I'll go one further on the SSPX's need for loyalty. The SSPX had 3 important "sheddings" that marked its history and formed its current personality. The SSPX are keenly aware that these "sheddings" cannot continue under the management of the four new bishops: 1) Sede Shedding: The ejection of "the Nine" in the Spring of 1983 that morphed into divided American Sedevacantism (Frs. Cekeda, Dolan, Sanborn, Jenkins, Kelly, et al.). This led the SSPX to forge armor against the attacks of sedevacantism from their right flank. 2) FSSP Shedding: In 1988, a chunk of the SSPX withdrew and sought full canonical status with Rome, becoming the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) and gave birth the Ecclesia Dei Communities. This led the SSPX to create a tighter apologetic against "compromise with Rome." 3) Bp. Williamson Shedding: One of the four bishops was expelled/left in 2012 to form a "SSPX resistence" movement that fizzled out. Symbolically, this was the breaking of the brotherhood. I'm not sure how the SSPX generally perceives this, as many SSPX laity seem to have a nostalgic veneration for Williamson. This "shedding" in particular reveals that the SSPX could have endless "we are more trad than you" breakaways over time.

The four new SSPX bishops will be American, Swiss, and French (2). But why? Some suggest this means that they don't care about Latin America. Rather, I think it points to choosing men who are 110% loyalists to the SSPX. It was a grave embarrassment to the SSPX to have one of the original four (Bp. Williamson) break ranks and spin off into a splinter "resistance" group. If that were to happen again, it would be disastrous for the SSPX with regard to their lay supporters and also with the Holy See. So they chose young priests who are 110% loyal and that can work together in unity over the next (gulp) 40-50 years.

@shiningsweu Bishop Strickland should be doing one thing with this new encyclical…….ACCEPTING IT WITH RELIGIOUS ASSENT OF INTELLECTUAL AND WILL. Of course he is sowing dissent. But oh well, I guess he is part of the new magisterium.

@AngelusPress If the pope excommunicates you then you are excommunicated period. There is no supplied jurisdiction when the pope or his representatives say there is not.

For Pope Leo XIV, it is not only the Catholic Just War Theory that is outdated; Catholic doctrine itself also appears outdated to him, which is why he promotes the Protestant Synod that seeks to dismantle the Catholic Church, leaving not one stone upon another.
Michael Haynes 🇻🇦@MLJHaynes

Pope Leo XIV writes that the Catholic teaching on Just War Theory “is now outdated” “Today, more than ever, without prejudice to the right to self-defense in the strictest sense, it is important to reaffirm that the 'just war' theory, which has all too often been used to justify any kind of war, is now outdated.” Details on @PelicanCatholic

Mark Levin must run 2028. He’s a true loyalist. Anyone else would be an utter disgrace. Loomer as VP.

I’m going to try a new experiment: as I read through Leo’s new encyclical on magnificent humanity. I will give my initial impressions using individual tweets as I read through the document for the first time, sight unseen, creating a thread. Follow along below. (1/?)

(cont.) Leo XIV’s Encyclical Magnifica Humanitas: Some Problematic Areas  1-“Dynamic” Social Doctrine and historical adaptation 
The encyclical emphasizes the “dynamic character” of Catholic social doctrine and presents it less as a stable body of principles and more as a “theology of communion in history.” 
This is typical post–Vatican II modernism. This type of language suggests that doctrine evolves according to historical consciousness and contemporary circumstances rather than remaining permanently anchored in immutable truths. The concern is that “pastoral adaptation” gradually becomes doctrinal fluidity. 2-The repeated exaltation of “humanity” 
Even the title, Magnifica Humanitas (“Magnificent Humanity”), already signals a strong anthropocentric emphasis. Throughout the text, expressions about “human dignity,” “human flourishing,” “shared responsibility,” and “remaining human” appear constantly. 
This is a continuation of the postconciliar shift from God-centered theology toward man-centered discourse, where humanity itself increasingly becomes the emotional and rhetorical center of ecclesial language. 3-The language of universal communion and inclusivity 
The encyclical stresses “communion,” “solidarity,” and broad cooperation among political leaders, scientists, educators, and global institutions. 
This is another expression of the post–Vatican II tendency toward universal human fraternity language that  appears less concerned with the distinction between truth and error, Church and world, conversion and coexistence. 4-The relativization of Just War Theory 
There are passages implying that traditional Catholic Just War Theory is “outdated” or insufficient in the age of AI warfare. 
This is extremely sensitive because Just War Theory is not viewed as a temporary political framework but as part of the broader Catholic moral tradition developed over centuries. 5-The emphasis on “shared discernment” 
The text describes social doctrine as “shared discernment.” 
That vocabulary strongly resembles Synodal language: dialogue, listening, collective processes, and historical accompaniment. This weakens the classical Catholic understanding of authoritative teaching flowing from Revelation and the Magisterium. 6-The tone toward modern global governance 
The encyclical favors international cooperation, regulatory frameworks, oversight bodies, and global ethical coordination regarding AI. 
This is another manifestation of postconciliar optimism toward supranational structures and technocratic governance, associated with modern globalist tendencies. 7-The emotional-humanitarian style itself 
A broader issue is stylistic. The rhetoric is highly emotional, humanitarian, and civilizational rather than ascetical, doctrinal, or supernatural. One repeatedly encounters themes such as vulnerability, fraternity, human suffering, dialogue, dignity, and coexistence. 
 This appears as Christianity translated into the language of modern humanitarian ethics rather than the language of sin, redemption, sacrifice, judgment, sanctity, and salvation.

@raefejenkins Massie is a Methodist. Needs to come on over to the CAtholic side. Probably believes contraception is something great, when it’s destroyed the modern family.

@JohnTraddington The church has never changed any teaching thats part of the revealed deposit of faith. There is no betrayal by the magisterium. Not sure what planet you live on.

The betrayal of the Catholic faithful into thinking truth can be "outdated" is one of the worst effects of the revolution of Vatican II.
