WHERE PETER IS COMPLAINS BITTERLY ABOUT “CONSERVATIVE” CATHOLICS WHO BEGAN TO BE OVERLY CRITICAL OF POPE FRANCIS AND SOME OF HIS POLARIZING TEACHINGS AND POLICIES AND THE NATIONAL cATHOLIC REPORTER COMPLAINS ABOUT THE FSSPX GLORIFYING THEIR SCHISM, BUT NEITHER COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LIBERAL SCHISM IN THE CHURCH THAT BEGAN IMMEDIATELY AFTER VATICN II

 Should Roman Catholic Women Priests bishops be invited to certain Vatican Masses and Divine Office Liturgies. Are the FSSPX worse than Roman Catholic Women Priests Roman Catholic Parishes? I ask; you answer:

https://www.romancatholicwomenpriests.org/index.php/

And this article in the National catholic Reporter laments the horrors of the schismatic and gloating FSSPX parish in Boston along with their fiddleback vestments—such horrors! 

Since the FSSPX is in schism like the Eastern Orthodox Church, shouldn’t the NcR and others be more conciliatory towards the FSSPX as they are towards the Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Anglican Communion and others Protestant Sects.

Shouldn’t the FSSPX be invited by the Pope to certain Masses at St. Peter’s as Eastern Orthodox Prelates are on a regular basis?  Both now share in the glories of not being in full Communion with the Church but the Orthodox are invited to participate in papal liturgies and so have been the Anglicans and other Protestant clergy—is it time now for the FSSPX bishops to be invited? 

SSPX excommunication hasn't stopped Boston church from defying the Vatican

I don’t like using the terms “conservative and liberal” to describe Catholics and what they believe as these are political terms not religious. I prefer heterodox and orthodox.

Mike Lewis complains bitterly that “conservative” Catholics known for their ultramontanism prior to Pope Francis became like the “liberal” Catholics who denigrated Popes Paul VI, John Paul II and Benedict XVI for their “conservative” magisterial teachings and this disobedience and disrespect came from cardinals, other bishops, other clergy, the religious and laity in the Church. 

“Liberals” can be heterodox just as “conservatives” can be heterodox. 

I am not sure that when “conservative” Catholics turned on Pope Francis for what they perceived to be his polarizing, incoherent teachings and policies that that was heterodoxy although it may well have been mortal sins against charity in terms of how they did it. 

But I do think that when “liberal” Catholics demand that women or whatever gender or form of marriage an individual may have, they should be ordained to Holy Orders, celebrate their sexual relations with anyone or everyone as Holy Matrimony and that the Most Holy Eucharist should be distributed to everyone, everyone, everyone, no matter their religion or moral status before God. That is heterodoxy pure and simple and the greatest crisis facing the Church today.

It isn’t conservative’s heterodoxy or sins against charity that is the Church’s greatest crisis or the FSSPX schism. It is the liberal schism that is the greatest crisis in the Church today, but not acknowledged in the highest places of the Church.

The fact that Cupich remains the archbishop of Chicago two and one half years after he turned 75, is all you need to know about corruption in the Church. The Archdiocese of Chicago is in virtual freefall so why is he still there?
He is part of the problem you are pointing out, Father McDonald. They should appoint native-son, Thomas Prapocki of Springfield, Archbishop, but they won't because is supportive of the TLM and he has banned fake Catholic, Senator Dick Durbin, from receiving Holy Communion in Springfield.

More "fruits" of Vatican II:

even Catholic churches in northwest Minnesota will stop holding Sunday Mass.

The diocese has been seeing declining attendance at the services, as well as a shortage of priests. Last fall, Bishop Andrew Cozzens began meeting with parishes to come up with a long-term plan for the diocese.

The seven churches are St. Philip in Falun, St. Mary in Badger, St. Francis Xavier in Okless, St. Ann in Goodridge,, St. Francis of Assisi in Fisher, St. Mary in Euclid and St. Joseph in Oslo, the Grand Forks Herald reported.

This will bring the total number of parishes down from 65 to 58. Cozzens said that half of the diocese's 32 priests will be eligible to retire over the next decade.

The diocese will begin looking at the parishes on the southern side of the state this fall, with the goal of running the diocese on 25 priests.
