Note that the SSPX is officially taking issue with my "Minor" -- that the consecrations are the same in their essence.

Well, anyone who seriously looks into it can see that they're the same.

+Williamson even said publicly that no jurisdiction was to be given or assumed. He was doing it for the survival of the Traditional movement. 100% exactly the same as Archbishop Lefebvre in 1988.

I wonder how many dupes in the SSPX will believe their line of bull, or how many will open their eyes now.

I would not count on too many conversions. Their faithful are conditioned to make some kind of sense, even if awkward, out of whatever dictates and statements come out of the Castle. They do not seem to look beyond the words that are given them, and obviously, they do not want to. This certainly goes for most of the priests as well. Ample evidence has come to light that would give pause or sway a reasonable man.

You're probably right.

If they don't believe Moses and the prophets (who worked countless physical miracles), neither will they believe if one comes back from the dead.

(I love that passage -- it has meaning on so many levels).

The parable was Abraham talking to Dives, who just went to hell. So the "one giving testimony from beyond the grave" literally referred to Dives, hoping to appear to his brethren to try to convert them.

But it also applies to Our Lord, who worked miracles and rose Himself from the dead. And those who rejected Moses will also reject Our Lord -- once you've rejected the evidence of your own eyes, God's messengers, etc. what's one more rejection?

It's tempting for me (and others) to believe this evidence is especially strong, since it's new and clear -- but you're right, this isn't the first clear evidence we've seen that something is wrong. People have brushed off many other items equivalent to this.
