Treffend charakterisiert Pater Cekada die Piusbrüder mit folgenden Worten:
For them, the key question for resolving any controversy is not “What does CATHOLIC THEOLOGY teach?,” but “What is THE POSITION OF THE SOCIETY?”
The ideal SSPX member followed the Society’s position du jour, ignored the successive contradictions, and generally, did not think. Hardliner and soft-liners might come and go, but in the Society the only long-term survivors were the “flat-liners.”
Desweiteren bringt er es mit folgender Bemerkung auf den Punkt, wie weit sich die Bruderschaft vom katholischen Denken entfernt hat:
Good luck trying to square it with standard, pre-Vatican II theology on the indefectibility of the Church, the infallibility of her universal disciplinary laws, and the need for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff!
For while Jesuits take a fourth vow to obey the Roman Pontiff, SSPX-ers seem to have taken a fourth vow to negotiate with him.

NATURALLY, there will be the tendency on the part of some to dismiss all the foregoing as sedevacantist sour grapes.
Far from it. An SSPX deal that officially integrated the whole outfit into the Conciliar Church would draw an unmistakably clear theological line on the issue of accepting or rejecting Vatican II. This I would regard as a positive development.
Moreover, as with my critique of the reformed liturgy, my comments about SSPX are based ultimately upon the truths of the Catholic faith I learned in my youth: The Church of Jesus Christ gives only what is true and good, never evil and error, and that no Catholic can be truly such unless he submits to the pope.
Nothing “sedevacantist” to see there, folks, so please move on.
