It did not take long to see more fragmentation; I think it is cyclical and may have something to do with the weather. Let us blame global warming!
Yes, the five part Dawn of the Zombies soap opera was a big mistake. I think here the bish is playing with his audience and is trying to re-establish some kind of position within the ever-present confusion called the SSPX. A bond is supposed to exist between the two rival bishops using female intermediaries from this world and the next. Bp. W was left holding the parcel and and has duly passed it on to his audience to determine the value of its contents. This is his typical modus operandi: leadership from the rear. Naturally, we are therefore inclined to contrast this style with that of the more active within the 'loose association' and credit does have to go to the Kentucky faction for their remarkable enterprise over the last few years. In saying this, I do not have to agree with all of their positions or their way of working.
The influence Bp. W has had and is having within the trad world does deserve some in depth analysis. Maybe because he is the only bishop on the 'right' side of the current Lefebvre divide that he can do no wrong for some people. That and the charisma from being a very rare polished Oxbridge graduate that promotes a uniquely high church product for the English-speaking world along with the added bonus of being very politically incorrect. Doubtless he is following in ABL's footsteps to some extent but is fearful of doing more than he did. Herein lies that weakening stagnation that infuriates the more active trads. I feel therefore an examination of this characteristic in the bishop cannot be undertaken without looking at how it also infected ABL's thinking that in due course solidified as the torpid SSPX. Now, I am beginning to feel very drowsy .......... all things SSPX is very tiring!

The Kentucky faction has never really been taken serious so perhaps when you state it is a remarkable enterprise you are being facetious.

If the Kentucky faction is not taken seriously, why would a nobody from another country be so interested in it to the point of writing "open letters" to them?

Do you have a solid counterargument or is that all you can say? when someone reacts like this, he just looses credibility...

I'm not worried about credibility or arguing with keyboard warriors. For weeks this Ignacio coward is taunting me every chance he gets, well will see if he likes to taunt people in person. I could care a less what these cowards think about me or the hillbillies in Kentucky. We'll see where their heart is when they stand toe to toe taunting me all the time behind the keyboard. I got something for that.

His Achilles' heel teeth you found, dear Militia Jesu.
P.S. At least he doesn't want to shoot you, in contrast to Mrs Elsa's wants.

Wessex, I think you may be trying to 'outclever' yourself. By these cynical remarks I could almost swear that you too are to be numbered among the Sasquatches. If you think that the "bish" is "playing with his audience," then, of course, I can only assume that you have lost all respect for him. You obviously take a very dim view of the "seer" and her credibility. But dismissing her out of hand is simply du jour on this forum. No truly sophisticated poster like yourself could dare think otherwise. You would immediately lose your hard-won forum credentials. Your would be instantly relegated to Cathinfo's back bench, and all the forum's hairy creatures would raise an awful cacophony of chirping and grunting against you. We can't have that.
I tend to believe the woman, as you all know. I do not believe that the bishop is "trying to re-establish" anything, least of all a position within the SSPX. If this were the case, then I can not think of a clumsier way of going about it.

Occasionally I see a satirical post by your good self I like in part - but over the years I think it's fairly safe to say I usually disagree with you, but in this case there is little to fault.
If you think +W is playing "pass the parcel" do you think that the last layer has been removed or is that old worn copy of his favorite Tiny Tim's "Tiptoe through the Tulips" record still playing on his wind-up gramaphone ?
Now Hollingsworth for that matter is a different kettle of Sasquatch altogether !

My guess is you should've learnt about one famous portuguese proverb by now:
"Cachorro que late não morde" / "Dogs that bark too much don't bite"
Plus, I'm vaccinated against rabies transmitted by street mutts just in case. Yes, I'm always ready for them!

Except I think Mgr Fellay is largely ignoring both Bishop Williamson and the Resistance.

