Two devalued cents on the SSPX situation and those who would comment on it
Pundits and would-be pundits who don’t have a grounding in the liturgical angle of this decision are missing a big part of the picture.
I would even go so far as to say that pundits and would-be pundits who would weigh in on this decision without considering its liturgical angle — in light of the pronouncements of Vatican II (yes!) and prior documents — are missing the point entirely.
If the Church can handle Richard McBrien, she can also handle Richard Williamson.
If the Church is accommodating to Remi de Roo, she can also accomodate Bernard Fellay.
Let the intramurals continue, in earnest this time.







Bravo!
It does seem as if some of the same people who get their knickers in a twist at the mere threat of excommunicating those committed to the “right” to privately murder unborn children and yelp about how horrible it is to use the Eucharist as a “weapon” are in high dudgeon that the Holy Father revoked the actual excommunication used as a “weapon” against people with whom they disagree.
