What is it like living on such a high pedestal and viewing everyone as a heretic, and ‘knowing’ that 99%+ of the people on it will burn in hell if they are not in the SSPX cult? Does it make you happy that god’s intelligent plan was to have SSPX as his true religion, you know the one jesus taught...., and a massive amount of people on the planet won’t even know what it is their entire lives?
What makes SSPX correct? I’m aware that they adopt Vatican I views, especially the Tridentine Mass, but what if you have to go back further to get the more pure version of mass? I could see people outraged over new ideas from, let’s says, Lyon I to Lyon II. I could certainly see a similar outrage between Lateran V to Trent. It would have been the modern day Vatican I to Vatican II transitional schism. What if one of the Pre-Tridentine forms of mass was the proper way to celebrate it, and you are just as bad of a heretic as the Novus Ordo folks. I know transubstantiation is a big part of the catholic mass, but it wasn’t ever thought about until the 11th century, you’d think something that important would have been already guided by god into the earliest forms of mass, and not officially accepted in 1551 in the Council of Trent. It seems that there is a clear evolution in the catholic church due to man made rules, where does the truth start and where does it end in the catholic church, and how do you know? Why is Vatican II man made and not divinely inspired?

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
