    • Can anybody elaborate on the lifting of the excommunication of the four Bishops?

    Specifically,  
    i)   How was the request made, for example was it a joint request to Rome or did each Bishop have to ask individually?

    ii)   Why did he consent to it when it was unjust in the first place?

    It was in the context of the doctrinal talks. I think it was more Rome's choice than the SSPX requesting it, although I seem to recall something about Bp. Fellay and the previous Superior General repeatedly writing letters requesting such a lifting of the "excommunications."

    probably just to clear the record

    • Bishop Williamson neither asked, nor consented.  The entire thing was negotiated through Bishop Fellay as the S.G.
