If you're familiar enough with the situation to cite it as an example, can you give us a timeline?
No. I cannot.

Other than the most important. 

19??-2014
Brazil as a country being mostly Catholic has limited to no access to Traditional sacraments in most of the country

2015
Bishop Williamson finally gives Brazil a Traditional bishop (again). 


2026
Brazil as a country has extremely limited to no access to Traditional Sacraments in most of the country. 


If the SSPX administered as badly in the US as the Holy Cross monastery does in Brazil, there would hardly be any chapels at all here. 

It’s like if Bishop Pivarunas tried to be nearly the only priest offering Mass at his chapels. His chapels would be without Mass all the time, so to keep them under his thumb he would have to ban other priests from offering Mass there.

Considering my experience, if you are in Brazil, you are better off with an independent priest. The SSPX has all the problems that we all know about, but at least they are organized.

All the other groups are an incredible and huge mess.

The moral authority of the Holy Cross monastery is seemingly a couple of nuns from Rio Grande do Sul. They wrote a book about how men are not allowed to wear blue jeans anywhere at anytime unless they are modernists. Completely accepted as truth by the Holy Cross Monastery.

I’m pretty sure no one in the American resistance is really a Traditionalist by their standards.

Just a couple of points from + Tomas newsletter 2023, Christmas. A tiny glimpse of the Timeline. Excerpt:

News from the Benedictines in Brazil - SSPX Resistance News - Catholic Info
:  "...Our seminary also receive vocations and potential vocations from all over Brazil.
 
 The missions of Rev. Fr. André, OSB, R.P. Dom João da Cruz, OSB and Rev. Fr. David Nass, SAJM bear good fruit in terms of conversions and the strengthening of souls who live far from our chapels and spend a lot of time without the sacraments. They serve a large number of the faithful, mainly in Brazil and Paraguay, but sometimes also in other neighbouring countries.
 
 Two religious from the Monastery of Our Lady of Faith and the Rosary (of Rev. Fr. Jahir Britto, FBMV), in Candeias - BA, received the diaconate in our monastery. With God's grace, they will receive the priesthood from the hands of our Prior in January, on the feast of the Epiphany...."


"... in order to maintain the contemplative life, the monks have to rely on the help of Providence, ..."

AI: Benedictine monasteries support themselves primarily through a combination of agriculture, crafts, and hospitality services, such as hosting retreats and guests. They also engage in manual labor and may produce goods like baked items or handmade crafts to generate income.
