Rita" says: "Thus surrounded, there is little chance that the new Superior General will change anything to the line followed since the year 2000."

Joseph" posts the following explanation by "Ennemond" [who is actually Jacques Regis du Cray, unofficial lay apologist and spokesman of the SSPX, and producer of the sanitized Archbishop Lefebvre movie -X], regarding the creation of "Counselors" and the expansion of the General Counsel:
"Ennemond explains the reason for these appointments: to ensure continuity (underlying the rallying) :
Extended General Council by Ennemond 2018-07-20 21:37:48 PrintThe question of enlarging the General Council has already been debated in recent months. The Fraternity having reached 650 priests, this decision now seems logical. The General Council of the Fathers of the Holy Spirit, of which Bishop Lefebvre was the Superior General elected in 1962, was composed of six members, to try to represent the different nations composing the congregation.The function of "counselor" did not exist in the statutes of the Society of Saint Pius X. The capitulants must have defined the prerogatives of these councillors. Using the expression "additional general councillors", the communiqué does not seem to distinguish between assistants and councillors. In any case, the obvious choice to call upon the two former superiors general underlines a desire to ensure continuity."
Joseph:" Now all hope of a return to true brotherhood is truly dead."
