This is much more comprehensive than other articles I've seen being promoted on the same topic. The dinosaur comment is appropriate. Like dinosaurs they end up being fake and gay rather than visibly Catholic and following Christ's spirit in all things.
Very helpful and necessary critique to keep our eyes open and our souls awake. The extensive quotes you offered are still perfectly apt. Someone online (I can't recall who) said that permissions for a circumscribed TLM are simply better terms of surrender to the Synodalist church. Our surrender must be freely bestowed only on our Lord Jesus Christ and the fullness of the Truth He won for us on the Cross.
I should add that Benedict XVI's Summorum Pontificum differed in one crucial respect from these various proposals to corral the Traditional Roman rite. It allowed ALL priests, including diocesan priests, to celebrate the TLM, without special individual permissions. Although one may not like the "extraordinary form" designation, it opened up access to the Traditional sacraments, and stimulated renewed interest in traditional doctrine, to the greatest extent since the Council. Its chief weakness was that the subsequent claimant to the Chair of Peter was able to revoke it so harshly.
I think the chief weakness was that it came from the Conciliar/Synodal hierarchy. The problem is depending on anything from them. Popes (true ones, that is) have the right to rescind the legislation of their predecessors – but not to promulgate and practice new religions. That is what they are doing, hence their illegitimacy.
One can only hope that clear and thoughtful articles such as yours will steel Catholics in their resolve not to compromise with Modernists. This current crisis seems to dwarf Arianism, as bad as that was at its time.
Ottaviani is such an enigma to me. Despite his having taken the Oath Against Modernism and his battles for orthodoxy at the Council and regarding the liturgy, he acquiesced to the institution rather it seems to me than continuing to defend the faith, as his "old soldier" 1965 interview indicated. I wonder what he would think of that decision today. And I hope we are thinking clearly and making the right decision at this time as well.
I don't normally watch Dr Taylor Marshall, he is hoping the SSPX goes along with the working together. From someone who says he knows the SSPX and their parishioners. So tired of all the TLM influencers wanting the SSPX to go against everything Archbishop Lefebvre did and why established his seminary.

Thanks John!

Thank you, No Greater Love!

They have seriously sanitised him.
