The way I read it they sound threatened by this consecration, especially in the last paragraph in which they try to reassure everyone they are still as they once were. I smell FEAR.

The Society of St. Pius X denounces this episcopal consecration of Father Faure, which, despite the assertions of both clerics concerned, is not at all comparable to the consecrations of 1988. All the declarations (???) of Bishop Williamson and Fr. Faure prove abundantly that they no longer recognize the Roman authorities, except in a purely rhetorical manner.

The Society of St. Pius X still maintains that the present state of necessity renders legitimate its action throughout the world, without denying the legitimate authority of those for whom it continues to pray at every Mass.

This reads like something directly out of CNN or FoxNews. This type of sneaky language and underhanded planting of ideas is truly demonic.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. If the SSPX doesn't want to recognize "the roman authorities" in a "purely rhetorical manner", they'd better make an agreement yesterday.

Un-flippin-believable.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Now the SSPX will have to either

A) applaud the consecration, or
B) condemn the consecration, but distinguish how they are different

The problem is, they are in essentially the same boat.

UNLESS the SSPX is actively working towards and seeking an agreement with Rome.

So in a certain respect, +Williamson is forcing the SSPX to show its hand.

In the meantime, the SSPX communique is intensely hypocritical. The pot calling the kettle black.

I believe Rome will expect more from + Fellay than what he says in the communique. He has to choose sides regarding necessity or not and if he is already secretly "reintegrated", they may expose him before long. Rome is must be as tired of his ambiguity as we are.
