As much as we laity think we have issues, I am concerned about the priests who have vowed their lives to the Society. That adds an extra dilemma of conscience for them. It will not be an easy trial for them. We must redouble our prayers for them.
As unfortunate as it is to see +Fellay swaying, the deal is not done yet (or at least not announced) and perhaps this feedback will serve as a necessary wake-up call for him. That is my hope.
We ALL desire unity with Rome, those who accuse otherwise are just looking to pick a fight, however, it cannot be under these circumstances. The history of these superficial deals has repeated itself too many times. I don't understand why "deals" need to be made anyway. This isn't a business proposition. We are Catholics within the flock what more do we need that is worth a compromise?
I don't even need to get into nitty gritty of the doctrinal talks. Just the reminder that this is the Pope who is planning to canonize Pope John Paul II is all I need to know where his heart and mind truly are. Canonize. Pope John Paul II. A pro-tradition gesture here and there can't minimize the clear signs that he is still modernist at heart.
+Williamson was already preaching 15 years ago (and maybe longer, the sermon I heard was 15 years ago) that the SSPX is only a vehicle and we had to keep our eyes and ears open at all times because we never knew when/if it would be taken away. It's hard to believe we are on that precipice. Time will tell but the fear that the Society will be handcuffed, weakened and swallowed up just like all the others is very warranted.

Yes, I remember reading this and at that time I thought it was far fetched. BpW obviously had his finger on the pulse a long time ago!
