Thank you for the Cor Unum comparison! It gets to the heart of the matter and cuts through the he said/he said stuff.
Where can we find the Cor Unums? Are they public or online?
They are an internal publication of the SSPX, and are mailed directly to member priests and religious.
They are not published for public consumption, and their contents are only made known if a member chooses to publish them individually, or references something contained therein in another media venue.
Ok, thank you. If that is the case, then I cannot understand how all SSPX priests aren't fully aware that +Fellay keeps flip-flopping and has at the very least been playing with the idea of compromising under the guise of "things have changed in Rome, therefore we must also change." I understand that some may be sticking it out out of loyalty and a sense of duty etc... but for those who have gone to the extent of speaking ill of the bishop or priests who have blown the whistle on this change, it must mean they were in agreement with it and not just ignorant of it as I had hoped.
They are afraid to learn that Bishop Fellay is proposing/proposed a course of action contradicting the path laid out by ABL.
When Fr. Hewko was here last week, he said he ran into a SSPX priest at the airport, and asked him if he had read the latest Cor Unum.
The priest said "no."
Amazing.
Fr. Hewko explained they are simply afraid of the consequences of learning about the true Bishop Fellay/Menzingen (i.e., Once they know the truth, they will have to make a decision they are afraid to make).
To me, this seems like culpable ignorance.
And how do they justify the "Nothing has changed in Rome" of March 2013 (Letter #80) versus the "situation has fundamentally changed in Rome" of March 2012 (Cor Unum)
The same way: Don't read them; look for ambiguities to use as protective loopholes (like an indulter reads the V2 docs); etc.
