Incred,
You never rebutted my slam-dunk argument.
What evidence do you have that +Fellay is a Freemason at all? Because he welcomed/formed/supports Max Krah, destroyed the SSPX, etc.? The long list of problems with Bishop Fellay does make you wonder. UNTIL YOU CONSIDER that those problems apply equally to about 1/3 of the priests in the SSPX.
Remember, in Catholic morality there are 9 ways to commit a sin. Committing an act personally is only one of the ways.
The other two bishops bear almost as much responsibility as +Fellay for anything he has done -- due to their silence, consent, assistance, etc.
When a crew robs a bank, the ringleader isn't the only one who goes to jail! Those who conspired with him, worked with him, helped him, etc. will also go to jail. And for good reason!
Explaining +Fellay's actions away as "well, he's a card-carrying Freemason!" causes more problems than it solves. So what about his two accomplice Bishops who did little/nothing -- at least nothing effective -- despite their stature and fame? Just look at what +Williamson did meanwhile. Compare their actions to +W's actions.
If it takes "being a Freemason" to do what +Fellay did, then about 1/3 of the SSPX priests and all 3 bishops must be secret, card-carrying members of the Freemasonic cult. And considering that not even ONE SSPX priest has been exposed as being a secret Freemason thus far, I would say it's impossible for dozens (up to 240) SSPX priests to do this.
I understand where you're coming from, but the facts just don't require it.
Besides, what does it matter if +Fellay is a Freemason, or just totally duped into taking the SSPX in a horrible direction? What difference does it make, really? The Modern World is a freemasonic one. Vatican II is all about opening up to the Modern World. The SSPX, led by +Fellay, has certainly become more friendly to the modern world/Conciliar Church/Vatican II in the past several years. That much is indisputable. Freemason or dupe, it's equally tragic.
