What wonderful news. Praise be Jesus Christ.

Are you praising a different Jesus? I mean, other than the One who founded His Church on the rock of blessed Peter, and who prayed that all might be one (Jn 17:21)? Because I can't imagine Him being pleased at this.

I don't recognize the sort of "Catholic" spirit that rejoices in continued disunity with the Roman Pontiff. It's completely foreign to me.

If true, the SSPX is just Lutheranism in Latin now.

I can very much imagine Him being not pleased with His Church since the early 1960s.

We shouldn’t be praising schism but we should welcome a deeper examination of Vatican II and especially the interpretation of it that currently prevails and is a true obstacle to reunification. That interpretation has claimed another victim, it seems.

I want the reunification in truth but if it happens on the grounds of obedience to Rome alone, without doctrinal reconciliation, then none of us should want it. In fact, it is for the good of the Church that the split, painful as it is, remains till Vatican II is clarified in a way consistent with the Tradition.

There is a simple test. A priest who turns away a Buddhist lesbian is removed from public service. And so is a priest who wants to worship God and explain the Catholic doctrine in a way every Catholic did prior to 1968. This cannot be, and till it is, the schism will continue to loom over our heads.

We’’l just have to wait longer.
