Honestly I don't know if the resistance is meant to gain traction in that way. Most of us are still SSPX'ers anyway, we simply have a disagreement with the current superior's MO, not with the SSPX itself.
I am curious what God has in store for those He has awoken with this near-iceberg collision. Being alert and standing guard is difficult when the plan is not clear. You are ready for action yet must stand and wait. You find yourself chomping at the bit, but for what? Does God want a stand alone organization to grow or does He just want a few extra sentinels trained and ready for the next attack? I think this lull can be used for better. Had something arisen out of the ashes immediately, it would have always had a pseudo-SSPX stigma. Given time, perhaps people can let the dust settle and view the resistance's points more objectively. Having to stick with one's parish reinforces that the loyalty is to the SSPX, just not to Bishops Fellay's handing it over.
If nothing else, it's good for the humility. Becoming a "grand movement" overnight would have bloated not a few egos I'm sure. But that's not what we're here for, so the it keeps us on track to be small and seemingly insignificant.
I understand what you mean; yet with observance , there are a number of SSPX priests, and a SSPX Bishop, that have been "thrown out" into the traitors dustbins, as the Pharisees also tried to do with our Lord and the Apostles (...). As these "outcasts" do have souls, they are also the trained "sentinels" that you spoke of. As they do have the True Faith -then God is in them- and His hand is on them...
In Scripture, within the Old and the New Testaments, we read so many times that an important figure was "thrown out" for unwanted trash by the leaders and the people; but God uses men's sins to draw something good out of it. Then after men's punishment, and the time of dust is cleared, God's sweet Providence does something mighty, in the power of the Holy Ghost, to restore His order.
Is this another time in history, in the bigger picture of men's sins, that cry out for punishment, chastisement, and another captivity (fema camps), that important figures are "thrown out for trash" by the leaders and the people for God's safe keeping, until the time of men's punishment are over and the dust had cleared -in order resurface again?
You and I, a small number of us in our epoch of time, just happen to see some of the material and minute details of this. We even know the ("sinner") individual(s). But, when we read in scripture, these material and minute details are flashed over to get to the main point...God's order.
Indeed, all is a mystery.
With the Blessed Mother, our joy and our hope is in the name of the Lord...in His Faith, and His Truth.
Nothing is "wasted"...we are living in a significant part of Church history that our Great Grandchildren will be reading about one day -what happened in the years of Vatican II? What did the people do with the Faith entrusted to them?
It is an answer that I want to be on the Right side of our Lord, to hear His words, and say: "Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord". (Matthew 25:21).
