Many or indeed most of the softline SSPX folk are more suited to the Indult.

I agree fully with "How to help the cause revisited" (p8). When I read it, I thought it made perfect sense and is a practical and logical step by step.

adopting a stance if it is the right one to take. And we are convinced that it is.

The only stance I am adopting is supporting the resistance. I am convinced it is the right stance to take.

Quote from: hollingsworth

The point being that all priest in the Society are, apparently, not on the same page when it comes to indult attendance.

No of course they're not.
Inconsistency on this question is one of the many signs of decay in the modern SSPX. In France there is a fashion for getting married with two priests: an indult priest who does the exchange of vows and a Society priest who says the Mass. It is iniquitous, because it is tantamount to approving the old lie that SSPX marriages are not valid. But it happens all the time now. Fr. Chazal's niece was married that way.

The priests of the Society are not "on the same page" on the question of the legitimacy of the Novus Ordo, whether Vatican II should be thrown out or merely 'reformed', or whether it can be simply 'read in the light of Tradition', and so many more things besides. It has lost its unity after having first having seen a diminishing of its Apostolicity, its Catholicity and its holiness.

It might be useful to listen again to Fr. Pfeiffer explaining the crisis in the SSPX in relation to the Four Marks of the Church:

There are few really in Ireland, who are SSPX 100%

That may have to do with the fact that SSPX is not 100% SSPX any longer. If you have a superior general who admits that 95% of V2 can pass muster, (and did so now more than a decade ago), and if, furthermore, he states that the New Mass was "legitimately promulgated," how could one expect that the Fellay-flavored sspx might be 100% Lefebvrian SSPX. Add to that our knowledge that as early as 1997, Bp. Fellay was actively conspiring with others to find a way of being practically reunited with Rome. Is it any wonder that the faithful are all over the lot on this one? It's been years since SSPX priests and leaders have not blown a clear trumpet blast from the pulpit.
