I suspect that Delicacy refers to political delicacy ... as in the types of political double-speak that one hears from SSPX leadership these days.

Obedience has been emphasized since my days in the late 80s / early 90s.  That's because it's the only way to maintain cohesion in a group that is itself in a chronic state of disobedience to the Pope and the hierarchy.  So they emphasize blind obedience to the SSPX leadership while at the same time promoting "faith is greater than obedience" to justify rebellion from Rome.  Bishop Williamson pointed out (even while he was still there) that the SSPX is destined to break up because it relies on an artificial principle of unity ... at one time, the personality of one Archbishop Lefebvre.  This was right after the Archbishop had passed away.  +Williamson predicted that the SSPX would fall apart after his death, since his cult of personality could no longer unify the group, in as much as Catholics can be united only under one Pope and one hierarchy.  I always think back about those lectures to explain why +Williamson didn't constitute a formal group for The Resistance.  He didn't believe that it was appropriate or even viable, considering the Traditional movement just a loose-knit group of Catholics trying to keep the faith.

The Holy Ghost gave him a healthy blessing of Wisdom and Prudence, that's for sure, maybe even some Prophecy. Talk about graces of state! The Holy Ghost dished out graces/blessings to +Williamson from the same heavenly treasure chest that He dished out graces/blessings to one +Marcel Lefebvre years earlier. In fact, they may even be the self-same graces/blessings, that had been returned to the treasure chest after +Lefebvre was done with them after he entered his eternal reward!

+Williamson is one of the most under-appreciated men of his day, and history will be much kinder to him than his own age is. Better than the fate of Obama or John Paul II, who were adored by their own age, but whom history will excoriate to the Nth degree!

Fr. Le Roux came up with a shorthand for the 3 virtues he wanted every seminarian to practice most of all:

THE THREE D'S
------------------
Delicacy - ???
Disinterestedness - "Whatever the superior wants, that's what I want". Complete passivity.
Dependence

Of all the virtues the SSPX American seminary could be pushing on its seminarians -- to the extent they even have a shorthand "Remember the 3 D's!" they can remind each other with -- those three "virtues" are some very curious selections for their FUTURE PRIESTS.

I need not list a bunch of better virtues for a priest: wisdom, piety, knowledge, fortitude, lack of human respect, charity, devotion to Mary, etc. You could easily add to this list.

Also, the super-virtue for SSPX seminarians today is OBEDIENCE. Therefore, logically, the Superior General (the highest target of obedience) is venerated as a living saint. His mouth always speaks the words of God.

They even created a sort of "holy card" commemorating certain Bishop Fellay meeting(s) in Rome, etc.
Delicacy? (totally homo!) Disinterestedness? (indifference.) Dependence (not a manly virtue.)

Looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck? To say the least certainly the 3D's are not manly, I withhold further comment about the author of the 3 D's because I have never been around Fr. Le Roux.
