This schism is nothing short of the reasoning behind Luther's schism. It is overall pride that has allowed this to continue, despite the Vatican's obvious attempts to reconcile differences. Do I believe reform is good for the Church, especially in the context of the TLM, absolutely. The TLM is and should be a valid mass no matter where you are.
However, the SSPX has not been working in good faith, and it is purposely seeding discord within the Church. This is in direct violation of the CCC and Christ's Teaching.
I pray all SSPX congregants repent their sins and return to the full knowledge and understanding of the Church, to include the priests and leadership of the SSPX.
I really don’t understand how they themselves don’t see the parallels. It’s a classic case of people being blinded by their own error. It’s not like these are stupid men.

Quite the contrary. They are very intelligent. But, maybe, they are too smart for their own good.
That’s my point. Smart people blinded by error.
And too prideful to admit it.
