While recognising its inevitability, I regret to make public some sad news :
At the General Chapter, which is presently being held at Écône, there was a vote taken on the decision of Bishop Fellay to exclude Bishop Williamson from the Chapter. Bishop Williamson sent an explanatory letter to each member of the Chapter regarding his understanding of the crisis that the FSSPX currently endures. (It has not yet been made public but will be made public; I have not read it.) Bishop Fellay abstained from voting. The final vote was 29 vs. 9 in favour of Bishop Fellay's decision to exclude Bishop Williamson.
Thus, we now have final proof that Bishop Fellay's coup of the Fraternity has been accomplished. His work is complete. Over two thirds of the members of the Chapter are his men. The FSSPX founded by the Archbishop, as we have known it and loved it over the years, is done.
Now, as the hardship we have expected nears, the SSPX clergy and faithful will be armed with this information when they make some weighty decisions for their futures and their families.
In this month of July, may you all be washed in the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, Whose Heart suffers because of our sins and lack of faith.

Well, so much for rumor.
This seems like pretty hard evidence that the current Superior General has stacked the deck in his favor. And why?
Why would he need to stack the deck, if he was only interested in continuing the fight for Tradition, along the lines of Archbishop Lefebvre?
When I heard about the new Prefect for the CDF (a heretic), I was hoping that even Bishop Fellay would have to call off a deal.
But now I'm not so certain.
Just remember: Bishop Rifan was a traditional Bishop as well.
Just look at the illegal exclusion of +Williamson from the General Chapter.
Bishop Rifan did a deal, and has celebrated the Novus Ordo Mass many times since then.
Who else might follow in +Rifan's footsteps?
