I think there is room for both methods:

1. "Focus on rebuilding". Yes that is true, we must all do are part in this.
2. "Ramp-up arguments, meetings, and campaigns to persuade those SSPX priests on the fence." Yes, this is needed also. Although there might not be many left, but there are a few that would be wiling to leave the SSPX if enough people (preferably Resistance Bishops and Priests) reached out to them and made it know they are still welcome and there is no hard feelings.

Your original post was excellent and really set the stage for discussion. Looking back from 2025, I wonder: with the Neo-SSPX now fully entrenched since 2012, how do we evaluate “rebuilding” versus “persuading priests on the fence”? Are there still any truly persuadable priests left, or has the landscape shifted so much that what was possible in 2018 is no longer realistic? What does authentic fidelity demand of us now in terms of outreach and discernment?

Yes — but the critical distinction is this: cases like Fr. Stark or Fr. Hesse involved men ordained in the new rite by bishops consecrated in the old rite, where at least validity could still be reasonably defended. +Archbishop Lefebvre and the pre-2012 SSPX did at times accept such men after investigation.

What the Neo-SSPX does today is something else entirely. They make no distinction at all, routinely accepting priests ordained in the new rite by bishops themselves consecrated in the new rite — a double rupture that +Lefebvre never permitted as a blanket practice. To present this as a continuity with +Lefebvre is false.

And to expand on the point above, Satan wages war not only in the present but across generations, building a temporal anti-Church through the ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan, whose hatred and deception are passed down and concealed within worldly institutions. By accepting priests ordained in the New Rite by Novus Ordo bishops, the Neo-SSPX opens itself to full infiltration, allowing the Novus Ordo agenda to operate under the guise of Tradition. If God does not intervene with a temporal chastisement, this subversion may endure for the next hundred years, embedding error within what appears to be the faithful priesthood. These priests give the appearance of fidelity while executing the designs of the temporal anti-Church.

I guess Pope Eugenius IV & Card Nicolas are heretics.   

So what?  ABL isn’t infallible.  If the FORM of new rites are so ambiguous and poorly worded that they require a MENTAL intention of the minister, then that’s pathetic.  And dangerous.  And highly doubtful. 

Ok, so you know better than ABL.

Over the last two months i have been diagnosed with motor neurone disease

Gradually all my muscles deteriorate until death.

Already my arms and legs are losing their function.

If I disappear from CIF you will know what happened.

Will keep going as long as I can.
