I don't think, John Grace, that we can accuse some priests like, for example, Fr Clifton, of only having reacted recently. For many priests there was not always an avenue for them to react publicly, and some held their fire in an effort not to create waves until they were absolutely sure that the situation was becoming untenable. Some are more cautious and sometimes that is better. Fr Lindstrom, is certainly one of those who is more cautious, but he is no fool, and is very much attached to the SSPX and Mgr Lefebvre, and Tradition!
