Nevertheless --
Let's not lose sight of the main issue with the SSPX:
They have changed (past tense)
- not -
"Dare gon' be a deal wif Rome."
The latter? We could be wrong. They could drag it out for years. They could stick to a de-facto, unofficial capitulation on the part of the SSPX, for the next 20 years.
But if the SSPX *has* changed -- for example, their seminary formation has drastically changed (it has!) and keep in mind the SSPX is first and foremost a society for the formation of Traditional priests -- then we're all in trouble. More specifically, we all need to Resist, regardless of our "chances", the numbers in the Resistance, the current state of it, etc. We have no choice but to oppose the Novus Ordo-ing of the SSPX. And it has already begun, and is actually far advanced at this point!
For that matter, most of you are too young to remember the immediate aftermath of Vatican II (and yes I'm a bit cheeky for bringing up this point, since I was born in the mid-70's myself) but at least I learned from books after the fact... Anyhow, my point is: there were plenty of "good" or traditionally-minded priests here and there, at churches here and there, for many years after the Novus Ordo was released. They were formed "the old way", just as many SSPX priests today were formed before 2003, when the big changes started hitting in their seminaries. The % of "good priests" back then might be only slightly less than the % that we see in the SSPX today.
I don't know much about the SSPX, what was their seminary training like before the changes and what is it like now?
