8.2. Aren’t you just bitter or divisive by rejecting the Pope and Vatican II?

Not at all. We are deeply saddened by the crisis in the Church, but we are not acting out of bitterness—we are acting out of fidelity. Love of truth sometimes requires hard decisions, even if unpopular. Christ Himself said He came not to bring peace but the sword (Matt. 10:34), to divide truth from error, fidelity from compromise.

True unity must be in truth, not in false peace or artificial agreement. We long for the day when a true Pope is restored to the Chair of Peter. Until then, we stay with the unchanging faith, sacraments, and Mass handed down through the ages.