Wise Wessex. You are the most observant among us! Perhaps a little black coffee for your drowsing sleeps:
Let's look at this in a larger context. What we have here might also simply be the age-old two sides of Catholicism, namely the opportune Jesuitical diplomats vs. the principled Franciscan and Augustinian zelanti. The optimistic take would be that the "ever-present confusion called the SSPX" might just be some dreadfully clever Jesuitical diplomacy led by Bishop Fellay whose true impetus will be more fatally insidious to the Novus Ordo than can be dreamt of in our philosophy. Perhaps there is some method to the SSPX madness? However that would leave Bishop Williamson as he who has fallen down between two chairs onto a painfully hard stone floor beneath.
Then the Zelanti would be elsewhere, neither among the hapless Resistance nor among the Fideist (aka brain dead) dogmatic sedevacantists, but rather among the zealous Catholic Nationalists of popular nightmare. Strange as this must strike our sometimes dull-minded fellow bloggers, perhaps Madame Le Pen has much more to do with our Catholic future than the crestfallen and now demoralised Bishop Williamson together with all his many fast-moving parcels.
Instead of Dawn of the Zombies, perhaps the movie now playing is actually Dawn of the Parousia. Just an apocalyptic Franciscan thought! In any event the Jesuitism of the SSPX may make much more sense when we contrast it with its actual contemporary Catholic opposite. At present Pan-European Nationalism (necessarily in essence Roman and Catholic) is exactly like a loaded gun (cf. the on-going Ukrainian cινιℓ ωαr and the supervolcano now erupting in and around Jerusalem, aka Armageddon). Bishop Williamson is playing comic relief during the Intermission, but the Second Act promises to be not for the faint-hearted.
Belt in, good slumbering Wessex -- we are out from the starting gate and in for a heart-stopping wild ride all the way down to the wire.

Franciscan:
Wise Wessex. You are the most observant among us!
Well, if you can't really understand them, they must be wise. Franciscan and Wessex are apparently joined now in a bond of mutually shared wisdom. It is, of course, a higher wisdom, or gnosis, beyond the ken of most "dull minded bloggers," These simple folks, uncomprehending and stupified, sit by silently with their thumbs in their mouths. What else can they do? Franciscan and Wessex observe things which the intellects of the average blogger can not possibly apprehend. Wessex speaks of another bond which supposedly exists "between the two rival bishops using female intermediaries from this world and the next." That bond, of course, does not approach in truth, the bond which now exists between Wessex and Franciscan. What is more, the bond uniting the bishops involves a female intermediary from the next world. Naturally, the unwashed blogger, dimwitted as he is, catches on immediately, and dismisses the absurdity of it all out of hand. Whereas, since he hasn't the vaguest notion about what really unites Wessex and Franciscan, he is tempted to think that maybe the pair are on much firmer and more realistic ground than the two bishops. Of course, that same blogger may find out later that Wessex and Franciscan do not share a bond of wisdom at all. Such "wisdom," it may later be discovered, is just plain old horse_____t. :shocked:

I could care a less what these cowards think about me or the hillbillies in Kentucky.
That's a fair assessment of the populace in the Bluegrass State.....!

If you cannot win (on earth), join them. This could well be the motivation of the new SSPX. A recognition that the hierarchy has debauched itself through history and the Church will forgive you for not being able to negotiate with true saints in Rome. The difference here though is the hierarchy wants to change the rules and make debauchery an acceptable expression of the human condition rather than as a failing. The abolition of sin! Could not the Society become hopelessly corrupted once it enters the portals of modern Rome? Is that why diplomacy has come down to finding an urgent place within the pantheon and avoiding inconvenient truths? Does Bp. Fellay really think he can change hearts and minds in the new citadel of sanctified immorality? And does he want to?
An alternative to all this is withdrawing from such an odious prospect and not engaging with the world except to repeat that it is doomed! I am drowning in negative comments cataloguing the immense corruption in all aspects of life without any clear intentions to disrupt the pattern of our lives and incur discomfort. The survival of the Church may as you say depend on a reawakening of Christian themes as we try and assert our national identities away from the politically planned amorphous one. But I am at pains to discover what the American version would look like! The curse of unfettered
migration though is intended to thwart any return to old religious and national values.

It think, basically, that I follow Wessex's reasoning above in the first short paragraph. No, indeed. I don't think that +F is really persuaded that he can change hearts and minds in the "citadel of sanctified immoraility." (I think he means Rome :furtive:) +F has fallen victim, I feel, to the ʝʊdɛօ/masons in the Vatican and within his own organzation. They may know things about him that we don't. In other words, he may have been severely compromised by the Romans, even, perhaps, blackmailed. But enough of that. Such is mere speculation.
It's Wessex's following paragraph which thoroughly escapes me. Is this meant to be intelligible prose? Perhaps it's a kind of T. S. Eliotish blank verse. Whatever it is, I do not dare ask Wessex what he means. He might come back at me with the words of J. Alfred Prufrock:
It is impossible to say just what I mean!
But as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen:
Would it have been worth while
If one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl,
And turning toward the window, should say:
“That is not it at all,
That is not what I meant, at all.”
