Divisions within the Traditionalist Movement
This chapter explores the divisions within the Traditionalist Movement from 1976 to 1988, discussing the schism resulting from a belief that Paul VI was only materially, not formally, the Pope. It also examines the formation of new priestly societies that refused to follow the bishops' orders and continued to celebrate the traditional mass. The chapter touches on the mixed feelings traditionalists had towards Pope John Paul II and discusses the tensions between traditionalists and those who disliked them.
