weaker and weaker in the faith, especially since Vatican II, so the Jews have come closer and closer to fulfilling their substitute-Messianic drive towards world dominion."
3."Jews believe that all humans are created for their use, and they found that the Americans are the best-created beings for that use."
4. "[T]here was not one Jew killed in the gas chambers. It was all lies, lies, lies. The Jews created the Holocaust so we would prostrate ourselves on our knees before them and approve of their new State of Israel...."
5. "[T]he Jews are the most active artisans for the coming of antichrist."
6. "Just as the chief priests and ancients hated Jesus unto death... so we may blame Jews and Freemasons and others like them for engineering the destruction of the Church...."

Were the Pope to accept the sspx back en masse and permit them to continue to repudiate the Second Vatican Council and consider it heretical; if the Pope let them continue to repudiate Canon Law; if the Pope let then continue repudiating the Catechism; if the Pope let them continue to teach the Normative Mass is evil; if the Pope declared all their celebrations of all the Sacraments are now licit; if the Pope granted them any structure they desired, there is one thing he can not do.
Even if he made concessions in all the areas I noted, the reconciliation would not occur if the Pope demanded they repudiate their heretical antisemitic doctrine the Jews are cursed.
Were it learned the SSPX had entered into negotiations with the Holy See and part of the negotiations included the Pope's demand the cult repudiate their antisemitic doctrine the Jews are Cursed while conceeding ALL their other demands, their followers would be screaming "Fellay is a Judaiser" and there would be no reconciliation.
It is NOT the Mass that matters. That is a mask. Their base is bound together with their base and hateful doctrine the Jews are Cursed. And that is a doctrine they will negotiate.
whispers in the loggia, huh? Weird combinations here...
Birds of a feather, and all that...
By the way, why don't you announce to everyone how many of your administrators will return next year to your school?
Sometimes people cannot identify where the true problem lies...
I renege on my earlier insinuation. Won't be looking at moving there any time soon.
Too many Catholics and Baptists and fundies to evangelize here in the Bible Belt. Ultimately, they end up making better Catholics and better and more chartitable and robust Catholic communities anyway!!!
Rockford is a nice place to visit, but...
