Well, where are all of the folks who were convinced Bishop Fellay was selling out ?

Anyhow, he is correct. Nothing has changed. The majority of the hierarchy are of poisoned minds and any trad clergy can see that.

I wish the trad clergy who are not affiliated with New Rome would unite and proclaim what they are, the true Roman Catholic Church. It will flourish as New Rome rots.

How do you take anything away from what he said?

Towards the end, Fellay said that if the Society does not accept the Preamble, Rome "may" declare us schismatic, although "Rome didn't really put it that way". Fellay then told his listeners, "So, be ready, then." According to him, "it is not the end yet" but things may become very difficult. If they must go through "another trial", then "glory to God, and glory to the Blessed Virgin"!

At the same time, Fellay said that they have "information" that the Pope may have something "even better to give us in place of what we now have". (It was not entirely clear
what was meant by that.)

It's not at all clear what's going to happen, just that the "doctrinal preamble" is seems like too much for them to swallow at this time.

I think Bishop Fellay's conduct has spoken for itself - but that doesn't ever mean I thought an agreement was imminent. I think it will take some years yet - but what's evident now is there is a path towards an agreement that is being followed.

schismatic from what? A heretical church, that is a blessing. You can't proclaim people to be schismatic from a church you yourself are not part of.

Let's not disregard what Ethelred told us about Father Pflueger's talk and its cold reception.

You people take what is spoken to the public too much at face value.

I just feel Bishop Fellay is the same as he was 5 years ago. Just my opinion.

I trust him more that I do anyone in Rome.
