Why I left the SSPX

[pascendi]

You know what's funny, schoolman.  The deeper I dug into the traditional crowd, the more... the more NeoCatholicism I found.   It's like an episode of Heroes.

You mean some "traditionalists" are not really Traditional?  That's shocking!

[dogearedpsalter]

And your the eternal judge of who is traditional?. A bit rich don't you think?
Save it and dream on. Seems your more interested in mocking those who are Traditional. if a moto mass is your thing then go stop whining and badgering those who have found and thank the SSPX for the courage to stand and keep tradition in the midst of the modernist onslaught.
mock mock mock. mock mock mock.
you sound like chicken! is this the  whooooooo?
like I care? tsk tsk
sip sip

Nothing of what I've always believed has changed; I suppose it's more a matter of a loss of sympathy.

[dogearedpsalter]

Indeed. can a feeneyite even have sympathy to lose?
just askin

With regards to those who hold strictly the absolute necessity of water baptism, it would be quite wrong to charge them with heretical constructs. As they merely assert that which was the near-universal consensus of the Patristic era, such a charge would be proximate to condemning all but a few of the Fathers as heterodox. It is rather the obligation of those who hold the "Nouvelle theologie" to put the better case that revelation and tradition are not static monuments enshrouded in time, but both evolve and develop as Christ continues to reveal himself in the experience of his people. As such this living tradition, with the world as its rightful interlocutor, penetrates more deeply into the mysteries in each succeeding generation as it progresses forward in time to the fullness of revelation.

Der Glaube das Pimmelkopfgelauben, Communio April 1997 p 13. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger

Heh... I'm with the pope. 

[StevusMagnus]

He wasn't the Pope at the time.

In addition, the following may be the most ambiguous, vague, confusing, statement I've heard in a long time.

That's clear from fact that it's attributed to one Cardinal Ratzinger.  Doesn't matter, though.  The weight of it would be the same either way.  It's not as if he means to declare or define anything.

 In addition, the following may be the most ambiguous, vague, confusing, statement I've heard in a long time.

Of course it is.  I believe I know what he means to say, though.

The first part, the bolded portion?  That's the absolute truth.  I like this pontiff.

Canonical or theological?
