dUSt Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 No, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden (and their ilk) are the most Catholic Protestants. The SSPX can't compare to the Protestants who actually continue to receive holy communion in Catholic parishes. Well played.
franciscanheart Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Hear, Hear! So you also support the SSPX? Great!
Brother Vinny Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 So you also support the SSPX? Great! I'm not sure how you can infer that from what was said.
Dr. Bombay Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Don't worry. I'm sure if you keep your distance there's no danger the SSPX will give you their cooties.
ToJesusMyHeart Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I'm not sure how you can infer that from what was said. Thank you, Brother Vinny.
ToJesusMyHeart Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Don't worry. I'm sure if you keep your distance there's no danger the SSPX will give you their cooties. :hehe2: Have you received your SSPX vaccination this year? BETTER GET ON IT, QUICK!

The SSPX can't compare to the Protestants who actually continue to receive holy communion in Catholic parishes. So it's okay to reject the Pope's authority, as long as you abide by the moral teachings of the Church? How exactly are Kovpak and Williamson better than Pelosi or Biden? It just seems to me like there's this attitude like there's no such thing as being 'too conservative' in the Church, when there very clearly is.

It seems to me that the former pair in your question take their rebellion outside the Church, while the latter pair flaunt their rebellion from within. But I could be wrong.
Ash Wednesday Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I sympathize with them. To a certain extent, I do as well. It's not like I really can agree with them, but given the state the Church has been in it's not like I can't understand where they are coming from, either. I've discovered a pretty nasty chip on the shoulders of many traditionalists. But that said, many Catholics that aren't of the "trad" sort treat them with more vitriol than they do Protestants, so it's not all that surprising. Edited June 29, 2013 by Ash Wednesday

I think it's because this wound is fresher... the centuries have mellowed the Protestant-Catholic bile. Remember back in reformation days, we would actually knife each other and so forth.
Maggyie Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 With regard to the topic, I can't say I'm surprised. Sad but not surprised. I wonder why there are so few true breakthroughs in ecumenism? For all the talk about Christian unity, there's just a barrier there that people can't get past and I wonder if we ever will before the Lord comes back, with any church/ecclesial community/group. What is it though? pride? habits of thought that just can't be broken because they are centuries old? Institutional inertia?
Laudate_Dominum Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I'm burned out on hoping for resolution to the SSPX thing. Phooey on them.

Dr. Bombay Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Garroting or defenestration works best for those types. In my HUMBLE opinion.
Nihil Obstat Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I'm burned out on hoping for resolution to the SSPX thing. Phooey on them. I am still hopeful, but not for any rational reason. :p
