It's been well over 20 years, right?  Where's their bishop?

If they ever do get a "bishop" (and they won't), it will just be some invalidly consecrated novus ordo guy.

The FSSP deserve everything they get.
They have made very bad compromises, and they are in communion with that antiCatholic Rat in the Vatican.

FSSP has been a poison since its very creation because it recognizes the novus ordo mass as the "primary mass" in the Latin Rite; and it recognizes Vat II Council as a "valid" Council. FSSP is simply a trick.

And yes, the FSSP are a trick.

It looks like having a go at St.Peter's Fraternity is standard fare here. It's nothing new that they receive grief from all sides, really just because and for no other reason that they do not accept opinions doing the rounds about the alleged invalidity of the new rites.

They do just the work of orthodox doctrinal catechesis and traditional liturgical orthopraxis, under the Roman authorities, exactly as the Pius X society did for several years before them, and who still acknowledge that authority. The Catholic Church needs at the moment and for the future exactly such seminaries, even if it draws down persecution on their heads from those who wield power at the moment, for God is in charge. The agreement they signed in 1988 is almost identical to that seriously considered and originally signed by Archbishop Lefebvre.

Their priests are zealous for souls and the needs of their flock. They began several years after the SSPV, with comparatively fewer priests, do not have the relative free reign which is the advantage of independent communities, yet now have over 200 solid priests and over 150 seminarians, as well as been instrumental in the wide promotion of the traditional Mass among diocesan priests, over a 100 since Summorum Pontificuм just a few years ago. This is the beginning, this is part of the solution.

On the subject of an FSSP bishop.  Should someone file a missing person's report?  

What's the hold up?  Why no bishop consecrated from the ranks of the FSSP?

Why no bishop?  

Is it because they were established to give the illusion of tradition?  That sounds unkind but is it true?

Why did the novus ordo establish the FSSP, if not to draw members of the SSPX back into the NO trap?  

Some Reasonable Assessmentss:

1.  If new church keeps a small "traditionalist" group on a leash then it can always proclaim its theological broadness.  It can point to the FSSP along with the LCSW heretical nuns and say "See how big a church we are?"

2.  The FSSP would shepard those oldtimers who were raised in the Tridentine Rite to their graves, then when the last pre-vatican II Catholic dies, they can close shop and pick up their hula hoop and be a good old regular presider.

3.  Catholics disgusted by the novus ordo will, upon discovering the FSSP, open their wallets willingly.  These Catholics will gladly donate to the FSSP basket thinking cheerfully that tradition has returned.  This FSSP coffer can be milked by novus ordo churches in the diocese for special pet project, or to just pay novus ordo bills.

What are reasons that we can't say are reasons???

1.  The return of Tradition.  Why not?  Because if the return of tradition was intended by the conciliarists then the FSSP would not have one bishop they could probably have 7 - 9 bishops and maybe even a cardinal.  The FSSP was established in 1988 by JPII and now, 24 yrs later, only has approx. 190 priests?  Add in the 50 from the ICKSP and together that's 240.  The SSPX by itself has 600 priests with another 200 in seminary.  So, the growth of tradition can be crossed off as a reason for the FSSP.

Three Hopeful options.

1) Can we hope that the FSSP will help pick up the pieces when the concilliar madness comes to an end?  

2) Is it possible that within the next half century, the FSSP will eventually get its first bishop and continue to blossom?

3) Is it possible that 100 years from now, after the collapse of the concilliar church, the Latin rite worldwide will be indistinguishable from the FSSP?  

Or are these three hopeful options merely wishful thinking and that the Catholic Church is the traditionalist groups, i.e., SSPX, CMRI, SSPV and the independents?
