At the root of all disputes: Where is the Church?

Most greatly deplored among those who have resisted the changes of Vatican II is that they themselves cannot get along with one another. For although they agree on the fundamental necessity of resisting the reform of Vatican II, they nevertheless manage to tear one another apart over other issues. In fact, “traditionalists” spend most of their energies in combating one another, and not the modernists. This state of affairs certainly must be a delight to the devil, since this infighting immeasurably weakens the resistance to modernism.

At the root of nearly all of the disputes is the question of the Church. Where is the Church? Is the Catholic Faith to be identified with the Novus Ordo religion? This question is thorny, since, if you answer affirmatively, i.e., that the Novus Ordo religion is the Catholic Faith, then resistance to it becomes schismatic and possibly heretical. On the other hand, if the answer be negative, then there arises the problem of the Catholic Church without a visible hierarchy.
