A few thoughts on this whole mess.
1. The parents of the bad boys were very upset. They were hoping the SSPX would protect them, but they believed otherwise and we're in the process of redress in their grevences.
2. Fr. Wegner assured them of his support and in turn secured their silence. So much for redressing.
3. No one would dare sully the reputation of the parents, as the SSPX had their backs.
4. The net result everyone is happy, and no one will speak evil of the parents, right? And if they did, the wrath of a 1000 burning suns will decent upon them and the SSPX will defend them.
5. Don't you just love a story with a happy ending?
