What questions would you like to ask?

The most recent edition of a publication called The Recusant is probably the best place to answer your question. The link is here http://www.ecclesiamilitans.com/2013/09/23/the-recusant-issue-10-septemberoctober-2013/

Thank you! I'll read this.

I'm new here and am trying to learn as much as I can about the Resistance.

What is CathInfo's opinion of the Resistance?

What is the significance of the Resistance movement?- Not much.

How come Bishop Fellay has kicked out so many SSPX Priests out? What have they done wrong? - They tried to make themselves popes.

The Resistance movement seems to be gaining ground with Bishop Williamson and Fr. Jean Faure.

It seems to be coming down to the SSPX talking with Rome and weakening their position, doesn't it? I don't think Archbishop Lefebvre would want this, so the Resistance are doing what he would do, right? No talking with Rome until they convert to Tradition (then there would be no need, really)?  - Not. The Archbishop always kept an open door policy regarding Rome. Even after his death, this policy continued, hence the doctrinal discussion, to which no one at the time seemed to object.

‘Why do I maintain relations with Rome? Why do I keep going to Rome? Because I think that Rome is the center of Catholicism, because I think that there cannot be any Catholic Church without Rome. Consequently, if our purpose is to find a way of setting the Church straight again, it is by turning to Rome that maybe, with the grace of God, we may perhaps manage to set the situation straight. It is not one single bishop like myself who can set the whole situation straight in the Catholic Church. That is why I strive to keep on going to Rome and to plead the cause of Tradition.’ –Conference of Archbishop Lefebvre given at Long Island, NY on November 5, 1983

You might also find this talk of Fr. Themann informative - hearing the other side helps give clarity amidst so much misinformation.

He is directing you to another Menzingen apologist.

 Read the Doctrinal Declaration of 2012 and understand the plain and objective meaning of its words.  Then make your determination. You do not require an interpreter or spin to understand it.

well that's OK..Fr. Themann's conference has convinced more people of the rightness of the Resistance than the other way around...Especially when you listen to fr. Pfeiffer's and Fr. Hewko's responses to it.

Thanks for the help.

You summed it up pretty well, especially the part I put in bold.
I changed the word "talking" to "deal", because talking to NewRome might be okay, if every time you did you simply said things like:

Eminence, even if you give us everything--a bishop, some autonomy from the bishops, the 1962 liturgy, allow us to continue our seminaries--we cannot work together because we are going in different directions. You are working to dechristianize society and the Church, and we are working to Christianize them.

and/or

“Do you agree with the great encyclicals of all the popes who preceded you? Do you agree with Quanta Cura of Pius IX, Immortale Dei and Libertas of Leo XIII, Pascendi Gregis of Pius X, Quas Primas of Pius XI, Humani Generis of Pius XII? Are you in full communion with these Popes and their teachings? Do you still accept the entire Anti-Modernist Oath? Are you in favor of the social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ? If you do not accept the doctrine of your predecessors, it is useless to talk! As long as you do not accept the correction of the Council, in consideration of the doctrine of these Popes, your predecessors, no dialogue is possible. It is useless.”

If +F would have had a form letter with those quotes on it the past many years, and every time someone from NewChurch wanted to talk, he simply sent out the form letter, he could have saved a lot of time and grief and worse.  I'm glad you mentioned the "weakening their position" aspect, because, although the "deal" was what got what most here think of as "The Resistance" started last year (although as some point out, there are priests who started resisting much sooner), the real problem is really not the "deal" with NewRome so much as the fact that the SSPX has changed - and the effects that has and will have.  But others can and have explained it much better than I can, so.....
