Negotiations are kept secret. There's no need to keep one's doctrinal positions secret, or the doctrinal positions of one's adversaries. There's only a need to keep negotiations secret, so people can't object until it's too late.

Excellent news.
So they can't use Bishop Williamson as fig-leaf for their betrayal of Archbishop Lefebvre.

Thanks Seraphim.

God bless Bishop Williamson!

Good point. I think they've got a problem. The SSPX leaders met behind closed doors in Albano, in order, apparently, to study and take a closer look at the infamous "Preamble." That meeting having ended, they're planning to scrutinize the docuмent even more closely into the indefinite future. Of course, we stillknow really nothing of its contents; and Fr. Rostand and other leaders do not hesitate to tell the faithful that it's none of their business. You have to wonder at this point what kind of story Fellay & Co. may be trying to concoct for eventual release to the press. You can't keep that 'poker face' on forever. You can't match and raise indefinitely. Somebody's got to call their hand eventually. And I have a strange feeling, after all is said and done, that the SSPX is not even holding a pair.

And you should see some of the mental gymnastics being employed by indultarians over at Rorate Coeli in their feeble attempts to explain and/or justify Bishop WIlliamson's absence.

Worth a few chuckles.
