"And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more."I am a big fan of that principle. Justice and mercy are intimately related, and I would say the schismatics who masquerade as traditionalists certainly know better. Should these bishops be absolved from the censure of excommunication? If they are penitent, yes. Should the censures be declared null and void? Absolutely not, because they did something VERY wrong, while asserting they are as innocent as Christ. The Panzer Pontiff seems to be bending over backward for the SSPX bishops, when there is absolutely no promise of obedience in the future (they are not even obedient in the present).
-Luke 12:47-48
I dunno, maybe I'm just a little disgusted by Tissier de Mallerais accusing the Pope of being a material heretic and that incident when I attended a symposium and listened to Williamson proclaim, "Ratzinger is a modernist, his mind is mush."
My solution to the problem? Summon the four ugly ducklings to be tried before the Roman Pontiff and the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Sugnatura. If they don't yeild, break off all contact and declare the sentence of excommunication valid. Then proceed to systematically interdict and excomunicate all clergy and laity associated with the Society (as Bruskewitz has done). If they attend and are found guilty, give them the opportunity to do penance. If they don't, crush them. If they are innocent, then they are innocent.
Just don't give them a free pass... please, most Holy Father.
