I asked this question before and I did not get an answer. What does Fellay have to gain from selling out the SSPX? I do not understand his actions because I don't know what he would gain from them.
Matto, about two years or so ago, you could almost say there was a general consensus among Society priests that "canonical recognition" was most desirable. It was said that it would benefit the apostolate and bring into Tradition all the fence sitters and other interested Catholics. One priest, at present tending towards the Resistance, shocked me then by saying that there was no other way. ( I asked him why Abp L didnt go in for this canonical recognition, and he fell silent ). It was a mystery. Why did they want to be canonical recognised by a bunch of Modernist apostates?
What would Fellay gain from his actions? He would be seen as the leader who removed the heads of his ostriches from the sand in order to live in the 21st Century. We would gain nothing from joining the Conciliarists, but Fellay, after extensive dealing with them perhaps decided that they were nice, normal people, with a very decent pope and that we were in a out of date rut and had to be pulled out.
Remember, he is prepared to sacrifice doctrine. Yes indeed, what will he gain. He's still after a deal.
