[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CKQ86jEfihFu/en/sspx-and-the-state-of-emergency-in-traditional-catholic-life?t=7) Now, do you want my opinion on that? Yeah. Yeah.

[0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CKQ86jEfihFu/en/sspx-and-the-state-of-emergency-in-traditional-catholic-life?t=11) Okay. Absolutely. Purely my own opinion.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CKQ86jEfihFu/en/sspx-and-the-state-of-emergency-in-traditional-catholic-life?t=14) I think we have to make a distinction between a pan state of emergency, and a localized state of emergency.

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CKQ86jEfihFu/en/sspx-and-the-state-of-emergency-in-traditional-catholic-life?t=24) Um, and obviously states of emergency can be, uh, can be temporary.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CKQ86jEfihFu/en/sspx-and-the-state-of-emergency-in-traditional-catholic-life?t=27) They can be for a while, and then they can leave.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CKQ86jEfihFu/en/sspx-and-the-state-of-emergency-in-traditional-catholic-life?t=43) I've only said the old rite. I only do the old rite sacraments, uh, et cetera. I said the old rite bravery.

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CKQ86jEfihFu/en/sspx-and-the-state-of-emergency-in-traditional-catholic-life?t=53) Live, um, and I... And before that, I was in the fraternity.

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CKQ86jEfihFu/en/sspx-and-the-state-of-emergency-in-traditional-catholic-life?t=55) You can live a traditional life, um, without having to have recourse, um, to where you can have ordinary jurisdiction, where you're not making a recourse to, to, um, arguments that become a little bit, uh, could be dicey.
