I applaud the French for establishing the USML. I think it should be expanded to the whole world.
I think it was from the beginning. If you look on the
Non Possumus website, it mentions the USML, even though the website is out of Latin America. It is international. But of course, a priest has to
want to join it.
I agree with Bp. Williamson that any authority in such an informal and not canonically erected organization would come from the priest members themselves, and that they could take it away if they wanted, but even that is preferable to anarchy and to inter-group conflicts such as the one between Fr. Pfeiffer's and Fr. Zendejas' groups.
But again, the above-mentioned priests would have to want to join it. A recent conference mentioned here seemed to be more or less a USML event, given the presence of +W and the Dominicans. But if certain other priests in the USA do not want to join USML or consider themselves part of it, then somehow it doesn't prevent "conflicts" if you know what I mean.
I could be making a bad assumption that some priests don't consider themselves part of USML or aren't fully in favor of it, but maybe I picked up that impression from the snide comment on a certain website*. If others have info. on the current attitude of [a priest from Boston KY mentioned above - I just realized that CI must automatically change certain terms, which is why the link didn't work, and why something I wrote here didn't] toward the USML, that would be helpful. Nevertheless, I believe the USML is already very much expanded to the whole world, and always was.
*Had to edit my previous post because for some reason the link wasn't working. This is the link (whether it will work correctly once posted here on CI I don't know; it wasn't when embedded):

The French have found a nice comfortable place** from which to engage Satan and his Apostate Angels.
pablo the Amateur Exorcist productions wishes them well in all their endeavors.
**The monastery where the Dominicans of Avrillé have
always been is a "nice comfortable place"? :stare:
