With this situation being considered as true, it is both a window and a harbinger of the outcome of the Chapter.
We always knew that the Chapter would consist of a majority of loyalists. So it is not a surprise although a great disappointment that so many of the priests have apparently lost any sense of justice.
Whatever proposal is presented for a vote by Bishop Fellay's team in favor of a "deal", will in all likelyhood pass with an equal show support.
If that happens , even now, when Bishops Mueller and DiNoia have made clear their demands for submission to the Council and the Jєωs and the breaking of Tradition and in light of this, Bishop Fellay has not had second thoughts and backed away, it will be unquestionable that he intends to lead the Society into what will end in modernist ruination.
That will be the end. It will become an indult order which will then need to be avoided.
If it becomes an Indult order (to be avoided) it seems impossible that "the three" will
continue to be involved. Rather, I see them separating and starting their own, new
Society, the same as +ABL did, the only difference being, they won't have Rome's
approval in the beginning the way he did. And if that happens, +Fellay will gradually
be replaced by another DiNoia or Muller: these types are a dime a dozen. And when
he's no longer at the helm, then the erstwhile lemmings, the district superior
yes-men, can face the fact that they have to "convert" whole hog to the new way of
doing things, or else be phased out like +Fellay was:
what goes around comes
around! If they're going to do this nefarious deed to +Williamson now, then they
can fully expect to have B16 do it to them later!I hope they're hearing that, because they're making their own problems.
Also, none of us know what, if any, or what kind of pressures might have been offered to the voting body. This is also the first step in rebuilding Bishop Fellay's claim to absolute power. It is indeed interesting that nothing else of substance was leaked but this?
Of course, I hope I will be wrong in these observations but............
