Even with the heretics of the early Church, like those in our time, they are usually of a ugly breed seeking the most notorious ways to shame, humiliate and exile those who are orthodox.
It is providential on the Feast of Saint Anthansius that the German Church bishops, the ones like the persecutors of poor Saint Anthanasius, are meeting in Rome with Pope Francis, along with St. Anthanasius-like German bishops and cardinal, to discuss what will certainly affect the Church either in a negative, nihilistic sort of way or in a thoroughly orthodox and beneficial sort of way. Which way will be decided?
Maybe not in my lifetime, but eventually the Holy Spirit always wins--which is always Orthodoxy and Truth in which there can never be any idolatry!
Remember, the Church is guided by the Holy Spirit and the dictators of heterodoxy and heresy never ultimately win although at times they seem to have the upper hand by their stealthy, corrupt ways.

If there's a new Saint Anthansius, he will maintain communion with the Pope.
Pax.

Speaking of . . .
“The situation of the official prohibition, persecution and stigmatisation of the venerable millennium-old Roman rite, could be compared to the situation of an exile. Those numerous priests, religious and faithful who suffered from this situation, could paraphrase the following words of the Psalmist: ‘Upon the rivers of Babylon, in the liturgical exile, there we sat and wept: when we remembered Sion, the traditional Roman liturgy, the liturgy of all our forefathers and of the Saints’ (Ps. 136: 1).”
