Since like maybe the last 5 years, it appears that the vast majority of the new parishioners coming to my chapel, are Novus Ordo & Indult mass attendees, who out of convenience are coming to this SSPX chapel. These are people who maybe are attending the Novus Ordo during the week, or would just as well attend a Fraternity of St. Peter chapel if it was closer by.
Now it is also obvious that the new SSPX hierarchy does not want the "old hardline Lefebvre-ists", and actually prefers the Novus Ordo/ Indult friendly parishioners. The only enemies today, the only whipping boys, are the "hardline Lefebvre-ist", and the sedevacantes. The people who say that they see no changes in the SSPX, should ask themselves, when was the last time that they heard a sermon against the Novus Ordo or the Indult mass communities? Every day we receive a letter or article or sermon from the SSPX against the SSPXers who are against the accord, but not a one against anyone else?
I try to talk to everyone that regularly comes to the SSPX chapel that I attend, to learn about them and why they are coming to the SSPX. Before I use to attend a old humble building, and now it is a new attractive church that has all of the "architectural marble, and smells&bells high masses with chorus and vestments and such. Maybe it is because the new church is visually attractive, or perhaps it is because the SSPX is changing, but it is clear to me that since like the last maybe 5 years, more and more Novus Ordo & Indult mass attendees are coming to my chapel, and not a sermon against the Novus Ordo & Indult mass.
