Man aren't we so lucky to have you and your 4 bishops and 50 priests as our watchdogs.

SSPX isn't the only Traditional Catholic group. If you look you will find more traditional catholic bishops and many more traditional catholic priests.

I am saying if you pick some random rice paddy farmer the 6 degree idea will not work. Too many people. the 6 degree idea sounds good, but just like religion, it can not be proven.

Just my opinion.

Re: Two Plus Two Forces Pope\'s Hand
 

This is true. Any sincere Catholic can sense that there is something strange going on in the Church these days, and an educated one can see the contradictions and the crisis for what it is.

BluffTHIS is trying to avoid the actual controversial issues of modernism by claiming "McCarthyism" and making attacks on one group such as the SSPX.

Of course, following his reasoning, he would have condemned St. Athanasius as well. That was a situation where only 5 bishops in the entire Catholic Church maintained the Faith against the rest of the Arian bishops and a weak Pope who "excommunicated" Athanasius.
