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!
