They're obviously trying to stay as discreet as possible about this because they don't want to give any more fuel to the lunatics in the media or society in general. For good or ill, they think that taking down articles and trying to be silent will help matters. They are trying to quiet the beast by these actions, by removing him from the seminary and forbidding him to speak publicly. They obviously understand these laws and consequent charges are most unjust and evil.

My opinion of the SSPX has gone pretty low. Bishop Williamson is a holy Bishop suffering grave persecution at the hands of his "brother" priests and bishops. He is like Christ.

My opinion of Mr. Hoffmann had gone low, but

THIS ARTICLE NHAS NAILED IT!

There has been dead silence on the part of SSPV and assorted SV groups, doing their тαℓмυdic thing.

They already know that the hungry beast can never be satisfied. How many [false]apologies did JP2 offer the ingrates ? How many visits to the Wailing Wall?

That's right. They're covering up the truth to please a world that has gone insane. Thank you for nailing the whole problem with the SSPX's compromising approach.

From false premises -- that one should dialogue with non-Catholic usurpers to bring them around to being Catholic -- lead false conclusions -- that one must play nice with the enemy and be "diplomatic."

But if you accept the premises, if you accept that Bishop Fellay's approach is correct, as you must if you are in SSPX -- otherwise you'd be sedevacantist -- then he is doing the right thing.

Don't blame me. I am not the one who suggested you dialogue with Judaizers. But if you do this, don't expect to insult their sacred cow, the h0Ɩ0cαųst, and get away with it.

I cannot say for sure the SSPX are "part of the plot" but it sure looks that way. This all reminds me of some absurdist farce by Samuel Beckett like Waiting for Godot, where a bunch of faceless figures are involved in some Sisyphean task that never ends. The SSPX says they are on the offensive and they are going to make the Vatican admit its mistakes, but in reality they are constantly on the defensive and having to cover up the truth so that the world doesn't think they are rude.

The SSPX trying to dialogue with the Vatican is like Alice in Wonderland having dialogue with the Mad Hatter. Or like me going on Fox News and arguing with Ann Coulter about the true Church. I'd end up looking just as dumb as she does, because she'd bring the debate around to some kind of frustratingly lowest-common-denominator level.

You can't enter an unreal world and make it real. It's called casting pearls before swine.

They may, but they (or some of them) may not. Silence, for better or worse, about the entire matter leaves it open to interpretation.

Considering the forces at work that brought about the devastation of the V2 and post-V2 period, the idea that such forces continue their work, seeking to sow discord and confusion within the resistance has merit (and makes perfect sense). Time will tell, but to think all within Traddieland are on the same team, so to speak, is, IMO, naive. The SSPX, being the most visible and sizable organization from the early days, has always had a bit of a bullseye upon it where infiltration is concerned.

Godspeed, Matthew.
