Here's an interesting quote from an interview with Fr. Michael Simoulin.
“And now we must open our eyes to another danger, that is not hypothetical, but very real: that of no
longer wishing to return to our legitimate place among the societies
recognized by Rome, of losing the desire for the Church and for Rome. No longer desiring a normal relation with Rome and the Church is a shadow of the schismatic spirit.
We have been living in independence from the Pope and the Bishops for a
very long time, as if that were normal. We pretend to defend the
doctrine, but we all run the risk of establishing a chosen doctrine,
abandoning certain dogmas, those that bother us, especially those
concerning the primacy of Peter. We all run the risk of becoming
accustomed to the abnormal, of living in a comfortable situation, as if
it were right and in conformity with the spirit of the Church. The Pope
and the bishops are little by little confined to the realm of the beings
“of reason”, with no influence on concrete life; Rome is no more than a
pilgrimage site, and the Church is a Mystical Body with Jesus Christ
for a head, the Holy Ghost for a soul, and the “Trads” for members. Our
priests can quickly become gurus. Everyone could be a Pope with his Denzinger in
hand, and every father of every family could be the Pope of his family.
In these conditions, our children would no longer have any idea of what
the real Church is in its full incarnation, from head to members, in
all the realities of daily life.”
