Which POPE declared SSPX not schismatic? In which papal document? Do you claim that a cardinal/bureaucrat's authority exceeds that of the pope himself so long as the cardinal/bureaucrat serves the interests of the schism?

The CATHOLIC claim is that the rulings of Pope John Paul II and the fact that Pope Benedict XVI has not seen fit to change the status quo established in JP II's Ecclesia Dei trump the speculations of any mere ecclesiastical inferiors. No more than the likes of Walter Cardinal Kasper or Roger Cardinal Mahoney does Dario Cardinal Castrillon de Hoyos have the authority to trump papal rulings whether the impudent schismatics of SSPX like to think so or pretend to think so or not.

It is the schism that thinks itself exempt from papal authority and seethes in raging hatred of John Paul the Great for calling the SSPX to account, declaring the SSPX to be a schism and expelling the ringleaders from the Church.

You know what's funny? You and the other cafeteria Catholics would be falling all over yourselves to support Cardinal Hoyos if he had said the Society is in schism. You preach the authority of the Magisterium but only obey them when they tell you what you want to hear.

And you call us disobedient.

Hypocrites.

P.S. Pope JPII's decree was not infallible. Your continued ranting won't ever change that fact.
