Ladislaus can rejoice in the coming union of the SSPX and Rome when the past 40 years of resistance will become a footnote in the history books and the name of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre will be erased altogether.  Altogether now: "Mea culpa, Mea culpa, Mea maxima culpa!"

Quote from: J.Paul

All of this mixup and confusion comes from conflating the Catholic Church with the conciliar church. The false belief that something Catholic can be non-Catholic at the same time. As Neil quoted somewhere, this kind of thought  quickly  leads to the end of sound thinking and ruin.

But isn't that the R&R view as well as the SSPX view?

Yes

On countless occasions, in sermons and addresses, in docuмents and books, and in conversation, Archbishop Lefebvre distinguished the
 Conciliar Church from the Catholic Church.

No, it absolutely is not. What can be said is that, due to R&R's sedeplenism, there is a tension in the distinction between Conciliar and Catholic - but the distinction certainly is integral to the "classic" R&R position. Read, learn:

The Neo-SSPX, however, Bp. Fellay and Fr. Pfluger in their sermons and conferences, have sought to blur this distinction.

1. God bless the Holy Father for this truly paternal gesture. It should be noted at this point that Rome has long recognized tacitly the validity of confessions made by SSPX priests, Bishop Fellay said some years ago, "SSPX priests who confront these cases in the confessional [excommunication in cases ordinarily reserved to the Pope] absolve the penitent from the sin, and from the excommunication. According to Church policy, the priest must then send the case to Rome to be examined, and the excommunication formally lifted. Bishop Fellay says, “Every time – absolutely every time – we have received an answer from Rome that the priest who took care of this confession did well, that it was perfectly in order, and it was both licit and valid.” Rome would then comment on the penance, whether it was sufficient or not enough."

This was reported by CFN, Bishop Fellay gave several other proofs of the same at the time. So, in principle, this is not something entirely new, although it obviously reflects the increasingly evident fact that the Society is clearly regarded as integrally Catholic by the Roman authorities.

2. But here again, you Resistance folk openly contradict yourselves at every turn. Bishop Williamson himself said that if the Holy Father were to offer him and Resistance priests a unilateral recognition, His Excellency would "be on the next plane to Rome, I'd be on the next plane to Rome!" The posters here, including Graham and others who critiqued this statement, surely remember this.

So what now? Has even that changed? We are going to refuse even a unilateral regularization from the Pope? Incredible. Unheard of. Based on what exactly in Tradition? Is it the dogma that says one must live outside the communion of the Roman Church and Her Sovereign Pontiff in order to please God and find salvation? Anybody who disagrees that the refusal of a unilateral recognition of a society by Rome is ridiculous show me anything - a Pope, a Saint, a Doctor - saying Catholic societies can be indifferent to the will of Rome and the Pope.

3. A final word on delegated or supplied jurisdiction. Supplied jurisdiction is a delegatio a iure, a delegation operative by the law itself. In a similar manner to how a Pope may send an Apostolic delegate granting him faculties to absolve only in certain specific cases, the law itself, by the tacit consent of the lawgiver, automatically delegates the said power to priests in certain extraordinary circuмstances, most notably the danger of death of the penitent.

Here is Fr. Miaskiewickz explain that even supplied jurisdiction depends on the Pope, "Supplied jurisdiction, then, is a jurisdiction, be it ordinary or delegated, which is bestowed in an extraordinary manner, without any formality, even perchance to people who are unfit and unworthy ... the Supreme Pontiff, from whom all jurisdiction emanates and from whom all common law has its origin, supplies the necessary jurisdiction." Supplied or automatically delegated jurisdiction is not independent of the will of the Sovereign Pontiff, the supreme lawgiver, on the contrary, it depends on at least his tacit consent.

Whether we like it or not, Christ our Lord founded the Church in such a way that all authority, or jurisdiction, "rolls downward" from the Pope, to the bishops appointed by him, the priests sent by him, the faithful governed by them in communion with him. All authority comes from Rome in the Catholic Church. Period.

Have at it, folks.  

"A final consideration concerns those faithful who for various reasons choose to attend churches officiated by priests of the Fraternity of St Pius X. This Jubilee Year of Mercy excludes no one. From various quarters, several Brother Bishops have told me of their good faith and sacramental practice, combined however with an uneasy situation from the pastoral standpoint. I trust that in the near future solutions may be found to recover full communion with the priests and superiors of the Fraternity. In the meantime, motivated by the need to respond to the good of these faithful, through my own disposition, I establish that those who during the Holy Year of Mercy approach these priests of the Fraternity of St Pius X to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation shall validly and licitly receive the absolution of their sins."

So that the SSPX would not criticize his Motu Proprio on the Annulment of Marriage, which was to follow this supposed act of mercy of his, just a few days later. His strategy has obviously worked!

I thought, perhaps, this might have simply been an individual problem with your computer or connection so I did the same thing.  When I click on the link:

SSPX.org has never been a subscription only website.  Evidently, someone posted a commentary but someone else said, "Wait a minute here!  We can't publish that!"  And the webpage was removed from public access though, interestingly, it was not simply deleted.  Something is indeed queer.
