I agree, but then when there is a strong personality at the helm who does take decisive and immediate action, all hell breaks loose.
There's been a problem at ICC from almost the beginning. They have two camps of traditionals there:
1. The first camp of traditionals understand that being a traditional Catholic isn't only a tendency towards incense and Latin. They understand that being a traditional catholic encompasses every area of their life.
2. The second camp of traditionals have almost two feet in the world and pay a nod to their nostalgic sensibilities on Sunday morning.
The split you describe exists at EVERY trad chapel, both inside and outside of the SSPX. It is fundamental to the Traditional Movement.
There are those who "get it", and those who are just there because of the aesthetics, custom, family pressure, convenience, etc.
Yes, as unbelievable as it sounds, some are there for convenience. Although most Trads have to drive 1 hour or more for a Tridentine Mass, some people luck out and their CLOSEST chapel is a nice strict one (like the old SSPX). In other words, the Indult or FSSP is actually farther away from them than a stricter (SSPX, CMRI) chapel. So here they are attending Mass with an excellent group (the old SSPX) but they don't understand the Trad movement, much less Archbishop Lefebvre. They are just there because it's a reverent Mass and it's close by.
I know for a fact that some parishioners aren't Trad at all -- I knew of at least one case where an older lady was going to the Novus Ordo and the SSPX indiscriminately. Can you say she really understands the Crisis and what the SSPX stands for? She obviously doesn't understand the Crisis, since she still goes to the Novus Ordo!
Truth is stranger than fiction.
