In order for this book to have a happy ending we'll need newly ordained bishops.

As long as they are carefully chosen and qualified for the task, then I agree.

Ordaining bishops too soon -- or the wrong priest(s) -- would be worse for Tradition than doing it when the time is right.

Just think of the harm a bad priest can do. Now magnify that for a Bishop.

Each priest has a "vocation" to that state. A similar vocation exists -- or doesn't exist -- for each priest called to the Episcopate.

Absolutely spot on!. What must be remembered is that no CV ( so to speak) is available on the current Resistance priests. No doubt Bishop Williamson will also seek character references from their former superiors.

(It might be interesting to see what happens if Dr. White presents himself
for Communion at an Accordista chapel.)

Or a book signing. :wink:
