Well, getting back on track...

We can debate all we like about whether or not the letter of the 3 bishops to Bishop Fellay ought to have been leaked or not.

But, presuming the authenticity of the letter is verified, some things are now clear:

1) It is established there is a great divide within the SSPX on the matter;

2) Resistence to the deal with Rome has been communicated to Menzingen from within;

3) Bishop Fellay has been made aware, from his own, that he is contradicting the path laid out for him by Archbishop Lefebvre, and why that path was so sound all these years;

4) And that nothing has changed in Rome to justify this new course.

Hearing it from his own confreres will do more than a million letters from the faithful.

But will it have any effect?

Who has the authority to declare Fellay is contradicting the path of Lefebvre? Not that this matters to any of you but in 82 Schmidberger was appointed by Lefebvre as Vicar general and he supports the deal. I think he has a pretty good idea of the path laid out by Lefebvre; far better than anyone on this forum.

What authority do you claim that enables you to say the new course can't be justified?

Yes, there is, better known as the rejection of the Catholic teaching which is part of the deposit of the faith of the Baptism of Desire . Feeney and co reject it - hence known as the feeneyite heresy - look it up some time.

Who the heck needs authority to make any such statement? No one needs authority to make that statement, the fact the Fellay is contradicting the path of ABL is plain as day.

There are a few people who have signed up here the last few days who I think are just people from the Fellay camp who like to criticize those who are against a deal. You're one of them.

In the past +Fellay has shown talent for being a shrewd leader and strong
advocate of Tradition, but it seems to me that he has always been the weakest
of the 4 bishops when it comes to keeping Tradition intact. He's a little too
enamored with the thought of reconciliation with "Rome." And he isn't afraid
to say so. He's been singing that tune for at least 15 years, already.

Maybe longer.

Since this letter came out, other things have surfaced to give this letter credibility.
It isn't "right out of left field," therefore, and ought not be disregarded.

A lot hangs in the balance, and this time is critical.

I have several friends who believe that if a "deal" is struck with Rome, all the
SSPX real estate will be turned over to the local diocesan bishops, and some
sold off to pay for pederasty lawsuits. How about them apples?
