Hi,
I find all of your positions, are allowed and in a way encouraged within the Catholic faith.
Even popes have held private views counter to what they actually followed.
And you are right about Saints, some of them fought the church on the church's errors.
That is a saints job while on earth also.
I love your correct position, in doing what the church says. We all do that.
My full support is with you, even if it turns out, you later figure out, that you are wrong.
It is not important for all of us to be, without error.
It is important, I think and feel, for us to try and be without error.
Rome, per say, has never been perfect also.
My favorite item so far with you, is that you object, without objecting to the church itself.
If I were not involved, in correcting the church, and other churchs, perhaps I would not see you for what you are really saying.
The fight, that you are in, I am not in. Because of that, I cannot help more than this now.
Help, from me would be Catholic Help, meaning that I would address any error you had nicely, but if there was any support because you are right, that too you would get. Further, both of those would be in equal amounts, even though one of those is more pleasant to me, than the other one. Support for rightness, is more important, ah pleasant, ah pleasant not important.
Biblically, which is primarily the first and best source, and from which the CCC, was derived from, agrees with your actions also, as far as I can tell.
Maybe Pope Benedict xvi in his recently released interview can shed some light for you
"The missionaries of the 16th century were convinced that the unbaptized person is lost forever. After the [Second Vatican] Council, this conviction was definitely abandoned. The result was a two-sided, deep crisis. Without this attentiveness to the salvation, the Faith loses its foundation."
He also speaks of a “profound evolution of Dogma” with respect to the Dogma that there is no salvation outside the Church. This purported change of dogma has led, in the pope's eyes, to a loss of the missionary zeal in the Church – “any motivation for a future missionary commitment was removed.”

It is clear what pope benedict xvi thinks.
This is why until a future council is held to address these issues with vatican 2. I hold fast to the traditions passed down through the ages... Its not that i reject vatican ii but until it is formally addressed i will consider v2 as was the intention of pope john xxiii as a pastoral council that has not authority of an infallible council. I also reject other all other novilties since vatcian 2 until it is made clear. While i do not reject the new mass as invalid as that would contadict the promise of our lord to protect his church i reject them as being illicit.
Well i am not a priest and i am married so i doubt i will be joining the sspx at time soon.
I have a Taditionalist Roman Catholic mindset and there is nothing wrong with that dispite what you may have been told.
I grew up with the new mass i am a cradle catholic believe me when i say i held a more "common" modernist idea of catholicism so trust me when i say that what i say i do not say lightly. It is my opinion Rome is in Apostacy... never the less the pope is the pope and we must respect the petrine office.
It is my opinion that The vatican is for the large part in the control of freemasons and the seat of peter has been undermined by those under the influence of the masoic powers for sometime
Yes it seems i do hold a lot of their mindset... but not all.
When i say traditional catholic it is so others can identify that i am not modernist progressive or conservitive... that i hold the catholic faith passed down throughout the history of the church.
When i say in my opinion rome is in apostacy it is my opinion rome no longer holds to the full deposit of faith handed down by the apostles... that is not to say every cardinal bishop etc... just there are many in the holy see who are in my opinion in apostacy. So i do believe in a one holy catholic and apostolic faith.
It is my opinion that until recently i have been decieved and many other good catholics are still under that deception.
Yes i believe we should adhear to the teachings of the popes the succesors of peter.
I did not declare that rome is in apostacy... i said in my opinion rome is in apostacy... that rome is under the influence of freemasons.
Its opinion i share with our lady and countless other saints who forsaw our time.
Hey, i am not saying you should believe me... do your own research and dont be affraid of what people may say or accuse you of.
Yeah i see your point and maybe i might be over reacting somewhat. But i think the problems need to be addressed and that is for the authorities in rome to address. Regardless rome is the governing authority of the church and we must remain in communion with the holy see. Pray for the pope bishops and cardinals and hope the crisis gets resolved soon
LOVE,
