They're also concerned with PR. They don't want to "appear" rebellious or kooky or fringe. They need slick PR not only to attract people to their chapels (and finance their expensive building projects) but they don't want to rub Rome the wrong way to make themselves seem like "Pelagians" (as Bergoglio mistakenly called them, meaning something like Jansenists).
And it's working as they planned. Catholic Answers (catholic.com) was at The Angelus Conference and wholeheartedly endorsed Fr. Pagliarani's equivocations regarding the jab. They've hit the "mainstream" now.
That's the lesson they learned after the Bishop Williamson fallout. Let's never embrace another fringe "conspiracy theory". Let's mobilize Fr. Robinson to show that we're behind modern science and not some nutty creationists or geocentrists. And heaven forbid speak about the Jєωs or the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr or anything like that.
So we have the neo-SSPX opening the doors of the SSPX to the world, inevitably with the same outcome as when this was tried before. No more "prophets of doom" and gloom in the Society. We just smile for the cameras, act all nithe and "normal".
