Well observed.

As for the laity... we need to pray many rosaries and do penances. Just my thoughts on the matter. |
I'm afraid we unfortunately can't count on Bishop de Galarreta. Although I'm confident he's a good priest and bishop, he has got a sensible impairment to health (if this is the correct English term) which more or less often prevents him from working in the "business as usual" style.
Maybe Bp Tissier de Mallerais together with a few faithful priests (like Fr Pfeiffer?) will establish a new kind of priestly group or such, but also this is only vague and very difficult. Bishop Williamson seems to think he's too old and isolated to start a new Archbishop Lefebvre group...
So the "organised resistance" will be minimal, if it will be at all. I'm afraid the SSPX founded by Archbishop Lefebvre is dead now officially. Its agony was visible for some years (and the year 2009 being an eye-opener). The society has done a good job, though. Well, our modern time doesn't deserve another Archbishop Lefebvre society but another Flood. If we observe the signs of our time we see there is a storm brewing. I think we now enter the time of real suffering. First for us Catholics, soon for the entire world. May God have mercy upon us.

I don't think Fellay's position is all that secure. I think exposing this man in a concise manner and getting the word out (the SSPX is not that large of a group) by handing out pamphlets making videos blogging etc we may be able to make him very unpopular.

They can do it. They're bishops. They can consecrate new bishops. And they can preach. Even if it's only to one congregation.
What they mustn't do is let Bishop Fellay be regarded as a legitimate heir to the Archbishop.
