@mfjlewis Precisely.

It strikes me as fairly absurd that the SSPX put forward a monstrosity - a 154-paragraph-long reactionary and integrist "profession of faith" - when their separation from the Catholic Church has hinged since 1988 on their refusal to make this 5 paragraph profession of faith.

@TARSRel0aded @CullumSmith @TaylorRMarshall @mybullhorn @EricRSammons Extraordinary. Which of the reasons put forward for avoiding these titles does the SSPX take issue with?

@benjaminbutter Cameron is ranked too highly

@JMJCircello @QuoVadis_MV @Pontifex Because the SSPX refuse communion. They won’t take the profession of faith that the IBP took. It’s the same roles for everyone. As Pope Leo said, the Church will move forward.

@EricRSammons The position was far more nuanced than you think before V2. SSPX bangs the drum for a caricature of the Church’s teaching.

@TheGringoSalado @Xtopher_Uzo No they don’t.

@NormanSufrin @DominicFarrell It hasn’t always been Labour but has been strongly anti-Tory in recent years.

@WalkerMarcus RC Church was acutely embarrassed by BJ’s marriage, not least because of perception that rules had been bent. But that perception was wrong. Because he had been baptised RC, his earlier union was not recognised as a valid marriage and he was free to marry. No sleight of hand.

@SteveSkojec @xyz123736782 You certainly don’t lack confidence in your ability to interpret tradition. I fear it is a more complicated question than you think it is.

[Robert Teague @RFTeague]

@SteveSkojec @chosenaxiom It doesn’t, Steve. Their ecclesiology is all over the place for a start. Besides, you can’t simultaneously say that “Vatican 2 defined no new dogma” and “we reject the false doctrines of Vatican 2”.

[Robert Teague @RFTeague]

@BenedictSwiss @poperespecter1 The profession of Faith that SSPX refused to sign under Benedict, and still refuses.

[Robert Teague @RFTeague]

@mmcp1878 @AmusedToDeath1 Agreed - that has to be way off!

@Tom_McGovern_72 @lordpandaxx @KeithNester1 Not one of those organisations is Catholic. They are all breakaways.

@Mister_mister_h @MikeWingerii @w_bitterman Ok, so people misunderstanding Christianity. Fair point.

[Robert Teague @RFTeague]

@Mister_mister_h @MikeWingerii @w_bitterman Do any Christians believe that? Catholics certainly don’t.

[Robert Teague @RFTeague]

@SteveSkojec That’s not what got Galileo into trouble, Steve.

[Robert Teague @RFTeague]

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Great episode. Can someone put @RoryStewartUK straight on what happened with Galileo though?
