So ... is this San Francisco parish out of unity with what you believe to be the one, true church or do they belong to the one, true church? Will they be corrected by anyone within the church hierarchy or will this be allowed to slide, along the lines of highly visible Catholics in political life having been permitted so much latitude to actually work against church interests?

Obviously, those who last any length of time on FR are conservative, and those who participate on the religion forum of FR are invariably traditionalists within their respective churches. It appears that you and other traditionalists advocate things as you believe they should be, not at all as they are.

Alas, this parish is in formal unity with the Church. That is, it's a parish legitimately built by and administered by the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Its pastor was, near as I can tell, validly and licitly ordained. If that sounds a bit legalistic, it should. I intend it to. Because this parish does NOT seem to be in material unity with the Church, as evidenced by its invitation of this foul pervert to lead Vespers.

Will they be corrected by anyone within the church hierarchy

That you even ask the question indicates the answer. I seriously doubt that Abp. Niederaur will do anything about this. He should, though. It's not just his job, it's his sacred vocation.

The inquisition gets an undeserved bad rap for a variety of reasons. When it functioned properly, the inquisition was a formal means for dealing with this sort of thing in a fair and objective manner.

It appears that you and other traditionalists advocate things as you believe they should be, not at all as they are.

I think you'll find that to be true in both the religious and political spheres. I might, for example, speak of the unconstitutional nature of "gun control" laws ... but I'm not about to go construct a machine-gun.
