Heres a quote.
We see, then, the basic and fundamental difference between Roman Catholic and Orthodox traditionalists. Traditionalist groups in the Roman Catholic Church are obliged to violate the ultimate authority in their Church to be where they are. We Orthodox traditionalists, however, must heed the ultimate authority in the Church to be where we are. And herein lies one of the most important differences between the Latin and Orthodox Churches in general: the Latin Churchs appeal to the authority of the Roman See and the Orthodox Churchs dependence on the authority of the wholeness of ecclesiastical tradition, the very Body of the Church.
Not a copasetic as you are trying to portray it seems.
