SSPX Consecrations As A Loyalty Litmus Test
- The SSPX decision to consecrate new bishops is a litmus test for where Catholics place primary obedience.
- Ben Harnwell and Frank Walker argue this exposes whether Catholics side with Rome's hierarchy or with perceived unchanging tradition, reviving a 40-year dilemma.
Cardinals Expose Fake Traditionalists
- Cardinal statements against SSPX reveal many self-styled trads actually align with conciliar authority.
- Frank Walker cites Cardinal Müller and Cardinal Serra as examples who publicly urged the SSPX not to proceed, exposing 'fake Trads'.
Traditionalism Is More Than The Latin Mass
- The traditional movement goes beyond the Latin Mass and centers on fidelity to pre-Vatican II doctrine.
- Ben Harnwell argues many who celebrate the TLM still accept Vatican II's framework, so they're not genuinely traditionalist in doctrine.
