A few years ago, maybe 2011 or 2012, I had picked up an SSPX priest from the airport and was taking him to the chapel. (Some in India suspect this priest to be none other than the poster "Nishant").
I asked him about " the Deal". He began to positively salivate! He even said that all associated groups - including the Transalpine Redemptorists, who were in limbo at that time - would be included in the package. The TR, however, managed to join the Modernists on their own steam.
By the time we approached the chapel I was dry in the mouth and was getting heartburn. I then fired my Scud missile: What if after a deal the Conciliar Church allows married/women priests? (This was still in the reign of St BXVI)
"Oh! we will adhere even more profoundly to the Faith" said this latter day St Thomas Aquinas.
Has Bishop Fellay sounded out the Novus Ordo laity?. Will the women and laymen give up the liturgical privileges they now enjoy? Or will such problems be overcome by allowing them to celebrate the TLM?.
