What if along with the ban of the diocesan TLM the SSPX is given approval from Rome to consecrate bishops and something like a personal prelature is set-up for the SSPX where all of the indult/former ecclesiastical Dei priestly fraternities are eventually consolidated (re-uniting the FSSP with the SSPX for example)?
I know speculation like this has been circulated on this forum for years, but what if this finally happens when people are least suspecting and are ready to go to war with Bergolio over his so-called ban of the TLM?
All of his conservative Novus Ordo critics will praise him for doing this.
Meanwhile they will try to alienate traditional Catholic faithful, priests, bishops, and will call them “schismatics and excommunicated” like +Vigano.
Soon after they can start adding in St. Pope Paul VI feast into a revised “62 missal”.
