This isn't a private debate of theologians who have the same Faith trying to determine how Church teachings can be properly expressed. These are two sides, negotiating Church doctrine, coming at the question from positions that are fundamentally irreconcilable. The reason to keep it secret is to conceal the fact that there are negotiations going on - doctrine can't be negotiated.
You don't know that doctrine is being negotiated Tele...
The Vatican sends a draft, the SSPX sends back suggested changes. That's negotiation.
No, that's called correcting the Vatican and setting forth one's position. By your standard, any kind of interaction must be construed as "negotiation" or "compromising." One wonders how you can even engage in debate without falling under the sword of your own self-sustained delusion.
Your reply to my post was but a regurgitation of your previous statement so I really don't see any need to further engage. Your imagination is second only to the artifically verbose and affected "Wessex" whose concocted posts are barely intelligible but nevertheless flow from a fecund, albeit dark, imagination.
Nice try, Caminus.
"A rose by any other name is but a rose just the same."
Bishop Fellay is given a preamble in which he is asked to accept the new catechism, etc.
If he accepts it, there is no negotiation.
If he sends something else back, it is negotiation.
