Blah blah.
The SSPX wants freedom to save souls.
Rome is not sure it wants the souls to be saved.
Rome believes in a counterfeit Catholicism, and we are no longer concerned they should ever revert back to the Faith.
We just want to coexist on equal footing with heretics.
Wait a minute:
Don't we have the freedom to preach the faith today without worry of suppression, and believe that the sanctions levied against us are bogus?
Then why cut a deal that implies worry about the sanction, jeopardizes our liberty, and castrates any hope of a Roman return to the Faith?
We have been lied to if it is now acceptable to sign a practical deal whilst all the heresies remain promoted in Rome.
Archbishop Lefebvre would never go along with this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you didn't read the communique? It's basically saying that Bishop Fellay agrees with your statement!
Maybe you need to read it again.
We are negotiating a practical deal while the doctrinal matters remain unresolved.
Bishop Fellay is saying that he cannot sign the preamble because of certain ambiguous passages.
But what you are missing is that, apparently, there would be no problem signing a deal with the modernists if there were no ambiguous passages!
In other words, we don't care if Rome wants to convert or not.
Just give us our liberty, we will forget about ABL's requirement that, for the good of the whole Church, Rome convert before we will sign any practical agreement.
The struggle is not about what the SSPX can broker for itself.
It is about bringing sanity back to Rome, since only she can restore the Church!
A practical agreement while Rome is still out in left field neutralizes any reasonable hope of this in out time.
