I haven't been asked to clarify yet but will do now regarding Fr Sherry and Fr Gallagher. Am I saying they have compromised? No but belong to a pious union, who surrendered and compromised formally with the doctrinal declaration.
People can get ratty and bitchy all they like but both priests have been silent. It doesn't mean they are for an agreement or for the doctrinal declaration that has not been withdrawn and bear in mind the points made by The Recusant earlier on the thread.
As as far as I can see Fr Bufe is the only priest in Ireland openly resisting.
Many have said it is not the correct time to be vocal. When is the correct time?
As I said the conference addressed all the questions in the crisis. Attending a Society Mass is a matter for a person's conscience now.

This is what +TdM told to Fr. Chazal. He told him that 9 months ago. He
said Fr. Chazal should wait "three months" and see what develops.
That was 9 months ago.. since then, +W was expelled, +F has said
he will not renew the consecration to the IHM and 'instead' is switching
to St. Joseph (?), then the AFD was leaked and +F got all PO'd about it.
There has been the exposee of GREC with the vague accusations of
"Internet rumour" that the Accordistas misapply to any inconvenient truth.
Now this BRANDING OF THE SSPX bomb explodes in the ammo bunker. If Fr. Chazal was supposed to wait 3 months 9 months ago and all this
is going on -- it's getting worse and worse, how can anyone in their
right mind say that it is not the correct time to be vocal?
What is the correct time? -is a great question. Looks like if they were
honest, they'd say "never."
There was a Pope, either Honorius or Liberius (not sure which) who
was condemned by a future Council not for heresy, but for NOT
SPEAKING OUT AGAINST HERESY when he should have. They said
that to remain silent in the face of such error is to seem to condone
it. So with today's SSPX priests. To remain silent under the sinful
demands of the Menzingen-denizens is to seem to approve of it.
